Exodus 30
1 “You are also to make an altar of acacia wood for the burning of incense.
Fvrthermore thou shalt make an altar for sweete perfume, of Shittim wood thou shalt make it.
2 It is to be square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns must be of one piece.
The length therof a cubite and the breadth thereof a cubite (it shalbe foure square) and the height thereof two cubites: the hornes thereof shalbe of the same,
3 Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.
And thou shalt ouerlay it with fine golde, both the toppe therof and the sides thereof round about, and his hornes: also thou shalt make vnto it a crowne of gold round about.
4 And make two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.
Besides this thou shalt make vnder this crowne two golden rings on either side: euen on euery side shalt thou make them, that they may be as places for the barres to beare it withall.
5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
The which barres thou shalt make of Shittim wood, and shalt couer them with golde.
6 Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony —before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony—where I will meet with you.
After thou shalt set it before the vaile, that is neere the Arke of Testimonie, before the Merciseate that is vpon the Testimonie, where I will appoynt with thee.
7 And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps.
And Aaron shall burne thereon sweete incense euery morning: when hee dresseth the lampes thereof, shall he burne it.
8 When Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he must burn the incense perpetually before the LORD for the generations to come.
Likewise at eue, when Aaron setteth vp the lampes thereof, he shall burne incense: this perfume shalbe perpetually before ye Lord, throughout your generations.
9 On this altar you must not offer unauthorized incense or a burnt offering or grain offering; nor are you to pour a drink offering on it.
Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offring, neither powre any drinke offring thereon.
10 Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. The altar is most holy to the LORD.”
And Aaron shall make reconciliation vpon the hornes of it once in a yere with the blood of the sinne offring in the day of reconciliation: once in the yeere shall hee make reconciliation vpon it throughout your generations: this is most holy vnto the Lord.
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Afterward the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
12 “When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will come upon them when they are numbered.
When thou takest the summe of the children of Israel after their nomber, then they shall giue euery man a redemption of his life vnto the Lord, when thou tellest them, that there bee no plague among the when thou countest them.
13 Everyone who crosses over to those counted must pay a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD.
This shall euery man giue, that goeth into the nomber, halfe a shekel, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie: (a shekel is twentie gerahs) the halfe shekel shalbe an offring to the Lord.
14 Everyone twenty years of age or older who crosses over must give this offering to the LORD.
All that are nombred from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall giue an offring to the Lord.
15 In making the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives, the rich shall not give more than a half shekel, nor shall the poor give less.
The rich shall not passe, and the poore shall not diminish from halfe a shekel, when ye shall giue an offring vnto the Lord, for the redemption of your liues.
16 Take the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD to make atonement for your lives.”
So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it vnto the vse of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memoriall vnto the children of Israel before the Lord for the redemption of your liues.
17 And the LORD said to Moses,
Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
18 “You are to make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Set it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it,
Thou shalt also make a lauer of brasse, and his foote of brasse to wash, and shalt put it betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and shalt put water therein.
19 with which Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet.
For Aaron and his sonnes shall wash their hands and their feete thereat.
20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister by presenting an offering made by fire to the LORD, they must wash with water so that they will not die.
When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they goe vnto the Altar to minister and to make the perfume of ye burnt offring to the Lord, they shall wash themselues with water, lest they die.
21 Thus they are to wash their hands and feet so that they will not die; this shall be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”
So they shall wash their handes and their feete that they die not: and this shall be to them an ordinance for euer, both vnto him and to his seede throughout their generations.
22 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
23 “Take the finest spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half that amount (250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane,
Take thou also vnto thee, principall spices of the most pure myrrhe fiue hundreth shekels, of sweete cinamon halfe so much, that is, two hundreth and fiftie, and of sweete calamus, two hundreth, and fiftie:
24 500 shekels of cassia —all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.
Also of cassia fiue hundreth, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie, and of oyle oliue an Hin.
25 Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.
So thou shalt make of it the oyle of holie oyntment, euen a most precious oyntment after the arte of the Apothecarie: this shalbe the oyle of holy oyntment.
26 Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,
And thou shalt anoynt the Tabernacle of the Congregation therewith, and the Arke of the Testimonie:
27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,
Also the Table, and al the instruments thereof, and the Candlesticke, with all the instruments thereof, and the altar of incense:
28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.
Also the Altar of burnt offring with al his instruments, and the lauer and his foote.
29 You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
So thou shalt sanctifie them, and they shalbe most holy: all that shall touch them, shalbe holy.
30 Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.
Thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sonnes, and shalt consecrate them, that they may minister vnto me in the Priests office.
31 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.
Moreouer thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, This shalbe an holy oynting oyle vnto me, throughout your generations.
32 It must not be used to anoint an ordinary man, and you must not make anything like it with the same formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.
None shall anoynt, mans flesh therewith, neither shall ye make any composition like vnto it: for it is holy, and shalbe holy vnto you.
33 Anyone who mixes perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”
Whosoeuer shall make the like oyntment, or whosoeuer shall put any of it vpon a stranger, euen he shalbe cut off from his people.
34 The LORD also said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—in equal measures,
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Take vnto thee these spices, pure myrrhe and cleare gumme and galbanum, these odours with pure frankincense, of eche like weight:
35 and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
Then thou shalt make of them perfume composed after the arte of the apothecarie, mingled together, pure and holy.
36 Grind some of it into fine powder and place it in front of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.
And thou shalt beate it to pouder, and shalt put of it before the Arke of the Testimonie in the Tabernacle of ye Cogregatio, where I wil make appointmet with thee: it shalbe vnto you most holy.
37 You are never to use this formula to make incense for yourselves; you shall regard it as holy to the LORD.
And ye shall not make vnto you any composition like this perfume, which thou shalt make: it shalbe vnto thee holy for the Lord.
38 Anyone who makes something like it to enjoy its fragrance shall be cut off from his people.”
Whosoeuer shall make like vnto that to smelll thereto, euen he shalbe cut off from his people.
