Exodus 30
1 “Make an altar for burning incense from acacia wood.
Fvrthermore thou shalt make an altar for sweete perfume, of Shittim wood thou shalt make it.
2 It shall be square, measuring a cubit by a cubit, by two cubits high, with horns on its corners that are all one piece with the altar.
The length therof a cubite and the breadth thereof a cubite (it shalbe foure square) and the height thereof two cubites: the hornes thereof shalbe of the same,
3 Cover its top, its side, and its horns with pure gold, and make a gold trim to go all around it.
And thou shalt ouerlay it with fine golde, both the toppe therof and the sides thereof round about, and his hornes: also thou shalt make vnto it a crowne of gold round about.
4 Make two gold rings for the altar and attach them below the trim, two on both sides, to hold the poles to carry it.
Besides this thou shalt make vnder this crowne two golden rings on either side: euen on euery side shalt thou make them, that they may be as places for the barres to beare it withall.
5 Make the poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold.
The which barres thou shalt make of Shittim wood, and shalt couer them with golde.
6 Put the altar in front of the veil that hangs before the Ark of the Testimony and the atonement cover that is over the Testimony where I will meet with you.
After thou shalt set it before the vaile, that is neere the Arke of Testimonie, before the Merciseate that is vpon the Testimonie, where I will appoynt with thee.
7 Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on the altar every morning when he takes care of the lamps.
And Aaron shall burne thereon sweete incense euery morning: when hee dresseth the lampes thereof, shall he burne it.
8 When he lights the lamps in the evening he must burn incense again so that incense will always be burned in the Lord's presence for generations to come.
Likewise at eue, when Aaron setteth vp the lampes thereof, he shall burne incense: this perfume shalbe perpetually before ye Lord, throughout your generations.
9 Don't offer on this altar any unapproved incense or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour out a drink offering upon it.
Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offring, neither powre any drinke offring thereon.
10 Once a year Aaron must perform the atonement ritual by placing blood on the horns of the altar from the sin offering for atonement. This yearly atonement ritual must be carried out for generations to come. This is the Lord's holy altar.”
And Aaron shall make reconciliation vpon the hornes of it once in a yere with the blood of the sinne offring in the day of reconciliation: once in the yeere shall hee make reconciliation vpon it throughout your generations: this is most holy vnto the Lord.
11 The Lord told Moses,
Afterward the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
12 “When you take a census of the Israelites, each man must pay the Lord to buy back his life when he's counted. Then they won't suffer from the plague when they're counted.
When thou takest the summe of the children of Israel after their nomber, then they shall giue euery man a redemption of his life vnto the Lord, when thou tellest them, that there bee no plague among the when thou countest them.
13 Each one who crosses over to those counted must give a half shekel, (using the sanctuary shekel standard, which weighs twenty gerahs). This half shekel is an offering to the Lord.
This shall euery man giue, that goeth into the nomber, halfe a shekel, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie: (a shekel is twentie gerahs) the halfe shekel shalbe an offring to the Lord.
14 This offering to the Lord is required from everyone twenty years old and more.
All that are nombred from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall giue an offring to the Lord.
15 When you give this offering to buy back your lives the rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less.
The rich shall not passe, and the poore shall not diminish from halfe a shekel, when ye shall giue an offring vnto the Lord, for the redemption of your liues.
16 Take this money paid by the Israelites and use it for the expenses involved in the services of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a reminder for the Israelites to buy back your lives in the presence of the Lord.”
So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it vnto the vse of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memoriall vnto the children of Israel before the Lord for the redemption of your liues.
17 The Lord told Moses,
Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
18 “Make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
Thou shalt also make a lauer of brasse, and his foote of brasse to wash, and shalt put it betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and shalt put water therein.
19 Aaron and his sons will use it to wash their hands and feet.
For Aaron and his sonnes shall wash their hands and their feete thereat.
20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting, they are to wash with water so that they will not die. When they approach the altar to present burnt offerings to the Lord,
When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they goe vnto the Altar to minister and to make the perfume of ye burnt offring to the Lord, they shall wash themselues with water, lest they die.
21 they must also wash so that they will not die. This requirement is to be observed by them and their descendants for all generations.”
So they shall wash their handes and their feete that they die not: and this shall be to them an ordinance for euer, both vnto him and to his seede throughout their generations.
22 The Lord told Moses,
Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
23 “Take the best quality spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, 250 shekels of sweet-smelling cinnamon, 250 shekels of aromatic reed,
Take thou also vnto thee, principall spices of the most pure myrrhe fiue hundreth shekels, of sweete cinamon halfe so much, that is, two hundreth and fiftie, and of sweete calamus, two hundreth, and fiftie:
24 500 shekels of cassia, (weights using the sanctuary shekel standard), and a hin of olive oil.
Also of cassia fiue hundreth, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie, and of oyle oliue an Hin.
25 Mix these together into holy anointing oil, an aromatic blend like the product of an expert perfumer. Use it as holy anointing oil.
So thou shalt make of it the oyle of holie oyntment, euen a most precious oyntment after the arte of the Apothecarie: this shalbe the oyle of holy oyntment.
26 Use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony,
And thou shalt anoynt the Tabernacle of the Congregation therewith, and the Arke of the Testimonie:
27 the table and all its equipment, the lampstand and its equipment, the altar of incense,
Also the Table, and al the instruments thereof, and the Candlesticke, with all the instruments thereof, and the altar of incense:
28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand.
Also the Altar of burnt offring with al his instruments, and the lauer and his foote.
29 Dedicate them so that they will be especially holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.
So thou shalt sanctifie them, and they shalbe most holy: all that shall touch them, shalbe holy.
30 Anoint Aaron and his sons too and dedicate them to serve as priests for me.
Thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sonnes, and shalt consecrate them, that they may minister vnto me in the Priests office.
31 Tell the Israelites, ‘This is to be my holy anointing oil for all generations to come.
Moreouer thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, This shalbe an holy oynting oyle vnto me, throughout your generations.
32 Don't use it on ordinary people and don't make anything like it using the same formula. It is holy, and you must treat it as being holy.
None shall anoynt, mans flesh therewith, neither shall ye make any composition like vnto it: for it is holy, and shalbe holy vnto you.
33 Anyone who mixes anointing oil like it, or puts it on someone other than a priest, will be expelled from their people.’”
Whosoeuer shall make the like oyntment, or whosoeuer shall put any of it vpon a stranger, euen he shalbe cut off from his people.
34 The Lord told Moses, “Take equal amounts of these aromatic spices: balsam resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense.
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Take vnto thee these spices, pure myrrhe and cleare gumme and galbanum, these odours with pure frankincense, of eche like weight:
35 Add some salt and make pure and holy incense blended like the product of an expert perfumer.
Then thou shalt make of them perfume composed after the arte of the apothecarie, mingled together, pure and holy.
36 Grind some of it into powder and place it in front of the Ark of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be especially holy to you.
And thou shalt beate it to pouder, and shalt put of it before the Arke of the Testimonie in the Tabernacle of ye Cogregatio, where I wil make appointmet with thee: it shalbe vnto you most holy.
37 Don't make for yourselves any incense like it using the same formula. You are to consider this incense as holy to the Lord.
And ye shall not make vnto you any composition like this perfume, which thou shalt make: it shalbe vnto thee holy for the Lord.
38 Anyone who makes incense like this for themselves to enjoy will be expelled from their people.”
Whosoeuer shall make like vnto that to smelll thereto, euen he shalbe cut off from his people.
