Exodus 30:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² “When you take a census of the number of the children of Israel, each man will offer a ransom for his life to the Lord, when you number them, lest there be a plague among them when you number them. ¹³ Each person counted in the census will give half a shekel according to the measure of the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs). The half shekel will be an offering to the Lord. ¹⁴ Everyone who is counted in the census, from twenty years old and up, will give the Lord’s offering.
