14. All who cross over, those twenty years old or more, are to give an offering to the Lord.
15. The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less when you make the offering to the Lord to atone for your lives.
16. Receive the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting. It will be a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord, making atonement for your lives.”
17. Then the Lord said to Moses,
18. “Make a bronze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
19. Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet with water from it.
20. Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die. Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the Lord,
21. they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”
22. Then the Lord said to Moses,
23. “Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant calamus,
24. 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.
25. Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil.
26. Then use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law,
27. the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,
28. the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.
29. You shall consecrate them so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy.
30. “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.
31. Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.
