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.”

Instructions for Numbering the People
11 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “When you take a census of[a] the Israelites[b] 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,[c] 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[d] from twenty years old[e] 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[f] and give it to the service of the tent of assembly, and it will be as a memorial for the Israelites[g] before Yahweh to make atonement for your lives.”
