1 These are the laws that you will propose to them.
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he will serve six years; but on the seventh he will go free, for nothing.
3 If he went in alone, he alone will go out; If he had a wife, he and his wife will go out with him.
4 If his master has given him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will belong to his master, and he will go out alone.
5 And if the servant says, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
6 then his master will bring him before the judges, and make him stand by the door or the post; and his master will pierce his ear with a spear, and he will be his servant forever.
7 And when a man sells his daughter as a servant, she will not go out as servants usually go out.
8 If he does not please her master, for which reason he did not take her as his wife, he will be allowed to ransom herself from her, and he will not be able to sell her to a strange people when he casts her away.
9 But if he has married her to her son, he will do to her according to the custom of her daughters.
10 If he takes another wife for him, she will not diminish his food, her clothing, or her marital duty.
11 And if she does none of these three things, she will go out of grace, without money.
12 Whoever strikes anyone, causing him to die, will die.
13 But the one who did not intend to hurt him, but God put him in his hands, then I will show you a place to which he must flee.
14 But if anyone becomes arrogant against his neighbor and treacherously kills him, you will remove him from my altar so that he may die.
15 Whoever strikes his father or his mother will die.
16 Likewise, whoever steals a person and sells it, or if it is found in his hands, he shall die.
17 Likewise, whoever curses his father or his mother will die.
18 Furthermore, if some quarrel, and one strikes his neighbor with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die, but he falls to his bed;
19 If he arises and walks outside on his staff, then he who struck him will be acquitted; He alone will satisfy him for what he was without working, and he will make him healed.
20 And if a man strikes his servant or his maidservant with a stick, and dies under his hand, he shall be punished;
21 But if he survives for a day or two, he will not be punished, because he is his property.
22 If some quarrel and hurt a pregnant woman, and she miscarries, but without death, they will be punished according to what the woman’s husband imposes on them and the judges judge.
23 But if there is death, then you will pay life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burn for burn, wound for wound, blow for blow.
26 If a man strikes the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maidservant, and damages it, he shall release him because of his eye.
27 And if he knocks out a tooth of his servant, or a tooth of his maidservant, for his tooth he will let him go free.
28 If an ox gores a man or a woman, and they die thereby, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox will be acquitted.
29 But if the ox has been gored for a long time, and its owner has already been notified, and has not guarded it, and kills a man or woman, the ox will be stoned, and its owner will also die.
30 If a ransom price is imposed on him, then he will give for the ransom of his person whatever is imposed on him.
31 Whether he has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it will be done to him.
32 If the ox gores a male or female servant, its owner shall pay thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 And if a man digs a well, or digs a cistern, and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls there,
34 the owner of the cistern will pay the damage, compensating its owner, and what was killed will be his.
35 And if a man’s ox strikes his neighbor’s ox so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money from it, and they shall also divide the dead ox.
36 But if it was known that the ox had been gored for a long time, and the owner of it has not kept it, he will pay ox for ox, and the dead ox will be his.
1 When a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it, or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for that ox, and four sheep for that sheep.
2 If a thief is found breaking into a house, and is wounded and dies, the one who wounded him will not be blamed for his death.
3 But if it is during the day, the perpetrator of the death will be guilty of murder. The thief will make full restitution; If he has nothing to do with it, he will be sold for theft.
4 If he is found alive with the theft in his hand, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he will pay double.
5 If a man grazes in a field or vineyard, and brings his beast into another’s field, he shall pay from the best of his field and from the best of his vineyard.
6 When a fire catches fire, and when thorns are burned it burns heaped or standing crops, or a field, the one who lit the fire will pay for what was burned.
7 When a man gives his neighbor silver or jewelry to keep, and it is stolen from that man’s house, if the thief is found, he will pay double.
8 If the thief is not found, then the owner of the house will be brought before the judges, so that it may be seen whether he has put his hand into the property of his neighbor.
9 In every kind of fraud, concerning an ox, concerning an ass, concerning a sheep, concerning a garment, concerning any lost thing, when a man says, This is mine, the cause of both shall come before the judges; and whoever the judges condemn, he will pay double to his neighbor.
10 If anyone has given his neighbor a donkey, ox, sheep, or any other animal to keep, and it dies or is damaged, or is carried away without anyone seeing it;
11 There will be an oath from Jehovah between them both, that he will not put his hand into the property of his neighbor; and the owner of it will accept it, and the other will not pay.
12 But if it is stolen from him, he will compensate the owner of it.
13 And if he has been taken from him by a wild beast, he will bear testimony to him, and he will not pay for what was taken.
14 But if a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it becomes damaged or dies, while its owner is absent, he must pay it.
15 If the owner was present he will not pay it. If it was rented, the owner received the rent.
16 If a man deceives a maiden who is not betrothed and sleeps with her, he must provide her and take her as his wife.
17 If her father does not want to give it to him, he will weigh her money according to the dowry of her virgins.
18 You will not let the sorceress live.
19 Anyone who cohabits with a beast will die.
20 Whoever offers sacrifice to gods except Jehovah alone, he will be put to death.
21 And you shall not deceive or distress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
22 You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.
23 For if you come to afflict them, and they cry to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 and my fury will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will be widows, and your children will be orphans.
25 When you lend money to one of my people, to the poor person who is with you, you will not act like an earner towards him, nor impose usury on him.
26 If you take your neighbor’s clothing as a pledge, you will return it to him at sunset.
27 For that alone is his covering, it is his clothing to cover his body. What will he sleep in? And when he calls to me, I will hear him, for I am merciful.
28 You shall not revile the judges, nor curse the prince of your people.
29 You will not delay the first fruit of your harvest or your winepress. You will give me the first born of your children.
30 You shall do the same with that of your ox and your sheep; He will be with his mother for seven days, and on the eighth day you will give him to me.
31 And you will be holy men to me. You shall not eat meat destroyed by wild beasts in the field; You will throw it to the dogs.
1 You will not admit false rumor. You shall not conspire with the wicked to be a false witness.
2 You will not follow the many to do evil, nor will you answer in dispute by bowing down to the many to do wrongs;
3 nor will you distinguish the poor in his cause.
