Exodus 30

1 “Make an altar for burning incense from acacia wood.

Also thou schalt make an auter of the trees of Sechym, to brenne encense;

2 It shall be square, measuring a cubit by a cubit, by two cubits high, with horns on its corners that are all one piece with the altar.

and the auter schal haue a cubit of lengthe, and another cubit of brede, that is foure cornerid, and twei cubitis in heiythe; corneris schulen come forth of the auter.

3 Cover its top, its side, and its horns with pure gold, and make a gold trim to go all around it.

And thou schalt clothe it with clennest gold, as wel the gridil therof, as the wallis and corneris bi cumpas therof; and thou schalt make to the auter a litil goldun coroun,

4 Make two gold rings for the altar and attach them below the trim, two on both sides, to hold the poles to carry it.

`bi cumpas, and twei goldun serclis vndur the coroun by alle sidis, that barris be put in to the serclis, and the auter be borun.

5 Make the poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold.

Also thou schalt make tho barris of the trees of Sechym, and thou schalt ouergilde;

6 Put the altar in front of the veil that hangs before the Ark of the Testimony and the atonement cover that is over the Testimony where I will meet with you.

and thou schalt sette the auter ayens the veil, which veil hangith bifor the ark of witnessyng bifor the propiciatorie, bi which the witnessyng is hilid, where Y schal speke to thee.

7 Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on the altar every morning when he takes care of the lamps.

And Aaron schal brenne theronne encense smellynge swetly eerli; whanne he schal araye the lanternes, he schal brenne it;

8 When he lights the lamps in the evening he must burn incense again so that incense will always be burned in the Lord's presence for generations to come.

and whanne he settith the lanternes at euentid, he schal brenne euerlastynge encense bifor the Lord, in to youre generaciouns.

9 Don't offer on this altar any unapproved incense or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour out a drink offering upon it.

Ye schulen not offre theronne encense of other makyng, nethir offryng, and slayn sacrifice, nether ye schulen offre fletynge offryngis thereonne.

10 Once a year Aaron must perform the atonement ritual by placing blood on the horns of the altar from the sin offering for atonement. This yearly atonement ritual must be carried out for generations to come. This is the Lord's holy altar.”

And Aaron schal preie on the corneres therof onis bi the yeer, in the blood which is offrid for synne, and he schal plese theronne in youre generaciouns; it schal be the hooli of hooli thingis to the Lord.

11 The Lord told Moses,

And the Lord spak to Moises,

12 “When you take a census of the Israelites, each man must pay the Lord to buy back his life when he's counted. Then they won't suffer from the plague when they're counted.

and seide, Whanne thou schalt take the summe of the sones of Israel, alle bi hem silf schulen yyue `bi the noumbre prijs for her soulis to the Lord, and veniaunce schal not be in hem, whanne thei ben noumbrid.

13 Each one who crosses over to those counted must give a half shekel, (using the sanctuary shekel standard, which weighs twenty gerahs). This half shekel is an offering to the Lord.

Sotheli ech that passith to the name, schal yyue this, half a sicle bi the mesure of the temple; a sicle hath twenti halpens; the myddil part of a cicle schal be offrid to the Lord.

14 This offering to the Lord is required from everyone twenty years old and more.

He that is hadde in noumbre, fro twenti yeer and aboue,

15 When you give this offering to buy back your lives the rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less.

schal yyue prijs; a riche man schal not adde to the myddil of cicle, and a pore man schal no thing abate.

16 Take this money paid by the Israelites and use it for the expenses involved in the services of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a reminder for the Israelites to buy back your lives in the presence of the Lord.”

And thou schalt bitake in to vsis of the tabernacle of witnessyng the money takun, which is gaderid of the sones of Israel, that it be the mynde of hem bifor the Lord, and he schal be merciful to `the soulis of hem.

