The Altar of Incense
(Exodus 37:25–29)

1And make an altar for burning incense: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. 2A cubit its length, a cubit its breadth; it shall be four-square; and two cubits its height: its horns out of it. 3And 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. 4And 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. 5And make staves of acacia wood, and spread them over with gold. 6And 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. 7And 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. 8And in Aaron's causing the lamps, to ascend between the two evenings, he shall burn incense upon it; continually before Jehovah for your generations. 9And 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. 10And 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.

The Census Offering
(2 Samuel 24:1–9; 1 Chronicles 21:1–6)

11And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, 12When 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. 13This 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. 14All passing by upon their reviewing, from the son of twenty years and above, shall give an offering to Jehovah. 15The 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. 16And 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.

The Bronze Basin
(Exodus 38:8)

17And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, 18Make a brass wash-basin, and its pedestal brass, for washing: and give it between the tent of appointment and between the altar, and give water there. 19And Aaron and his son washed from it their hands and their feet. 20In their coming into the tent of appointment, they shall wash with water, and they shall not die: or in their drawing near to the altar to serve, to burn a sacrifice to Jehovah. 21And 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.

The Anointing Oil

22And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying. 23Take thou to thee spices of head of flowing myrrh, five hundred: and fragrant cinnamon of its half, fifty and two hundred; and fragrant reed, fifty and two hundred. 24And cassia, five hundred by the holy shekel, and the oil of olive, a hin: 25And make it an oil a holy anointing, a perfumed unguent the work of the perfumer: it shall be an oil a holy anointing. 26And anoint the tent of appointment, and the ark of the testimony, 27And the table and all its vessels and the chandelier and its vessels, and the altar of incense, 28And the altar of burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the wash-basin and its pedestal. 29And consecrate them, and they shall be holy of holies; every one touching upon them shall be holy. 30And Aaron and his sons thou shalt anoint and consecrate them to be priests to me. 31And to the sons of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, An oil a holy anointing shall this be to me for your generations. 32Upon 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. 33A man who shall perfume like it, and shall give to the stranger, and he shall be cut off from his people.

The Incense

34And Jehovah will say to Moses, Take to thee aromatics, resin, and onycha, and galbanum; aromatics and pure frankincense: it shall be part for part. 35And make it a perfume, an ointment, a work of the perfumer, salted, pure, holy. 36And pound fine from it to small dust, and give from it before the testimony in the tent of appointment where I will meet with thee there: holy of holies, shall it be to you. 37And the perfume which thou shalt make, according to its measure ye shall not make to you: it shall be holy to you for Jehovah. 38A man who shall make like it to smell in it, and he shall be cut off from his people.
