15
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when
they give the offering unto the LORD to make reconciliation for your souls.
16
And thou shalt take the reconciliation money of the sons of Israel and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the testimony, and it shall be a memorial unto the sons of Israel before the LORD to reconcile your souls.
17
And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
18
Thou shalt also make a laver
of brass, and its base
also of brass, to wash
with; and thou shalt place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, and thou shalt put water in it.
19
And from it Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.
20
When they go into the tabernacle of the testimony, they shall wash with water that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn the offering unto the LORD that must be consumed by fire,
21
they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And he and his seed shall have
it as a perpetual statute throughout their generations.
22
The LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
23
Thou must take unto thee of the principal spices: of excellent myrrh five hundred
shekels and of aromatic cinnamon half so much,
even two hundred and fifty
shekels, and of aromatic calamus two hundred and fifty
shekels,
24
and of cassia five hundred
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive one hin;
25
and thou shalt make of it the oil of the holy anointing, a superior ointment, after the art of the apothecary, which shall be the oil of the holy anointing.