4 If you find your enemy’s ox or his donkey straying, he will take it back.
5 If you see the donkey of the one who hates you fallen under his burden, will you leave him without help? After you will help to lift it.
6 Thou shalt not pervert the right of thy beggar in his suit.
7 You will turn away from lying words, and you will not kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
8 You will receive no gift; for the present blinds those who see, and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 And you will not distress the stranger; for you know what the soul of a stranger is like, since you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 Six years you will sow your land, and gather its harvest;
11 But in the seventh year you will leave it free, so that the poor of your people may eat; and the beasts of the field will eat of what is left; This is what you will do with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
12 Six days you will work, and on the seventh day you will rest, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and your servant’s son and the foreigner may refresh themselves.
13 And everything that I have told you, keep it. And you shall not mention the names of other gods, nor shall they be heard from your mouth.
14 Three times a year you will celebrate me a feast.
15 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month of Abib, because in it you left Egypt; and no one will come before me empty-handed.
16 Also the harvest festival, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field, and the harvest festival at the end of the year, when you have gathered the fruits of your labors in the field.
17 Three times in the year every male shall appear before the Lord God.
18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, nor shall the fat of my victim remain from night to morning.
19 You shall bring the first fruits of your land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook the goat in its mother’s milk.
20 Behold, I send my Angel before you to keep you on the way, and to bring you into the place that I have prepared.
21 Keep thyself before him, and hear his voice; do not be rebellious to him; for he will not forgive your transgression, because my name is in him.
22 But if you truly listen to his voice and do everything I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.
23 For my Angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, the Hittite, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, whom I will destroy.
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do as they do; but you will destroy them completely, and you will completely break their statues.
25 But you shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove all disease from among you.
26 There will be no woman who aborts or is barren in your land; and I will complete the number of your days.
27I will send my terror before you, and I will dismay every town where you enter, and I will give you the neck of all your enemies.
28 I will send the wasp before you, to drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land be left desolate, and the wild beasts of the field increase against you.
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you multiply and take possession of the land.
31 And I will set your boundaries from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates; For I will put the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and you will drive them out from before you.
32 You shall not make an alliance with them, nor with their gods.
33 They will not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me by serving their gods, for it will be a stumbling block to you.
1 Jehovah said to Moses, Go up before Jehovah, you, and Aaron, and Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and you will bow down from afar.
2 But Moses alone will approach Jehovah; and let them not come near, nor let the people go up with him.
3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the laws; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, We will do all the words that Jehovah has spoken.
4 And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rising early in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and bullocks as peace offerings to Jehovah.
6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in bowls, and sprinkled the other half of the blood on the altar.
7 And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, who said, We will do all the things that Jehovah has said, and we will obey.
8 Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you concerning all these things.
9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up;
10 and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet like a sapphire tile, like the sky when it is calm.
11 But he did not stretch out his hand on the princes of the children of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank.
12 Then Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, and I will give you tables of stone, and the law, and commandments that I have written to teach you.
13 And Moses arose with Joshua his servant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
14 And he said to the elders, Wait for us here until we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; He who has matters, go to them.
15 Then Moses went up to the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain.
16 And the glory of Jehovah rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day he called Moses out of the middle of the cloud.
17 And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like a burning fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Tell the children of Israel to take an offering for me; From every man who gives it according to his will, from the heart, you will take my offering.
3 This is the offering that you will take from them: gold, silver, copper,
4 blue, purple, crimson, fine linen, goats’ hair,
5 rams’ skins dyed red, badgers’ skins, acacia wood,
6 oil for lighting, spices for anointing oil and for fragrant incense,
7 onyx stones, and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastplate.
8 And they will make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.
9 According to all that I show you, the design of the tabernacle, and the design of all its utensils, so shall you do it.
10 They will also make an ark of acacia wood, the length of which will be two and a half cubits, its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits.
11 And you will cover it with pure gold inside and out, and you will make a cornice of gold around it.
12 You will cast four gold rings for it, and put them in its four corners; two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side.
13 You will make poles of acacia wood, which you will cover with gold.
14 And you will put the staffs through the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them.
15 The rods will remain in the rings of the ark; They will not be removed from it.
16 And you will put in the ark the testimony that I will give you.
17 And you shall make a mercy seat of fine gold, the length of which shall be two and a half cubits, and the width of it shall be a cubit and a half.
18 You will also make two cherubim of gold; You shall make them hammered at the two ends of the mercy seat.
19 Therefore you shall make a cherub at one end, and a cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat you will make the cherubim at both ends.
20 And the cherubim will spread their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings; their faces facing each other, looking at the mercy seat at the faces of the cherubim.
21 And you shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you.
22 And from there I will declare myself to you, and I will speak with you about the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the testimony, everything that I will command you for the children of Israel.
23 You will also make a table of acacia wood; Its length will be two cubits, its width one cubit, and its height one and a half cubits.
24 And you will cover it with pure gold, and you will make a cornice of gold around it.
25 You will also make a molding around it, a hand’s breadth wide, and you will make a cornice of gold around the molding.
26 And you will make four gold rings for it, which you will put in the four corners that correspond to its four legs.
27 The rings will be under the molding, for places of the poles to carry the table.
28 You will make the poles of acacia wood, and cover them with gold, and with them the table will be carried.
29 You will also make his plates, his spoons, his covers, and his bowls, with which he will drink; You will make them of fine gold.
30 And you will put the shewbread on the table before me continually.
31 You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; The lampstand will be made by hammer; Its foot, its reed, its cups, its apples and its flowers, will be of the same.
32 And six arms will come out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand on one side, and three branches on the other side.
33 Three cups in the shape of an almond blossom on one arm, an apple and a flower; and three cups in the shape of an almond blossom in another arm, an apple and a flower; so in the six arms that come out of the lampstand;
34 and in the central reed of the candlestick four cups in the shape of almond blossoms, their apples and their flowers.
35 There will be an apple under two branches of it, another apple under two other branches of it, and another apple under the other two branches of it, so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand.
