30:1 And thou shalt make the altar of
incense of incorruptible wood.
30:2 And thou shalt make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth: it
shall be square; and the height of it shall be of two cubits, its horns
shall be of the same piece.
30:3 And thou shalt gild its grate with pure gold, and its sides round
about, and its horns; and thou shalt make for it a wreathen border of gold
round-about.

thou shalt make it to the two corners on the two sides, and they shall be
bearings for the staves, so as to bear it with them.

upon it; a constant incense-offering always before the Lord for their
generations.
30:9 And thou shalt not offer strange incense upon it, [nor] and offering
made by fire, [nor] a sacrifice; and thou shalt not pour a drink-offering
upon it.
30:10 And once in the year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns, he shall
purge it with the blood of purification for their generations: it is most
holy to the Lord.
30:11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30:12 If thou take account of the children of Israel in the surveying of
them, and they shall give every one a ransom for his soul to the Lord, then
there shall not be among them a destruction in the visiting of them.
30:13 Ad this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a
didrachm which is according to the didrachm of the sanctuary: twenty oboli
[go to] the didrachm, but the half of the didrachm is the offering to the
Lord.
30:14 Every one that passes the survey from twenty years old and upwards
shall give the offering to the Lord.
30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than
the half didrachm in giving the offering to the Lord, to make atonement for
your souls.

Israel, and shalt give it for the service of the tabernacle of testimony;
and it shall be to the children of Israel a memorial before the Lord, to
make atonement for your souls.
30:17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

shalt put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar, and thou shalt
pour forth water into it.

water from it.
30:20 Whensoever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness, they shall
wash themselves with water, so they shall not die, whensoever they advance
to the altar to do service and to offer the whole burnt-offerings to the
Lord.
30:21 They shall wash their hands and feet with water, whensoever they shall
go into the tabernacle of witness; they shall wash themselves with water,
that they die not; and it shall be for them a perpetual statute, for him and
his posterity after him.
30:22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30:23 Do thou also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred
shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of
sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling
calamus,
30:24 and of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of
olive oil.
30:25 And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment
[tempered] by the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
30:26 And thou shalt anoint with it the tabernacle of witness, and the ark
of the tabernacle of witness,
30:27 and all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and
the altar of incense,
30:28 and the altar of whole burnt-offerings and all its furniture, and the
table and all its furniture, and the laver.

that touches them shall be hallowed.

to you a holy anointing oil throughout your generations.
30:32 On man's flesh it shall not be poured, and ye shall not make [any] for
yourselves according to this composition: it is holy, and shall be holiness
to you.
30:33 Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whosoever shall give of it
to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among his people.
30:34 And the Lord said to Moses, Take for thyself sweet herbs, stacte,
onycha, sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense; there shall be and
equal weight of each.
30:35 And they shall make with it perfumed incense, tempered with the art of
a perfumer, a pure holy work.
30:36 And of these thou shalt beat some small, and thou shalt put it before
the testimonies in the tabernacle of testimony, whence I will make myself
known to thee: it shall be to you a most holy incense.
30:37 Ye shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition; it
shall be to you a holy thing for the Lord.
30:38 Whosoever shall make any in like manner, so as to smell it, shall
perish from his people. |
30:1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn
incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
30:2 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.
30:3 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.
30:4 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.
30:5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold.
30:6 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.
30:7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he
dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
30:8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon
it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
30:9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor
meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
30:10 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.
30:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
30:12 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.
30:13 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.
30:14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years
old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
30:15 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.
30:16 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.
30:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
30:18 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.
30:19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
30:20 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:
30:21 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.
30:22 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
30:23 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,
30:24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary,
and of oil olive an hin:
30:25 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.
30:26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith,
and the ark of the testimony,
30:27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his
vessels, and the altar of incense,
30:28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver
and his foot.
30:29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever
toucheth them shall be holy.
30:30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that
they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
30:31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall
be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
30:32 Upon man's 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.
30:33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon
a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
30:34 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:
30:35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the
apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
30:36 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.
30:37 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.
30:38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be
cut off from his people. |
