30:13. And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty obols. Half a sicle shall be offered to the Lord. Half a sicle... A sicle or shekel of silver, (which was also called a stater,) according to the standard or weight of the sanctuary, which was the most just and exact, was half an ounce of silver, that is, about half a crown of English money. The obol, or gerah, was about three halfpence. 30:14. He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards, shall give the price. 30:15. The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, and the poor man shall diminish nothing. 30:16. And the money received, which was contributed by the children of Israel, thou shalt deliver unto the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may be merciful to their souls. 30:17. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 30:18. Thou shalt make also a brazen laver with its foot to wash in: and thou shalt set it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And water being put into it: 30:19. Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it: 30:20. When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord, 30:21. Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by successions. 30:22. And the Lord spoke to Moses, 30:23. Saying: Take spices, of principal and chosen myrrh five hundred sicles, and of cinnamon half so much; that is, two hundred and fifty sicles, of calamus in like manner two hundred and fifty, 30:24. And of cassia five hundred sicles by the weight of the sanctuary, of oil of olives the measure hin: 30:25. And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded after the art of the perfumer, 30:26. And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament, 30:27. And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and furniture thereof, the altars of incense, 30:28. And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the service of them. 30:29. And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified. 30:30. Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me. 30:31. And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me throughout your generations. 30:32. The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall make none other of the same composition, because it is sanctified, and shall be holy unto you. 30:33. What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