36 Its apples and its arms will be of one piece, all of it a hammered piece, of pure gold.
37 And you shall make for it seven lamps, which you shall light to shine forward.
38 Also their snuffers and their saucers are of pure gold.
39 You will make it from a talent of fine gold, with all these utensils.
40 Look and make them according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.
1 You shall make the tabernacle of ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and crimson; and you will do it with cherubim of exquisite workmanship.
2 The length of a curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of the same curtain was four cubits; All curtains will have the same size.
3 Five curtains will be joined together, and the other five curtains joined together.
4 And you will make loops of blue on the edge of the last curtain of the first union; You will do the same on the edge of the curtain of the second connection.
5 You shall make fifty loops in the first curtain, and fifty loops you shall make in the edge of the curtain that is in the second joint; The loops will be opposite to each other.
6 You will also make fifty hooks of gold, with which you will fasten the curtains one to another, and it will form a tabernacle.
7 You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle; eleven curtains you will make.
8 The length of each curtain will be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; The eleven curtains will have the same measurement.
9 And you will join five curtains apart and the other six curtains apart; and you shall fold the sixth curtain in front of the tabernacle.
10 And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain, at the edge at the junction, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second junction.
11 You shall also make fifty bronze clasps, which you shall put through the loops; and you will join the joints so that a single cover is made.
12 And the part that is left over from the curtains of the tent, half of the curtain that is left over, will hang behind the tabernacle.
13 And one cubit on one side, and another cubit on the other side, which is left over along the curtains of the tent, will hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it.
14 You shall also make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins on top.
15 And you shall make boards of acacia wood for the tabernacle, which shall stand upright.
16 The length of each board will be ten cubits, and the width will be a cubit and a half.
17 Each board will have two tenons, to join them one to another; so you will make all the tables of the tabernacle.
18 So you will make the tables of the tabernacle; twenty boards on the south side.
19 And you shall make forty silver sockets under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
20 And on the other side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards;
21 and its forty sockets of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
22 And for the back side of the tabernacle, on the west, you will make six boards.
23 You shall also make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the two rear corners;
24 which will be joined together from below, and also joined together at the top with a hinge; so it will be with the other two; They will be for both corners.
25 So that there will be eight tables, with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
26 You will also make five bars of acacia wood for the boards on one side of the tabernacle,
27 and five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards on the back side of the tabernacle, on the west.
28 And the middle bar will pass through the middle of the boards, from one end to the other.
29 And you will cover the boards with gold, and you will make their rings of gold to put the bars in them; You will also cover the bars with gold.
30 And you will set up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.
31 You will also make a veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen; It will be made of exquisite workmanship, with cherubim;
32 and you will place it on four pillars of acacia wood covered with gold; its capitals of gold, on bases of silver.
33 And you will put the veil under the brackets, and you will put in there, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and that veil will separate you between the holy place and the most holy.
34 You will place the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand in front of the table on the south side of the tabernacle; and you will set the table on the north side.
36 You shall make for the door of the tabernacle a curtain of blue, purple, crimson, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer.
37 And you shall make for the curtain five pillars of acacia wood, which you shall cover with gold, with their capitals of gold; and you will cast five bronze bases for them.
1 You will also make an altar of acacia wood five cubits long and five cubits wide; The altar will be square, and its height will be three cubits.
2 And you will make horns for it on its four corners; the horns will be part of it; and you will cover it with bronze.
3 You will also make their cauldrons to collect the ashes, and their trowels, their bowls, their hooks, and their braziers; You will make all its utensils of bronze.
4 And you shall make for it a bronze lattice of grate work, and on the grate you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.
5 And you will put it within the fence of the altar below; and the grate will reach the middle of the altar.
6 You will also make staves for the altar, staves of acacia wood, which you will cover with bronze.
7 And the staves will be put through the rings, and those staves will be on both sides of the altar when it is carried.
8 You will make it hollow, of boards; As it was shown you on the mountain, so you shall do.
9 You will also make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side, on the south, the atrium will have curtains of twined linen, one hundred cubits long on one side.
10 Its twenty columns and its twenty sockets will be of bronze; the capitals of the columns and their moldings, of silver.
11 In the same way on the north side there will be curtains along the length of one hundred cubits, and their twenty columns with their twenty bases of bronze; the capitals of its columns and its moldings are of silver.
12 The width of the court on the west side will have curtains of fifty cubits; its columns ten, with its ten bases.
13 And in the width of the court on the east side, on the east, there will be fifty cubits.
14 The curtains on one side of the entrance will be fifteen cubits; its columns three, with its three bases.
15 And on the other side, fifteen cubits of curtains; its columns three, with its three bases.
16 And for the gate of the court there will be a curtain of twenty cubits, of blue, purple, and crimson, and fine twined linen, made by a weaver; its columns four, with its four bases.
17 All the pillars around the court will be girded with silver; its capitals of silver, and its bases of bronze.
18 The length of the court will be one hundred cubits, and the width fifty on one side and fifty on the other, and the height five cubits; its curtains of twisted linen, and its sockets of bronze.
19 All the utensils of the tabernacle in all its service, and all its stakes, and all the stakes of the court, will be of bronze.
20 And you shall command the children of Israel to bring you pure oil from crushed olives for lighting, to make the lamps burn continually.
21 In the tabernacle of the congregation, outside the veil that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons will arrange them to burn before Jehovah from evening until morning, as a perpetual statute of the children of Israel throughout their generations.
1 You shall bring before you Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, to be my priests; to Aaron and Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron.
2 And you will make sacred garments for Aaron your brother, for honor and beauty.
3 And you shall speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, to make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him to be my priest.
4 The garments they will make are these: the breastplate, the ephod, the cloak, the embroidered tunic, the miter, and the belt. Let them therefore make sacred garments for Aaron your brother, and for his sons, to be my priests.
5 They will take gold, blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen,
6 and make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, of exquisite workmanship.
7 It will have two shoulder pads that meet at its two ends, and so it will be joined together.
8 And his girdle of exquisite workmanship that will be on him will be of the same workmanship, part of it; of gold, blue, purple, crimson and twisted linen.
