11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 12 kWhen thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after †their number, then shall they give every man la ransom for his soul unto the Lord, when thou numberest them; that there be no mplague 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: n(a shekel is twenty gerahs:) oan 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 patonement for your souls. 16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and qshalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be ra memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.
