Exodus 30:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² “When you take a census of the people of Israel, each man is to pay me a price for his life, so that no disaster will come on him while the census is being taken. ^13 (A)Everyone included in the census must pay the required amount of money, weighed according to the official standard. Everyone must pay this as an offering to me. ¹⁴ Everyone being counted in the census, that is, every man twenty years old or older, is to pay me this amount.
