15. The rich must not give more and the poor must not give less than half a shekel when they give the offering to the Lord, to make atonement for your lives.
16. You must take the atonement money of the children of Israel and give it for the service of the tent of meeting, so that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for your lives.
17. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18. You must also make a basin of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing, and you must put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you must put water in it.
19. For Aaron and his sons must wash their hands and their feet from it.
20. When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister by burning incense as an offering made by fire to the Lord, they must wash with water so that they will not die.
21. So they must wash their hands and their feet, so that they will not die. And it will be a perpetual statute for them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22. Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23. Take for yourself choice spices: five hundred shekels of pure myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane,
24. five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
25. And you must make with it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed compound, the work of a perfumer. It will be a holy anointing oil.
26. And you must anoint the tent of meeting with it, along with 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 with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand.
29. You must consecrate them, so that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them must be holy.
30. You must anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them, so that they may minister as priests to Me.
