1 And thou shalt make
an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
2 A cubit shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two
cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be
of the same.
3 And thou shalt overlay it with
pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the
horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
4 And two golden rings shalt thou
make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two
sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for
the staves to bear it withal.
5 And thou shalt make the staves of
shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 And thou shalt put it before the
vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat
that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet
incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense
upon it.
8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps
at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the
LORD throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense
thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour
drink offering thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make an atonement
upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of
atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout
your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.
11 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
12 When thou takest the sum of the
children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a
ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be
no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
13 This they shall give, every one
that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel
of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall
be the offering of the LORD.
14 Every one that passeth among them
that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering
unto the LORD.
15 The rich shall not give more, and
the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an
offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
16 And thou shalt take the atonement
money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of
the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the
children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
17 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also make a laver of
brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou
shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and
thou shalt put water therein.
19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash
their hands and their feet thereat:
20 When they go into the tabernacle
of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or
when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by
fire unto the LORD:
21 So they shall wash their hands
and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to
them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 Moreover the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Take thou also unto thee
principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet
cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels,
and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
24 And of cassia five hundred shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
25 And thou shalt make it an oil of
holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it
shall be an holy anointing oil.
26 And thou shalt anoint the
tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
27 And the table and all his
vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
28 And the altar of burnt offering
with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
29 And thou shalt sanctify them,
that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and
his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in
the priests office.
31 And thou shalt speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me
throughout your generations.
32 Upon mans flesh shall it not
be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the
composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto
you.
33 Whosoever compoundeth any
like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even
be cut off from his people.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these
sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
35 And thou shalt make it a perfume,
a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and
holy:
36 And thou shalt beat some
of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of
the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most
holy.
37 And as for the perfume
which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the
composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
38 Whosoever shall make like unto
that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
