Exodus 30:10-16

10However, Aaron shall 1make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”

11The Lord also spoke to Moses, saying, 12“When you take 2a 3census of the sons of Israel 4to count them, then each one of them shall give 5a ransom for 6himself to the Lord, when you 7count them, so that there will be no plague among them when you 8count them. 13This is what everyone who 9is counted shall give: half a 10shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (11the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a 12contribution to the Lord. 14Everyone who 13is counted, from twenty years old and over, shall give the 14contribution to the Lord. 15The rich shall not pay more, and the poor shall not pay less, than the half shekel, when you give the 15contribution to the Lord to make atonement for 16yourselves. 16And you shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel and give it for the service of the tent of meeting, so that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for 17yourselves.”
