2 A cubit its length, a cubit its breadth; it shall be four-square; and two cubits its height: its horns out of it. 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 spread it over with pure gold its top, and its walls round about, and its horns: and make to it a gold wreath round about. 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 two gold rings shalt thou make to it from under its crown, upon its two ribs, shalt thou make upon its two sides; and it was for inner parts for staves to lift it up by 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.

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.

8 And in Aaron's causing the lamps, to ascend between the two evenings, he shall burn incense upon it; continually before Jehovah for 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 And ye shall not bring up upon it strange incense; and a burnt-offering, a sacrifice and a libation thou shalt not pour out upon 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 to expiate upon its horns once in a year, from the blood of the sin of the expiation: once in a year he shall expiate upon it for your generations: it is holy of holies to Jehovah.

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.”

12 When thou shalt take up the head of the sons of Israel for their reviewing, and they gave each a ransom of his soul to Jehovah, and in reviewing them; and a stumble shall not be in them in reviewing them. “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 shall give, all passing by upon their reviewing, from half the shekel by the holy shekel; (twenty gerahs the shekel:) from half a shekel an offering to Jehovah. 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 All passing by upon their reviewing, from the son of twenty years and above, shall give an offering to Jehovah. 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 one shall not multiply, and the poor one shall not diminish from half the shekel, to give an offering to Jehovah to expiate 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 take the silver of the expiations from the sons of Israel and give it for the work of the tent of appointment; and it was for the sons of Israel a remembrance before Jehovah to expiate for your souls.

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 And they shall wash their hands and their feet, and they shall not die: and it was to them a law forever, to him and to his seed and to their generations. They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die.

32 Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured, and according to its measure ye shall not make like it: it is holy; holy shall it be 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.

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 And the perfume which thou shalt make, according to its measure ye shall not make to you: it shall be holy to you for Jehovah. 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 shall make like it to smell in it, and he shall be 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.”
