¹⁰And Aaron will make atonement on its horns one time in the year from the blood of the sin offering of the atonement; one time in the year he will make atonement on it throughout your generations; it is a most holy thing for Yahweh.”

Instructions for Numbering the People

¹¹And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹²“When you take a census of^f the Israelites^g to count them, they will each give the ransom of his life for Yahweh when counting them, and a plague will not be among them when counting them. ¹³This they will give, everyone who is counted,^h the half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs per shekel. The half shekel is a contribution for Yahweh. ¹⁴Everyone who is countedⁱ from twenty years old^j and above will give the contribution of Yahweh. ¹⁵The rich will not give more, and the poor will not give less than the half shekel to give the contribution of Yahweh to make atonement for their lives. ¹⁶And you will take the atonement money from the Israelites^k and give it to the service of the tent of assembly, and it will be as a memorial for the Israelites^l before Yahweh to make atonement for your lives.”
