香壇的做法(A)

30 “你要做一座燒香的壇,你要用皂莢木做這座壇。 壇要四方的:長四十五公分,寬四十五公分,高九十公分。壇的四角要與壇接連在一起。 你要用純金把壇包裹,壇頂、壇的四邊和壇的四角都要包裹,你要給壇的四圍做金牙邊。 在壇的兩旁金牙邊以下你要做兩個金環,兩邊都有,用來穿木槓的地方,以便抬壇。 你要用皂莢木做木槓,要用金把它們包裹。 你要把壇放在法櫃前面的幔幕前,面對著法櫃上的施恩座,就是我與你相會的地方。 亞倫要在壇上燒香料做的香,每天早晨整理燈的時候,要燒這香。 傍晚,亞倫點燈的時候,也要燒這香,在耶和華面前作你們世世代代不斷的香。 在這壇上,你們不可獻上凡香、燔祭、素祭,也不可在這壇上澆奠祭。 10 亞倫每年一次要在壇的四角上行贖罪禮,每一次他都要用贖罪祭牲的血在壇上行贖罪禮;你們世世代代都要這樣行,這壇要歸耶和華為至聖。”

贖銀

11 耶和華對摩西說: 12 “你要照著以色列人被數點的數目登記人數;你數點的時候,他們各人要為自己的性命把贖價歸給耶和華,免得你數點的時候,他們中間有災病。 13 以下就是他們當繳納的;凡是屬於那些被數點的人的,每人要照著聖所的標準獻銀子六克;這六克銀子是歸給耶和華的禮物。這重量是聖所用的標準重量(“這重量是聖所用的標準重量”原文作“一舍客勒是二十季拉”)。 14 凡是屬於那些被數點的人,自二十歲以上的,要把禮物獻給耶和華。 15 富有的人不可多出,貧窮的也不可少出。各人要納六克銀子,作禮物獻給耶和華,好為你們的性命作贖價。 16 你要從以色列人收取這贖銀,指定作會幕事奉的使用,好使它在耶和華面前為以色列人作個記念,也贖回你們的性命。”

銅盆(B)

17 耶和華對摩西說: 18 “你要做一個銅盆和一個銅座,用來洗濯。你要把盆放在會幕和祭壇之間,並且要把水放在盆中。 19 亞倫和他的兒子要在盆裡洗手洗腳。 20 他們進會幕的時候,或是走近祭壇敬拜,給耶和華焚燒火祭的時候,都要用水洗濯,免得死亡。 21 他們要洗手洗腳,免得死亡。這要作他們永遠的定例,就是作亞倫和他的後裔世世代代永遠的定例。”

做聖膏油的條例

22 耶和華對摩西說: 23 “你要取最上等的香料,就是流質的沒藥六公升,香肉桂是沒藥的一半,就是三公斤,香昌蒲三公斤。 24 肉桂皮六公斤,都要按著聖所的標準重量,又橄欖油四公斤。 25 你要把這些材料製成聖膏油,就是照著香膏配製師的方法配製成的香膏,是要作為聖膏油的。 26 你要用這膏油抹會幕和法櫃, 27 桌子和桌子的所有器具,燈臺和燈臺的器具,以及香壇, 28 燔祭壇和壇上的所有器具,盆和盆座; 29 你要使它們成聖,使它們成為至聖;凡是觸著它們的,都要成聖。 30 你也要膏抹亞倫和他的兒子,好使他們成聖,作我的祭司。 31 你要告訴以色列人說:‘你們世世代代要把這油歸我為聖膏油。 32 不可倒在常人的身上,也不可照著這配製的分量製相似的膏油;這膏油是聖的,你們也要以它為聖。 33 無論誰配製相似的膏油,或把這膏油抹在外人的身上,這人就一定要從他的族人中被剪除。’”

