Exodus 30:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 When you take a census(A) of the Israelites who are to be enrolled, each one, as he is enrolled, shall give the Lord a ransom for his life, so that no plague may come upon them for being enrolled. 13 This is what everyone who is enrolled must pay: a half-shekel, according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel—twenty gerahs to the shekel—a half-shekel contribution to the Lord.(B) 14 Everyone who is enrolled, of twenty years or more, must give the contribution to the Lord.
