And thou shalt make an altar
to burn
incense
upon: of shittim
wood
shalt thou make
it.
A cubit shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit
the breadth
thereof; foursquare
shall it be: and two cubits
shall be the height
thereof: the horns
thereof shall be of the same.
And thou shalt overlay it with pure
gold
, the top
thereof, and the sides
thereof round about
, and the horns
thereof; and thou shalt make
unto it a crown
of gold
round about
.
And two golden
rings
shalt thou make
to it under the crown
of it, by the two
corners
thereof, upon the two
sides
of it shalt thou make
it ; and they shall be for places
for the staves
to bear
it withal
.
And thou shalt make the staves
of shittim
wood
, and overlay
them with gold
.
And thou shalt put it before
the vail
that is by the ark
of the testimony
, before
the mercy seat
that is over the testimony
, where I will meet
with thee.
And Aaron shall burn
thereon sweet
incense
every morning
: when he dresseth
the lamps
, he shall burn incense
upon it.
And when Aaron lighteth
the lamps
at even
, he shall burn incense
upon it, a perpetual
incense
before
the LORD
throughout your generations
.
Ye shall offer no strange
incense
thereon, nor burnt sacrifice
, nor meat offering
; neither shall ye pour
drink offering
thereon.
And Aaron shall make an atonement
upon the horns
of it once
in a year
with the blood
of the sin offering
of atonements
: once
in the year
shall he make atonement
upon it throughout your generations
: it is most
holy
unto the LORD
.
And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
When thou takest the sum
of the children
of Israel
after their number
, then shall they give
every man
a ransom
for his soul
unto the LORD
, when thou numberest
them; that there be no plague
among them, when thou numberest
them.
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
:) an half
shekel
shall be the offering
of the LORD
.
Every one that passeth among them that are numbered
, from twenty
years
old
and above
, shall give
an offering
unto the LORD
.
The rich shall not give more
, and the poor
shall not give less
than half
a shekel
, when they give
an offering
unto the LORD
, to make an atonement
for your souls
.
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
unto the children
of Israel
before
the LORD
, to make an atonement
for your souls
.
And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
Thou shalt also make a laver
of brass
, and his foot
also of brass
, to wash
withal : and thou shalt put
it between the tabernacle
of the congregation
and the altar
, and thou shalt put
water
therein.
For Aaron and his sons
shall wash
their hands
and their feet
thereat:
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
unto the LORD
:
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
.
Moreover the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
Take thou also unto thee principal
spices
, of pure
myrrh
five
hundred
shekels , and of sweet
cinnamon
half
so much
, even two hundred
and fifty
shekels , and of sweet
calamus
two hundred
and fifty
shekels ,
And of cassia five
hundred
shekels , after the shekel
of the sanctuary
, and of oil
olive
an hin
:
And thou shalt make it an oil
of holy
ointment
, an ointment
compound
after the art
of the apothecary
: it shall be an holy
anointing
oil
.
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle
of the congregation
therewith, and the ark
of the testimony
,
And the table and all his vessels
, and the candlestick
and his vessels
, and the altar
of incense
,
And the altar of burnt offering
with all his vessels
, and the laver
and his foot
.
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most
holy
: whatsoever toucheth
them shall be holy
.
And thou shalt anoint Aaron
and his sons
, and consecrate
them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office
.
And thou shalt speak unto the children
of Israel
, saying
, This shall be an holy
anointing
oil
unto me throughout your generations
.
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
unto you.
Whosoever compoundeth
any like it, or whosoever putteth
any of it upon a stranger
, shall even be cut
off from his people
.
And the LORD said
unto Moses
, Take
unto thee sweet spices
, stacte
, and onycha
, and galbanum
; these sweet
spices
with pure
frankincense
: of each
shall there be a like
weight :
And thou shalt make it a perfume
, a confection
after the art
of the apothecary
, tempered
together, pure
and holy
:
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 unto you most
holy
.
And as for the perfume which thou shalt make
, ye shall not make
to yourselves according to the composition
thereof: it shall be unto thee holy
for the LORD
.
Whosoever shall make
like unto that, to smell
thereto, shall even be cut off
from his people
.