34 耶和華對摩西說:“你要取芬芳的香料,就是蘇合香、香錠、白松香;這芬芳的香料和純淨的乳香,各樣都要分量相等。 35 你要照著香膏配製師的方法,用這些加上鹽調和製成香,是清淨聖潔的。 36 你要取一部分香,把它研成碎末,放在會幕裡法櫃前,就是我要與你相會的地方。你們要以這香為至聖。 37 你所制的香,你們不可按著它的分量為自己配製;你要以這香為聖歸給耶和華。 38 無論誰製香和這香相似,為要聞香的味道的,這人就一定要從他的族人中被剪除。”

造香壇的條例

30 「你要用皂莢木造一座燒香用的壇。 壇是四方形的,長寬各四十五釐米,高九十釐米,上面有突出的角狀物,與壇連成一體。 壇頂、壇的四面和壇上的角狀物要包上純金,四周鑲上金邊。 要在壇兩側的金邊下面安兩個金環,使橫杠穿過金環,以便抬香壇。 要用皂莢木造橫杠,包上金。 要把香壇放在約櫃前幔子的外面,對著約櫃上的施恩座——就是我要跟你會面的地方。

「亞倫每天早上料理燈臺的時候,要在這壇上燒芬芳的香。 黃昏點燈的時候,他也要在耶和華面前燒香,世世代代都要如此。 不可在這香壇上燒別的香料,不可用這壇來獻燔祭或素祭,也不可在上面澆奠祭。 10 亞倫每年要在壇的角上行一次贖罪禮,用贖罪祭牲的血塗在壇角上,世代如此。這是耶和華至聖的壇。」

人丁的贖價

11 耶和華對摩西說: 12 「你統計以色列人口的時候,每一個被統計的男子都要繳付贖價給耶和華,贖回自己的性命,免得在統計人口期間發生災禍。 13 凡被統計的人都要付六克銀子,即十季拉,以聖所的秤為準,作為獻給耶和華的禮物。 14 凡被統計的,年齡在二十歲以上的男子都要獻此禮物給耶和華。 15 富有的不用多繳,貧窮的也不可少付,每個人都要付六克銀子,作為獻給耶和華的禮物,用來贖他們自己的性命。 16 要向以色列人收贖命的款項,供會幕使用,可以使以色列人在耶和華面前蒙眷顧,贖性命。」

洗濯盆

17 耶和華對摩西說: 18 「你用銅造一個洗濯盆和盆座,放在會幕和祭壇之間,盆裡盛著水, 19 供亞倫父子們洗手洗腳, 20 他們進會幕或在壇上獻火祭之前,一定要自潔才可以供職,免得死亡。 21 他們要洗手洗腳,免得死亡,這是亞倫和他的子孫世世代代都要守的條例。」

22 耶和華對摩西說: 23 「要以聖所的秤為準,用上等的香料,就是沒藥液六公斤、香肉桂和菖蒲各三公斤、 24 肉桂皮六公斤,再加上橄欖油四升, 25 按著調製香料的方法製作聖膏油。 26 要用這些膏油來抹會幕、約櫃、 27 桌子和桌上所有的器具、燈臺和燈臺上的器具、香壇、 28 燔祭壇和壇上所有的器具、洗濯盆和盆座。 29 你要使這一切聖潔,成為至聖之物。凡碰到它們的都會聖潔。

30 「你也要用這種油來膏亞倫父子們,使他們分別出來,做聖潔的祭司事奉我。 31 你要把我的話告訴以色列百姓,『我要世世代代以這油為聖膏油。 32 不要把這膏油用在普通人身上,也不可仿製,因為這是聖膏油,你們也要視之為聖物。 33 任何人若仿製或用這油抹祭司以外的人,要將他從民中剷除。』」

34 耶和華對摩西說:「要取各種芬芳的香料,就是蘇合香、香螺、白松香和純乳香,分量相同, 35 用調製香料的方法調製,加上鹽,做成純淨聖潔的香。 36 你們要把一些香搗成極細的粉末,放在會幕內的約櫃前面,就是我與你會面的地方,你們要視這香為至聖之物。 37 你們不可用同樣的配方為自己做香,要視它為耶和華的聖物。 38 任何人若仿製這香,自己拿來私用[a],必從民中被剷除。」

