Exodus 30:7-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.

8. “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – a continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations.

9. “Do not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it.

10. “And Aharon shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement – once a year he makes atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most set-apart to יהוה.”

11. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

12. “When you take the census of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to register them, then each one shall give an atonement for his life to יהוה, when you register them, so that there is no plague among them when you register them.

13. “Everyone among those who are registered is to give this: half a sheqel according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, twenty gĕrahs being a sheqel. The half-sheqel is the contribution to יהוה.

14. “Everyone passing over to be registered, from twenty years old and above, gives a contribution to יהוה.

15. “The rich does not give more and the poor does not give less than half a sheqel, when you give a contribution to יהוה, to make atonement for yourselves.

16. “And you shall take the silver for the atonement from the children of Yisra’ĕl, and give it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. And it shall be to the children of Yisra’ĕl for a remembrance before יהוה, to make atonement for yourselves.”

17. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

18. “And you shall make a basin of bronze, with its stand also of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it.
