1
And thou shalt make[H6213] an altar[H4196] to burn[H4729]incense[H7004] upon: of shittim[H7848]wood[H6086] shalt thou make[H6213] it.
2
A cubit[H520] shall be the length[H753] thereof, and a cubit[H520] the breadth[H7341] thereof; foursquare[H7251] shall it be: and two cubits[H520] shall be the height[H6967] thereof: the horns[H7161] thereof shall be of the same.
3
And thou shalt overlay[H6823] it with pure[H2889]gold[H2091], the top[H1406] thereof, and the sides[H7023] thereof round about[H5439], and the horns[H7161] thereof; and thou shalt make[H6213] unto it a crown[H2213] of gold[H2091] round about[H5439].
4
And two[H8147]golden[H2091]rings[H2885] shalt thou make[H6213] to it under the crown[H2213] of it, by the two[H8147]corners[H6763] thereof, upon the two[H8147]sides[H6654] of it shalt thou make[H6213] it; and they shall be for places[H1004] for the staves[H905] to bear[H5375] it withal[H1992].
5
And thou shalt make[H6213] the staves[H905] of shittim[H7848]wood[H6086], and overlay[H6823] them with gold[H2091].
6
And thou shalt put[H5414] it before[H6440] the vail[H6532] that is by the ark[H727] of the testimony[H5715], before[H6440] the mercy seat[H3727] that is over the testimony[H5715], where I will meet[H3259] with thee.
7
And Aaron[H175] shall burn[H6999] thereon sweet[H5561]incense[H7004] every morning[H1242]: when he dresseth[H3190] the lamps[H5216], he shall burn[H6999]incense[H6999] upon it.
8
And when Aaron[H175]lighteth[H5927] the lamps[H5216] at even[H6153], he shall burn incense[H6999] upon it, a perpetual[H8548]incense[H7004]before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] throughout your generations[H1755].
9
Ye shall offer[H5927] no strange[H2114]incense[H7004] thereon, nor burnt sacrifice[H5930], nor meat offering[H4503]; neither shall ye pour[H5258] drink offering[H5262] thereon.
10
And Aaron[H175] shall make an atonement[H3722] upon the horns[H7161] of it once[H259] in a year[H8141] with the blood[H1818] of the sin offering[H2403] of atonements[H3725]: once[H259] in the year[H8141] shall he make atonement[H3722] upon it throughout your generations[H1755]: it is most[H6944]holy[H6944] unto the LORD[H3068].
11
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
12
When thou takest[H5375] the sum[H7218] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] after their number[H6485], then shall they give[H5414] every man[H376] a ransom[H3724] for his soul[H5315] unto the LORD[H3068], when thou numberest[H6485] them; that there be no plague[H5063] among them, when thou numberest[H6485] them.
13
This they shall give[H5414], every one that passeth[H5674]among[H5921] them that are numbered[H6485], half[H4276] a shekel[H8255] after the shekel[H8255] of the sanctuary:(a shekel[H8255] is twenty[H6242]gerahs[H1626]:) an half[H4276]shekel[H8255] shall be the offering[H8641] of the LORD[H3068].
14
Every one that passeth[H5674] among them that are numbered[H6485], from twenty[H6242]years[H8141]old[H1121] and above[H4605], shall give[H5414] an offering[H8641] unto the LORD[H3068].
15
The rich[H6223] shall not give[H5414]more[H7235], and the poor[H1800] shall not give[H5414]less[H4591] than half[H4276] a shekel[H8255], when they give[H5414] an offering[H8641] unto the LORD[H3068], to make an atonement[H3722] for your souls[H5315].
16
And thou shalt take[H3947] the atonement[H3725]money[H3701] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and shalt appoint[H5414] it for the service[H5656] of the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150]; that it may be a memorial[H2146] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]before[H6440] the LORD[H3068], to make an atonement[H3722] for your souls[H5315].