9 And you shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel;
10 six of their names on one stone, and the other six names on the other stone, according to the order of their birth.
11 With the work of a stone engraver, like seal engravings, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel; You will make settings of gold around them.
12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as memorial stones to the children of Israel; and Aaron will bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.
13 So you will make the settings of gold,
14 and two cords of fine gold, which you will make in the form of a braid; and you will fix the cords in a braid shape in the settings.
15 You shall also make the breastplate of judgment of exquisite workmanship; you shall make it according to the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, crimson, and fine twined linen.
16 It will be square and double, a span long and a span wide;
17 and you will fill it with stones in four rows of stones; a row of a sardic stone, a topaz and a carbuncle;
18 the second row, an emerald, a sapphire and a diamond;
19 the third row, a hyacinth, an agate and an amethyst;
20 the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx and a jasper. They will all be mounted in gold settings.
21 And the stones will be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve according to their names; Like seal engravings, each with its name, they will be according to the twelve tribes.
22You will also make cords made of braids of fine gold on the breastplate.
23 And you will make two gold rings on the breastplate, which you will put on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 And you will fasten the two golden cords in the two rings at the two ends of the breastplate;
25 and you will put the two ends of the two cords on the two settings, and you will fasten them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
26 You will also make two gold rings, which you will put on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge that is next to the ephod on the inside.
27 You will also make the two gold rings, which you will fix on the front of the two shoulder straps of the ephod, downwards, in front of their joint on the belt of the ephod.
28 And they shall join the breastplate by its rings to the two rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it may be on the belt of the ephod, and the breastplate may not be separated from the ephod
29 And Aaron will bear the names of the children of Israel on the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he enters the sanctuary, as a memorial before the Lord continually.
30 And you shall put Urim and Thummim in the breastplate of judgment, so that they may be on Aaron’s heart when he enters before Jehovah; and Aaron will always bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Jehovah.
31 You will make the mantle of the ephod all blue;
32 and in the middle of it at the top there will be an opening, which will have a border around it of woven work, like the collar of a corselet, so that it will not be torn.
33 And on its borders you will make pomegranates of blue, purple and crimson all around, and among them golden bells all around.
34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, another golden bell and another pomegranate, on the entire border of the robe all around.
35 And it will be upon Aaron when he ministers; and the sound of him shall be heard when he enters into the sanctuary before Jehovah and when he goes out, so that he may not die.
36 You shall also make a sheet of fine gold, and engrave on it as a seal engraving, HOLINESS TO JEHOVAH.
37 And you will put it with a cord of blue, and it will be on the miter; It will be on the front of the miter.
38 And it will be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron will bear the faults committed in all the holy things, which the children of Israel have consecrated in all their holy offerings; and it will be on his forehead continually, so that they may obtain favor before Jehovah.
39 And you shall embroider a linen tunic, and make a linen miter; You will also make a belt of embroidery work.
40 And for Aaron’s sons you will make tunics; You will also make them girdles, and you will make tiaras for them for honor and beauty.
41 And with them you shall clothe Aaron your brother, and his sons with him; and you will anoint them, consecrate them, and sanctify them, so that they may be my priests.
42 And you will make them linen underwear to cover their nakedness; They will be from the loins to the thighs.
43 And they will be on Aaron and on his sons when they enter the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they approach the altar to serve in the sanctuary, so that they will not bear sin and die. It is a perpetual statute for him, and for his descendants after him.
1 This is what you will do to them to consecrate them, so that they may be my priests: Take a bullock from the herd, and two rams without blemish;
2 and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes kneaded with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; you will make them of fine wheat flour.
3 And you shall put them in a basket, and offer them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
4 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and you shall wash them with water.
5 And you shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the tunic, the mantle of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and you shall gird him with the sash of the ephod;
6 and you will put the miter on his head, and on the miter you will put the holy diadem.
7 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.
8 And you will bring his sons near, and you will put on their tunics.
9 You will gird the girdle on Aaron and his sons, and bind their tiaras, and they will have the priesthood by perpetual right. Thus you will consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 Then you shall bring the calf before the tabernacle of the congregation, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the calf.
11 And you shall kill the calf before Jehovah
, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
12 And you shall take some of the blood of the calf and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and you shall pour out all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar.
13 You shall also take all the fat that covers the intestines, the fat on the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn it on the altar.
14 But the flesh of the calf, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; It is an offering for sin.
15 You shall also take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
16 And you shall kill the ram, and sprinkle its blood on the altar all around.
17 You shall cut the ram into pieces, and wash its intestines and its legs, and put them on its pieces and on its head.
18 And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar; It is a burnt offering of a sweet aroma to the Lord, it is a burnt offering to the Lord.
19 Then you will take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the ram.
20 And you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, and on the lobe of the ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hands, and on the thumb of their right hand. from their right feet, and you will sprinkle the blood on the altar all around.
21 And with the blood that will be on the altar, and the anointing oil, you will sprinkle on Aaron, on his clothing, on his sons, and on their clothing; and he will be sanctified, and his clothing, and his children, and his children’s clothing with him.
22 Then you shall take of the ram the fat, and the tail, and the fat that covers the intestines, and the fat of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and the right shoulder; because it is a ram of consecration.
23 Also a large cake of bread, and a cake of oil bread, and a wafer from the basket of unleavened bread presented to the Lord,
24 and you will put it all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons ; and you shall wave it as a wave offering before the Lord.
25 Then you will take it from his hand and burn it on the altar, on the burnt offering, for a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering by fire to Jehovah.
26 And you shall take the breast of the ram of consecration, which is Aaron’s, and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord; and it will be your portion.
27 And you shall set aside the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, that which was waved and that which was heaved, of the ram of consecration of Aaron and of his sons.
28 and it shall be for Aaron and for his sons as a perpetual statute for the children of Israel, for it is a high offering; and it shall be a heave offering of the children of Israel, of their peace offerings, a portion of them raised as an offering to the Lord.
29 And the holy garments, which are Aaron’s, shall be his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.
30 He who of his sons takes his place as priest shall wear them for seven days, when he comes to the tabernacle of the congregation to serve in the sanctuary.
