Exodus 30
The Altar of Incense
1 a“You shall make ban altar on which to burn incense; you shall make it of acacia wood. 2A cubit ▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth. It shall be square, and two cubits shall be its height. dIts horns shall be of one piece with it. 3You shall eoverlay it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And you shall make a molding of gold around it. 4And you shall make two golden rings for it. Under its molding on two opposite sides of it you shall make them, and they shall be fholders for poles with which to carry it. 5You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 6And you shall put it in front of the veil that is above the ark of the testimony, in front of the gmercy seat that is above the testimony, where I will meet with you. 7And Aaron shall hburn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he idresses the lamps he shall burn it, 8and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations. 9You shall not offer junauthorized incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and you shall not pour a drink offering on it. 10 kAaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year. With the blood of the lsin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.” The Census Tax
11The Lord said to Moses, 12 m“When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give na ransom for his life to the Lord when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them. 13Each one who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
according to the pshekel of the sanctuary (the qshekel is twenty gerahs), ▼▼A gerah was about 1/50 ounce or 0.6 gram
shalf a shekel as an offering to the Lord. 14Everyone who is numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the Lord’s offering. 15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than tthe half shekel, when you give the Lord’s offering to make atonement for your lives. 16You shall take the atonement money from the people of Israel and shall ugive it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may bring the people of Israel to vremembrance before the Lord, so as to make atonement for your lives.” The Bronze Basin
17The Lord said to Moses, 18“You shall also make a wbasin of bronze, with its stand of bronze, for washing. xYou shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it, 19with which Aaron and his sons yshall wash their hands and their feet. 20When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn a food offering ▼▼Or an offering by fire
to the Lord, they shall wash with water, so that they may not die. 21They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die. It shall aabe a statute forever to them, even to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.” The Anointing Oil and Incense
22The Lord said to Moses, 23“Take the abfinest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, 250, and 250 of acaromatic cane, 24and 500 of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a adhin ▼▼A hin was about 4 quarts or 3.5 liters
of olive oil. 25And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the afperfumer; it shall be a agholy anointing oil. 26 ahWith it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, 27and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, 28and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the aibasin and its stand. 29You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy. ajWhatever touches them will become holy. 30 akYou shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests. 31And you shall say to the people of Israel, ‘This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. 32It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition. alIt is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33 amWhoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’” 34The Lord said to Moses, an“Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part), 35and make an aoincense blended as by the apperfumer, aqseasoned with salt, pure and holy. 36You shall beat some of it very small, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting arwhere I shall meet with you. asIt shall be most holy for you. 37And the incense that you shall make ataccording to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves. It shall be for you holy to the Lord. 38 auWhoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people.”
