Exodus 30:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ Every person who is ·counted [registered] must pay ·one-fifth of an ounce of silver [^Lhalf a shekel]. (·This is set by using one-half of the Holy Place measure, which weighs two-fifths of an ounce [^L…according to the shekel of the Holy Place which is twenty gerahs].) This amount is a ·gift [contribution] to the Lord. ¹⁴ Every person who is ·counted [registered] and is twenty years old or older must give this ·amount [gift; contribution] to the Lord. ¹⁵ A rich person must not give more than ·one-fifth of an ounce [^La half shekel], and a poor person must not give less. You are ·paying this to the Lord to buy back your lives [giving a gift/contribution to the Lord as a ransom/atonement for your life].
