   Exodus Chapter 30   
      
   1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood   
   shalt thou make it.   
      
   2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof;   
   foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the   
   horns thereof shall be of the same.   
      
   3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the   
   sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make   
   unto it a crown of gold round about.   
      
   4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by   
   the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it;   
   and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.   
      
   5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with   
   gold.   
      
   6 And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the   
   testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I   
   will meet with thee.   
      
   7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he   
   dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.   
      
   8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon   
   it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.   
      
   9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor   
   meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.   
      
   10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year   
   with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall   
   he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy   
   unto the LORD.   
      
   11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
      
   12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their   
   number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the   
   LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when   
   thou numberest them.   
      
   13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are   
   numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is   
   twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.   
      
   14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty   
   years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.   
      
   15 The 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.   
      
   16 And 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.   
      
   17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
      
   18 Thou 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.   
      
   19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:   
      
   20 When 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:   
      
   21 So 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.   
      
   22 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
      
   23 Take 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,   
      
   24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the   
   sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:   
      
   25 And 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.   
      
   26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith,   
   and the ark of the testimony,   
      
   27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his   
   vessels, and the altar of incense,   
      
   28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver   
   and his foot.   
      
   29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever   
   toucheth them shall be holy.   
      
   30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that   
   they may minister unto me in the priest's office.   
      
   31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall   
   be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.   
      
   32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any   
   other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be   
   holy unto you.   
      
   33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it   
   upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.   
      
   34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte,   
   and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of   
   each shall there be a like weight:   
      
   35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the   
   apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:   
      
   36 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the   
   testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with   
   thee: it shall be unto you most holy.   
      
   37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to   
   yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee   
   holy for the LORD.   
      
   38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be   
   cut off from his people.   
      
   Exodus Chapter 31   
      
   1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
      
   2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of   
   the tribe of Judah:   
      
   3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in   
   understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,   
      
   4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,   
      
   5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to   
   work in all manner of workmanship.   
      
   6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of   
   the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have   
   put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;   
      
   7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and   
   the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,   
      
   8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his   
   furniture, and the altar of incense,   
      
   9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver   
   and his foot,   
      
   10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the   
   priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,   
      
   11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place:   
   according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.   
      
   12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
