30:1 The incense altar

(Exo. 37:25-28)

30You must make an altar out of acacia word for burning incense on. 2It should be square—half a metre on each side—and a metre high. Make projections that look like horns on top out of that same block of wood. 3It must be overlaid with pure gold—its top and all around its sides and its projections—plus you shall make a gold moulding all around it. 4Make two gold rings and attach them to the altar below the moulding—one on each side to hold the poles for carrying it with. 5Make the two poles from acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 6Put this incense altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest—the box containing the stone slabs and with a platform on it where I will meet with you.

7Aharon must burn fragrant incense on this altar every morning when he looks after the lamps 8and again every evening when he lights the lamps, so incense must be continually burning before me throughout your generations. 9Don’t offer up any incense or burnt offering or grain offering on it that’s different from these instructions, and don’t pour a drink offering on it. 10Once a year, Aharon must take the purifying blood from the annual atonement sacrifice and put it on the projections of the altar to compensate for the altar’s imperfection. Each high priest will cover the altar’s flaws this way throughout all future generations. The altar will be very sacred—dedicated to me.

30and_make an_altar a_place_of_smoke of_incense wood(s) of_acacia you_will_make DOM_him/it.
2[will_be]_a_cubit long_its and_cubit wide_its square it_will_be and_cubits high_its from_him/it horns_its.
3And_overlay DOM_him/it gold pure DOM top_its and_DOM sides_its all_around and_DOM horns_its and_make for_him/it a_moulding of_gold all_around.
4And_two rings of_gold you_will_make for_him/it from_under to_moulding_its on the_two sides_its you_will_make_[them] on the_two sides_it and_it_was as_holders for_poles to_carry DOM_him/it in/on/at/with_which.
5And_make DOM the_poles wood(s) of_acacia and_overlay DOM_them gold.
6And_you(ms)_will_give DOM_him/it to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_curtain which [is]_on the_ark the_transcript to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_mercy_seat which [is]_on the_transcript where I_will_meet to/for_yourself(m) there_at.
7And_burn on/upon/above_him/it ʼAhₐron incense of_perfume(s) in/on/at/with_morning in/on/at/with_morning in/on/at/with_tends_he DOM the_lamps burn_it.
8And_in/on/at/with_sets_up ʼAhₐron DOM the_lamps between the_twilight burn_it incense of_continuity to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH throughout_generations_your_all’s.
9Not you_all_must_offer_up on/upon/above_him/it incense strange and_burnt_offering and_grain_offering and_drink_offering not you_all_must_pour_out on/upon/above_him/it.
10And_make_atonement ʼAhₐron on horns_its one_[time] in/on/at/with_year with_blood of_the_sin_offering the_atonement one_[time] in/on/at/with_year he_will_make_atonement on/upon/above_him/it throughout_generations_your_all’s [is]_holiness of_holiness(es) it to/for_YHWH.

30:11 The tax for making the tent

11Then Yahweh told Mosheh: 12Whenever you take a census of the Israeli men, each man must pay a ransom to Yahweh for his life when they’re counted, and then the counting won’t cause a plague among them. 13As each man crosses over to stand with those who’ve been counted, he must pay give a half-shekel coin as an offering to me. (That’s half of the official shekel weight of 12 grams.)[ref] 14Every man who’s twenty or older must pay this contribution to me when he’s counted— 15the wealthy aren’t expected to pay more, and the poor must not pass less than this amount when they pay this ransom to me to make atonement for your lives. 16Then you must take that money from the Israelis and use it for work on the sacred tent—it will be a reminder to me that you all have made atonement for your lives.

11and_he/it_spoke YHWH to Mosheh to_saying.
12If/because you_will_lift_up DOM the_head of_the_people of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel)[fn] to_register_them and_give everyone the_ransom life_his to/for_YHWH in/on/at/with_number DOM_them and_not it_will_be in/among_them a_plague in/on/at/with_number DOM_them.
13This they_will_pay every the_crosses_over to the_registered the_half the_shekel in/on/at/with_shekel the_sanctuary [is]_twenty gerah[s] the_shekel (the)_half the_shekel [is]_a_contribution to/for_YHWH.
14Every the_cross_over to the_registered from_son_of of_twenty year[s] and_upward he_will_pay the_contribution of_YHWH.
15The_rich not he_will_make_much and_the_poor not he_will_make_little than_half the_shekel when_give DOM the_contribution of_YHWH to_make_atonement on lives_your_all’s.
16And_take DOM the_money the_atonement from the_people of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_give DOM_him/it on the_service of_the_tent of_meeting and_it_was for_sons of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) as_memorial to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH to_make_atonement on lives_your_all’s.

30:17 The washbasin

17The Yahweh told Mosheh: 18Make a bronze washbasin with a bronze base. Place it between the sacred tent and the altar, and fill it with water[ref] 19and Aharon and his sons must wash their hands and feet in it. 20Before they go into the sacred tent, they must wash with water so that won’t die, and also when they’re going to the altar to burn offerings to me 21they must wash their hands and feet so they won’t die. This will be a rule for them and for all their descendants throughout the generations.

