[1] "You shall make an altar to burn incense upon; of acacia wood shall you
make it. [2] A 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. [3] And 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. [4] And 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. [5] You shall make the poles of
acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. [6] And 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. [7] And Aaron shall burn
fragrant incense on it; every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall
burn it, [8] and when Aaron sets up the lamps in the evening, he shall burn
it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. [9]
You shall offer no unholy incense thereon, nor burnt offering, nor cereal
offering; and you shall pour no libation thereon. [10] Aaron 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." [11] 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. [13] Each 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. [14] Every one who is numbered in the census, from twenty years
old and upward, shall give the LORD's offering. [15] The 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. [16] And 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." [17] The LORD said to Moses, [18] "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,
[19] with which Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.
[20] When 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. [21] They 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." [22] 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, [24] and of cassia
five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a
hin; [25] and you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by
the perfumer; a holy anointing oil it shall be. [26] And you shall anoint
with it the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, [27] and the
table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the
altar of incense, [28] and the altar of burnt offering with all its
utensils and the laver and its base; [29] you shall consecrate them, that
they may be most holy; whatever touches them will become holy. [30] And you
shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve
me as priests. [31] And you shall say to the people of Israel, `This shall
be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. [32] It 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. [33] Whoever
compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut
off from his people.'" [34] And 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), [35] and make an incense blended as by
the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy; [36] and 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. [37]
And 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. [38]
Whoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his
people."
