It is most holy to the LORD."H175H3722H7161H259H8141H1818H2403H3725H259H8141H3722H1755H6944H6944H3068

The Census Tax

11The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55912"When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for his life to the LORD when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them.H5375H7218H1121H3478H6485H5414H376H3724H5315H3068H6485H5063H648513Each one 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.H5414H5674H5921H6485H4276H8255H8255H6944H8255H6242H1626H4276H8255H8641H306814Everyone who is numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the LORD's offering.H5674H6485H6242H8141H1121H4605H5414H8641H306815The 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 your lives.H6223H7235H1800H4591H4276H8255H5414H8641H3068H3722H531516You shall take the atonement money from the people of Israel and shall give 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 your lives."H3947H3725H3701H1121H3478H5414H5656H168H4150H2146H1121H3478H6440H3068H3722H5315

The Bronze Basin

17The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55918"You shall also make a basin of bronze, with its stand of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it,H6213H3595H5178H3653H5178H7364H5414H168H4150H4196H5414H432519with which Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.H175H1121H7364H3027H727220When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn a food offering to the LORD, they shall wash with water, so that they may not die.H935H168H4150H7364H4325H4191H5066H4196H8334H6999H801H306821They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die. It shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his offspring throughout their generations."H7364H3027H7272H4191H2706H5769H2233H1755

The Anointing Oil and Incense

22The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55923"Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, 250, and 250 of aromatic cane,H3947H7218H1314H1865H4753H2568H3967H1314H7076H4276H4276H3967H2572H1314H7070H3967H257224and 500 of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.H6916H2568H3967H8255H6944H8081H2132H196925And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.H6213H8081H6944H4888H7545H4842H4639H7543H6944H4888H808126With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony,H4886H168H4150H727H571527and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,H7979H3627H4501H3627H4196H700428and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the basin and its stand.H4196H5930H3627H3595H365329You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.H6942H6944H6944H5060H694230You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.H4886H175H1121H6942H354731And you shall say to the people of Israel, 'This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations.H1696H1121H3478H559H6944H4888H8081H175532It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.H120H1320H3251H6213H4971H6944H694433Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.'"H834H376H7543H5414H2114H3772H597134The 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),H3068H559H4872H3947H5561H5198H7827H2464H5561H5561H2134H3828H905H90535and make an incense blended as by the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.H6213H7004H7545H4639H7543H4414H2889H694436You 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 most holy for you.H7833H1854H5414H6440H5715H168H4150H3259H6944H694437And the incense that you shall make according to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves. It shall be for you holy to the LORD.H7004H6213H6213H4971H6944H306838Whoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people."H834H376H6213H7306H3772H5971
