Éxodo 30
Catholic Public Domain Version
1“You shall also make an altar, for the burning of incense, from setim wood,
2having one cubit in length, and another in width, that is, four equal sides, and two cubits in height. Horns shall proceed from the same.
3And you shall clothe it with the purest gold, both its grating and the walls around it, and also the horns. And you shall make for it a crown of gold in a circle,
4and two gold rings under the crown on each side, so that the bars may be set in them and the altar may be carried.
5Also, you shall make its bars of setim wood, and you shall overlay them with gold.
6And you shall set the altar opposite the veil, which hangs in front of the ark of the testimony, before the propitiatory with which the testimony is covered, where I will speak to you.
7And Aaron shall burn incense upon it, a sweet fragrance, in the morning. When he lights the lamps, he shall burn it.
8And when he assembles them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
9You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition, nor an oblation, nor a victim; neither shall you offer libations.
10And Aaron shall pray over its horns once a year, with the blood of what was offered for sin. And he shall make atonement over it in your generations. It shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.”
11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12“When you have taken the sum of the sons of Israel, according to their number, each shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there will be no scourge among them, when they will be reviewed.
13Then all those who pass shall give by name: one half shekel, according to the measure at the temple. A shekel has twenty obols. The half part of a shekel shall be offered to the Lord.
14He who has been numbered from twenty years and above shall give the price.
15The rich shall not add to the half shekel, and the poor shall diminish nothing.
16And the money received, which was collected from the sons of Israel, you shall deliver for the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may act favorably toward their souls.”
17And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18“You shall also make a bronze washtub with its base to wash in; and you shall place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And when water has been added,
19Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:
20when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach to the altar so as to offer incense to the Lord upon it,
21otherwise, they may die. This shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his offspring, throughout their successions.”
22And the Lord spoke to Moses,
23saying: “Take for yourself aromatics: of the first and best myrrh, five hundred shekels, and of cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels; of sweet flag similarly two hundred and fifty,
24but of cassia, five hundred shekels by the weight of the sanctuary, and of the oil of olives the measure of a hin.
25And you shall make the holy oil of unction, an ointment composed with the skills of a perfumer,
26and with it you shall anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,
27and the table with its vessels, and the lampstand and its utensils, the altars of incense
28and of holocaust, and all the items that pertain to their rituals.
29And you shall sanctify everything, and they shall be the Holy of holies. He who will touch them must be sanctified.
30You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
31Likewise, you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘This oil of unction will be holy to me throughout your generations.
32The flesh of man shall not be anointed from it, and you shall not make any similar compound, for it has been sanctified and it shall be holy to you.
33Whatever man will have composed such a thing and have given it to a stranger, he shall be exterminated from his people.’ ”
34And the Lord said to Moses: “Take to yourself aromatics: stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet odor, and the clearest frankincense, all these shall be of equal weight.
35And you shall make incense composed with the skills of a perfumer, diligently mixed, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.
36And when you have crushed all these into a very fine powder, you shall place some of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to you. The Holy of holies shall this incense be to you.
37You shall not make such a compound for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.
38Whatever man will have made anything similar, so as to thoroughly enjoy its smell, he shall perish from his people.”
Reina-Valera 1909
1HARÁS asimismo un altar de sahumerio de perfume: de madera de Sittim lo harás.
2Su longitud será de un codo, y su anchura de un codo: será cuadrado: y su altura de dos codos: y sus cuernos serán de lo mismo.
3Y cubrirlo has de oro puro, su techado, y sus paredes en derredor, y sus cuernos: y le harás en derredor una corona de oro.
4Le harás también dos anillos de oro debajo de su corona á sus dos esquinas en ambos lados suyos, para meter los varales con que será llevado.
5Y harás los varales de madera de Sittim, y los cubrirás de oro.
6Y lo pondrás delante del velo que está junto al arca del testimonio, delante de la cubierta que está sobre el testimonio, donde yo te testificaré de mí.
7Y quemará sobre él Aarón sahumerio de aroma cada mañana: cuando aderezare las lámparas lo quemará.
8Y cuando Aarón encenderá las lámparas al anochecer, quemará el sahumerio: rito perpetuo delante de Jehová por vuestras edades.
9No ofreceréis sobre él sahumerio extraño, ni holocausto, ni presente; ni tampoco derramaréis sobre él libación.
10Y sobre sus cuernos hará Aarón expiación una vez en el año con la sangre de la expiación para las reconciliaciones: una vez en el año hará expiación sobre él en vuestras edades: será muy santo á Jehová.
11Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
12Cuando tomares el número de los hijos de Israel conforme á la cuenta de ellos, cada uno dará á Jehová el rescate de su persona, cuando los contares, y no habrá en ellos mortandad por haberlos contado.
13Esto dará cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, medio siclo conforme al siclo del santuario. El siclo es de veinte óbolos: la mitad de un siclo será la ofrenda á Jehová.
14Cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, de veinte años arriba, dará la ofrenda á Jehová.
15Ni el rico aumentará, ni el pobre disminuirá de medio siclo, cuando dieren la ofrenda á Jehová para hacer expiación por vuestras personas.
16Y tomarás de los hijos de Israel el dinero de las expiaciones, y lo darás para la obra del tabernáculo del testimonio: y será por memoria á los hijos de Israel delante de Jehová, para expiar vuestras personas.
17Habló más Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
18Harás también una fuente de metal, con su basa de metal, para lavar; y la has de poner entre el tabernáculo del testimonio y el altar; y pondrás en ella agua.
19Y de ella se lavarán Aarón y sus hijos sus manos y sus pies:
20Cuando entraren en el tabernáculo del testimonio, se han de lavar con agua, y no morirán: y cuando se llegaren al altar para ministrar, para encender á Jehová la ofrenda que se ha de consumir al fuego,
21También se lavarán las manos y los pies, y no morirán. Y lo tendrán por estatuto perpetuo él y su simiente por sus generaciones.
22Habló más Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
23Y tú has de tomar de las principales drogas; de mirra excelente quinientos siclos, y de canela aromática la mitad, esto es, doscientos y cincuenta, y de cálamo aromático doscientos y cincuenta,
24Y de casia quinientos, al peso del santuario, y de aceite de olivas un hin:
25Y harás de ello el aceite de la santa unción, superior ungüento, obra de perfumador, el cual será el aceite de la unción sagrada.
26Con él ungirás el tabernáculo del testimonio, y el arca del testimonio,
27Y la mesa, y todos sus vasos, y el candelero, y todos sus vasos, y el altar del perfume,
28Y el altar del holocausto, todos sus vasos, y la fuente y su basa.
29Así los consagrarás, y serán cosas santísimas: todo lo que tocare en ellos, será santificado.
30Ungirás también á Aarón y á sus hijos, y los consagrarás para que sean mis sacerdotes.
31Y hablarás á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Este será mi aceite de la santa unción por vuestras edades.
32Sobre carne de hombre no será untado, ni haréis otro semejante, conforme á su composición: santo es; por santo habéis de tenerlo vosotros.
33Cualquiera que compusiere ungüento semejante, y que pusiere de él sobre extraño, será cortado de sus pueblos.
34Dijo aún Jehová á Moisés: Tómate aromas, estacte y uña olorosa y gálbano aromático é incienso limpio; de todo en igual peso:
35Y harás de ello una confección aromática de obra de perfumador, bien mezclada, pura y santa:
36Y molerás alguna de ella pulverizándola, y la pondrás delante del testimonio en el tabernáculo del testimonio, donde yo te testificaré de mí. Os será cosa santísima.
37Como la confección que harás, no os haréis otra según su composición: te será cosa sagrada para Jehová.
38Cualquiera que hiciere otra como ella para olerla, será cortado de sus pueblos.
King James Version
1And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
2A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
3And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
4And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
5And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
8And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
9Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
10And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.
11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
13This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
14Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
16And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
17And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
19For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
20When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
21So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
24And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
25And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
26And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
27And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
28And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
29And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
30And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
31And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
32Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
33Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
34And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
35And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
36And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
38Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.

2Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
3You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.
4You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

10Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD.”
11The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12“When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are counted among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to the LORD when you count them, that there be no plague among them when you count them.
13They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are counted, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs); half a shekel for an offering to the LORD.
14Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to the LORD.
15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.
16You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.”
17The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18“You shall also make a basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.
20When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they don’t die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the LORD.
21So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. This shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”
22Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23“Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
24and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.
25You shall make it into a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant,
27the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense,
28the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.
29You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
31You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
32It shall not be poured on man’s flesh, and do not make any like it, according to its composition. It is holy. It shall be holy to you.
33Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”
34The LORD said to Moses, “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, onycha, and galbanum: sweet spices with pure frankincense. There shall be an equal weight of each.
35You shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36You shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the covenant in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.
37You shall not make this incense, according to its composition, for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for the LORD.
38Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
