And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about.

And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a perpetual incense before the LORD, throughout your generations.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
|
| 30:12 |
When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to the LORD, when thou numberest them: that there may be no plague among them, when [thou] numberest them.
|
| 30:13 |
This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs:) a half shekel [shall be] the offering of the LORD.
|
| 30:14 |
Every one that passeth among them that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD.
|
| 30:15 |
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when [they] give an offering to the LORD to make an atonement for your souls.
|
| 30:16 |
And thou shalt take the atonement-money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
|
| 30:18 |
Thou shalt also make a laver [of] brass, and its foot [also of] brass, to wash [in]: [and] thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
|
| 30:19 |
For Aaron and their sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
|
| 30:20 |
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not: or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to the LORD.
|
| 30:21 |
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, [even] to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
|
| 30:22 |
Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
|
| 30:23 |
Take thou also to thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half as much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels],
|
| 30:24 |
And of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive-oil a hin:
|
| 30:25 |
And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
|
| 30:26 |
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation with it, and the ark of the testimony,
|
| 30:27 |
And the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of incense,
|
| 30:28 |
And the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot.
|
| 30:29 |
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy.
|
| 30:30 |
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that [they] may minister to me in the priest's office.
|
| 30:31 |
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to me, throughout your generations.
|
| 30:32 |
Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make [any other] like it, after the composition of it: it [is] holy, [and] it shall be holy to you.
|
| 30:33 |
Whoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whoever putteth [any] of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
|
| 30:34 |
And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these] sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like [weight]:
|
| 30:35 |
And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure [and] holy:
|
| 30:36 |
And thou shalt beat [some] of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be to you most holy:
|
| 30:37 |
And [as for] the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to its composition: it shall be to thee holy for the LORD.
|
| 30:38 |
Whoever shall make the like to that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
