And thou shalt make an altar on which to burn incense of perfumes: of sitta wood shalt thou make it.
A cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits its height: and its upright horns shall be of it.
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its wall round about, and its horns; and make for it a border of gold round about.
And two golden rings make thou for it beneath its border at the two corners, thou shalt make upon its two sides, to be the place for the staves by which it may be carried.
And thou shalt make the staves of sitta wood, and cover them with gold.
And thou shalt place it before the veil which is over the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, where I will appoint My Word to be with thee.
And Aharon shall burn sweet incense upon it from morning to morning: when he ordereth the lamps, be shall burn it.
And when Aharon kindleth the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn sweet incense perpetually before the Lord in your generations.
Thou shalt not offer thereon the sweet incense of strange peoples, nor offer upon it burnt offerings, or minchas, nor pour libations.
And Aharon shall expiate upon its horns once in the year with the blood of the sin offering for an expiation: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it on the day of atonement in your generations: it shall be most holy before the Lord.
And the Lord spake unto Mosheh, saying,
When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel according to their number, they shall give every man the ransom of their souls before the Lord when thou numberest them; that there may not be among them the calamity of death when thou dost number them.
This valuation was shown to Mosheh in the mountain as with a denarius of fire, and thus spake He to him: So shall every one who passeth to the numberment give a half shekel of the coin of the sanctuary: (a half shekel is twenty manin:) the half shekel is to be the separation before the Lord.
Every one who passeth to the numbering, from a son of twenty years and upwards, shall give the seperation before the Lord.
He who is rich shall not add to, and he who is poor shall not diminish from, the half shekel in giving the seperation before the Lord, to atone for your souls.
And thou shalt take the silver of the ransom from the sons of Israel, and apply it to the work of the tabernacle of ordinance; that it may be for the sons of Israel for a good memorial before the Lord, as a ransom for your souls.
And the Lord spake to Mosheh, saying,
And thou shalt make a laver of brass, and its foundation of brass, for purification; and shalt set it between the tabernacle of ordinance and the altar, and put water therein.
And they shall take from it for a cleansing ablution. And Aharon and his sons shall sanctify their hands and their feet with its water;
at the time of their entering into the tabernacle of ordinance they shall sanctify with water, that they die not by the fiery flame ___
____ and it shall be to them an everlasting statute, to him and to his sons in their generations.
And the Lord spake to Mosheh, saying,
And thou also take to thee the first aromatics, choice myrrh, in weight five hundred minas, and sweet cinnamon of half the weight, two hundred and fifty minas,
and sweet calamus in weight two hundred and fifty minas and cassia in weight five hundred minas of shekels, in the shekel of the sanctuary, and olive oil a vase full, in weight twelve logas, a loga for each tribe of the twelve tribes.
And thou shalt make of it a holy anointing oil, perfumed with perfume, the work of the perfumer, of compounded perfumes : a holy anointing oil shall it be.
And with it anoint thou the tabernacle of ordinance, and the ark of the testimony,
and the table and all its vessels, and the candelabrum and its vessels, and the altar of sweet incense,
and the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its foundation,
and consecrate them, and they shall be most holy. Every one of the priests who approacheth to them shall be sanctified; but of the rest of the tribes, (whoever toucheth them) shall be consumed by the fiery flame from before the Lord.
But Aharon and his sons anoint thou, and consecrate them to minister before Me.
And speak thou to the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil before Me unto your generations.
Upon the flesh of man it may not be poured, and the like of it you shall not make to resemble it; unto you it shall be most sacred.
The man who compoundeth the like of it, or putteth it upon the unconsecrated who are not of the sons of Aharon, shall be destroyed from his people.
And the Lord said to Mosheh, Take to thee spices, balsam, and onycha, and galbanum, choice spices, and pure frankincense, weight for weight shall it be.
And confect therewith a fragrant incense, the work of the compounder, a pure and sacred mixture.
And beat, and make it small, and of it some shalt thou put before the testimony in the tabernacle of ordinance, where I will appoint My Word to be with thee. Most sacred shall it be to you.
And of the sweet incense thou shalt make, the like shall not be made among you; it shall be sacred to you before the Lord:
the man who maketh the like of it to smell thereto shall be destroyed from his people.
