出埃及記30:11-16

30:11 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
30:12 「你要按以色列人被數的，計算總數，你數的時候，他們各人要為自己的生命把贖價奉給耶和華，免得數的時候在他們中間有災殃。
30:13 凡過去歸那些被數之人的，每人要按聖所的平，拿銀子半舍客勒；這半舍客勒是奉給耶和華的禮物（一舍客勒是二十季拉）。
30:14 凡過去歸那些被數的人，從二十歲以外的，要將這禮物奉給耶和華。
30:15 他們為贖生命將禮物奉給耶和華，富足的不可多出，貧窮的也不可少出，各人要出半舍客勒。
30:16 你要從以色列人收這贖罪銀，作為會幕的使用，可以在耶和華面前為以色列人作紀念，贖生命。」

¹¹ Then the Lord said to Moses, ¹² “When you take a census of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the Lord a ransom for his life at the time he is counted. Then no plague will come on them when you number them. ¹³ Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel,^[c] according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the Lord. ¹⁴ All who cross over, those twenty years old or more, are to give an offering to the Lord. ¹⁵ The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less when you make the offering to the Lord to atone for your lives. ¹⁶ Receive the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting. It will be a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord, making atonement for your lives.”

    這相當於今日教會的金錢奉獻，因為在今日的環境中對於金錢的運用是不可避免的，這不是聖俗的問題，重點是不可以貪財，才不會偷竊聖殿之物。
