Exodus 30:15-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 30
15The rich shall not pay more, and the poor shall not pay less, than the half shekel, when you give the contribution to the Lord to make atonement for yourselves. 16And you shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel and give it for the service of the tent of meeting, so that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.'
17Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
18You shall also make a basin of bronze, with its base of bronze, for washing; and you shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet from it;
20when they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they do not die; or when they approach the altar to minister, by offering up in smoke a fire sacrifice to the Lord.
21So they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they do not die; and it shall be a permanent statute for them, for Aaron and his descendants throughout their generations.'
22Moreover, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, 250, and of fragrant cane 250,
24and of cassia 500, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.
25You shall make from these a holy anointing oil, a fragrant mixture of ointments, the work of a perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26And you shall anoint the tent of meeting with it, and the ark of the testimony,
27and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
28and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand.
29You shall also consecrate them, so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy.
King James Version
Chapter 30
15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls. 16And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls. 17And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 18Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein. 19For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: 20When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the Lord: 21So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations. 22Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 23Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, 24And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
26And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
27And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
28And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
29And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

Chapter 30
15The wealthy may not give more and the poor may not give less than half a shekel when giving the contribution to the Lord to atone for your lives. 16Take the atonement price from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting. It will serve as a reminder for the Israelites before the Lord to atone for your lives."
17The Lord spoke to Moses:
18"Make a bronze basin for washing and a bronze stand for it. Set it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
19Aaron and his sons must wash their hands and feet from the basin.
20Whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister by burning an offering to the Lord, they must wash with water so that they will not die.
21They must wash their hands and feet so that they will not die; this is to be a permanent statute for them, for Aaron and his descendants throughout their generations."
22The Lord spoke to Moses:
23"Take for yourself the finest spices: 12½ pounds of liquid myrrh, half as much (6¼ pounds ) of fragrant cinnamon, 6¼ pounds of fragrant cane,
2412½ pounds of cassia (by the sanctuary shekel), and a gallon of olive oil.
25Prepare from these a holy anointing oil, a scented blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be holy anointing oil.
26"With it you are to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony,
27the table with all its utensils, the lampstand with its utensils, the altar of incense,
28the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.
29Consecrate them and they will be especially holy. Whatever touches them will be consecrated.
New Living Translation
Chapter 30
15When this offering is given to the Lord to purify your lives, making you right with him, the rich must not give more than the specified amount, and the poor must not give less. 16Receive this ransom money from the Israelites, and use it for the care of the Tabernacle. It will bring the Israelites to the Lord’s attention, and it will purify your lives.'
17Then the Lord said to Moses,
18Make a bronze washbasin with a bronze stand. Place it between the Tabernacle and the altar, and fill it with water.
19Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and feet there.
20They must wash with water whenever they go into the Tabernacle to appear before the Lord and when they approach the altar to burn up their special gifts to the Lord — or they will die!
21They must always wash their hands and feet, or they will die. This is a permanent law for Aaron and his descendants, to be observed from generation to generation.'
22Then the Lord said to Moses,
23Collect choice spices — 12 1/2 pounds of pure myrrh, 6 1/4 pounds of fragrant cinnamon, 6 1/4 pounds of fragrant calamus,
24and 12 1/2 pounds of cassia — as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Also get one gallon of olive oil.
25Like a skilled incense maker, blend these ingredients to make a holy anointing oil.
26Use this sacred oil to anoint the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant,
27the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and all its accessories, the incense altar,
28the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the washbasin with its stand.
29Consecrate them to make them absolutely holy. After this, whatever touches them will also become holy.

25And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony,
27and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
28and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the basin and its stand.
29You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.

27the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,
