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.
