Exodus 30:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹² When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.

¹³ And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty obols. Half a sicle shall be offered to the Lord.
