Exodus 30:11-16

11 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

12 quando tuleris summam filiorum Israhel iuxta numerum dabunt singuli pretium pro animabus suis Domino et non erit plaga in eis cum fuerint recensiti

13 hoc autem dabit omnis qui transit ad nomen dimidium sicli iuxta mensuram templi siclus viginti obolos habet media pars sicli offeretur Domino

14 qui habetur in numero a viginti annis et supra dabit pretium

15 dives non addet ad medium sicli et pauper nihil minuet

16 susceptamque pecuniam quae conlata est a filiis Israhel trades in usus tabernaculi testimonii ut sit monumentum eorum coram Domino et propitietur animabus illorum
