  • Exod 30:11-16 : 11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each shall give a ransom for his life to the LORD when you number them, so that there will be no plague among them when you number them. 13 This is what everyone who is counted must give: a half-shekel according to the sanctuary shekel (twenty gerahs to the shekel), as an offering to the LORD. 14 Everyone who is counted in the census, twenty years old and above, must give the LORD’s offering. 15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when giving the LORD’s offering to make atonement for your lives. 16 You shall take the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting.
