Exodus 30:11-16
International Standard Version
Offerings for the Tent
11 The Lord told Moses, 12 “When you take a census of the Israelis to register them, each is to give a ransom for himself[a] to the Lord when they’re registered so there won’t be a plague among them when they’re registered. 13 This is what everyone who is registered[b] is to give: half a shekel[c] according to the shekel[d] of the sanctuary (the shekel[e] weighs 20 gerahs), half a shekel[f] as a contribution to the Lord. 14 All who are registered, 20 years of age and older, are to give a contribution to the Lord. 15 The rich person is not to give more,[g] nor is the poor person to give less[h] than the half shekel,[i] when you give a contribution to the Lord to make atonement for yourselves.[j] 16 You are to take the atonement money from the Israelis and give it for the service of the Tent of Meeting, and it is to be a memorial for the Israelis in the Lord’s presence to make atonement for yourselves.”[k]
