Context
10Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering * of atonement. The altar is most holy to the LORD.” 11Then the LORD said to Moses, 12“When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will come upon them when they are numbered. 13Everyone who crosses over to those counted must pay a half shekel,* according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs.* This half shekel is an offering to the LORD. 14Everyone twenty years of age or older who crosses over must give this offering to the LORD.
