30:1 `And thou hast made an altar `for' making perfume; `of' shittim wood thou dost make it;
30:2 a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth, (it is square), and two cubits its height; its horns `are' of the same.
30:3 `And thou hast overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou hast made to it a crown of gold round about;
30:4 and two rings of gold thou dost make to it under its crown; on its two ribs thou dost make `them', on its two sides, and they have become places for staves, to bear it with them.
30:5 `And thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold;
30:6 and thou hast put it before the vail, which `is' by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat which `is' over the testimony, whither I am met with thee.
30:7 `And Aaron hath made perfume on it, perfume of spices, morning by morning; in his making the lamps right he doth perfume it,
30:8 and in Aaron's causing the lamps to go up between the evenings, he doth perfume it; a continual perfume before Jehovah to your generations.
30:9 `Ye do not cause strange perfume to go up upon it, and burnt-offering, and present, and libation ye do not pour out on it;
30:10 and Aaron hath made atonement on its horns, once in a year, by the blood of the sin-offering of atonements; once in a year doth he make atonement for it, to your generations; it `is' most holy to Jehovah.'
30:11 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
30:12 `When thou takest up the sum of the sons of Israel for their numbers, then they have given each an atonement `for' his soul to Jehovah in their being numbered, and there is no plague among them in their being numbered.
30:13 `This they do give, every one passing over unto those numbered, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel `is' twenty gerahs); half a shekel `is' the heave-offering to Jehovah;
30:14 every one passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, doth give the heave-offering of Jehovah;
30:15 the rich doth not multiply, and the poor doth not diminish from the half-shekel, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
30:16 `And thou hast taken the atonement-money from the sons of Israel, and hast given it for the service of the tent of meeting; and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a memorial before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.'
30:17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
30:18 `And thou hast made a laver of brass (and its base of brass), for washing; and thou hast put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there;
30:19 and Aaron and his sons have washed at it their hands and their feet,
30:20 in their going in unto the tent of meeting they wash `with' water, and die not; or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister, to perfume a fire-offering to Jehovah,
30:21 then they have washed their hands and their feet, and they die not, and it hath been to them a statute age-during, to him and to his seed to their generations.'
30:22 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
30:23 `And thou, take to thyself principal spices, wild honey five hundred `shekels'; and spice-cinnamon, the half of that, two hundred and fifty; and spice-cane two hundred and fifty;
30:24 and cassia five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary, and olive oil a hin;
30:25 and thou hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil.
30:26 `And thou hast anointed with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
30:27 and the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of perfume,
30:28 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base;
30:29 and thou hast sanctified them, and they have been most holy; all that is coming against them is holy;
30:30 and Aaron and his sons thou dost anoint, and hast sanctified them for being priests to Me.
30:31 `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, A holy anointing oil is this to Me, to your generations;
30:32 on flesh of man it is not poured, and with its proper proportion ye make none like it; it `is' holy; it is holy to you;
30:33 a man who compoundeth `any' like it, or who putteth of it on a stranger -- hath even been cut off from his people.'
30:34 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Take to thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; they are part for part;
30:35 and thou hast made it a perfume, a compound, work of a compounder, salted, pure, holy;
30:36 and thou hast beaten `some' of it small, and hast put of it before the testimony, in the tent of meeting, whither I am met with thee; most holy it is to you.
30:37 `As to the perfume which thou makest, with its proper proportion ye do not make to yourselves, holy it is to thee to Jehovah;
30:38 a man who maketh `any' like it -- to be refreshed by it -- hath even been cut off from his people.'
