⁵⁰ Therefore we have brought an offering for the Lord, what every man found of ornaments of gold: armlets and bracelets and signet rings and earrings and necklaces, ^(A)to make ^[a]atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”

^12 (A)“When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give ^(B)a^[a] ransom for himself to the Lord, when you number them, that there may be no ^(C)plague among them when you number them.

¹⁵ The ^(A)rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an offering to the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves. ¹⁶ And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and ^(B)shall ^[a]appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be ^(C)a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.”

¹¹ For the ^(A)life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar ^(B)to make atonement for your souls; for ^(C)it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’
