Êxodo 30
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
O altar do incenso
30 —Faça um altar de madeira de acácia para queimar incenso. 2 Será quadrado, com quarenta e cinco centímetros de cada lado por noventa centímetros de altura. As pontas do altar, em forma de chifres, formarão uma só peça com ele. 3 Revista de ouro puro os quatro lados, a parte de cima, os chifres e coloque uma moldura de ouro em toda a sua volta. 4 Em cada canto do altar, abaixo da moldura, faça duas argolas. As varas usadas para transportar o altar irão passar por dentro dessas argolas. 5 As varas deverão ser feitas de madeira de acácia e revestidas de ouro. 6 Coloque o altar em frente da cortina. Da cortina que está diante da arca da aliança e da cobertura de purificação que cobre o Testemunho, onde me encontrarei com você.
7 —Todas as manhãs Aarão queimará incenso sobre o altar, na hora de preparar as lâmpadas. 8 E fará o mesmo ao entardecer, na hora de acender as lâmpadas. Todos os dias, e em todas as gerações, será queimado incenso aromático diante do SENHOR. 9 Não ofereça neste altar nenhum outro tipo de incenso, nem sacrifique animais, nem cereais, nem derrame sobre ele ofertas de vinho.
10 —Uma vez por ano Aarão fará expiação sobre os chifres do altar. A expiação será feita com o sangue do sacrifício para o perdão dos pecados, de geração em geração. Este altar é santíssimo ao SENHOR.
O imposto do templo
11 O SENHOR disse a Moisés:
12 —Quando você fizer o censo da população de Israel, cada israelita pagará ao SENHOR um imposto pelo resgate da sua vida. Assim nada de mal acontecerá ao povo. 13 Cada pessoa que for contada terá que pagar cinco gramas de prata, ou seja, metade do peso oficial do santuário, que é de dez gramas. As cinco gramas de prata serão uma oferta ao SENHOR. 14 Todos os recenseados, com mais de vinte anos, darão esse imposto ao SENHOR. 15 Nem os ricos pagarão mais, nem os pobres pagarão menos. Todos oferecerão ao SENHOR cinco gramas de prata pelo resgate da sua vida. 16 Receba essa prata do povo de Israel e use-a para o serviço da Tenda do Encontro. Assim o SENHOR se lembrará de que os israelitas pagaram o resgate pelas suas vidas.
A bacia de bronze
17 Depois o SENHOR disse a Moisés:
18 —Faça uma bacia grande de bronze com uma base de bronze, para se lavarem. Coloque-a entre a Tenda do Encontro e o altar. Encha-a de água 19 e Aarão e os seus filhos lavarão nela as mãos e os pés. 20 Cada vez que entrarem na Tenda do Encontro, deverão se lavar com essa água para não morrerem. Também deverão se lavar todas as vezes que se aproximarem do altar para queimar incenso, como oferta ao SENHOR preparada no fogo. 21 Lavarão as mãos e os pés para não morrerem. Esta é uma ordem que Aarão e os seus descendentes deverão seguir sempre por todas as gerações.
O azeite de consagração
22 O SENHOR disse também a Moisés:
23 —Você mesmo deverá escolher as melhores plantas aromáticas: seis quilos de mirra líquida, três quilos de canela com bom aroma, três quilos de cana com bom aroma, 24 seis quilos de cássia e três litros e meio de azeite de oliveira. Todas estas medidas são conforme o peso oficial do santuário.
25 —Faça com essas especiarias o azeite sagrado para as unções. Um azeite aromático, preparado como por um bom perfumista, para consagrar pessoas e coisas. 26 Derrame-o sobre a Tenda do Encontro, a arca da aliança, 27 a mesa e todos os seus utensílios, o candelabro e os seus utensílios, o altar do incenso, 28 o altar dos sacrifícios que devem ser queimados completamente e todos os seus utensílios, e a bacia com a sua base. 29 Assim os consagrará e serão santíssimos. Tudo o que neles tocar ficará consagrado.
30 —Derrame o azeite de unção sobre Aarão e os seus filhos, para você os consagrar como meus sacerdotes. 31 Diga ao povo de Israel que este azeite é santo. Deverá ser usado só para mim. 32 Não façam nenhum perfume com esta mesma composição. O azeite de unção é sagrado e não deverá ser derramado sobre nenhum outro homem. Não façam nenhum perfume com a mesma composição. 33 Quem fizer um perfume igual a este e usá-lo em alguém que não seja o sacerdote, será separado do povo.
O incenso santo
34 O SENHOR disse a Moisés:
—Junte as seguintes especiarias aromáticas em partes iguais: bálsamo, ônica, gálbano e incenso aromático. 35 Você fará com essa mistura um perfume preparado com sal, como um bom perfumista, um incenso puro e santo. 36 Com parte do incenso, faça um pó muito fino e coloque-o diante do Testemunho, na Tenda do Encontro onde eu me encontrei com você. Este incenso será para vocês o mais sagrado. 37 Usem este incenso só para o SENHOR. Não façam nenhum outro incenso com a mesma composição. 38 Se alguém fizer um incenso igual a este, para usá-lo como perfume, deverá ser expulso da comunidade de Israel.
