New American Standard Bible 1995

The Altar of Incense

30 “Moreover, you shall make (A)an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood. 2 Its length shall be a [a]cubit, and its width a cubit, it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be [b]of one piece with it. 3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its [c]sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it. 4 You shall make two gold rings for it under its molding; you shall make them on its two side walls—on [d]opposite sides—and [e]they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it. 5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 6 You shall put [f]this altar in front of the veil that is [g]near the ark of the testimony, in front of the [h](B)mercy seat that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you. 7 Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; he shall burn it every morning when he trims the lamps. 8 When Aaron [i]trims the lamps at [j]twilight, he shall burn incense. There shall be perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. 9 You shall not offer any strange incense on [k]this altar, or burnt offering or meal offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering on it. 10 Aaron shall (C)make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”

11 The Lord also spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “When you take (D)a [l]census of the sons of Israel [m]to number them, then each one of them shall give (E)a ransom for [n]himself to the Lord, when you [o]number them, so that there will be no plague among them when you [p]number them. 13 This is what everyone who [q]is numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary ((F)the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a [r]contribution to the Lord. 14 Everyone who [s]is numbered, from twenty years old and over, shall give the [t]contribution to the Lord. 15 The rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than the half shekel, when you give the [u]contribution to the Lord to make atonement for [v]yourselves. 16 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 memorial for the sons of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for [w]yourselves.”

17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “You shall also make (G)a laver of [x]bronze, with its base of bronze, for washing; and you shall (H)put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons shall (I)wash their hands and their feet from it; 20 when they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they will not die; or when they approach the altar to minister, by offering up in smoke a fire sacrifice to the Lord. 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they will not die; and (J)it shall be a perpetual statute for them, for [y]Aaron and his [z]descendants throughout their generations.”

The Anointing Oil

22 Moreover, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, two hundred and fifty, and of fragrant cane two hundred and fifty, 24 and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin. 25 You shall make [aa]of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume mixture, the work of a perfumer; it shall be (K)a holy anointing oil. 26 With it (L)you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, 27 and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, 28 and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand. 29 You shall also consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy. 30 (M)You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister as priests to Me. 31 You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32 It shall not be poured on [ab]anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in [ac]the same proportions; (N)it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33 (O)Whoever shall mix any like it or whoever puts any of it on a [ad]layman [ae](P)shall be cut off from his people.’”

The Incense

34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. 35 With it you shall make incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36 You shall beat some of it very fine, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting (Q)where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. 37 The incense which you shall make, (R)you shall not make in [af]the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the Lord. 38 (S)Whoever shall make any like it, to [ag]use as perfume, [ah]shall be cut off from his people.”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

造香坛的条例

30 “你要用皂荚木造一座烧香用的坛。 2 坛是四方形的，长宽各四十五厘米，高九十厘米，上面有突出的角状物，与坛连成一体。 3 坛顶、坛的四面和坛上的角状物要包上纯金，四周镶上金边。 4 要在坛两侧的金边下面安两个金环，使横杠穿过金环，以便抬香坛。 5 要用皂荚木造横杠，包上金。 6 要把香坛放在约柜前幔子的外面，对着约柜上的施恩座——就是我要跟你会面的地方。

7 “亚伦每天早上料理灯台的时候，要在这坛上烧芬芳的香。 8 黄昏点灯的时候，他也要在耶和华面前烧香，世世代代都要如此。 9 不可在这香坛上烧别的香料，不可用这坛来献燔祭或素祭，也不可在上面浇奠祭。 10 亚伦每年要在坛的角上行一次赎罪礼，用赎罪祭牲的血涂在坛角上，世代如此。这是耶和华至圣的坛。”

人丁的赎价

11 耶和华对摩西说： 12 “你统计以色列人口的时候，每一个被统计的男子都要缴付赎价给耶和华，赎回自己的性命，免得在统计人口期间发生灾祸。 13 凡被统计的人都要付六克银子，即十季拉，以圣所的秤为准，作为献给耶和华的礼物。 14 凡被统计的，年龄在二十岁以上的男子都要献此礼物给耶和华。 15 富有的不用多缴，贫穷的也不可少付，每个人都要付六克银子，作为献给耶和华的礼物，用来赎他们自己的性命。 16 要向以色列人收赎命的款项，供会幕使用，可以使以色列人在耶和华面前蒙眷顾，赎性命。”

洗濯盆

17 耶和华对摩西说： 18 “你用铜造一个洗濯盆和盆座，放在会幕和祭坛之间，盆里盛着水， 19 供亚伦父子们洗手洗脚， 20 他们进会幕或在坛上献火祭之前，一定要自洁才可以供职，免得死亡。 21 他们要洗手洗脚，免得死亡，这是亚伦和他的子孙世世代代都要守的条例。”

22 耶和华对摩西说： 23 “要以圣所的秤为准，用上等的香料，就是没药液六公斤、香肉桂和菖蒲各三公斤、 24 肉桂皮六公斤，再加上橄榄油四升， 25 按着调制香料的方法制作圣膏油。 26 要用这些膏油来抹会幕、约柜、 27 桌子和桌上所有的器具、灯台和灯台上的器具、香坛、 28 燔祭坛和坛上所有的器具、洗濯盆和盆座。 29 你要使这一切圣洁，成为至圣之物。凡碰到它们的都会圣洁。

30 “你也要用这种油来膏亚伦父子们，使他们分别出来，做圣洁的祭司事奉我。 31 你要把我的话告诉以色列百姓，‘我要世世代代以这油为圣膏油。 32 不要把这膏油用在普通人身上，也不可仿制，因为这是圣膏油，你们也要视之为圣物。 33 任何人若仿制或用这油抹祭司以外的人，要将他从民中铲除。’”

34 耶和华对摩西说：“要取各种芬芳的香料，就是苏合香、香螺、白松香和纯乳香，分量相同， 35 用调制香料的方法调制，加上盐，做成纯净圣洁的香。 36 你们要把一些香捣成极细的粉末，放在会幕内的约柜前面，就是我与你会面的地方，你们要视这香为至圣之物。 37 你们不可用同样的配方为自己做香，要视它为耶和华的圣物。 38 任何人若仿制这香，自己拿来私用[a]，必从民中被铲除。”
