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 who is counted, from twenty years old and over, shall give the contribution to the LORD. 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.
