Exodus 30
30:1And you shall make an altar of incense from out of incorruptible wood.
30:2And you shall make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth -- four-cornered is shall be, and two cubits in height; from out of it will be its horns.
30:3And you shall gild these in pure gold -- its grates, and its walls round about, and its horns. And you shall make for it a twisted gold rim round about.
30:4And two rings of pure gold for it you shall make under its twisted rim for the two corners. You shall make them on two sides, and they will be clips for the staves so as to lift it by them.
30:5And you shall make staves from out of incorruptible wood, and you shall gild them in gold.
30:6And you shall put it before the veil being for the ark of the testimony, in which I shall be made known to you there.
30:7And Aaron will burn incense upon it; incense compounded fine -- in the morning by morning. Whenever he should trim the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
30:8And whenever Aaron should ignite the lamps late, he shall burn incense upon it -- incense of perpetuity, continually before the lord unto your generations.
30:9And you shall not offer upon it another incense. A yield offering, and a sacrifice offering, and a libation offering you shall not offer upon it.
30:10And Aaron shall atone upon its horns once a year. From the blood of the cleansing of sins of the making an atonement once a year he shall cleanse it for your generations; it is a holy of holies to the lord.
30:11And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30:12If you should take the assessment of the sons of Israel in the overseeing of them, then each shall give ransoms for his soul to the lord, and there shall not be among them a failure in the overseeing of them.
30:13And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the numbering -- the half double-drachma, which it shall be according to the double-drachma of the holy place -- twenty oboli to the double-drachma; but the half double-drachma is a contribution to the lord.
30:14Every one passing in the numbering from twenty years old and above shall give the contribution to the lord.
30:15The ones being rich shall not add more, and the ones needing shall not add less from the half of the double-drachma in the giving the contribution to the lord to atone for your souls.
30:16And you shall take the silver of the contribution given by the sons of Israel, and you shall give it for the upkeep of the tent of the testimony. And it will be to the sons of Israel a memorial before the lord, to atone for your souls.
30:17And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30:18Make a bathing tub of brass, and a base for it of brass, so as to wash. And you shall put it between the tent of the testimony, and between the altar. And you shall pour into it water.
30:19And Aaron and his sons shall wash from it their hands and their feet.
30:20Whenever they should enter into the tent of the testimony they shall wash in water, and no way shall they die. Or whenever they should go to the altar to officiate and to offer the whole burnt-offerings to the lord,
30:21they shall wash their hands and their feet in water, that they should not die. And it will be to them an eternal law, to him and his generations after him.
30:22And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30:23And you take spices, the flower of choice myrrh -- five hundred shekels, and sweet smelling cinnamon half of this -- two hundred and fifty, and sweet smelling calamus -- two hundred fifty,
30:24and of oil of cassia -- five hundred shekels of the holy place, and olive oil from olives -- a hin!
30:25And you shall make it a holy scented unguent oil, a perfumed liquid scented by the craft of a perfumer -- it shall be a holy scented unguent oil.
30:26And you shall anoint with it the tent of the testimony, and the ark of the testimony,
30:27and all its utensils, and the lamp-stand, and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
30:28and the altar of the whole burnt-offerings, and all its utensils, and the table, and all its utensils, and the bathing tub, and its base.
30:29And you shall sanctify them. And they shall be a holy of the holies. Every one touching them shall be sanctified.
30:30And Aaron and his sons you shall anoint, and you shall sanctify them to officiate as priests to me.
30:31And to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, An oil of anointing -- a holy anointing this will be to you into your generations.
30:32You shall not anoint with it upon the flesh of man. And concerning this composition, you shall not make any to you yourselves likewise -- it is holy, and it shall be sanctified to you.
30:33Who ever should make likewise, and who ever should give of it to a foreigner, he shall be utterly destroyed from his people.
30:34And the lord said to Moses, Take to yourself spices -- balsam, and onycha, and luscious galbanum, and transparent frankincense, equal to equal it will be.
30:35And they shall make with it scented incense, a work of a perfumer -- a pure holy work being mixed.
30:36And you shall cut of these into fine parts, and you shall put it before the testimony in the tent of the testimony from where I will be known to you from there. It will be to you a holy of the holies incense.
30:37According to this composition you shall not make to you yourselves -- it shall be a sanctified thing to you to the lord.
30:38Who ever should make likewise so as to smell by it, he shall be destroyed from out of his people.
