“You are also to make an altar of acacia wood for the burning of incense.
`And thou hast made an altar ` for ' making perfume; ` of ' shittim wood thou dost make it;
It is to be square, a cubit long , a cubit wide , and two cubits high. Its horns must be of one piece .
a cubit its length , and a cubit its breadth , (it is square), and two cubits its height; its horns `are' of the same .
Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns , and make a molding of gold around it.
`And thou hast overlaid it with pure gold , its top , and its sides round about, and its horns ; and thou hast made to it a crown of gold round about;
And make two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.
and two rings of gold thou dost make to it under its crown; on its two ribs thou dost make `them', on its two sides , and they have become places for staves, to bear it with them .
Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold .
`And thou hast made the staves of shittim wood , and hast overlaid them with gold ;
Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony —where I will meet with you .

And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps .
` And Aaron hath made perfume on it , perfume of spices, morning by morning; in his making the lamps right he doth perfume it,
When Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight , he must burn the incense perpetually before the LORD for the generations to come .
and in Aaron's causing the lamps to go up between the evenings , he doth perfume it; a continual perfume before Jehovah to your generations .
On this altar you must not offer unauthorized incense or a burnt offering or grain offering ; nor are you to pour a drink offering on it .
`Ye do not cause strange perfume to go up upon it, and burnt - offering , and present, and libation ye do not pour out on it ;
Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering of atonement . The altar is most holy to the LORD .

Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 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.
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 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;
Everyone twenty years of age or older who crosses over must give this offering to the LORD.
every one passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, doth give the heave-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 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 .
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 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 . '
And the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh 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,
`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;
with which Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet .
and Aaron and his sons have washed at it their hands and their feet ,
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.
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 ,
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 .
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 . '
Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 ,
`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;
500 shekels of cassia —all according to the sanctuary shekel —and a hin of olive oil .
and cassia five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary, and 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 hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture , work of a compounder ; it is a holy anointing oil.
Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,
`And thou hast anointed with it 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 its vessels , and the candlestick and its vessels , and the altar of perfume ,
the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils , and the basin with its stand.
and the altar of burnt - offering and all its vessels , and the laver and its base;
You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy . Whatever touches them shall be holy .
and thou hast sanctified them , and they have been most holy ; all that is coming against them is holy ;
Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests .
and Aaron and his sons thou dost anoint, and hast sanctified them for being priests to Me.
And you are to tell the Israelites , ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.
` And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak , saying, A holy anointing oil is this to Me, to 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 .
on flesh of man it is not poured , and with its proper proportion ye make none like it ; it ` is ' holy ; it is holy to you ;
Anyone who mixes perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people. ’”
a man who compoundeth `any' like it , or who putteth of it on a stranger -- hath even been 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 saith unto Moses, ` Take to thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense ; they are part for part;
and make a fragrant blend of incense , the work of a perfumer , seasoned with salt , pure and holy .
and thou hast made it a perfume , a compound, work of a compounder , salted , pure , 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 hast beaten ` some ' of it small, and hast put of it before the testimony , in the tent of meeting, whither I am met with thee; most holy it is to you.
You are never to use this formula to make incense for yourselves ; you shall regard it as holy to the LORD.
`As to the perfume which thou makest, with its proper proportion ye do not make to yourselves , holy it is to thee to Jehovah;
Anyone who makes something like it to enjoy its fragrance shall be cut off from his people.
a man who maketh `any' like it -- to be refreshed by it -- hath even been cut off from his people. '
