Liber Exodus

Exodus, chapter 30, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 30 Vulgate

   1 Facies quoque altare ad adolendum thymiama de lignis acaciae
   2 habens cubitum longitudinis et alterum latitudinis, id est quadrangulum, et duos cubitos in altitudine; cornua ex ipso procedent.
   3 Vestiesque illud auro purissimo, tam craticulam eius quam parietes per circuitum et cornua. Faciesque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum
   4 et duos anulos aureos sub corona in duobus lateribus, ut mittantur in eos vectes, et altare portetur.
   5 Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis acaciae et inaurabis.
   6 Ponesque altare contra velum, quod ante arcam pendet testimonii, coram propitiatorio, quo tegitur testimonium, ubi conveniam ad te.
   7 Et adolebit incensum super eo Aaron suave fragrans mane. Quando componet lucernas, incendet illud;
   8 et quando collocabit eas ad vesperum, uret thymiama sempiternum coram Domino in generationes vestras.
   9 Non offeretis super eo thymiama compositionis alterius nec holocaustum nec oblationem, nec libabitis libamina.
   10 Et expiabit Aaron super cornua eius semel per annum in sanguine sacrificii pro peccato; et placabit super eo in generationibus vestris: sanctum sanctorum erit Domino"
   11 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:
   12 "Quando tuleris summam filiorum Israel iuxta numerum, dabunt singuli pretium expiationis pro animabus suis Domino; et non erit plaga in eis, cum fuerint recensiti.
   13 Hoc autem dabit omnis, qui transit ad censum, dimidium sicli iuxta mensuram sanctuarii siclus viginti obolos habet ; media pars sicli offeretur Domino.
   14 Qui habetur in numero a viginti annis et supra, dabit pretium;
   15 dives non addet ad medium sicli, et pauper nihil minuet, quando dabitis oblationem Domino in expiationem animarum vestrarum.
   16 Susceptamque expiationis pecuniam, quae collata est a filiis Israel, trades in usus tabernaculi conventus, ut sit monumentum eorum coram Domino et propitietur animabus illorum"
   17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:
   18 "Facies et labrum aeneum cum basi aenea ad lavandum; ponesque illud inter tabernaculum conventus et altare. Et, missa aqua,
   19 lavabunt in eo Aaron et filii eius manus suas ac pedes.
   20 Quando ingressuri sunt tabernaculum conventus, lavabunt se aqua, ne moriantur; vel quando accessuri sunt ad altare, ut ministrent, ut adoleant victimam Domino.
   21 Et lavabunt manus et pedes, ne moriantur: legitimum sempiternum erit, ipsi et semini eius per successiones"
   22 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen
   23 dicens: "Sume tibi aromata prima myrrhae electae quingentos siclos et cinnamomi boni odoris medium, id est ducentos quinquaginta siclos, calami suave olentis similiter ducentos quinquaginta,
   24 casiae autem quingentos siclos, in pondere sanctuarii, olei de olivetis mensuram hin.
   25 Faciesque unctionis oleum sanctum, unguentum compositum opere unguentarii; unctionis oleum sanctum erit.
   26 Et unges ex eo tabernaculum conventus et arcam testamenti
   27 mensamque cum vasis suis, candelabrum et utensilia eius, altaria thymiamatis
   28 et holocausti et universam supellectilem, quae ad cultum eorum pertinet, et labrum cum basi sua.
   29 Sanctificabisque omnia, et erunt sancta sanctorum: qui tetigerit ea, sanctificabitur.
   30 Aaron et filios eius unges sanctificabisque eos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
   31 Filiis quoque Israel dices: Hoc oleum unctionis sanctum erit mihi in generationes vestras.
   32 Caro hominis non ungetur ex eo, et iuxta compositionem eius non facietis aliud, quia sanctum est et sanctum erit vobis.
   33 Homo quicumque tale composuerit et dederit ex eo super alienum, exterminabitur de populo suo"
   34 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: "Sume tibi aromata, stacten et onycha, galbanum boni odoris et tus lucidissimum; aequalis ponderis erunt omnia.
   35 Faciesque thymiama compositum opere unguentarii, sale conditum et purum et sanctum.
   36 Cumque in tenuissimum pulverem ex parte contuderis, pones ex eo coram testimonio in tabernaculo conventus, in quo conveniam ad te: sanctum sanctorum erit vobis thymiama.
   37 Talem compositionem non facietis in usus vestros, quia tibi sanctum erit pro Domino;
   38 homo quicumque fecerit simile, ut odore illius perfruatur, peribit de populis suis"

King James Version

   1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
   2 A 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.
   3 And 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.
   4 And 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.
   5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
   6 And 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.
   7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
   8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
   9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
   10 And 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.
   11 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   12 When 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.
   13 This 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.
   14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
   15 The 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.
   16 And 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.
   17 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   18 Thou 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.
   19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
   20 When 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:
   21 So 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.
   22 ¶ Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   23 Take 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,
   24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
   25 And 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.
   26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
   27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
   28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
   29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
   30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
   31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
   32 Upon 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.
   33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
   34 ¶ And 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:
   35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
   36 And 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.
   37 And 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.
   38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