Exodus 30
New King James Version
The Altar of Incense(A)
30 “You shall make (B)an altar to burn incense on; you shall make it of acacia wood. 2 A cubit shall be its length and a cubit its width—it shall be square—and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. 3 And you shall overlay its top, its sides all around, and its horns with pure gold; and you shall make for it a [a]molding of gold all around. 4 Two gold rings you shall make for it, under the molding on both its sides. You shall place them on its two sides, and they will be holders for the poles with which to bear it. 5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 6 And you shall put it before the (C)veil that is before the ark of the Testimony, before the (D)mercy seat that is over the Testimony, where I will meet with you.
7 “Aaron shall burn on it (E)sweet incense every morning; when (F)he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it. 8 And when Aaron lights the lamps [b]at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. 9 You shall not offer (G)strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering; nor shall you pour a drink offering on it. 10 And (H)Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement; once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”
The Ransom Money
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 12 (I)“When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give (J)a[c] ransom for himself to the Lord, when you number them, that there may be no (K)plague among them when you number them. 13 (L)This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (M)(a shekel is twenty gerahs). (N)The half-shekel shall be an offering to the Lord. 14 Everyone included among those who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an [d]offering to the Lord. 15 The (O)rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an offering to the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves. 16 And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and (P)shall [e]appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be (Q)a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.”
The Bronze Laver
17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 18 (R)“You shall also make a [f]laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall (S)put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, 19 for Aaron and his sons (T)shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. 20 When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And (U)it shall be a [g]statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”
The Holy Anointing Oil(V)
22 Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 23 “Also take for yourself (W)quality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid (X)myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling (Y)cane, 24 five hundred shekels of (Z)cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a (AA)hin of olive oil. 25 And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be (AB)a holy anointing oil. 26 (AC)With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony; 27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense; 28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base. 29 You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; (AD)whatever touches them must be holy. 30 (AE)And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests.
31 “And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32 It shall not be poured on man’s flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its composition. (AF)It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33 (AG)Whoever [h]compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on an outsider, (AH)shall be [i]cut off from his people.’ ”
The Incense(AI)
34 And the Lord said to Moses: (AJ)“Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each. 35 You shall make of these an incense, a compound (AK)according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36 And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting (AL)where I will meet with you. (AM)It shall be most holy to you. 37 But as for the incense which you shall make, (AN)you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its [j]composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord. 38 (AO)Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.”

Exodus 30
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
30 And you shall make an altar to burn incense upon; of acacia wood you shall make it.
2 A cubit shall be its length and a cubit its breadth; its top shall be square and it shall be two cubits high. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
3 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about and its horns, and you shall make a crown (a rim or molding) of gold around it.
4 You shall make two golden rings under the rim of it, on the two ribs on the two opposite sides of it; and they shall be holders for the poles with which to carry it.
5 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, overlaid with gold.
6 You shall put the altar [of incense] in front and outside of the veil that screens the ark of the Testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony (the Law, the tables of stone), where I will meet with you.
7 And Aaron shall burn on it incense of sweet spices; every morning when he trims and fills the lamps he shall burn it.(A)
8 And when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
9 You shall offer no unholy incense on the altar nor burnt sacrifice nor cereal offering; and you shall pour no libation (drink offering) on it.
10 Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once a year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement upon and for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
12 When you take the census of the Israelites, every man shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord when you number them, that no plague may fall upon them when you number them.(B)
13 This is what everyone shall give as he joins those already numbered: a half shekel, in terms of the sanctuary shekel, a shekel being twenty gerahs; a half shekel as an offering to the Lord.
14 Everyone from twenty years old and upward, as he joins those already numbered, shall give this offering to the Lord.(C)
15 The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel when [you] give this offering to the Lord to make atonement for yourselves.
16 And you shall take the atonement money of the Israelites and use it [exclusively] for the service of the Tent of Meeting, that it may bring the Israelites to remembrance before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.
17 And the Lord said to Moses,
18 You shall also make a laver or large basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, for washing; and you shall put it [outside in the court] between the Tent of Meeting and the altar [of burnt offering], and you shall put water in it;
19 There Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.(D)
20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord,(E)
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die; it shall be a perpetual statute for [Aaron] and his descendants throughout their generations.
22 Moreover, the Lord said to Moses,
23 Take the best spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, of sweet-scented cinnamon half as much, 250 shekels, of fragrant calamus 250 shekels,
24 And of cassia 500 shekels, in terms of the sanctuary shekel, and of olive oil a hin.
25 And you shall make of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer; it shall be a sacred anointing oil.
26 And you shall anoint the Tent of Meeting with it, and the ark of the Testimony,
27 And the [showbread] table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
28 And the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver [for cleansing] and its base.
29 You shall sanctify (separate) them, that they may be most holy; whoever and whatever touches them must be holy (set apart to God).
30 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify (separate) them, that they may minister to Me as priests.
31 And say to the Israelites, This is a holy anointing oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit], sacred to Me alone throughout your generations.(F)
32 It shall not be poured upon a layman’s body, nor shall you make any other like it in composition; it is holy, and you shall hold it sacred.
33 Whoever compounds any like it or puts any of it upon an outsider shall be cut off from his people.
34 Then the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense, an equal amount of each—
35 And make of them incense, a perfume after the perfumer’s art, seasoned with salt and mixed, pure and sacred.
36 You shall beat some of it very small and put some of it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be to you most holy.
37 And the incense which you shall make according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves; it shall be to you holy to the Lord.
38 Whoever makes any like it for perfume shall be cut off from his people.
