PATTERN FOR THE SACRIFICE ALTAR
And work a sacrifice altar to incence incense - work it of shittim timber: 2 a cubit long and a cubit wide - being foursquare: and two cubits high: the horns thereof of the same: 3 and overlay it with pure gold, around its roof and its walls and its horns: and work a moulding of gold around it: 4 and work two golden signets to it under its moulding by its two sides - work it on its two sides: and they become housings for the staves to bear it. 5 And work the staves of shittim timber and overlay them with gold: 6 and give it at the face of the veil by the ark of the witness at the face of the kapporeth over the witness where I meet with you. 7 And Aharon incenses incense of aromatics thereon morning by morning: when he well-prepares the lamps he incenses thereon: 8 and when Aharon holocausts the lamps between evenings, he incenses a continual incense thereon at the face of Yah Veh throughout your generations. 9 Holocaust no strange incense thereon - neither holocaust, nor offering: nor libate a libation thereon: 10 and Aharon kapars/atones on the horns thereof once in a year with the blood of the kippurim for sin: once in a year he kapars/atones on it throughout your generations: - a holy of holies to Yah Veh. 11
KIPPURIM GIFT
And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, 12 When you bear the heads of the sons of Yisra El who are mustered, then every man gives a koper/an atonement for his soul to Yah Veh when you muster them: that no plague becomes among them, when you muster them. 13 This they give - everyone passing among them who are mustered: a half shekel after the shekel of the holies - a shekel is twenty gerahs: a half shekel is the exaltment to Yah Veh. 14 Everyone passing among them who are mustered - sons of twenty years and above gives an exaltment to Yah Veh. 15 The rich abound no more and the poor diminish no less than a half shekel to give an exaltment to Yah Veh to kapar/atone for your souls: 16 and you take the kippurim silver of the sons of Yisra El and give it for the service of the tent of the congregation; to become a memorial to the sons of Yisra El at the face of Yah Veh, to kapar/atone for your souls. 17
PATTERN FOR THE LAVER
And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, 18 Work also a laver of copper and its base of copper, to baptize: and give it between the tent of the congregation and between the sacrifice altar; and you give water therein: 19 for Aharon and his sons to baptize their hands and their feet therein: 20 when they go into the tent of the congregation they baptize with water so that they die not - or when they come near to the sacrifice altar to minister - to incense a firing to Yah Veh: 21 then they baptize their hands and their feet, so that they die not: and it becomes an eternal statute to them - to him and to his seed throughout their generations. 22
FORMULA FOR THE ANOINTING OIL
And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, 23 And you, take to yourself head spices: of clear myrrh five hundred and of cinnamon spice half as much - two hundred and fifty; and of spice stems, two hundred and fifty; 24 and of cassia five hundred after the shekel of the hallowed refuge; and of olive oil a hin: 25 and work an oil of holy ointment, a perfume of ointments after the work of the perfumer: it becomes a holy anointing oil: 26 and anoint the tent of the congregation therewith and the ark of the witness 27 and the table and all his instruments and the menorah and his instruments and the sacrifice altar of incense 28 and the sacrifice altar of holocaust and all his instruments; and the laver and his base: 29 and hallow them and they become a holy of holies: whatever touches them becomes hallowed: 30 and anoint Aharon and his sons and hallow them to priest the priesthood to me. 31 And word to the sons of Yisra El, saying, This becomes a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations. 32 Neither pour it on human flesh, nor work any other like this formula - holy: and so be it, holy to you. 33 Any man who perfumes any like it, or whoever gives thereof on a stranger, becomes cut off from his people. 34 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Take aromatics - stacte and onycha and galbanum; these aromatics with pure frankincense - being equal: 35 and work an incense - a perfume after the art of the perfumer - salted, pure and holy: 36 and in pulverizing, pulverize it and give thereof at the face of the witness in the tent of the congregation, where I meet with you: it becomes to you a holy of holies. 37 And as for the incense you work: work not to yourselves according to this formula: it becomes to you holy for Yah Veh. 38 Any man who works like it, to scent thereto, even he becomes cut off from his people.
