Exodus 30:12-16 When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel, by their numberings, then shall they give, every man a propitiatory–covering for his soul to Yahweh, when they are numbered,––that there may be among them no plague, when they are numbered.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel, by their numberings, then shall they give, every man a propitiatory–covering for his soul to Yahweh, when they are numbered,––that there may be among them no plague, when they are numbered. ¹³ This, shall they give––every one that passeth over to them that have been numbered––a half–shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary,––the shekel is, twenty gerahs––the half–shekel, shall be a heave–offering to Yahweh. ¹⁴ All who pass over to the numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, shall give the heave–offering of Yahweh. ¹⁵ The rich, shall not give more, and, the poor, shall not give less, than the half–shekel,––when they give the heave–offering of Yahweh, to put a propitiatory–covering over your souls. ¹⁶ So then thou shalt take the silver for the propitiatory–coverings, from the sons of Israel, and shalt expend it upon the service of the tent of meeting,––thus shall it be for the sons of Israel, as a memorial before Yahweh, to put a propitiatory–covering over your souls.
