Chapter 30

1

AND you shall make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittiym wood shall you make it.

2

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

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

4

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

5

And you shall make the staves of shittiym wood, and overlay them with gold.

6

And you shall put it before the veil that is by the Ark of the Testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7

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

8

And when Aharon lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before Yahuah throughout your generations.

9

Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor ascending smoke sacrifice, nor oblation; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.

10

And Aharon 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 Yahuah.

11

And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,

12

When you take the sum of the children of Yashar'el after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Yahuah, when you number them; that there be no plague among them, when you number them.

13

This they shall give, everyone that passes among them that are numbered, half a sheqel after the sheqel of the sanctuary: (a sheqel is twenty gerahs:) a half sheqel shall be the offering of Yahuah.

14

Everyone that passes among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto Yahuah.

15

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

16

And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Yashar'el, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tabernacle of the assembly; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Yashar'el before Yahuah, to make an atonement for your souls.

17

And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,

18

You shall also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and you shall put it between the Tabernacle of the assembly and the altar, and you shall put water therein.

19

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

20

When they go into the Tabernacle of the assembly, 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 Yahuah:

21

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

22

Moreover Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,

23

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

24

And of cassia five hundred sheqels, after the sheqel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive a hin:

25

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

26

And you shall anoint the Tabernacle of the assembly therewith, and the Ark of the Testimony,

27

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

28

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

29

And you shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever touches them shall be holy.

30

And you shall anoint Aharon and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.

31

And you shall speak unto the children of Yashar'el, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.

32

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

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

34

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

35

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

36

And you shall beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the Tabernacle of the assembly, where I will meet with you: it shall be unto you most holy.

37

And as for the perfume which you shall make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto you holy for Yahuah.

38

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