11. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
12. `When thou takest up the sum of the sons of Israel for their numbers, then they have given each an atonement [for] his soul to Jehovah in their being numbered, and there is no plague among them in their being numbered.
13. `This they do give, every one passing over unto those numbered, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs); half a shekel [is] the heave-offering to Jehovah;
14. every one passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, doth give the heave-offering of Jehovah;
15. the rich doth not multiply, and the poor doth not diminish from the half-shekel, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
16. `And thou hast taken the atonement-money from the sons of Israel, and hast given it for the service of the tent of meeting; and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a memorial before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.'
17. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
18. `And thou hast made a laver of brass (and its base of brass), for washing; and thou hast put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there;
19. and Aaron and his sons have washed at it their hands and their feet,
20. in their going in unto the tent of meeting they wash [with] water, and die not; or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister, to perfume a fire-offering to Jehovah,
21. then they have washed their hands and their feet, and they die not, and it hath been to them a statute age-during, to him and to his seed to their generations.'
22. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23. `And thou, take to thyself principal spices, wild honey five hundred [shekels]; and spice-cinnamon, the half of that, two hundred and fifty; and spice-cane two hundred and fifty;
24. and cassia five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary, and olive oil a hin;
25. and thou hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil.
