The Sweet Fragrance of Sacrifice


I've been reading the Old Testament from the Septuagint. It's nice. 

This morning I was reading the instructions for the building of the Altar of Sacrifice in Exodus 27 when I stumbled across the words "incense bowls" (v.3) What? There was incense at the first Altar? So I went to the NIV and saw that it translates those same words as "fire-pans." I like incense better - as the Sacrifice of Christ is a sweet savour to the God - and that Christ carries in his Body - the prayers of the saints.
