1And you will make an altar to burn incense on: of acacia wood you will make it. 2A cubit will be its length, and a cubit its width; foursquare it will be; and two cubits will be its height: its horns will be of one piece with it. 3And you will overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and you will make to it a crown of gold round about. 4And two golden rings you will make for it under its crown; on the two ribs of it, on the two sides of it you will make them; and they will be for places for poles with which to bear it. 5And you will make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 6And you will put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony where I will meet with you. 7And Aaron will burn on it incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he will burn it. 8And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he will burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your{+} generations. 9You{+} will offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and you{+} will pour no drink-offering on it. 10And Aaron will make atonement on the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year he will make atonement for it throughout your{+} generations: it is most holy to Yahweh. 11And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12When you take the sum of the sons of Israel, according to those who are numbered of them, then they will give every man a ransom for himself to Yahweh, when you number them; that there will be no plague among them, because you number them. 13This they will give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh. 14Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, will give the offering of Yahweh. 15The rich will not give more, and the poor will not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your{+} souls. 16And you will take the atonement money from the sons of Israel, and will appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your{+} souls. 17And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18You will also make a basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, whereat to wash. And you will put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you will put water in it. 19And Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and their feet from it: 20when they go into the tent of meeting, they will wash with water, that they will not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 21So they will wash their hands and their feet, that they will not die: and it will be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations. 22Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 23You also take to you the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty, 24and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin. 25And you will make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it will be a holy anointing oil. 26And you will anoint with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, 27and the table and all its vessels, and the lampstand and its vessels, and the altar of incense, 28and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the basin and its base. 29And you will sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatever touches them will be holy. 30And you will anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may serve me in the priest's office. 31And you will speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This will be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your{+} generations. 32On the flesh of man it will not be poured, neither will you{+} make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy, [and] it will be holy to you{+}. 33Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he will be cut off from his people. 34And Yahweh said to Moses, Take to you sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each there will be a like weight; 35and you will make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure [and] holy: 36and you will beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you: it will be to you{+} most holy. 37And the incense which you will make, according to its composition you{+} will not make for yourselves: it will be to you holy for Yahweh. 38Whoever will make like that, to smell of it, he will be cut off from his people.
