Exodus 30:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 (A)When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then they shall give every man [a]a redemption of his life unto the Lord, when thou tellest them, that there be no plague among them when thou countest them.
13 This shall every man give, that goeth into the number, half a shekel, after the [b]shekel of the Sanctuary: ((B)a shekel is twenty gerahs) the half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord.
14 All that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord.
