And Aaron shall

incense of
sweet
spices:
every morning ,

the lamps ,
he
shall
burn
it
.
When Aaron sets

Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“
When you
take
a
census
of the Israelites
to number
them, each
man must
pay
the
LORD
a ransom for his life
when he
is
counted.
Then
no plague will
come
upon
them when they
are
numbered
.
When thou
takest
the
sum
of the children
of
Israel,
according
to those
that
are
numbered
of
them, then
shall
they
give
every
man a ransom for his soul
unto
Jehovah,
when thou
numberest
them;
that
there
be
no plague among
them ,
when thou
numberest
them
.
Everyone
who
crosses
over to
those
counted
must
pay
a
half shekel ,
according
to
the sanctuary shekel ,
which
weighs
twenty gerahs .
This
half shekel is
an offering to the
LORD
.
This
they
shall
give,
every
one
that
passeth
over unto
them
that
are
numbered,
half a
shekel after
the shekel
of
the
sanctuary ;
(the
shekel is
twenty gerahs ;)
half a
shekel for
an offering to Jehovah
.
Everyone
twenty years of
age
or
older
who
crosses
over
must
give this
offering
to
the LORD
.
Every
one
that
passeth
over
unto
them
that
are
numbered,
from
twenty years old
and
upward,
shall
give the offering
of
Jehovah
.
In
making
the offering
to
the
LORD
to
atone
for
your
lives,
the
rich shall not give more than
a
half
shekel
, nor
shall
the poor give less.
The rich shall not give more, and
the poor shall
not
give less ,
than
the
half
shekel,
when
they
give
the
offering
of
Jehovah,
to
make
atonement
for
your
souls
.
Take the atonement money from the Israelites
and use
it for the service of the Tent of Meeting .
It will
serve
as
a memorial for the Israelites
before the
LORD
to make atonement for your lives
. ”
And
thou
shalt
take the atonement money from the children
of
Israel,
and shalt
appoint
it for the service of the tent of meeting ;
that
it may
be
a memorial for the children
of
Israel
before Jehovah,
to make atonement for your souls
.
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“You
are
to
make a bronze
basin
with
a
bronze
stand
for
washing
. Set
it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in
it,
Thou
shalt
also
make a laver
of
brass,
and
the
base
thereof
of
brass,
whereat
to
wash
. And
thou
shalt
put
it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou
shalt
put water therein.
with
which
Aaron and his sons are
to
wash their hands and feet .
And
Aaron and his sons shall
wash their hands and their
feet thereat:
Whenever
they enter
the Tent of Meeting or approach
the altar to minister by
presenting
an offering made by fire to
the
LORD,
they
must
wash
with
water
so
that
they
will
not
die
.
when
they go
into
the tent of meeting ,
they
shall
wash
with
water,
that
they
die
not;
or when
they
come
near
to
the altar to minister ,
to
burn
an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah
.
Thus
they are
to
wash their hands and feet so
that they will
not
die ;
this
shall be a permanent
statute for Aaron
and his descendants
for
the
generations to
come
. ”
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.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Moreover
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“
Take the finest
spices: 500
shekels
of liquid
myrrh ,
half
that
amount
(250
shekels )
of fragrant
cinnamon, 250
shekels
of fragrant
cane
,
Take thou
also
unto
thee
the chief
spices: of flowing
myrrh five
hundred
`
shekels ',
and
of sweet
cinnamon half
so
much
, even
two
hundred
and
fifty,
and
of sweet
calamus
two
hundred
and
fifty
,
500
shekels
of cassia —all
according
to
the sanctuary
shekel —
and a
hin
of olive oil.
and
of cassia five
hundred,
after
the shekel of
the
sanctuary,
and of olive oil a
hin
.
Prepare
from
these
a sacred
anointing oil, a fragrant
blend,
the work
of a
perfumer ;
it will
be a sacred
anointing oil.
And
thou
shalt
make
it
a holy
anointing oil, a perfume
compounded
after
the art
of the
perfumer :
it shall
be a holy
anointing oil.
Use
this
oil
to
anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,
And
thou
shalt
anoint therewith
the tent of meeting, and
the ark of the testimony,
the table and all its
utensils
, the lampstand
and its
utensils
, the altar of incense,
and
the table and all the
vessels
thereof
, and
the candlestick
and the
vessels
thereof
, and
the altar of incense,
the altar of burnt offering and
all its
utensils
, and the basin
with
its
stand
.
and
the altar of burnt -
offering with
all the
vessels
thereof
, and the laver
and
the
base
thereof
.
You
are
to
consecrate
them so
that they will
be most holy .
Whatever
touches
them shall be holy.
And
thou
shalt
sanctify
them ,
that they may
be most holy :
whatsoever
toucheth
them shall be holy.
Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate
them to
serve
Me as
priests
.
And
thou
shalt
anoint Aaron and his sons ,
and sanctify
them ,
that
they
may
minister
unto
me in
the
priest's
office
.
And you
are
to
tell
the Israelites
, ‘
This will
be My
sacred
anointing oil for
the
generations to
come
.
And thou
shalt
speak
unto
the children
of
Israel
, saying,
This shall
be a
holy
anointing oil unto
me
throughout
your
generations.
It must
not be used
to
anoint
an
ordinary
man
, and
you
must
not
make anything
like it with
the same
formula.
It is holy, and it must
be holy to
you.
Upon
the
flesh
of
man
shall
it not be poured
, neither
shall
ye
make any
like it ,
according
to
the composition
thereof:
it is holy, `
and '
it shall
be holy unto
you.
Anyone
who
mixes
perfume
like it or puts
it on
an
outsider
shall be cut off from his people. ’”
Whosoever
compoundeth
any
like it ,
or whosoever
putteth
any
of
it upon
a
stranger,
he
shall be cut off from his people.
The
LORD
also
said to
Moses, “
Take fragrant
spices —gum
resin
, onycha
, galbanum
, and pure frankincense —in
equal
measures,
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Take unto
thee
sweet
spices, stacte
, and
onycha
, and galbanum;
sweet
spices
with
pure frankincense :
of
each
shall
there
be
a
like
weight;
and make a
fragrant
blend
of incense, the work
of a
perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy .
and thou
shalt
make of it
incense, a
perfume
after
the art
of the
perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure `
and '
holy :
Grind
some of it into
fine
powder
and place
it
in
front
of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you.
It shall be most holy to
you
.
and
thou
shalt
beat
some of it very
small,
and put
of it
before
the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee:
it shall be unto
you
most holy.
You
are
never
to
use
this
formula
to make incense
for yourselves ;
you
shall
regard
it as
holy to
the
LORD
.
And
the
incense
which
thou
shalt
make,
according
to the
composition
thereof
ye
shall
not
make for yourselves :
it shall
be
unto
thee
holy for
Jehovah
.
Anyone
who
makes
something
like it
to enjoy
its
fragrance
shall be cut off from his people. ”
Whosoever
shall
make
like unto
that,
to smell
thereof,
he
shall be cut off from his people.
