1And thou shalt make an altar to burn cense therein, of sethim wood:
2a cubit long, and a cubit broad, even foursquare shall it be and two cubits, high: with horns proceeding out of it,
3and thou shalt overlay it with fine gold both the roof and the walls round about, and his horns also, and shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about,
4and two golden rings on either side, even under the crown, to put staves therein for to bear it withal.
5And thou shalt make the staves of sethim wood and cover them with gold.
6And thou shalt put it before the vail that hangeth before the ark of witness, and before the mercy seat that is before the witness, where I will meet thee.
7And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet cense every morning when he dresseth the lamps:
8and likewise at even when he setteth up the lamps he shall burn cense perpetually before the LORD thorowout your generations.
9Ye shall put no strange cense thereon, neither burnt sacrifice nor meat offering, neither pour any drink offering thereon.
10And Aaron shall reconcile his horns once in a year, with the blood of the sin offering of reconciling: even once in the year shall he reconcile it thorow your generations. And so is it most holy unto the LORD.
11And the LORD spake unto Moses saying:
12when thou takest the sum of the children of Israel and tellest them, they shall give every man a reconciling of his soul unto the LORD, that there be no plague among them when thou tellest them.
13And thus much shall every man give that goeth in the number: half a sicle, after the holy sicle: a sicle is twenty geras: and an half sicle shall be the heave offering unto the LORD.
14And all that are numbered of them that are twenty year old and above shall give an heave offering unto the LORD.
15The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not go under half a sicle, when they give an heave offering unto the LORD for the atonement of their souls.
16And thou shalt take the reconciling money of the children of Israel and shalt put it unto the use of the tabernacle of witness, and it shall be a memorial of the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for their souls.
17And the LORD spake unto Moses saying:
18thou shalt make a laver of brass and his foot also of brass to wash withal, and shalt put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar and put water therein:
19that Aaron and his sons may wash both their hands and their feet thereout,
20when they go into the tabernacle of witness, or when they go unto the altar to minister and to burn the LORD's offering, lest they die.
21And it shall be an ordinance for ever unto him and his seed among your children after you.
22And the LORD spake unto Moses saying:
23take principal spices: of pure myrrh five hundred sicles, of sweet cinnamon half so much, two hundred and fifty sicles:
24of sweet calamite, two hundred and fifty. Of cassia, two hundred and fifty after the holy sicle, and of oil olive an hin.
25And make of them holy anointing oil even an oil compound after the craft of the apothecary.
26And anoint the tabernacle of witness therewith, and the ark of witness,
27and the table with all his apparel, and the candlestick with all his ordinance, and the altar of incense,
28and the altar of burnt sacrifice and all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
29And sacrify them that they may be most holy: so that no man twich them but they that be hallowed.
30And anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to minister unto me.
31And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel saying: this shall be an holy anointing oil unto me, thorowout your generations.
32No man's flesh shall be anointed therewith: neither shall ye make any other after the making of it for it is holy, see therefore that ye take it for holy:
33Whosoever maketh like that, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall perish from among his people.
34And the LORD said unto Moses: take unto thee sweet spices: stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum and pure frankincense, of each like much:
35and make cense of them compounded after the craft of the apothecary, mingled together, that it may be made pure and holy.
36And beat it to powder and put it before the witness in the tabernacle of witness, where I will meet thee, but let it be unto you holy.
37And see that ye make none after the making of that, but let it be unto you holy for the LORD.
38And whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall perish from among his people.
