*
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 .
