Thou shalt make also an altar to burn incense, of setim wood.

2 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.

It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is, foursquare, and two in height. Horns shall go out of the same.

3 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,

And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, as well as the grate thereof, as the walls round about and the horns. And thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about,

4 `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.

And two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars may be put into them, and the altar be carried.

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

And thou shalt make the bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.

You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations.

12 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.

When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.

And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty obols. Half a sicle shall be offered to the Lord.

He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards, shall give the price.

Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:

20 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,

When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord,

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

Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by successions.
