Exodus 30

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 'You will make an altar on which to burn incense; you wil make it of acacia wood,	1 Thou shalt make also an altar to burn incense, of setim wood.
2 one cubit long, and one cubit wide -- it must be square -- and two cubits high; its horns must be of apiece with it.	2 It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is, foursquare, and two in height. Horns shall go out of the same.
3 You will overlay its top, its sides all round and its horns with pure gold and make a gold moulding to goal round.	3 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, as well as the grate thereof, as the walls round about and the horns. And thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about,
4 You will make two gold rings for it below the moulding on its two opposite sides, to take the shaftsused for carrying it.	4 And two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars may be put into them, and the altar be carried.
5 You will make the shafts of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.	5 And thou shalt make the bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
6 'You will put it in front of the curtain by the ark of Testimony, in front of the mercy-seat which is on theTestimony, where I shal meet you.	6 And thou shalt set the altar over against the veil, that hangeth before the ark of the testimony before the propitiatory wherewith the testimony is covered, where I will speak to thee.
7 On it Aaron wil burn fragrant incense each morning; when he trims the lamps, he will burn incense onit;	7 And Aaron shall burn sweet smelling incense upon it in the morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:
8 and when Aaron puts back the lamps at twilight, he will burn incense on it, incense perpetual y beforeYahweh for all your generations to come.	8 And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
9 You will not offer unauthorised incense, or burnt offering, or cereal offering on it, and you will not pourany libation over it.	9 You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations.
10 Once a year, Aaron wil perform the rite of expiation on the horns of the altar; once a year, on the Dayof Expiation, with the blood of the sacrifice for sin, he wil make expiation for himself, for al your generations tocome. It is especial y holy for Yahweh.'	10 And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the blood of that which was offered for sin, and shall make atonement upon it in your generations. It shall be most holy to the Lord.
11 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,	11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 'When you count the Israelites by census, each one of them must pay Yahweh a ransom for his life,to avoid any incidence of plague among them while you are holding the census.	12 When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.
13 Everyone subject to the census wil pay half a shekel, reckoning by the sanctuary shekel: twentygerah to the shekel. This half-shekel will be set aside for Yahweh.	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.
14 Everyone subject to the census, that is to say of twenty years and over, will pay the sum set aside forYahweh.	14 He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards, shall give the price.
15 The rich man must not give more, nor the poor man less, than half a shekel when he pays the sumset aside for Yahweh in ransom for your lives.	15 The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, and the poor man shall diminish nothing.
16 You wil take the ransom money of the Israelites and apply it to the service of the Tent of Meeting, forit to be a reminder of the Israelites before Yahweh, as the ransom for your lives.'	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.
17 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,	17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18 'You wil also make a bronze basin on its bronze stand, for washing. You wil put it between the Tentof Meeting and the altar and put water in it,	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,
19 in which Aaron and his sons wil wash their hands and feet.	19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:
20 Whenever they are to enter the Tent of Meeting, they wil wash, to avoid incurring death; andwhenever they approach the altar for their service, to burn an offering for Yahweh,	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,
21 they wil wash their hands and feet, to avoid incurring death. This is a perpetual decree for him andhis descendants for all their generations to come.'	21 Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by successions.
22 Yahweh spoke further to Moses and said,	22 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
23 'Take the finest spices: five hundred shekels of fresh myrrh, half as much (two hundred and fiftyshekels) of fragrant cinnamon, two hundred and fifty shekels of scented reed,	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.
24 five hundred shekels (reckoning by the sanctuary shekel) of cassia, and one hin of olive oil.	24 And of cassia five hundred sicles by the weight of the sanctuary, of oil of olives the measure hin:
25 You wil make this into a holy anointing oil, such a blend as the perfumer might make; this wil be aholy anointing oil.	25 And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded after the art of the perfumer,
26 With it you wil anoint the Tent of Meeting and the ark of the Testimony,	26 And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,
27 the table and al its accessories, the lamp-stand and its accessories, the altar of incense,	27 And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and furniture thereof, the altars of incense,
28 the altar of burnt offerings and al its accessories, and the basin with its stand,	28 And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the service of them.
29 consecrating them, so that they wil be especial y holy and whatever touches them wil become holy.	29 And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified.
30 You wil also anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to be priests in my service.	30 Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
31 You wil then speak to the Israelites and say, "This anointing oil wil be holy for you for al yourgenerations to come.	31 And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me throughout your generations.
32 It must not be used for anointing the human body, nor may you make any of the same mixture. It is aholy thing; you wil regard it as holy.	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.
33 Anyone who makes up the same oil or uses it on an unauthorised person wil be outlawed from hispeople." '	33 What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
34 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Take sweet spices: storax, onycha, galbanum, sweet spices and purefrankincense in equal parts,	34 And the Lord said to Moses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all shall be of equal weight.
35 and compound an incense, such a blend as the perfumer might make, salted, pure, and holy.	35 And thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of the perfumer, well tempered together, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.
36 You wil grind some of this up very fine and put it in front of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting,where I shal meet you. You wil regard it as especial y holy.	36 And when thou has beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt set of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to thee. Most holy shall this incense be to you.
37 You may not make any incense of similar composition for your own use. You wil regard it as holy,reserved for Yahweh Anyone who makes up the same thing to use as perfume will be outlawed from his people.'	37 You shall not make such a composition for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.
	38 What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof, he shall perish out of his people.
