1 “And you have made an altar [for] making incense; you make it of shittim wood; “You shall make an altar on which to burn incense; you shall make it of acacia wood. “Make an altar of acacia wood for burning incense.
2 a cubit its length and a cubit its breadth (it is square), and two cubits its height; its horns [are] of the same. A cubit shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth. It shall be square, and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high —its horns of one piece with it.
3 And you have overlaid it with pure gold—its top, and around its sides, and its horns; and you have made a crown of gold for it all around; You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And you shall make a molding of gold around it. Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.
4 and you make two rings of gold for it, under its crown on its two ribs; you make [them] on its two sides, and they have become places for poles to carry it with them. And you shall make two golden rings for it. Under its molding on two opposite sides of it you shall make them, and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it. Make two gold rings for the altar below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it.
5 And you have made the poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them with gold; You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
6 and you have put it before the veil, which [is] by the Ark of the Testimony, before the propitiatory covering which [is] over the Testimony, where I meet with you. And you shall put it in front of the veil that is above the ark of the testimony, in front of the mercy seat that is above the testimony, where I will meet with you. Put the altar in front of the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law—before the atonement cover that is over the tablets of the covenant law—where I will meet with you.
7 And Aaron has made incense on it, incense of spices, morning by morning; in his making the lamps right, he makes incense [on] it, And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it, “Aaron must burn fragrant incense on the altar every morning when he tends the lamps.
8 and in Aaron’s causing the lamps to go up between the evenings, he makes incense [on] it; [it is] a continual incense before YHWH throughout your generations. and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the LORD throughout your generations. He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at twilight so incense will burn regularly before the LORD for the generations to come.
9 You do not cause strange incense to go up on it—and burnt-offering and present; and you do not pour out a drink-offering on it; You shall not offer unauthorized incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and you shall not pour a drink offering on it. Do not offer on this altar any other incense or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it.
10 and Aaron has made atonement on its horns once in a year, by the blood of the sin-offering of atonements; once in a year he makes atonement for it, throughout your generations; it [is] most holy to YHWH.” Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year. With the blood of the sin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD.” Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering for the generations to come. It is most holy to the LORD.”
11 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses, Then the LORD said to Moses,
12 “When you take up the census of the sons of Israel for their numbers, then they have each given an atonement [for] his soul to YHWH in their being numbered, and there is no plague among them in their being numbered. “When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for his life to the LORD when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them. “When you take a census of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the LORD a ransom for his life at the time he is counted. Then no plague will come on them when you number them.
13 This they give, everyone passing over to those numbered, half a shekel, by the shekel of the holy place (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs); half a shekel [is] the raised-offering to YHWH; Each one who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as an offering to the LORD. Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD.
14 everyone passing over to those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, gives the raised-offering of YHWH; Everyone who is numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the LORD’s offering. All who cross over, those twenty years old or more, are to give an offering to the LORD.
15 the rich do not multiply, and the poor do not diminish from the half-shekel, to give the raised-offering of YHWH, to make atonement for your souls. The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when you give the LORD’s offering to make atonement for your lives. The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less when you make the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives.
16 And you have taken the atonement-money from the sons of Israel, and have given it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; and it has been to the sons of Israel for a memorial before YHWH, to make atonement for your souls.” You shall take the atonement money from the people of Israel and shall give it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may bring the people of Israel to remembrance before the LORD, so as to make atonement for your lives.” Receive the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting. It will be a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD, making atonement for your lives.”
17 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses, Then the LORD said to Moses,
18 “And you have made a laver of bronze (and its base of bronze), for washing; and you have put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and have put water [in] there, “You shall also make a basin of bronze, with its stand of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it, “Make a bronze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
19 and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet from it; with which Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet. Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet with water from it.
20 they wash [with] water in their going into the Tent of Meeting, and do not die; or in their drawing near to the altar to minister, to make incense [as] a fire-offering to YHWH, When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn a food offering to the LORD, they shall wash with water, so that they may not die. Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die. Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the LORD,
21 then they have washed their hands and their feet, and they do not die, and it has been a continuous statute to them, to him and to his seed, throughout their generations.” They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die. It shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.” they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”
22 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses, Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 “And you, take [these] principal spices for yourself: five hundred [shekels] of liquid myrrh, and the half of that—two hundred and fifty [shekels]—of spice-cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty [shekels] of spice-cane, “Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, 250, and 250 of aromatic cane, “Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant calamus,
24 and five hundred [shekels] of cassia, by the shekel of the holy place, and a hin of olive oil; and 500 of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.
25 and you have made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil. And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil.
26 And with it you have anointed the Tent of Meeting, and the Ark of the Testimony, With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, Then use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law,
27 and the table and all its vessels, and the lampstand and its vessels, and the altar of incense, and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

30 and you anoint Aaron and his sons, and have sanctified them for being priests to Me. You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests. “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.
31 And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This is a holy anointing oil to Me, throughout your generations; And you shall say to the people of Israel, ‘This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.
32 it is not poured on [the] flesh of man, and you make nothing [else] like it in its proportion; it [is] holy—it is holy to you; It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. Do not pour it on anyone else’s body and do not make any other oil using the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred.
33 a man who compounds [any] like it, or who puts of it on a stranger, has even been cut off from his people.” Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’” Whoever makes perfume like it and puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off from their people.’”
34 And YHWH says to Moses, “Take to yourself spices—stacte, and onycha, and galbanum—spices and pure frankincense; they are part for part; The LORD said to Moses, “Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part), Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts,
35 and you have made it an incense, a compound, work of a compounder, salted, pure, holy; and make an incense blended as by the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy. and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer. It is to be salted and pure and sacred.
36 and you have beaten [some] of it small, and have put of it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, to where I meet with you; it is most holy to you. You shall beat some of it very small, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting where I shall meet with you. It shall be most holy for you. Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.
37 As for the incense which you make, you do not make [any] for yourselves in its proportion; it is holy to you for YHWH; And the incense that you shall make according to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves. It shall be for you holy to the LORD. Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy to the LORD.
38 a man who makes [any] like it—to be refreshed by it—has even been cut off from his people.” Whoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people.” Whoever makes incense like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off from their people.”
