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;

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.
26. `And thou hast anointed with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
27. and the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of perfume,
28. and the altar of burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base;