17 The Lord told Moses,

And the Lord spak to Moises,

18 “Make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

and seide, Also thou schalt make a greet vessil of bras with his foundement to waische, and thou schalt sette it bitwixe the tabernacle of witnessyng and the auter `of brent sacrifices; and whanne watir is put therynne,

19 Aaron and his sons will use it to wash their hands and feet.

Aaron and hise sones schulen waische therynne her hondis and feet,

20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting, they are to wash with water so that they will not die. When they approach the altar to present burnt offerings to the Lord,

whanne thei schulen entre in to the tabernacle of witnessyng, and whanne thei schulen neiye to the auter that thei offre therynne encense to the Lord,

21 they must also wash so that they will not die. This requirement is to be observed by them and their descendants for all generations.”

lest perauenture thei dien; it schal be a lawful thing euerlastinge to hym and to his seed bi successiouns.

22 The Lord told Moses,

And the Lord spak to Moises,

23 “Take the best quality spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, 250 shekels of sweet-smelling cinnamon, 250 shekels of aromatic reed,

and seide, Take to thee swete smellynge spiceries, of the firste and chosun myrre, fyue hundrid siclis; and of canel the half, that is, twei hundrid and fifti siclis;

24 500 shekels of cassia, (weights using the sanctuary shekel standard), and a hin of olive oil.

in lijk maner of calamy twei hundrid and fifti siclis; also of casia fyue hundrid siclis, in the weiyte of seyntuarie; oile of olyue trees, the mesure hyn;

25 Mix these together into holy anointing oil, an aromatic blend like the product of an expert perfumer. Use it as holy anointing oil.

and thou schalt make the hooly oile of anoyntyng, an oynement maad bi the werk of a `makere of oynement.

26 Use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony,

And thou schal anoynte therof the tabernacle of witnessyng, and the ark of testament, and the boord with hise vessels,

27 the table and all its equipment, the lampstand and its equipment, the altar of incense,

the candilstike, and the purtenaunces therof, the auteris of encense,

28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand.

and of brent sacrifice, and al the purtenaunce, that perteyneth to the ournyng of tho.

29 Dedicate them so that they will be especially holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.

And thou schalt halewe alle thingis, and tho schulen be the hooli of holi thingis; he that schal touche tho, schal be halewid.

30 Anoint Aaron and his sons too and dedicate them to serve as priests for me.

Thou schalt anoynte Aaron, and hise sones, and thou schalt halewe hem, that thei be set in presthod to me.

31 Tell the Israelites, ‘This is to be my holy anointing oil for all generations to come.

And thou schalt seie to the sones of Israel, This oile of anoyntyng schal be hooli to me in to youre generaciouns.

32 Don't use it on ordinary people and don't make anything like it using the same formula. It is holy, and you must treat it as being holy.

The fleisch of man schal not be anoyntid therof, and bi the makyng therof ye schulen not make another, for it is halewid, and it schal be hooli to you.

33 Anyone who mixes anointing oil like it, or puts it on someone other than a priest, will be expelled from their people.’”

What euer man makith sich oile, and yyueth therof to an alien, he schal be `destried fro his puple.

34 The Lord told Moses, “Take equal amounts of these aromatic spices: balsam resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense.

Forsothe the Lord seide to Moises, Take to thee swete smellynge spyceries, stacten, and onyca, galban of good odour, and pureste encense, alle schulen be of euene weiyte.

35 Add some salt and make pure and holy incense blended like the product of an expert perfumer.

And thou schal make encence, maad by werk of oynement makere, meddlid diligentli, and pure, and moost worthi of halewyng.

36 Grind some of it into powder and place it in front of the Ark of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be especially holy to you.

And whanne thou hast powned alle thingis in to smalleste poudre, thou schalt putte therof bifor the tabernacle of witnessyng, in which place Y schal appere to thee; encense schal be to you the hooli of hooli thingis.

37 Don't make for yourselves any incense like it using the same formula. You are to consider this incense as holy to the Lord.

Ye schulen not make siche a makyng in to youre vsis, for it is hooli to the Lord.

38 Anyone who makes incense like this for themselves to enjoy will be expelled from their people.”

What euer man makith a lijk thing, that he vse the odour therof, he schal perische fro his puple.
