7. And Aaron shall burn thereon fragrant incense: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn the incense.
8. And when Aaron lighteth the lamps between the two evenings, he shall burn the incense--a continual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.
9. Ye shall offer up no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor oblation; neither shall ye pour drink-offering thereon.
10. And Aaron shall make atonement for its horns once in the year: with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement shall he make atonement for it, once in the year, throughout your generations: it is most holy to Jehovah.
11. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12. When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to those of them that are numbered, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah on their being numbered, that there be no plague among them on their being numbered.
13. This shall they give--every one that passeth among them that are numbered--half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, --twenty gerahs the shekel; a half shekel shall be the heave-offering for Jehovah.
14. Every one that passeth among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the heave-offering of Jehovah.
15. The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when ye give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
