13. This they will give, everyone who is counted, the half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs per shekel. The half shekel is a contribution for Yahweh.
14. Everyone who is counted from twenty years old and above will give the contribution of Yahweh.
15. The rich will not give more, and the poor will not give less than the half shekel to give the contribution of Yahweh to make atonement for their lives.
16. And you will take the atonement money from the Israelites and give it to the service of the tent of assembly, and it will be as a memorial for the Israelites before Yahweh to make atonement for your lives.”
17. And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18. “And you will make a basin of bronze and its bronze stand for washing, and you will put it between the tent of assembly and the altar, and you will put water there.
19. And Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and their feet with it.
20. When they come to the tent of assembly, they will wash with water so that they do not die, or when they approach the altar to serve by turning to smoke an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
21. And they will wash their hands and their feet so that they do not die, and it will be a lasting rule for them—to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.
22. And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23. “And take for yourself top quality balsam oils, five hundred shekels of flowing myrrh, half as much—two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant reed,
24. and five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the sanctuary shekel, and a hin of olive oil.
25. And you will make it into holy anointing oil, a spice blend of a fragrant ointment the work of a perfumer; it will be holy anointing oil.
26. And you will anoint with it the tent of assembly and the ark of the testimony,
27. and the table and all its equipment and the lampstand and its equipment and the incense altar,
28. and the altar of burnt offering and all its equipment and the basin and its stand.
