Exodus 30

CHAPTER 30
1Also thou shalt make an altar of the wood of shittim, for to burn incense;
2and the altar shall have a cubit of length, and another cubit of breadth, that is four-cornered, and two cubits in height; and the corners [or horns] shall come forth of the altar.
3And thou shalt clothe it with cleanest gold, as well the roof thereof, that is, the higher part, as the walls, and [the] corners by compass thereof; and thou shalt make to the altar a little golden crown by compass,
4and two golden circles under the crown by all sides, that bars be put into those rings, and so the altar be borne.
5Also thou shalt make the bars of the wood of shittim, and thou shalt overgild them;
6and thou shalt set the altar against the veil, that hangeth before the ark of witnessing, before the propitiatory, with which the witnessing is covered, where I shall speak to thee.
7And Aaron shall burn thereon incense smelling sweetly early; when he shall array the lanterns, he shall burn it;
8and when he setteth the lanterns at eventide, he shall burn everlasting incense before the Lord, into your generations.
9Ye shall not offer thereon incense of other making, neither offering, nor slain sacrifice, neither ye shall offer flowing offerings thereon.
10And Aaron shall pray on the horns thereof once by the year, in the blood which is offered for sin, and he shall please the Lord thereon in your generations; it shall be the holy of holy things to the Lord.
11And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
12When thou shalt take the sum of the sons of Israel, all by themselves shall give by the number price for their souls to the Lord, and vengeance shall not be in them, when they be numbered.
13Soothly each that passeth to the named, that is, of twenty years, shall give this price, half a shekel by the measure of the temple; a shekel hath twenty half-pence; the half part of a shekel shall be offered to the Lord.
14He that is had in the number, from twenty years and above, shall give this price;
15a rich man shall not add to the half of a shekel, and a poor man shall nothing abate.
16And thou shalt betake into the uses of the tabernacle of witnessing the money taken, which is gathered of the sons of Israel, that it be a mind of them before the Lord, and he shall be merciful to their souls.
17And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
18Also thou shalt make a great vessel of brass with his foundament to wash in, and thou shalt set it betwixt the tabernacle of witnessing and the altar; and when water is put therein,
19Aaron and his sons shall wash therein their hands and their feet,
20when they shall enter into the tabernacle of witnessing, and when they shall nigh to the altar, that they offer therein incense to the Lord, lest peradventure they die;
21it shall be a lawful thing everlasting to him and to his seed by successions.
22And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
23Take to thee sweet smelling spiceries, of the first and chosen myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of canel the half, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels; [and] in like manner of calamus, that is, a sweet smelling tree, small and full of knots, two hundred and fifty shekels;
24also of cassia five hundred shekels, in the weight of [the] saintuary; the oil of olives trees, the measure of hin;
25and thou shalt make the holy oil of anointing, an ointment made by the craft of an ointment maker.
26And thou shalt anoint thereof the tabernacle of witnessing, and the ark of the testament,
27and the board with his vessels, [and] the candlestick, and the appur-tenances thereof, the altars of incense,
28and of burnt sacrifice, and all the appurtenance, that pertaineth to the adorning of those things.
29And thou shalt hallow all things, and they shall be the holy of holy things; he that shall touch those [or them], shall be hallowed beforehand.
30Thou shalt anoint Aaron, and his sons, and thou shalt hallow them, that they be set in priesthood to me.
31And thou shalt say to the sons of Israel, This oil of anointing shall be holy to me into your generations.
32The flesh of a man shall not be anointed thereof, and by the making thereof ye shall not make another such oil, for it is hallowed, and it shall be holy to you.
33Whatever man maketh such oil, and giveth thereof to an alien, he shall be put out of his people.
34Forsooth the Lord said to Moses, Take to thee sweet smelling spiceries, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of good odour, and most pure frankincense, all these shall be of even weight.
35And thou shalt make incense, made by the craft of an ointment maker, meddled [or mingled] together diligently, and pure, and most worthy of hallowing.
36And when thou hast pounded all these things into smallest powder, thou shalt put thereof before the tabernacle of witnessing, in which place I shall appear to thee; the made incense shall be to you the holy of holy things.
37Ye shall not make such a making into your [own] uses, for it is holy to the Lord.
38Whatever man maketh like thing to it, that he use the odour thereof, he shall perish from his people.

Ex 37.25-29. “You shall make an altar to burn incense upon; of acacia wood shall you make it. 2A cubit shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth; it shall be square, and two cubits shall be its height; its horns shall be of one piece with it. 3And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about and its horns; and you shall make for it a molding of gold round about. 4And two golden rings shall you make for it; under its molding on two opposite sides of it shall you make them, and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it. 5You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 6And you shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you. 7And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it, 8and when Aaron sets up the lamps in the evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. 9You shall offer no unholy incense thereon, nor burnt offering, nor cereal offering; and you shall pour no libation thereon. 10Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations; it is most holy to the Lord.”

Ex 38.25,26. The Lord said to Moses, 12“When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them. 13Each who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as an offering to the Lord. 14Every one who is numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the Lord's offering. 15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when you give the Lord's offering to make atonement for yourselves. 16And you shall take the atonement money from the people of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may bring the people of Israel to remembrance before the Lord, so as to make atonement for yourselves.”
17The Lord said to Moses, 18#Ex 38.8. “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it, 19with which Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet. 20When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. 21They shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die: it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”

Ex 37.29. Moreover, the Lord said to Moses, 23“Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty, and of aromatic cane two hundred and fifty, 24and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin; 25and you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; a holy anointing oil it shall be. 26And you shall anoint with it the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, 27and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, 28and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the laver and its base; 29you shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them will become holy. 30And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests. 31And you shall say to the people of Israel, ‘This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. 32It shall not be poured upon the bodies of ordinary men, and you shall make no other like it in composition; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
34And the Lord said to Moses, “Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part), 35and make an incense blended as by the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy; 36and you shall beat some of it very small, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting where I shall meet with you; it shall be for you most holy. 37And the incense which you shall make according to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves; it shall be for you holy to the Lord. 38Whoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people.”
