You shall make it of acacia wood. | 1 And thou shalt make an altar for the burning of incense: of acacia-wood shalt thou make it; | 2 "Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit, it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be of one piece with 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. | 2 Make it 18 inches square and 36 inches high. The horns and altar must be made out of one piece [of wood]. | 2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. | 2 a cubit the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof square shall it be; and two cubits its height; of itself shall be its horns. | 3 "You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it. | 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. | 3 Cover all of it with pure gold-the top, the sides, and the horns. Put a gold molding around it. | 3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it. | 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 upon it a border of gold round about. | 4 "You shall make two gold rings for it under its molding; you shall make them on its two side walls-- on opposite sides-- and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it. | 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. | 4 Make two gold rings, and put them below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles for carrying it. | 4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it. | 4 And two rings of gold shalt thou make for it under its border; by its two corners shalt thou make them, on the two sides thereof; and they shall be for receptacles for the staves, with which to carry it. | 5 "You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. | 5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. | 5 Make the poles out of acacia wood, and cover them with gold. | 5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. | 5 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

It is most holy to the LORD." | 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. | 10 Once a year Aaron must make peace with the LORD by putting blood on its horns. Once a year-for generations to come-blood from the offering must be placed on the altar to make peace with the LORD. It is most holy to the LORD." | 10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations.

Then no plague will happen to them when they are counted. | 12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them. | 12 When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to those of them that are numbered, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah on their being numbered, that there be no plague among them on their being numbered. | 13 "This is what everyone who is numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a contribution to the LORD. | 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. | 13 As each person is counted, he must give one-fifth of an ounce of silver using the standard weight of the holy place. This one-fifth of an ounce of silver is a contribution to the LORD. | 13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh. | 13 This shall they give every one that passeth among them that are numbered half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs the shekel; a half shekel shall be the heave-offering for Jehovah. | 14 "Everyone who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, shall give the contribution to 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. | 14 Everyone counted who is at least 20 years old must give this contribution to the LORD. | 14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh. | 14 Every one that passeth among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the heave-offering of Jehovah. | 15 "The rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than the half shekel, when you give the contribution to the LORD to make atonement for yourselves. | 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. | 15 The rich must not give more than one-fifth of an ounce of silver, and the poor must not give less.
