Exodus 30:13-24

13Each person that you count must give six grams of silver. That is the proper weight that they use in the tabernacle. The silver is an offering to the Lord.

14You must count every person who is 20 years old or more. Each person must offer his gift to the Lord.

15Rich people must not give more than six grams of silver. Poor people must not give less than that. That is the offering that you must each give to the Lord. It is the price that everyone must pay for his life.

16Receive these silver coins from the Israelites. Use the money to take care of the Tent of Meeting. Then the Lord will always remember that you belong to him. You have paid money for your lives.’

17Then the Lord said to Moses,

18‘Use bronze to make a large bowl for water. Also use bronze to make a base for it to stand on. Put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar. Fill it with water.

19Aaron and his sons must use the water from the bowl to wash their hands and their feet.

20Every time they go into the Tent of Meeting, they must wash in the same way. Then they will not die. They must also wash before they go to the altar to make a burnt offering to the Lord.

21If they wash their hands and their feet, they will not die as they serve me. This will always be a rule for Aaron and for his descendants, the priests.’

22Then the Lord said to Moses,

23‘Mix together these special spices: 6 kilograms of pure myrrh, 3 kilograms of sweet cinnamon, 3 kilograms of sweet grasses,

246 kilograms of cassia, and 4 litres of olive oil.