31 And you shall take the ram of consecration, and you shall cook its flesh in a holy place.
32 And Aaron and his sons will eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that will be in the basket at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
33 And they will eat those things with which atonement was made, to fill their hands to consecrate them; but the stranger will not eat them, because they are holy.
34 And if any of the meat of the consecrations and the bread remains until morning, you shall burn with the fire what is left over; It will not be eaten, because it is a holy thing.
35 Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; For seven days you will consecrate them.
36 Every day you shall offer the calf of sin offering for atonement; and you shall purify the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it.
37 For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it, and it shall be a most holy altar: whoever touches the altar shall be sanctified.
38 This is what you shall offer on the altar: two one-year-old lambs each day, continually.
39 You will offer one of the lambs in the morning, and you will offer the other lamb in the evening.
40 Furthermore, with each lamb a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of crushed olive oil; and for the libation, the fourth part of a hin of wine.
41 And you shall offer the other lamb at evening, making according to the morning offering, and according to its drink offering, for a sweet aroma; offering made by fire to Jehovah.
42 This shall be the continual burnt offering throughout your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before Jehovah, where I will meet with you, to speak to you there.
43 There I will meet the children of Israel; and the place will be sanctified with my glory.
44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar; I will also sanctify Aaron and his sons to be my priests.
45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and I will be their God.
46 And they will know that I am Jehovah their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt to live among them. I am Jehovah his God.
1 You will also make an altar to burn incense; of acacia wood you will make it.
2 Its length will be one cubit, and its width one cubit; It will be square, and its height will be two cubits; and its horns will be part of it.
3 And you will cover it with pure gold, its covering, its walls around it, and its horns; and you will make a cornice of gold around it.
4 You will also make two gold rings for it under its cornice, at its two corners on either side of it, to insert the rods with which it will be carried.
5 You will make the staves of acacia wood, and you will cover them with gold.
6 And you shall place it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet you.
7 And Aaron will burn sweet incense on it; Every morning when he prepares the lamps he will burn it.
8 And when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he will burn the incense; a perpetual ritual before Jehovah throughout your generations.
9 You shall not offer strange incense, burnt offering, or offering on it; nor shall you pour a libation upon him.
10 And on its horns Aaron will make atonement once in the year with the blood of the sin offering for atonement; He will make atonement for it once in a year throughout your generations; he will be very holy to Jehovah.
11 Jehovah also spoke to Moses, saying,
12 When you take the number of the children of Israel according to their number, each one shall give to Jehovah the ransom of his person, when you number them, so that there will be no mortality among them when they are counted. you have counted.
13 This will be given by everyone who is counted; half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel is twenty geras. Half a shekel will be the offering to Jehovah.
14 Everyone who is counted, from twenty years old and up, will give the offering to Jehovah.
15 Neither the rich will increase, nor the poor will decrease from half a shekel, when they give the offering to Jehovah to make atonement for your souls.
16 And you shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and give it to the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and it will be a memorial to the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
17 Jehovah spoke further to Moses, saying:
18 You shall also make a bronze basin, with its bronze base, for washing; and you shall place it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet from it.
20 When they enter the tabernacle of the congregation, they must wash themselves with water, so that they do not die; and when they come to the altar to minister, to burn the offering made by fire to Jehovah,
21 they shall wash their hands and feet, so that they may not die. And he and his descendants will have it as a perpetual statute throughout their generations.
22 Jehovah spoke further to Moses, saying:
23 You shall take fine spices: of excellent myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half, that is, two hundred and fifty, of sweet-smelling calamus two hundred and fifty,
24 of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
25 And you shall make of it the holy anointing oil; superior ointment, according to the art of the perfumer, will be the oil of holy anointing.
26 With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of the congregation, the ark of the testimony,
27 the table with all its utensils, the lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its stand. .
29 Thus you will consecrate them, and they will be most holy things; everything that touches them will be sanctified.
30 You will also anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them to be my priests.
31 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations.
32 It shall not be poured upon man’s flesh, nor shall you make another like it, according to its composition; He is holy, and you will consider him holy.
33 Anyone who makes such an ointment and puts it on a stranger will be cut off from among his people.
34 And Jehovah said to Moses: Take spices, stacte, and sweet clove, and sweet galbanum, and pure incense; of everything in equal weight,
35 and you will make of it incense, a perfume according to the art of the perfumer, well mixed, pure and holy.
36 And you shall grind some of it into fine powder, and put it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will show myself to you. It will be a most holy thing for you.
37 Like this incense that you will make, you will not make any other according to its composition; It will be a sacred thing for you to Jehovah.
38 Anyone who makes another like this to smell it will be cut off from among his people.
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and in all art,
4 to invent designs, to work in gold, in silver and in bronze,
5 and in craftsmanship of stones to set them, and in wooden artifice; to work in all kinds of work.
6 And behold, I have placed with him Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the mind of every wise heart, so that they may do all that I have commanded you;
7 the tabernacle of the congregation, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, and all the utensils of the tabernacle,
8 the table and its utensils, the clean lampstand and all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the laver and its stand,
10 the garments for the service, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments for his sons to serve in the priesthood,
11 the anointing oil, and the sweet incense for the sanctuary ; They will do according to all that I have commanded you.
12 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
13 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, Truly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.
14 So you shall keep the Sabbath day, because it is holy to you; He who defiles it will surely die; for whoever does any work in him, that person will be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days you will work, but the seventh day is a day of rest consecrated to Jehovah; Whoever works on the Sabbath will surely die.
16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, celebrating it throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign forever between me and the children of Israel; for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased and rested.
18 And he gave Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, two tablets of testimony, tablets of stone written with the finger of God.
1 When the people saw that Moses was slow to come down from the mountain, they then approached Aaron and said to him, Arise, make us gods to go before us; because we do not know what has happened to this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt.
2 And Aaron said to them, Take away the golden earrings that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Then all the people took away the golden earrings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron;
4 And he took it from their hands, and shaped it with a graver, and made it into a molten calf. Then they said, Israel, these are your gods, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
5 And Aaron seeing this, built an altar before the calf; and Aaron proclaimed, and said, Tomorrow shall be a festival unto the Lord.
