Exodus 30:13-16 ▼

13 This they shall give—everyone passing over among those who are numbered—a half shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (twenty gerahs is the shekel). The half shekel is a contribution to YHWH.

14 Everyone passing over among those who are numbered, from a son of twenty years and above, shall give a contribution of YHWH.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than the half shekel, to give a contribution of YHWH to make atonement upon your? souls.

16 And you shall take the silver of the atonements from the sons of Israel, and you shall give it to the service of the Tent of Meeting, and it shall be for the sons of Israel, for a memorial before the face of YHWH, to make atonement upon your? souls.”
