Exodus 30

1 Facies quoque altare ad adolendum thymiama, de lignis setim,

And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.

2 habens cubitum longitudinis, et alterum latitudinis, id est, quadrangulum, et duos cubitos in altitudine. Cornua ex ipso procedent.

A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.

3 Vestiesque illud auro purissimo, tam craticulam ejus, quam parietes per circuitum, et cornua. Faciesque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum,

And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.

4 et duos annulos aureos sub corona per singula latera, ut mittantur in eos vectes, et altare portetur.

And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.

5 Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setim, et inaurabis.

And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 Ponesque altare contra velum, quod ante arcum pendet testimonii coram propitiatorio quo tegitur testimonium, ubi loquar tibi.

And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

7 Et adolebit incensum super eo Aaron, suave fragrans, mane. Quando componet lucernas, incendet illud:

And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.

8 et quando collocabit eas ad vesperum, uret thymiama sempiternum coram Domino in generationes vestras.

And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before Yhwh throughout your generations.

9 Non offeretis super eo thymiama compositionis alterius, nec oblationem, et victimam, nec libabitis libamina.

Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor grain offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.

10 Et deprecabitur Aaron super cornua ejus semel per annum, in sanguine quod oblatum est pro peccato, et placabit super eo in generationibus vestris. Sanctum sanctorum erit Domino.

And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto Yhwh.

11 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,

12 Quando tuleris summam filiorum Israël juxta numerum, dabunt singuli pretium pro animabus suis Domino, et non erit plaga in eis, cum fuerint recensiti.

When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Yhwh, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.

13 Hoc autem dabit omnis qui transit ad nomen, dimidium sicli juxta mensuram templi (siclus viginti obolos habet); media pars sicli offeretur Domino.

This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: ( a shekel is twenty gerahs: ) an half shekel shall be the offering of Yhwh.

14 Qui habetur in numero, a viginti annis et supra, dabit pretium.

Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto Yhwh.

15 Dives non addet ad medium sicli, et pauper nihil minuet.

The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto Yhwh, to make an atonement for your souls.

16 Susceptamque pecuniam, quæ collata est a filiis Israël, trades in usus tabernaculi testimonii, ut sit monimentum eorum coram Domino, et propitietur animabus eorum.

And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before Yhwh, to make an atonement for your souls.

17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,

18 Facies et labrum æneum cum basi sua ad lavandum: ponesque illud inter tabernaculum testimonii et altare. Et missa aqua,

Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.

19 lavabunt in ea Aaron et filii ejus manus suas ac pedes,

For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:

20 quando ingressuri sunt tabernaculum testimonii, et quando accessuri sunt ad altare, ut offerant in eo thymiama Domino,

When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto Yhwh:

21 ne forte moriantur; legitimum sempiternum erit ipsi, et semini ejus per successiones.

So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

22 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen,

Moreover Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,

23 dicens: Sume tibi aromata, primæ myrrhæ et electæ quingentos siclos, et cinnamomi medium, id est, ducentos quinquaginta siclos, calami similiter ducentos quinquaginta,

Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,

24 casiæ autem quingentos siclos, in pondere sanctuarii, olei de olivetis mensuram hin:

And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:

25 faciesque unctionis oleum sanctum, unguentum compositum opere unguentarii,

And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

26 et unges ex eo tabernaculum testimonii, et arcam testamenti,

And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,

27 mensamque cum vasis suis, et candelabrum, et utensilia ejus, altaria thymiamatis,

And the table and all his vessels, and the lampstand and his vessels, and the altar of incense,

28 et holocausti, et universam supellectilem quæ ad cultum eorum pertinet.

And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.

29 Sanctificabisque omnia, et erunt Sancta sanctorum; qui tetigerit ea, sanctificabitur.

And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

30 Aaron et filios ejus unges, sanctificabisque eos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.

And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

31 Filiis quoque Israël dices: Hoc oleum unctionis sanctum erit mihi in generationes vestras.

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.

32 Caro hominis non ungetur ex eo, et juxta compositionem ejus non facietis aliud, quia sanctificatum est, et sanctum erit vobis.

Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.

33 Homo quicumque tale composuerit, et dederit ex eo alieno, exterminabitur de populo suo.

Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

34 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Sume tibi aromata, stacten et onycha, galbanum boni odoris, et thus lucidissimum; æqualis ponderis erunt omnia:

And Yhwh said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:

35 faciesque thymiama compositum opere unguentarii, mistum diligenter, et purum, et sanctificatione dignissimum.

And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:

36 Cumque in tenuissimum pulverem universa contuderis, pones ex eo coram tabernaculo testimonii, in quo loco apparebo tibi. Sanctum sanctorum erit vobis thymiama.

And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

37 Talem compositionem non facietis in usus vestros, quia sanctum est Domino.

And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for Yhwh.

38 Homo quicumque fecerit simile, ut odore illius perfruatur, peribit de populis suis.

Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
