New Testament

Exodus 30:15-28 American Standard Version (ASV)

15. The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.

16. And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.

17. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

18. Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash. And thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.

19. And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:

20. when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

21. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

22. Moreover Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

23. Take thou also unto thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,

24. and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.

25. And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26. And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,

27. and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,

28. and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof.
