¹ Thou shalt make also an altar to burn incense, of setim wood.

² It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is, foursquare, and two in height. Horns shall go out of the same.

³ And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, as well as the grate thereof, as the walls round about and the horns. And thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about,

⁴ And two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars may be put into them, and the altar be carried.

⁵ And thou shalt make the bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

⁶ And thou shalt set the altar over against the veil, that hangeth before the ark of the testimony before the propitiatory wherewith the testimony is covered, where I will speak to thee.

⁷ And Aaron shall burn sweet smelling incense upon it in the morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:

⁸ And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.

⁹ You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations.

¹⁰ And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the blood of that which was offered for sin, and shall make atonement upon it in your generations. It shall be most holy to the Lord.

¹¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹² When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.

¹³ And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty obols. Half a sicle shall be offered to the Lord.

¹⁴ He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards, shall give the price.

¹⁵ The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, and the poor man shall diminish nothing.

¹⁶ And the money received which was contributed by the children of Israel, thou shalt deliver unto the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may be merciful to their souls.

¹⁷ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁸ Thou shalt make also a brazen laver with its foot, to wash in: and thou shalt set it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And water being put into it,

¹⁹ Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:

²⁰ When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord,

²¹ Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by successions.

²² And the Lord spoke to Moses,

²³ Saying: Take spices, of principal and chosen myrrh five hundred sicles, and of cinnamon half so much, that is, two hundred and fifty sicles, of calamus in like manner two hundred and fifty.

²⁴ And of cassia five hundred sicles by the weight of the sanctuary, of oil of olives the measure hin:

²⁵ And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded after the art of the perfumer,

²⁶ And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,

²⁷ And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and furniture thereof, the altars of incense,

²⁸ And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the service of them.

²⁹ And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified.

³⁰ Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.

³¹ And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me throughout your generations.

³² The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall make none other of the same composition, because it is sanctified, and shall be holy unto you.

³³ What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

³⁴ And the Lord said to Moses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all shall be of equal weight.

³⁵ And thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of the perfumer, well tempered together, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.

³⁶ And when thou has beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt set of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to thee. Most holy shall this incense be to you.

³⁷ You shall not make such a composition for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.

³⁸ What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof, he shall perish out of his people.

¹ He brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward; (for the forefront of the house was toward the east;) and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.

² Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of [the gate] that looks toward the east; and behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

³ When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.

⁴ Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through [the waters], waters that were to the waist.

⁵ Afterward he measured one thousand; [and it was] a river that I could not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.

⁶ He said to me, Son of man, have you seen [this]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.

⁷ Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

⁸ Then he said to me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea [shall the waters go] which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.

⁹ It shall happen, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come there, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and everything shall live wherever the river comes.

¹⁰ It shall happen, that fishermen shall stand by it: from En Gedi even to En Eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

¹¹ But the miry places of it, and its marshes, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.

¹² By the river on its bank, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall its fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing.

¹³ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This shall be the border, by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall have two] portions.

¹⁴ You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.

¹⁵ This shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;

¹⁶ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

¹⁷ The border from the sea, shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

¹⁸ The east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the [north] border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

¹⁹ The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], to the great sea. This is the south side southward.

²⁰ The west side shall be the great sea, from the [south] border as far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.

²¹ So you shall divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel.

²² It shall happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who shall father children among you; and they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

²³ It shall happen, that in what tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance, says the Lord Yahweh.
