1And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it. 2A 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. 3And 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.30.3 top: Heb. roof30.3 sides: Heb. walls 4And 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.30.4 corners: Heb. ribs 5And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 6And 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. 7And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.30.7 sweet incense: Heb. incense of spices 8And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.30.8 lighteth: or setteth up: Heb. causeth to ascend30.8 at even: Heb. between the two evenings 9Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon. 10And 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, 12When 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.30.12 their number: Heb. them that are to be numbered 13This 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. 14Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD. 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.30.15 give more: Heb. multiply30.15 give less: Heb. diminish 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.
17¶ And 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.
22¶ Moreover 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.30.25 apothecary: or, perfumer 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. 30And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 31And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations. 32Upon 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. 33Whosoever 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: 35And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:30.35 tempered…: Heb. salted 36And 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. 37And 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. 38Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
造香坛的条例
1“你要用皂荚木造一座烧香用的坛。 2坛是四方形的，长宽各四十五厘米，高九十厘米，上面有突出的角状物，与坛连成一体。 3坛顶、坛的四面和坛上的角状物要包上纯金，四周镶上金边。 4要在坛两侧的金边下面安两个金环，使横杠穿过金环，以便抬香坛。 5要用皂荚木造横杠，包上金。 6要把香坛放在约柜前幔子的外面，对着约柜上的施恩座——就是我要跟你会面的地方。
7“亚伦每天早上料理灯台的时候，要在这坛上烧芬芳的香。 8黄昏点灯的时候，他也要在耶和华面前烧香，世世代代都要如此。 9不可在这香坛上烧别的香料，不可用这坛来献燔祭或素祭，也不可在上面浇奠祭。 10亚伦每年要在坛的角上行一次赎罪礼，用赎罪祭牲的血涂在坛角上，世代如此。这是耶和华至圣的坛。”
人丁的赎价
11耶和华对摩西说： 12“你统计以色列人口的时候，每一个被统计的男子都要缴付赎价给耶和华，赎回自己的性命，免得在统计人口期间发生灾祸。 13凡被统计的人都要付六克银子，即十季拉，以圣所的秤为准，作为献给耶和华的礼物。 14凡被统计的，年龄在二十岁以上的男子都要献此礼物给耶和华。 15富有的不用多缴，贫穷的也不可少付，每个人都要付六克银子，作为献给耶和华的礼物，用来赎他们自己的性命。 16要向以色列人收赎命的款项，供会幕使用，可以使以色列人在耶和华面前蒙眷顾，赎性命。”
洗濯盆
17耶和华对摩西说： 18“你用铜造一个洗濯盆和盆座，放在会幕和祭坛之间，盆里盛着水， 19供亚伦父子们洗手洗脚， 20他们进会幕或在坛上献火祭之前，一定要自洁才可以供职，免得死亡。 21他们要洗手洗脚，免得死亡，这是亚伦和他的子孙世世代代都要守的条例。”
22耶和华对摩西说： 23“要以圣所的秤为准，用上等的香料，就是没药液六公斤、香肉桂和菖蒲各三公斤、 24肉桂皮六公斤，再加上橄榄油四升， 25按着调制香料的方法制作圣膏油。 26要用这些膏油来抹会幕、约柜、 27桌子和桌上所有的器具、灯台和灯台上的器具、香坛、 28燔祭坛和坛上所有的器具、洗濯盆和盆座。 29你要使这一切圣洁，成为至圣之物。凡碰到它们的都会圣洁。
30“你也要用这种油来膏亚伦父子们，使他们分别出来，做圣洁的祭司事奉我。 31你要把我的话告诉以色列百姓，‘我要世世代代以这油为圣膏油。 32不要把这膏油用在普通人身上，也不可仿制，因为这是圣膏油，你们也要视之为圣物。 33任何人若仿制或用这油抹祭司以外的人，要将他从民中铲除。’”
34耶和华对摩西说：“要取各种芬芳的香料，就是苏合香、香螺、白松香和纯乳香，分量相同， 35用调制香料的方法调制，加上盐，做成纯净圣洁的香。 36你们要把一些香捣成极细的粉末，放在会幕内的约柜前面，就是我与你会面的地方，你们要视这香为至圣之物。 37你们不可用同样的配方为自己做香，要视它为耶和华的圣物。 38任何人若仿制这香，自己拿来私用30:38 “私用”希伯来文是“闻这香味”。，必从民中被铲除。”