6 And the next day they rose early, and offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to rejoice.
7 Then Jehovah said to Moses, Go, go down, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have become corrupt.
8 They have soon turned aside from the path that I commanded them; They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have offered sacrifices to it, and have said, Israel, these are your gods, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
9 Jehovah further said to Moses: I have seen this people, who are indeed a stiff-necked people.
10 Now therefore let my anger burn against them, and consume them; and of you I will make a great nation.
11 Then Moses prayed before Jehovah his God, and said, O Jehovah, why will your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to destroy them from the face of the earth? Turn from your fierce anger, and repent of this evil against your people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel your servants, to whom you have sworn by yourself, and said to them: I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven; And I will give to your descendants all this land of which I have spoken, and they will inherit it forever.
14 Then Jehovah repented of the evil that he said he would do to his people.
15 And Moses returned and came down from the mountain, carrying in his hand the two tablets of the testimony, the tablets written on both sides; on both sides they were written.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tables.
17When Joshua heard the cry of the people shouting, he said to Moses, There is a shout of fighting in the camp.
18 And he answered, It is not the voice of the shouting of the strong, nor the voice of the shouting of the weak; singing voice I hear.
19 And it came to pass, when he came to the camp, and saw the calf and the dancing, that Moses’ anger burned, and he threw the tables out of his hands, and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder, which he scattered upon the waters, and gave it to the children of Israel to drink.
21 And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to you, that you have brought upon them so great a sin?
22 And Aaron said, Let not my lord be angry; You know the people, who are inclined to evil.
23 For they said to me, Make us gods to go before us; because we do not know what has happened to this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt.
24 And I answered them: Who has gold? Put it away. And they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were rioting, because Aaron had permitted it, to shame among his enemies,
26 Moses stood at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is for Jehovah? Join me. And all the sons of Levi gathered to him.
27 And he said to them, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Put each of you his sword on his thigh; Go through the camp from door to door and return, and each of you kill his brother, his friend, and his relative.
28 And the sons of Levi did it according to the saying of Moses; and about three thousand men fell from the town that day.
29 Then Moses said, Today you have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah, for each one has consecrated himself to his son and to his brother, so that he may give blessing to you today.
30 And it came to pass on the next day, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have committed a great sin, but now I will go up to Jehovah; perhaps I will appease him about your sin.
31 Then Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, since this people have committed a great sin, for they have made themselves gods of gold,
32 forgive now their sin, and if not, tear me away now from thy book which thou hast written.
33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever sins against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34 Go therefore now, lead this people to where I have told you; behold, my angel will go before you; but on the day of punishment, I will punish them for his sin.
35 And Jehovah smote the people, because they had made the calf that Aaron formed.
1 Jehovah said to Moses, Go, go up from here, you and the people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your descendants;
2 And I will send the angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite
3 (to the land flowing with milk and honey); But I will not go up among you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.
4 And when the people heard this bad news, they put on mourning, and no one put on his attire.
5 For Jehovah had said to Moses: Say to the children of Israel: You are a stiff-necked people; In a moment I will come up among you and consume you. Take off, therefore, your attire now, that I may know what I will do to you.
6 Then the children of Israel stripped off their clothing from Mount Horeb.
7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and set it up far outside the camp, and called it the Tent of Meeting. And whoever sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of the congregation that was outside the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people arose, and every one stood at the door of his tent, and looked after Moses, until he entered into the tabernacle.
9 When Moses entered the tabernacle, the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and Jehovah spoke with Moses.
10 And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud that was at the door of the tabernacle, each one stood at the door of his tent and worshiped.
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face, as anyone speaks to his companion. And he returned to the camp; But the young Joshua son of Nun, his servant, never left the middle of the tabernacle.
12 And Moses said to Jehovah, See, you say to me, Bring out this people; and you have not told me who you will send with me. However, you say: I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in my eyes.
13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your eyes, I pray you, show me now your way, that I may know you, and find favor in your eyes; And look, these people are your people.
14 And he said, My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.
15 And Moses said, If your presence will not go with me, do not take us out from here.
16 And by what will it be known here that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, except that you walk with us, and that I and your people are separated from all the people that are on the face of the earth?
17 And Jehovah said to Moses, I will also do this which you have said, because you have found favor in my eyes, and I have known you by your name.
18 Then he said: Please show me your glory.
19 And he answered him, I will make all my good things pass before your face, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.
20 He said further: You will not be able to see my face; for no man will see me, and he will live.
21 And Jehovah said, Behold, a place beside me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock;
22 And when my glory passes, I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until it has passed.
23 Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face will not be seen.
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Smooth two tables of stone like the first, and I will write on those tables the words that were on the first tables that you broke.
2 Therefore prepare yourself for tomorrow, and go up to Mount Sinai in the morning, and stand before me on the top of the mountain.
3 And let no man go up with you, nor appear any in all the mountain; neither sheep nor oxen graze before the mountain.
4 And Moses smoothed two tables of stone like the first; And he arose early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as Jehovah commanded him, and he took the two tables of stone in his hand.
5 And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and was there with him, proclaiming the name of Jehovah.
6 And Jehovah passed before him and proclaimed, Jehovah! Jehovah! strong, merciful and pious; slow to anger, and abounding in mercy and truth;
7 that he keeps mercy for thousands, that he forgives iniquity, rebellion and sin, and that he will by no means hold the wicked innocent; that he visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.
8 Then Moses hastened and lowered his head to the ground and worshiped.
9 And he said, If now, Jehovah, I have found favor in your sight, let Jehovah now go among us; because it is a stiff-necked people; and forgive our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.
10 And he answered, Behold, I make a covenant before all your people; I will do wonders that have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation, and all the people among whom you are will see the work of Jehovah; because what I will do with you will be a tremendous thing.
11 Keep what I command you today; Behold, I will drive out the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite from before your presence.
12 Be careful not to make an alliance with the inhabitants of the land where you are going to enter, so that they will not be a stumbling block in your midst.
