Zohar Tzav

DZ 3306
#84
Rabbi Aba explains that the two altars in the Holy Temple have two Holy Altars parallel to them in the upper levels. The inner Altar is the Golden Altar where the High Priest burns the incense twice a day and connects to the Holy Altar above.
The other Altar is outside, large and covered with copper. It is where the angel Michael, brings sacrifices to raise aroma to the Holy One Blessed be He.

The inner altar for the incense connects to Binah and the outer altar connects to Zeir Anpin.

Proverbs 27:9
“שֶׁמֶן וּקְטֹרֶת יְשַׂמַּח לֵב וּמֶתֶק רֵעֵהוּ מֵעֲצַת נָפֶשׁ.”
“Oil and perfume (Ketoret, Incense) delight the heart, And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel.”
It is written Oil and Ketoret ‘delight the heart’, not oil and other offerings.
Oil and Ketoret represent the unification of Chokmah, oil, and Binah, Ketoret. They are on a higher level and free from judgments. Other offerings unify Zeir Anpin and Malchut and may have judgments attached to them. They don’t reach the level of joy that the Oil and Ketoret bring.

#86
The Golden Altar for the Ketoret described as ‘Holy of Holies to YHVH’ (Exodus 30:10). The other Altar was called the Copper Altar.

Lesson;
The inner Altar that was inside the Tabernacle, in front of the Holy of Holies, represents our inner faith and connection to YHVH. It represents the purity of our hearts and our consciousness when meditating and praying.

The outer altar represents our positive actions, sacrifices, that may have a personal or selfish agenda attached to them, which is the aspect of judgments.
Our actions should be with the desire to connect to the Light of the Holy One Blessed be He as servants that need his protection and nourishments.
