God instructs Moses to make an incense altar. God instructs Moses that each person 20 years old or older, regardless of wealth, should pay a half-shekel ransom to the service of the Tent of Meeting. God tells Moses to place a laver between the tabernacle and the altar, so that Aaron and the priests could wash their hands and feet in water when they enter the tent or approach the altar. God directs Moses to make a sacred anointing oil from choice spices and olive oil to anoint the tabernacle, the furnishings, and the priests. God directed Moses make sacred incense from herbs to burn in the tabernacle. God warns against making anointing oil and incense from the same recipes for lay purposes.
