Chapter 30 of Exodus—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ “Moreover, you shall make 1an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.
  2. Its length shall be a [a]cubit, and its width a cubit, it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be [b]of one piece with it.
  3. You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its [c]sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it.
  4. You shall make two gold rings for it under its molding; you shall make them on its two side walls—on [d]opposite sides—and [e]they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it.
  5. You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
  6. You shall put [f]this altar in front of the veil that is [g]near the ark of the testimony, in front of the [h]2mercy seat that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you.
  7. Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; he shall burn it every morning when he trims the lamps.
  8. When Aaron [i]trims the lamps at [j]twilight, he shall burn incense. There shall be perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
  9. You shall not offer any strange incense on [k]this altar, or burnt offering or meal offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering on it.
  10. Aaron shall 3make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD.”
  11. ¶ The LORD also spoke to Moses, saying,
  12. “When you take 4a [l]census of the sons of Israel [m]to number them, then each one of them shall give 5a ransom for [n]himself to the LORD, when you [o]number them, so that there will be no plague among them when you [p]number them.
  13. This is what everyone who [q]is numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (6the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a [r]contribution to the LORD.
  14. Everyone who [s]is numbered, from twenty years old and over, shall give the [t]contribution to the LORD.
  15. The rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than the half shekel, when you give the [u]contribution to the LORD to make atonement for [v]yourselves.
  16. You shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel and shall give it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for [w]yourselves.”
  17. ¶ The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  18. “You shall also make 7a laver of [x]bronze, with its base of bronze, for washing; and you shall 8put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
  19. Aaron and his sons shall 9wash their hands and their feet from it;
  20. when they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they will not die; or when they approach the altar to minister, by offering up in smoke a fire sacrifice to the LORD.
  21. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they will not die; and 10it shall be a perpetual statute for them, for [y]Aaron and his [z]descendants throughout their generations.”
  22. ¶ Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  23. “Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, two hundred and fifty, and of fragrant cane two hundred and fifty,
  24. and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.
  25. You shall make [aa]of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume mixture, the work of a perfumer; it shall be 11a holy anointing oil.
  26. With it 12you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony,
  27. and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
  28. and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand.
  29. You shall also consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy.
  30. 13You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister as priests to Me.
  31. You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.
  32. It shall not be poured on [ab]anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in [ac]the same proportions; 14it is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
  33. 15Whoever shall mix any like it or whoever puts any of it on a [ad]layman [ae]16shall be cut off from his people.’”
  34. ¶ Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each.
  35. With it you shall make incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy.
  36. You shall beat some of it very fine, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting 17where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.
  37. The incense which you shall make, 18you shall not make in [af]the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the LORD.
  38. 19Whoever shall make any like it, to [ag]use as perfume, [ah]shall be cut off from his people.”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
