Exodus 30:1-19

LXX2012^{(i) 1} And you shall make the altar of incense of incorruptible wood. ² And you shall make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth: it shall be square; and the height of it shall be of two cubits, its horns shall be of the same piece. ³ And you shall gild its grate with pure gold, and its sides round about, and its horns; and you shall make for it a wreathen border of gold roundabout. ⁴ And you shall make under its wreathen border two rings of pure gold; you shall make it to the two corners on the two sides, and they shall be bearings for the staves, so as to bear it with them. ⁵ And you shall make the staves of incorruptible wood, and shall gild them with gold. ⁶ And you shall set it before the veil that is over the ark of the testimonies, wherein I will make myself known to you from thence. ⁷ And Aaron shall burn upon it fine compound incense every morning; whenever he trims the lamps he shall burn incense upon it. ⁸ And when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a constant incense-offering always before the Lord for their generations. ⁹ And you shall not offer strange incense upon it, [nor] and offering made by fire, [nor] a sacrifice; and you shall not pour a drink-offering upon it. ¹⁰ And once in the year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns, he shall purge it with the blood of purification for their generations: it is most holy to the Lord. ¹¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹² If you take account of the children of Israel in the surveying of them, and they shall give every one a ransom for his soul to the Lord, then there shall not be among them a destruction in the visiting of them. ¹³ And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a didrachm which is according to the didrachm of the sanctuary: twenty oboli [go to] the didrachm, but the half of the didrachm is the offering to the Lord. ¹⁴ Every one that passes the survey from twenty years old and upwards shall give the offering to the Lord. ¹⁵ The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than the half didrachm in giving the offering to the Lord, to make atonement for your souls. ¹⁶ And you shall take the money of the offering from the children of Israel, and shall give it for the service of the tabernacle of testimony; and it shall be to the children of Israel a memorial before the Lord, to make atonement for your souls. ¹⁷ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁸ Make a brazen laver, and a brazen base for it, for washing; and you shall put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar, and you shall pour forth water into it. ¹⁹ And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet with water from it.