17
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
18
Thou shalt also make[H6213] a laver[H3595] of brass[H5178], and his foot[H3653] also of brass[H5178], to wash[H7364] withal: and thou shalt put[H5414] it between the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150] and the altar[H4196], and thou shalt put[H5414]water[H4325] therein.
19
For Aaron[H175] and his sons[H1121] shall wash[H7364] their hands[H3027] and their feet[H7272] thereat:
20
When they go[H935] into the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150], they shall wash[H7364] with water[H4325], that they die[H4191] not; or when they come near[H5066] to the altar[H4196] to minister[H8334], to burn offering[H6999] made by fire[H801] unto the LORD[H3068]:
21
So they shall wash[H7364] their hands[H3027] and their feet[H7272], that they die[H4191] not: and it shall be a statute[H2706] for ever[H5769] to them, even to him and to his seed[H2233] throughout their generations[H1755].
22
Moreover the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
23Take[H3947] thou also unto thee principal[H7218]spices[H1314], of pure[H1865]myrrh[H4753]five[H2568]hundred[H3967] shekels, and of sweet[H1314]cinnamon[H7076]half[H4276] so much[H4276], even two hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572] shekels, and of sweet[H1314]calamus[H7070] two hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572] shekels,
24
And of cassia[H6916]five[H2568]hundred[H3967] shekels, after the shekel[H8255] of the sanctuary[H6944], and of oil[H8081]olive[H2132] an hin[H1969]:
25
And thou shalt make[H6213] it an oil[H8081] of holy[H6944]ointment[H4888], an ointment[H7545]compound[H4842] after the art[H4639] of the apothecary[H7543]: it shall be an holy[H6944]anointing[H4888]oil[H8081].
26
And thou shalt anoint[H4886] the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150] therewith, and the ark[H727] of the testimony[H5715],
27
And the table[H7979] and all his vessels[H3627], and the candlestick[H4501] and his vessels[H3627], and the altar[H4196] of incense[H7004],
28
And the altar[H4196] of burnt offering[H5930] with all his vessels[H3627], and the laver[H3595] and his foot[H3653].
29
And thou shalt sanctify[H6942] them, that they may be most[H6944]holy[H6944]: whatsoever toucheth[H5060] them shall be holy[H6942].
30
And thou shalt anoint[H4886]Aaron[H175] and his sons[H1121], and consecrate[H6942] them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office[H3547].
31
And thou shalt speak[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], This shall be an holy[H6944]anointing[H4888]oil[H8081] unto me throughout your generations[H1755].
32
Upon man's flesh[H1320] shall it not be poured[H3251], neither shall ye make[H6213] any other like it, after the composition[H4971] of it: it is holy[H6944], and it shall be holy[H6944] unto you.
33Whosoever[H834]compoundeth[H7543] any like it, or whosoever[H376]putteth[H5414] any of it upon a stranger[H2114], shall even be cut[H3772] off from his people[H5971].
34
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Take[H3947] unto thee sweet[H5561]spices[H5561], stacte[H5198], and onycha[H7827], and galbanum[H2464]; these sweet[H5561]spices[H5561] with pure[H2134]frankincense[H3828]: of each[H905] shall there be a like[H905] weight:
35
And thou shalt make[H6213] it a perfume[H7004], a confection[H7545] after the art[H4639] of the apothecary[H7543], tempered[H4414] together, pure[H2889] and holy[H6944]:
36
And thou shalt beat[H7833] some of it very small[H1854], and put[H5414] of it before[H6440] the testimony[H5715] in the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150], where I will meet[H3259] with thee: it shall be unto you most[H6944]holy[H6944].
37
And as for the perfume[H7004] which thou shalt make[H6213], ye shall not make[H6213] to yourselves according to the composition[H4971] thereof: it shall be unto thee holy[H6944] for the LORD[H3068].
38Whosoever[H834] shall make[H6213] like unto that, to smell[H7306] thereto, shall even be cut off[H3772] from his people[H5971].
