Exodus 30 📜 📕 ↷
Altar of Incense
1 THOU shalt make also an Altar to burn incense, of the wood setim,📜💬📚
2 having a cubit of length, and an other of breadth, that is, four square, and two cubits in height. The horns shall proceed out of the same.📜💬📚
3 And thou shalt plate it with the purest gold, as well the grate thereof, as the walls round about, and the horns. And thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about,📜💬📚
4 and two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars may be put into them, and the Altar may be carried.📜💬📚
5 The bars also themselves thou shalt make of the wood setim, and shalt plate them with gold.📜💬📚
6 And thou shalt set the Altar against the veil, that hangeth before the ark of the testimony before the propitiatory wherewith the testimony is covered, where I will speak to thee.📜💬📚
7 And Aaron shall burn incense upon it, sweetly fragrant, in the morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:📜💬📚
8 and when he shall place them at even, he shall burn incense everlasting before the Lord through your generations.📜💬📚
9 You shall not offer upon it incense of an other composition, nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libaments.📜💬📚
10 And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the blood of that which was offered for sin, & shall pacify upon it in your generations. It shall be most Holy to the Lord.📜💬📚
Census Offering
11 And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:📜💬📚
12 When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, & there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.📜💬📚
13 And this shall every one give that passeth to the naming, half a sicle according to the measure of the temple. A sicle hath twenty oboles. The half part of a sicle shall be offered to the Lord.📜💬📚
14 He that is accounted in the number, for twenty years and upward, shall give price.📜💬📚
15 The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, & the poor man shall diminish nothing.📜💬📚
16 And the money being received, which was contributed of the children of Israel, thou shalt deliver unto the uses of the tabernacle of testimony, that it may be a monument of them before the Lord, & he may be propitious to their souls.📜💬📚
Bronze Basin
17 And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:📜💬📚
18 Thou shalt make also a laver with his foot of brass, to wash in: and thou shalt set it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the Altar. And water being put into it,📜💬📚
19 Aaron and his sons shall wash therein their hands and feet,📜💬📚
20 when they are going into the tabernacle of testimony, and when they are to come unto the Altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord,📜💬📚
21 lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by succession.📜💬📚
Anointing Oil
22 And our Lord spake to Moyses,📜💬📚
23 saying: Take spices, of principal and chosen myrrh five hundred sicles, and of cinnamon half so much, that is, two hundred fifty sicles, of calamus in like manner two hundred fifty,📜💬📚
24 and of cassia five hundred sicles after the weight of the Sanctuary, of oil of olives the measure hin:📜💬📚
25 and thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded by the art of an unguentary,📜💬📚
26 and thereof thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of testimony, and the ark of the testament,📜💬📚
27 and the table with the vessel thereof, the candlestick, and the furniture thereof, the Altars of incense,📜💬📚
28 and of holocaust, and all the furniture that pertaineth to the service of them.📜💬📚
29 And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most Holy: he that shall, touch them, shall be sanctified.📜💬📚
30 Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the function of priesthood unto me.📜💬📚
31 To the children of Israel also thou shalt say: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me through your generations.📜💬📚
32 The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall make none other after the composition of it, because it is sanctified, and shall be holy unto you.📜💬📚
33 What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, shall be abandoned out of his people.📜💬📚
Incense
34 And our Lord said to Moyses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all shall be of equal weight:📜💬📚
35 and thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of an unguentary, exactly tempered, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.📜💬📚
36 And when thou hast beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt set of it before the tabernacle of testimony, in the place where I will appear to thee. Most Holy shall the incense be unto you.📜💬📚
37 Such confection you shall not make unto your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.📜💬📚
38 What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof, shall perish out of his people.📜💬📚
