2 a cubet longe, and a cubet brode, euen fouresquare shall it be and two cubettes hye: with hornes procedyng out of it,

3 ad thou shalt ouerlay it with fyne golde both the roffe ad the walles round aboute, ad his hornes also, ad shalt make vnto it a crowne of gold roude aboute,

4 ad .ij. golde ringes on ether syde, euen vnder the croune, to put staues therin for to bere it with all.

5 And thou shalt make the staues of sethim wodd and couer them with golde.

6 And thou shalt put it before the vayle that hangeth before the arcke of witnesse, and before the mercyseate that is before the witnesse, where I will mete the.

7 And Aaron shall burne thereon swete cense euery mornynge when he dresseth the lampes: and lykewyse at euen

8 when he setteth vpp the lampes he shall burne cense perpetually before the Lorde thorow out youre generacions

9 Ye shall put no straunge cense thereon, nether burntsacrifice nor meateoffrynge: nether poure any drynkeoffrynge thereon.

10 And Aaron shall reconcyle his hornes once in a yere, wyth the bloude of the synneoffrynge of reconcylige: euen once in the yere shall he reconcyle it thorow youre generacions. And so is it most holye vnto the Lorde.

11 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge:

12 when thou takest the summe of the childern of Israel ad tellest them, they shall geue euery ma a reconcylinge of his soule vnto the Lorde, that there be no plage amonge them when thou tellest them.

13 And thus moch shall euery man geue that goeth in the nombre: halfe a sycle, after the holye sycle: a sycle is .xx. geeras: and an halfe sycle shalbe the heueoffrynge vnto the Lorde.

14 And all that are numbred of the that are .xx. yere olde and aboue shall geue an heueoffrynge vnto the Lorde.

15 The rych shall not passe, and the poore shall not goo vnder halfe a sycle, when they geue an heueoffrynge vnto the Lorde for the attonemet of their soules.

16 And thou shalt take the reconcylinge money of the children of Israel and shalt put it vnto the vse of the tabernacle of witnesse, and it shall be a memoriall of the childern of Israel before the Lorde, to make attonement for their foules.

17 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge:

18 thou shalt make a lauer of brasse and his fote also of brasse to wash with all, and shalt put it betwene the tabernacle of witnesse and the alter and put water therein:

19 that Aaron and hys sonnes maye wesh both their handes ad theyr fete thereout,

20 whe they go in to the tabernacle of witnesse, or whe they goo vnto the altare to ministre and to burne the Lordes offrynge, lest they dye.

21 And it shalbe an ordinaunce for euer vnto him and his seed amonge youre childern after you.
