*
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 ma #
al #,
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 Yisra #
el #,
and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #;
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 :
