1 And make an altar for burning incense: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. 2 A cubit its length, a cubit its breadth; it shall be four-square; and two cubits its height: its horns out of 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. 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. 5 And make staves of acacia wood, and spread them over with gold. 6 And give it before the vail that is upon the ark of the testimonies, before the cover which is upon the testimonies, where I will meet with thee there. 7 And Aaron to burn upon it incense of spices in the morning: in the morning in his adorning the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. 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. 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. 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. 11 And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, 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. 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.
