THE ALTAR OF SWETE PERFVME.

This altar was one cubite long, and one cubite broad, and in height was two cubites: the rest may be vnder∣stand by the for∣med figures.

4 Besides this thou shalt make vnder this crowne two golden rings on ether side: (euē) on euerie side shalt thou make (them) that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 may be as places for the barres to beare it with all.

5 The which barres thou shalt make of Shit∣tim wood, and shalt couer them with golde.

6 After thou shalt set itc 1.4 before the vaile, that is nere the Arke of Testimonie, before the Merciseat that is vpon the Testimonie, where I wil appoint with thee.

7 And Aarón shal burne thereon swete incen∣se euerie morning: when hed 1.5 dresseth the lampes thereof, shal he burne it.

8 Like wise at euen, when Aarón setteth vp the lampes thereof, he shal burne incense: (this) perfum (shalbe) perpetually before the Lord throughout your generations.

9 Ye shal offre noe 1.6 strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offring, netherpowre 〈◊〉〈◊〉 drinke offringf 1.7 thereon.

10 And Aarōn shal make reconciliation vpon the hornes of it once in a yere with the blood of the sinne offring (in the day) of reconcilia∣tion: once in the yere shal he make reconci∣liation vpon it throughout your generations this is moste holy vnto the Lord.

11 Afterward the Lord spake vnto Mosés, saying,

12 * When thou takest the summe of the chil∣dren* 1.8 of Israél after their nombre, then they shal giue euerie mang 1.9 a redemption of his life vnto the Lord, when thou tellest thē, that there be no plague among them when thou countest them.

13 This shal euerie man giue, that goeth into the nombre, half a shekel, after theh 1.10 shekel* 1.11 of the Sanctuarie: [* a shekel (is) twenty ge∣ráhs] the halfe shekel (shalbe) an offring to the Lord.

14 Al that are nombred from twenty yere olde and aboue, shal giue an offring to the Lord.

15 The riche shal not passe, and the poore shal* 1.12 not diminish from halfe a shekel, when ye* 1.13 shal giue an offring vnto the Lord,i 1.14 for the redemption of your liues.

16 So thou shalt take the money of the redem∣ption of the children of Israél, and shalt put it vnto the vse of the Tabernacle of the Con gregacion, that it may be a memorial vnto the children of Israél before the Lord for the redemption of your liues.

THE LAVER OF BRASSE.

A The fundation or fote of the Lauer.

B The Lauer, Because Mosés describeth not the maner of this Lauer, this figure is made after the facion of Salomons. which semeth to be moste agreable to this, 1. King 7. 38. saue in stede of whe∣les are put barres to beare it, as in the other figures also appeareth.

17 ¶ Also the Lord spake vnto Mosés, saying,

18 Thou shalt also make a lauer of brasse, and his fote of brasse to wash, and shalt put it bet wene the Tabernacle of the Congregacion and the altar, and shalt put water therein,

19 For Aarōn and his sonnes shalk 1.15 wash their hands and their fete thereat.

20 When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregacion, or when they go vnto the al∣tar to minister (and) to make the perfume of the burnt offring to the Lord, they shal wash them selues with water, lest they dye.

21 So they shal wash their hands and their fete that they dye not: and (this) shalbe to the man ordinancel 1.16 for euer, (bothe (vnto him and to his sede throughout their generacions.

22 ¶ Also the Lord spake vnto Mosés, saying,

23 Take thou also vnto thee, principal spices of the moste pure myrrhe fiue hundrethm 1.17 (shekels,) of swete cinamon halfe so muche, (that is,) two hundreth and fiftie, and of swe ten 1.18 calamus, two hundreth, and fiftie:

24 Also of cassia fiue hūdreth, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie, and of oile oliue an* Hin.

25 So thou shalt make of it the oile of holy oin tement, (euen) a moste precious ointement* 1.19 after the arte of the apotecarie: this shalbe the oile of holy ointement.

26 And thou shalt anoint theo 1.20 Tabernacle of the Congregation therewith, and the Arke of the Testimonie:

27 Also the Table, and all the instruments ther of, and the Candelsticke, with all the instru∣ments thereof, and the altar of incense:

28 Also the altar of burnt offring with all his instruments, and the lauer and his fote.

29 So thou shalt sanctifie them, and they shal∣be moste holy: all that shal touche them, shal be holy.

30 Thou shalt also anoint Aarón and his son∣nes, and shalt consecrat them, that they may ministre vnto me in Priests office.

31 More ouer thou shalt speake vnto the chil∣dren of Israél, saying, This shal be an holy ointing oyle vnto me throughout your ge∣neracions.

32 None shal anointp 1.21 mans flesh there with, ne ther shal ye make any composition like vnto it: (for) it is holy, (and) shalbe holy vnto you.

33 Whosoeuer shal make the like ointemēt, or whosoeuer shal put any of it vponq 1.22 a stran∣ger, euen he shalbe cut of from his people.

34 And the Lord said vnto Mosés, Take vnto thee (these) spices, pure myrrhe andr 1.23 cleare gumme and galbanum, (these) od oures with pure frankincense, of echelike weight:

35 Then thou shaltmake of thē perfume com¦posed after the arte of the apotecary, min∣gled together, pure (and) holy.

36 And thou shalt beae it to pouder, and shalt put of it before (the Arke) of the Testimo∣nie in the Tabernacle of the Congregacion, where I wil make appointement with thee: it shalbe: vnto you moste holy.

37 And ye shal not make vnto you any cōposi∣tion like this perfume, which thou shalt ma ke: it shalbe vnto thee holy for thes 1.24 Lord.

38 Whosoeuer shal make like vnto that to smel thereto, euen he shal be cut of from his people.
