Exodus 30:11-16
Legacy Standard Bible
The Census and the Atonement Price
11 Yahweh also spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “When you take (A)a [a]census of the sons of Israel [b]to number them, then each one of them shall give (B)a price of atonement for [c]himself to Yahweh when you [d]number them, so that there will be no plague among them when you [e]number them. 13 This is what everyone who [f]is numbered shall give: half a [g]shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary ((C)the shekel is twenty [h]gerahs), half a shekel as a [i]contribution to Yahweh. 14 Everyone who [j]is numbered, from twenty years old and over, shall give the [k]contribution to Yahweh. 15 The rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than the half shekel when you give the [l]contribution to Yahweh to make atonement for your souls. 16 And you shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel and shall give it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a remembrance for the sons of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.”
