Exodus 30:15-28 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. “The rich does not give more and the poor does not give less than half a sheqel, when you give a contribution to יהוה, to make atonement for yourselves.

16. “And you shall take the silver for the atonement from the children of Yisra’ĕl, and give it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. And it shall be to the children of Yisra’ĕl for a remembrance before יהוה, to make atonement for yourselves.”

17. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

18. “And you shall make a basin of bronze, with its stand also of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it.

19. “And Aharon and his sons shall wash from it their hands and their feet.

20. “When they go into the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near the altar to attend, to burn an offering made by fire to יהוה, they wash with water, lest they die.

21. “And they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a law forever to them, to him and his seed throughout their generations.”

22. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

23. “And take for yourself choice spices, five hundred sheqels of liquid myrrh, and half as much – two hundred and fifty – of sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty of sweet-smelling cane,

24. and five hundred of cassia, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, and a hin of olive oil.

25. “And you shall make from these a set-apart anointing oil, a compound, blended, the work of a perfumer. It is a set-apart anointing oil.

26. “And with it you shall anoint the Tent of Meeting and the ark of the Witness,

27. and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,

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