17and_he/it_spoke YHWH to Mosheh to_saying.
18And_make a_laver of_bronze and_stand_its bronze for_washing and_put DOM_him/it between the_tent of_meeting and_between the_altar and_put it_in water.
19And_wash ʼAhₐron and_sons_his from_him/it DOM hands_their and_DOM feet_their.
20In/on/at/with_go_they into the_tent of_meeting they_will_wash water and_not they_will_die or in/on/at/with_approach_they to the_altar to_minister by_burning a_fire_offering to/for_YHWH.
21And_wash hands_their and_feet_their and_not they_will_die and_be to/for_them a_decree of_perpetuity to_him/it and_to_descendants_his throughout_generations_their.

30:22 The anointing oil

22Then Yahweh told Mosheh:[ref] 23Then you yourself must collect these spices: 6kg of fragrant sap named myrrh, then 3kg of fragrant cinnamon, 3kg of fragrant cane, 24and 6kg of fragrant casia bark. (Use the official weight for everything.) Also, four litres of olive oil. 25Get a professional perfumer to make this into a sacred, fragrant, anointing oil. 26Use it to anoint the sacred tent and the box containing the stone slabs, 27as well as the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the incense altar, 28the altar for burnt offerings and all its equipment, and the basin and its base. 29That will make them sacred and dedicated to me, and anything that touches them will also become sacred.

30Then anoint Aharon and his sons, and dedicate them to become my priests. 31Approach the Israelis and tell them, “This recipe will be my sacred anointing oil for all generations. 32It must not be poured on anyone’s body, and you all must not use any similar recipe for yourselves—it’s sacred and must be treated as such. 33Anyone who mixes together anything like that, or who puts any of it on a stranger, must be expelled from the community.

22and_he/it_spoke YHWH to Mosheh to_saying.
23And_you(ms) take to/for_yourself(m) spices [the]_best myrrh of_flowing five hundred(s) and_cinnamon of_spice half_him fifty and_hundred and_cane of_spice fifty and_hundred.
24And_cassia five hundred(s) in/on/at/with_shekel the_sanctuary and_oil of_olive[s] a_hin.
25And_make DOM_him/it oil of_anointing of_holiness ointment of_an_ointment_mixture [the]_work of_a_perfumer oil of_anointing of_holiness it_will_be.
26And_anoint in_him/it DOM the_tent of_meeting and_DOM the_ark the_transcript.
27And_DOM the_table and_DOM all utensils_its and_DOM the_lampstand and_DOM utensils_its and_DOM the_altar the_incense.
28And_DOM the_altar the_burnt_offering and_DOM all utensils_its and_DOM the_basin and_DOM stand_its.
29And_consecrate DOM_them and_they_will_be holiness of_holiness(es) every the_touches (is)_in_them it_will_be_holy.
30And_DOM ʼAhₐron and_DOM sons_his you_will_anoint and_consecrate DOM_them to_serve_aspriests to_me.
31And_near/to the_people of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) you_will_speak to_say oil of_anointing of_holiness it_will_be this to_me throughout_generations_your_all’s.
32On [the]_body of_a_person not it_will_be_poured and_in/on/at/with_formula_its not you_all_must_make like_it [is]_a_holy_thing it a_holy_thing it_will_be to_you_all.
33Anyone who he_will_mix like_it and_which he_will_put from_him/it on a_stranger and_cut_off from_people_his.

30:34 The incense

34Then Yahweh told Mosheh: Collect equal amounts of stacte, onycha, and galbanum spices, and pure frankincense, 35and get a professional ointment mixer to add salt and make it into pure incense that will be sacred. 36Pulverise some of it into a fine powder and put it in front of the box containing the stone slabs inside the sacred tent. This incense must be regarded as being very sacred. 37No one else should make any incense for yourselves with this same recipe—it must be regarded as sacred to me. 38Anyone who makes anything similar for its fragrance must be expelled from the community.


34and_he/it_said YHWH to Mosheh take to/for_yourself(m) spices stacte and_onycha and_galbanum spices and_frankincense pure a_part in/on/at/with_amount it_will_be.
35And_make DOM_her/it incense ointment [the]_work of_a_perfumer salted pure a_holy_thing.
36And_beat from_her/it finely_(pulverize) and_you(ms)_will_give from_her/it to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_transcript in/on/at/with_tent of_meeting where I_will_meet to/for_yourself(m)  there_at holiness of_holiness(es) it_will_be to_you_all.
37And_the_incense which you_will_make in/on/at/with_formula_its not you_all_must_make to/for_you_all a_holy_thing it_will_be to/for_yourself(m) to/for_YHWH.
38Anyone who he_will_make like_it to_use_as_perfume in/on/at/with_it and_cut_off from_people_his.
