Exodus 30
Revised Version 1895
1And thou shalt makeH6213 an altarH4196 to burn incenseH7004 upon: of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 shalt thou makeH6213 it. 2A cubitH520 shall be the lengthH753 thereof, and a cubitH520 the breadthH7341 thereof; foursquare shall it be: and twoH4480 cubitsH520 shall be the heightH6967 thereof: the hornsH7161 thereof shall be of one piece with it. 3And thou shalt overlayH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091, the topH1406 thereof, and the sidesH5439 thereof roundH5439 aboutH5439, and the hornsH7161 thereof; and thou shalt makeH6213 unto it a crown of goldH2091 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 4And twoH8147 goldenH2091 ringsH2885 shalt thou makeH6213 for it underH8478 the crown thereof, uponH5921 the twoH8147 ribsH6763 thereof, uponH5921 the twoH8147 sidesH6654 of it shalt thou makeH6213 them; and they shall be for placesH1004 for staves to bearH5375 it withal. 5And thou shalt makeH6213 the staves of acaciaH7848 woodH6086, and overlayH6823 them with goldH2091. 6And thou shalt putH5414 it beforeH6440 the veilH6532 that is by the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, beforeH6440 the mercy-seat that is over the testimonyH5715, whereH834 I will meetH3259 with thee. 7And AaronH175 shall burnH6999 thereonH5921 incenseH7004 of sweetH5561 spicesH5561: everyH1242 morningH1242, when he dresseth the lampsH5216, he shall burnH6999 it. 8And when AaronH175 lighteth the lampsH5216 at evenH853, he shall burnH6999 it, a perpetualH8548 incenseH7004 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 throughoutH1755 your generationsH1755. 9Ye shall offerH5927 noH3808 strangeH2114 incenseH7004 thereonH5921, norH3808 burntH5930 offering, norH3808 mealH4503 offering; and ye shall pourH5258 noH3808 drink offering thereonH5921. 10And AaronH175 shall make atonementH3725 uponH5921 the hornsH7161 of it onceH259 in the yearH8141: with the bloodH1818 of the sinH2403 offering of atonementH3725 onceH259 in the yearH8141 shall he make atonementH3725 for it throughoutH1755 your generationsH1755: it is mostH6944 holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068. 11And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12When thou takest the sumH7218 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, accordingH376 to thoseH376 that are numberedH6485 of them, then shall they giveH5414 everyH376 manH376 a ransomH3724 for his soulH5315 unto the LORDH3068, when thou numberest them; that there be noH3808 plagueH5063 among them, when thou numberest them. 13This they shall giveH5414, everyH3605 one that passeth over unto them that are numberedH6485, halfH4276 a shekelH8255 afterH5921 the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944: (the shekelH8255 is twentyH6242 gerahsH1626:) halfH4276 a shekelH8255 for an offering to the LORDH3068. 14EveryH3605 one that passeth over unto them that are numberedH6485, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, shall giveH5414 the offering of the LORDH3068. 15The richH6223 shall notH3808 giveH5414 moreH3808, and the poorH1800 shall notH3808 giveH5414 lessH4591, thanH3808 the halfH4276 shekelH8255, when they giveH5414 the offering of the LORDH3068, to makeH5414 atonementH3722 for your soulsH5315. 16And thou shalt takeH3947 the atonementH3722 moneyH3701 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and shalt appointH5414 it for the serviceH5656 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150; that it may be a memorialH2146 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to makeH5414 atonementH3722 for your soulsH5315. 17And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 18Thou shalt also makeH5414 a laverH3595 of brassH5178, and the baseH3653 thereof of brassH5178, to washH7364 withal: and thou shalt putH5414 it betweenH996 the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and the altarH4196, and thou shalt putH5414 waterH4325 therein. 19And AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall washH7364 their handsH3027 and their feetH7272 thereat: 20when they goH935 intoH413 the tentH168 of meetingH4150, they shall washH7364 with waterH4325, that they dieH4191 notH3808; or when they comeH935 nearH5066 to the altarH4196 to ministerH8334, to burnH6999 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068: 21soH1961 they shall washH7364 their handsH3027 and their feetH7272, that they dieH4191 notH3808: and it shall be a statuteH2706 for everH5769 to them, evenH3808 to him and to his seedH2233 throughoutH1755 their generationsH1755. 22MoreoverH1696 the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 23TakeH3947 thou also unto thee the chiefH7218 spicesH1314, of flowingH1865 myrrhH4753 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 shekels, and of sweetH7070 cinnamonH7076 halfH4276 soH3947 muchH4276, even twoH3947 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and of sweetH7070 calamusH7070 twoH3947 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, 24and of cassiaH6916 fiveH2568 hundredH3967, after the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944, and of oliveH2132 oilH8081 an hinH1969: 25and thou shalt makeH6213 it an holyH6944 anointingH4888 oilH8081, a perfumeH7545 compounded afterH1961 the artH4639 of the perfumerH7543: it shall be an holyH6944 anointingH4888 oilH8081. 26And thou shalt anointH4886 therewith the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, 27and the tableH7979 and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 thereof, and the candlestick and the vesselsH3627 thereof, and the altarH4196 of incenseH7004, 28and the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offering with allH3605 the vesselsH3627 thereof, and the laverH3595 and the baseH3653 thereof. 29And thou shalt sanctifyH6942 them, that they may be mostH6944 holyH6944: whatsoeverH3605 toucheth them shall be holyH6944. 30And thou shalt anointH4886 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121, and sanctifyH6942 them, that they may ministerH3547 unto meH4886 in the priest’s office. 31And thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, This shall be an holyH6944 anointingH4888 oilH8081 unto meH413 throughoutH1755 your generationsH1755. 32UponH5921 the fleshH1320 of manH120 shall it notH3808 be poured, neitherH3808 shall ye makeH6213 anyH1961 like it, accordingH5921 to the composition thereof: it is holyH6944, and it shall be holyH6944 unto youH5921. 33Whosoever compoundeth anyH4480 like it, or whosoever putteth anyH4480 of it uponH5921 a stranger, he shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from his peopleH5971. 34And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, TakeH3947 unto thee sweetH5561 spicesH5561, stacte, and onychaH7827, and galbanumH2464; sweetH5561 spicesH5561 with pureH2134 frankincenseH3828: of eachH905 shall there be a like weight; 35and thou shalt makeH6213 of it incenseH7004, a perfumeH7545 after the artH4639 of the perfumerH7543, seasoned with salt, pureH2889 and holyH6944: 36and thou shalt beatH7833 someH4480 of it veryH1854 small, and putH5414 of it beforeH6440 the testimonyH5715 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150, whereH834 I will meetH3259 with thee: it shall be unto youH834 mostH6944 holyH6944. 37And the incenseH7004 whichH834 thou shalt makeH6213, according to the composition thereof ye shall notH3808 makeH6213 for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holyH6944 for the LORDH3068. 38Whosoever shall makeH6213 like unto that, to smellH7306 thereto, he shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from his peopleH5971.