Instructions for Making the Incense Altar

30 “And you will make an altar for burning incense; you will make it of acacia wood, a cubit its length and a cubit its width—it will be square—and two cubits its height, its horns of one piece with it.[a] And you will overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around and its horns, and you will make for it a gold molding all around. And you will make two gold rings for it; under its molding on two opposite sides[b] you will make them as holders[c] for poles to carry it with them. You will make the poles of acacia wood, and you will overlay them with gold. And you will put it before the curtain that is upon the ark of the testimony, before the atonement cover, which is on the testimony, there where I will meet with you.

“And on it Aaron will turn fragrant incense into smoke; each morning[d] when he tends the lamps, he will turn it into smoke. And when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight,[e] he will turn it into smoke—incense of continuity—before Yahweh throughout your generations. You will not offer on it strange incense or a burnt offering or a grain offering, and you will not pour a libation on it. 10 And Aaron will make atonement on its horns one time in the year from the blood of the sin offering of the atonement; one time in the year he will make atonement on it throughout your generations; it is a most holy thing for Yahweh.”

Instructions for Numbering the People

11 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 When you take a census of[f] the Israelites[g] to count them, they will each give the ransom of his life for Yahweh when counting them, and a plague will not be among them when counting them. 13 This they will give, everyone who is counted,[h] the half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs per shekel. The half shekel is a contribution for Yahweh. 14 Everyone who is counted[i] from twenty years old[j] and above will give the contribution of Yahweh. 15 The rich will not give more, and the poor will not give less than the half shekel to give the contribution of Yahweh to make atonement for their lives. 16 And you will take the atonement money from the Israelites[k] and give it to the service of the tent of assembly, and it will be as a memorial for the Israelites[l] before Yahweh to make atonement for your lives.”

Instructions for Making the Basin

17 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “And you will make a basin of bronze and its bronze stand for washing, and you will put it between the tent of assembly and the altar, and you will put water there. 19 And Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and their feet with it. 20 When they come to the tent of assembly, they will wash with water so that they do not die, or when they approach the altar to serve by turning to smoke an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 21 And they will wash their hands and their feet so that they do not die, and it will be a lasting rule for them—to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.

Instructions for Making Anointing Oil and Incense

22 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “And take for yourself top quality balsam oils, five hundred shekels of flowing myrrh, half as much—two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant reed, 24 and five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the sanctuary shekel, and a hin of olive oil. 25 And you will make it into holy anointing oil, a spice blend of a fragrant ointment the work of a perfumer; it will be holy anointing oil. 26 And you will anoint with it the tent of assembly and the ark of the testimony, 27 and the table and all its equipment and the lampstand and its equipment and the incense altar, 28 and the altar of burnt offering and all its equipment and the basin and its stand. 29 And you will consecrate them, and they will be most holy things; anyone who[m] touches them will be holy. 30 And you will anoint Aaron and his sons, and you will consecrate them to serve as priests for me.

31 “And you will speak to the Israelites,[n] saying, ‘This will be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. 32 It will not be poured on human flesh, and with its measurements[o] you will not make any like it; it is holy; it will be holy to you. 33 Anyone who compounds perfume like it and who puts it on a stranger will be cut off from his people.’”

34 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Take for yourself fragrant perfumes—stacte resin and onycha and galbanum—fragrant perfumes and pure frankincense, an equal part of each,[p] 35 and make it into a compound of incense, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, holy. 36 And you will grind part of it to powder, and you will put part of it before the testimony in the tent of assembly where I will meet with you; it will be a most holy thing to you. 37 And the incense that you will make with its measurements[q] you will not make for yourselves; it will be holy to you for Yahweh. 38 Anyone who makes any like it to smell it will be cut off from his people.”
