13. They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are counted, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs); half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.
14. Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.
15. The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.
16. You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.”
17. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18. “You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19. Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.
20. When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
21. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”
22. Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23. “Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
24. and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.
25. You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26. You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,
27. the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense,
28. the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.