13 You will tear down their altars, break their statues, and cut down their Asherah images.
14 For you must not bow down to any other god, for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 Therefore you shall not make an alliance with the inhabitants of that land; for they will fornicate after their gods, and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices;
16 or by taking their daughters for your sons, and by fornicating their daughters after their gods, they will also cause your sons to commit fornication after their gods.
17 You shall not make molten gods for yourself.
18 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread; Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I have commanded you, at the appointed time of the month Abib; for in the month of Abib you left Egypt.
19 Every first-born is mine; and of your livestock every firstborn of cow or sheep, whether male.
20 But you will redeem the firstborn of the donkey with a lamb; and if you do not redeem him, you will break his neck. You will redeem all the firstborn of your children; and no one will come before me empty-handed.
21 Six days you will work, but on the seventh day you will rest; Even in plowing and harvesting, you will rest.
22 You will also celebrate the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of the First Fruits of the Wheat Harvest, and the Feast of Harvest at the end of the year.
23 Three times in the year every male of yours shall appear before Jehovah God, the God of Israel.
24 For I will drive out the nations from your presence, and I will enlarge your territory; and no one will covet your land, when you go up to appear before Jehovah your God three times in the year.
25 You shall not offer anything leavened with the blood of my sacrifice, nor shall any of the sacrifice of the Passover festival be left until the morning.
26 You shall bring the first fruits of your land to the house of Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk
27 And Jehovah said to Moses, Write these words; For according to these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.
28 And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; He ate no bread, nor drank water; and he wrote on tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
29 And it came to pass, as Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of testimony in his hand, as he came down from the mountain, that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone, after he had spoken with God.
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked at Moses, and, behold, the skin of his face was shining; and they were afraid to approach him.
31 Then Moses called them; and Aaron and all the princes of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
32 Then all the children of Israel came near, to whom he commanded everything that Jehovah had said to him on Mount Sinai.
33 And when Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 When Moses came before the Lord to speak with him, he took off his veil until he came out; And he went out and told the children of Israel what was commanded him.
35 And when the children of Israel looked at the face of Moses, they saw that the skin of his face was shining; and Moses again put the veil over his face, until he went in to speak with God.
1 Moses called together the entire congregation of the children of Israel and said to them, These are the things that Jehovah has commanded to be done:
2 Six days there will be work, but the seventh day will be holy to you, a day of rest to Jehovah; Anyone who does any work therein will die.
3 You shall not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath.
4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah has commanded:
5 Take from among yourselves an offering to Jehovah; every generous heart will bring it to Jehovah; gold, silver, bronze,
6 blue, purple, crimson, fine linen, goats’ hair,
7 rams’ skins dyed red, badgers’ skins, acacia wood,
8 oil for lighting, spices for anointing oil, and for fragrant incense,
9 and onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastplate.
10 Every wise-hearted among you will come and do all that Jehovah has commanded:
11 the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its brackets, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
12 the ark and its staves, the mercy seat, the veil of the tent;
13 the table and its poles, and all its utensils, and the shewbread;
14 the lampstand and its utensils, its lamps, and the oil for lighting;
15 the altar of incense and its staves, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the curtain of the door for the entrance of the tabernacle;
16 the altar of burnt offering, its bronze grating and its staves, and all its utensils, and the laver with its stand;
17 the curtains of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the curtain of the gate of the court;
18 the pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court and their ropes;
19 the vestments of service to minister in the sanctuary, the sacred vestments of Aaron the priest, and the vestments of his sons to serve in the priesthood.
20 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel went out from before Moses.
21 And every man whom his heart stirred up, and every one to whom his spirit gave will, came with an offering to Jehovah for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation and for all its work, and for the sacred garments. .
22 Both men and women came, all willing at heart, and they brought chains and earrings, rings and bracelets and all kinds of gold jewelry; and they all presented an offering of gold to Jehovah.
23 Every man who had blue, purple, crimson, fine linen, goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, or badgers’ skins brought them.
24 Everyone who offered an offering of silver or bronze brought the offering to Jehovah; and everyone who had acacia wood brought it for all the work of the service.
25 Furthermore, all the wise-hearted women spun with their hands, and brought back what they had spun: blue, purple, crimson, or fine linen.
26 And all the women whose hearts moved them in wisdom spun goat’s hair.
27 The princes brought onyx stones, and the setting stones for the ephod and the breastplate,
28 and the spices, and the oil for lighting, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29 Of the children of Israel, both men and women, all who had a willing heart to bring for all the work, which Jehovah had commanded them to do through Moses, brought a freewill offering to Jehovah.
30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, Behold, Jehovah hath appointed Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 and filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in science, and in all art,
32 to design designs, to work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,
33 and in the cutting of setting stones, and in wood work, to work in all ingenious work.
34 And he has put it in his heart to be able to teach, both he and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;
35 and has filled them with wisdom of heart, so that they may do every work of art and invention, and embroidery in blue, in purple, in crimson, in fine linen and in loom, so that they may do every work, and devise every design.
1 So then Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man to whom Jehovah gave wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of the sanctuary service, will do all the things that Jehovah has commanded.
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab and every man wise in heart, in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, every man whose heart moved him to come to the work to work thereon.
3 And they took from before Moses all the offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to do it. And they continued to bring him a freewill offering every morning.
4 So much so that all the masters who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each one of the work he was doing,
5 and spoke to Moses, saying: The people bring much more than is needed for the work that Jehovah has commanded to be done. is made.
6 Then Moses commanded to proclaim throughout the camp, saying, Let no man or woman do more for the sanctuary offering. Thus the people were prevented from offering more;
7 because they had abundant material to do all the work, and there was plenty.
8 All the wise of heart among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and crimson; They made them with cherubs of exquisite workmanship.
9 The length of a curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width four cubits; All the curtains were of equal size.
10 He joined five of the curtains together, and he also joined the other five curtains together.
11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of the curtain that was at the end of the first row; and he did the same on the edge of the final curtain of the second series.
12 He made fifty loops in the first curtain, and another fifty in the edge of the curtain of the second row; The loops of one corresponded to those of the other.
13 He also made fifty hooks of gold, with which he fastened the curtains one to another, and thus a tabernacle was formed.
14 He also made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he made.
15 The length of a curtain was thirty cubits, and the width four cubits; The eleven curtains had the same measure.
16 And he joined five of the curtains apart, and the other six curtains apart.
17 He also made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was at the end of the first series, and another fifty loops on the edge of the curtain at the end of the second series.
18 He also made fifty bronze hooks to fasten the tent together, so that it would be one.
19 And he made for the tent a covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and another covering of badgers’ skins on top.
20 He also made straight boards of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width was a cubit and a half.
22 Each board had two tenons, to join them one to another; Thus he made all the tables of the tabernacle.
23 So he made the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards on the south side, at noon.
24 He also made forty silver bases under the twenty boards: two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty other boards,
26 with their forty silver sockets; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
27 And for the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards.
28 For the corners of the tabernacle on the two sides he made two boards,
29 which were joined together from below, and fitted with a hinge above; so he made both the one and the other in the two corners.
30 So there were eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen; two bases under each board.
31 He also made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle,
32 five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards on the back side of the tabernacle toward the west.

8 One cherub at one end, and another cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubs at its two ends.
9 And the cherubim spread their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings; and their faces facing each other looked toward the mercy seat.
10 He also made the table of acacia wood; Its length was two cubits, its width was one cubit, and its height was a cubit and a half;
11 And he covered it with pure gold, and made a cornice of gold around it.
12 He also made a molding about a hand’s width around it, and made a cornice of gold around the molding.
13 He also made it four rings of cast gold, and placed them on the four corners that corresponded to the four legs of it.
14 Under the molding were the rings, through which the poles were inserted to carry the table.
15 And he made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and covered them with gold.
16 He also made the utensils that were to be on the table, its plates, its spoons, its cutlery, and its drinking bowls, of fine gold.
17 He also made the lampstand of pure gold, hammered; Its stem, its reed, its cups, its apples and its flowers were of the same.

19 In one arm, three cups in the shape of an almond blossom, an apple and a flower, and in another arm three cups in the shape of an almond blossom, an apple and a flower; thus in the six arms that came out of the lampstand.

2 He also made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, crimson, and fine twined linen.
3 And they beat sheets of gold, and cut threads to weave them among the blue, the purple, the crimson, and the linen, with exquisite workmanship.
4 They made the shoulder pieces so that they could be joined together, and they were joined together at their two ends.
5 And the belt of the ephod that was on it was of the same, of equal workmanship; of gold, blue, purple, crimson, and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

10 And they set in it four rows of stones. The first row was a sardium, a topaz and a carbuncle; This was the first row.
11 The second row, an emerald, a sapphire and a diamond.
12 The third row, a hyacinth, an agate and an amethyst.

14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve according to their names; like seal engravings, each with its name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 They also made braided cords of pure gold on the breastplate.
16 They also made two settings and two rings of gold, and they put two gold rings on the two ends of the breastplate,
17 and they fastened the two gold cords in those two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
18 They also fixed the other two ends of the two golden cords in the two settings that they placed on the shoulder pieces of the ephod in front.
19 And they made two more gold rings, which they put on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, opposite the lower part of the ephod.
20 They also made two gold rings and put them on the front of the two shoulder straps of the ephod, down near their joint, on the belt of the ephod.
21 And they tied the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be on the belt of the ephod itself and the breastplate would not be separated from the ephod, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22 He also made the mantle of the ephod of weaver’s work, all of blue,

31 And they put a blue cord on it to place it on the miter above, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the congregation; and the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses; so they did it.
33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tabernacle and all its utensils; its brackets, its tables, its bars, its columns, its bases;

42 According to all the things that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.
43 And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it as Jehovah had commanded; and he blessed them.
1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying:
2 On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the congregation;
3 and you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and cover it with the veil.
4 You will set the table and put it in order; You shall also bring in the lampstand and light its lamps,
5 and you shall place the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and you shall place the curtain before the entrance of the tabernacle.
6 Then you will place the altar of burnt offering before the entrance of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 Then you shall place the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water in it.
8 Finally you will put the court around it, and the curtain at the entrance to the court.
9 And you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it; and you will sanctify it with all its utensils, and it will be holy.
10 You will also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; and you shall sanctify the altar, and it shall be a most holy altar.
11 You shall also anoint the fountain and its base, and sanctify it.
12 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and you shall wash them with water.
13 And you shall put on Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him, and consecrate him, that he may be my priest.
14 Then you will bring his sons near, and you will put on their tunics;
15 And you will anoint them, as you anointed their father, and they will be my priests, and their anointing will serve as a perpetual priesthood to their generations.
16 And Moses did according to all that Jehovah commanded him; so he did it.
17 So on the first day of the first month, in the second year, the tabernacle was erected.
18 Moses set up the tabernacle, set up its sockets, set up its boards, set up its bars, and set up its pillars.
19 He pitched the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering over it, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
20 And he took the testimony and put it into the ark, and placed the staves in the ark, and the mercy seat on top of the ark.
21 Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and spread the veil, and hid the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22 He set the table in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the north side of the curtain, outside the veil,
23 and arranged the loaves on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 He put the lampstand in the tabernacle of the congregation, in front of the table, on the south side of the curtain,
25 and he lit the lamps before Jehovah, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
26 He also set the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation, before the veil,
27 and he burned sweet incense on it, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
28 He also put up the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle.
29 And he placed the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the congregation, and sacrificed burnt offering and offering on it, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
30 And he placed the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
31 And Moses and Aaron and their sons washed their hands and their feet in it.
32 When they entered the tabernacle of the congregation, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
33 Finally he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and put the curtain at the entrance to the court. This is how Moses finished the work.
34 Then a cloud covered the tabernacle of the congregation, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses could not enter into the tabernacle of the congregation, because the cloud was upon it, and the glory of Jehovah filled it.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel moved on all their journeys;
37 But if the cloud was not lifted, they did not move until the day it was lifted.
38 For the cloud of Jehovah was over the tabernacle by day, and the fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, all the days of it.
