29 1 The manner of consecrating the Priests. 38 The continual sacrifice. 45 The Lord promiseth to dwell among the children of Israel.
1 This thing also shalt thou do unto them, when thou consecratest them to be my Priests, (A)Take a young calf, and two rams without blemish,
2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: (of fine wheat flour shalt thou make them).
3 Then thou shalt put them in one basket, and [a]present them in the basket with the calf and the two rams,
4 And shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.
5 Also thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the tunicle, and the [b]robe of the Ephod, and the Ephod, and the breastplate, and shalt close them to him with the broidered girdle of the Ephod.
6 Then thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and shalt put the holy (B)crown upon the mitre.
7 And thou shalt take the anointing (C)oil, and shalt pour upon his head and anoint him.
8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
9 And shalt gird them with girdles, both Aaron and his sons: and shalt put the bonnets on them, and the Priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual law: thou (D)shalt also [c]fill the hands of Aaron, and the hands of his sons.
10 After, thou shalt present the calf before the Tabernacle of the congregation, (E)and Aaron and his sons shall [d]put their hands upon the head of the calf.
11 So shalt thou kill the calf before the Lord, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 Then thou shalt take of the blood of the calf, and put it upon the horns of the Altar with thy finger, and shalt pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the Altar.
13 (F)Also thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul, that is on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shalt burn them upon the Altar.
14 But the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung shalt thou burn with fire without the host: it is a [e]sin offering.
15 ¶ Thou shalt also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 Then thou shalt kill the ram, and take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the Altar,
17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him and his legs, and shalt put them upon the pieces thereof, and upon his head.
18 So thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the Altar: for it is a burnt offering unto the Lord [f]for a sweet savor: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
19 And shalt thou take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it [g]upon the lap of Aaron’s ear, and upon the lap of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and shalt sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is [h]upon the Altar, and of the anointing oil, and shalt sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: so he shall be hallowed, and his clothes, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
22 Also thou shalt take of the rams the fat and the rump, even the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, (for it is the [i]ram of consecration).
23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of bread tempered with oil, and one wafer, out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord:
24 And thou shalt put all this in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons, and shalt shake them to and fro before the Lord.
25 Again, thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar besides the burnt offering for a sweet savor before the Lord: for this is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
26 Likewise thou shalt take the breast of the ram of the consecration, which is for Aaron, and shalt shake it to [j]and fro before the Lord, and it shall be thy part.
27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the shaken offering, and the shoulder of the [k]heave offering, which was shaken to and fro, and which was heaved up of the ram of the consecration which was for Aaron, and which was for his sons.
28 And Aaron and his sons shall have it by a statute forever, of the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering, and it shall be an heave offering of the children of Israel, of their [l]peace offerings, even their heave offering to the Lord.
29 ¶ And the holy garments which appertain to Aaron, shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated therein.
30 That son that shall be Priest in his stead, shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the holy place.
31 ¶ So thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
32 (G)And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
33 So they shall eat these things, [m]whereby their atonement was made, to consecrate them, and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy things.
34 Now if ought of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the rest with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is an holy thing.
35 Therefore shalt thou do thus unto Aaron and unto his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou [n]consecrate them.
36 And shalt offer every day a calf for a sin offering, for [o]reconciliation: and thou shalt cleanse the Altar, when thou hast offered upon it for reconciliation, and shalt anoint it to sanctify it.
37 Seven days shalt thou cleanse the Altar and sanctify it, so the Altar shall be most holy: and whatsoever toucheth the Altar, shall be holy.
38 ¶ (H)Now this is that which thou shalt present upon the altar: even two lambs of one year old, day by day continually.
39 The one lamb thou shalt present in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt present at even.
40 And with the one lamb, a [p]tenth part of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of an [q]Hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of an Hin of wine for a drink offering.
41 And the other lamb thou shalt present at even: thou shalt do thereto according to the offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, to be a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
42 This shall be a continually burnt offering in your generations at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord, where I will [r]make appointment with you, to speak there unto thee.
43 There I will appoint with the children of Israel, and the place shall be sanctified by my [s]glory.
44 And I will sanctify the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar: I will sanctify also Aaron and his sons to be my Priests,
45 And I will (I)dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: [t]I am the Lord their God.
30 The Altar of incense. 13 The sum that the Israelites should pay to the Tabernacle. 28 The brazen laver. 33 The anointing oil. 34 The making of the perfume.
1 Furthermore thou shalt make an Altar [u]for sweet perfume, of Shittim wood thou shalt make it.
2 The length thereof a cubit, and the breadth thereof a cubit, (it shall be foursquare) and the height thereof two cubits: the horns thereof shall be [v]of the same.
3 And thou shalt overlay it with fine gold, both the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and his horns: also thou shalt make unto it [w]a crown of gold round about.
4 Besides this thou shalt make under this crown two golden rings on either side: even on every side shalt thou make them, that they may be as places for the bars to bear it withal.
5 The which bars thou shalt make of Shittim wood, and shalt cover them with gold.
6 After thou shalt set it [x]before the veil, that is near the Ark of the Testimony, before the Mercy seat that is upon the Testimony, where I will appoint with thee.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he [y]dresseth the lamps thereof, shall he burn it.
8 Likewise at even, when Aaron setteth up the lamps thereof, he shall burn incense: this perfume shall be perpetually before the Lord, throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no [z]strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offering, neither pour any drink offering [aa]thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering in the day of reconciliation: once in the year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your generations: this is most holy unto the Lord.
11 ¶ Afterward the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 (J)When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then they shall give every man [ab]a redemption of his life unto the Lord, when thou tellest them, that there be no plague among them when thou countest them.
13 This shall every man give, that goeth into the number, half a shekel, after the [ac]shekel of the Sanctuary: ((K)a shekel is twenty gerahs) the half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord.
14 All that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord.
15 The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not diminish from half a shekel, when ye shall give an offering unto the Lord, [ad]for the redemption of your lives.
16 So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it unto the use of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, for the redemption of your lives.
17 ¶ Also the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also make a Laver of brass, and his foot of brass to wash, and shalt put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and shalt put water therein.
19 For Aaron and his sons shall [ae]wash their hands, and their feet thereat.
20 When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they go unto the Altar to minister, and to make the perfume of the burnt offering to the Lord, they shall wash themselves with water, lest they die.
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet that they die not: and this shall be to them an ordinance [af]forever, both unto him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 ¶ Also the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices: of the most pure myrrh five hundred [ag]shekels, of sweet cinnamon half so much, that is, two hundred and fifty, and of sweet [ah]calamus, two hundred, and fifty:
24 Also of Cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, and of oil olive an (L)Hin.
25 So thou shalt make of it the oil of holy ointment, even a most precious ointment after the art of the Apothecary: this shall be the oil of holy ointment.
26 And thou shalt anoint the [ai]Tabernacle of the Congregation therewith, and the Ark of the Testimony:
27 Also the Table, and all the instruments thereof, and the Candlestick, with all the instruments thereof, and the altar of incense:
28 Also the altar of burnt offering with all his instruments, and the laver and his foot.
29 So thou shalt sanctify them, and they shall be most holy: all that shall touch them, shall be holy.
30 Thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the Priest’s office.
31 Moreover thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me, throughout your generations.
32 None shall anoint [aj]man’s flesh therewith, neither shall ye make any composition like unto it: for it is holy, and shall be holy unto you.
33 Whosoever shall make the like ointment, or whosoever shall put any of it upon [ak]a stranger, even he shall be cut off from his people.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee these spices, pure myrrh and [al]clear gum and galbanum, these odors with pure frankincense of each like weight:
35 Then thou shalt make of them perfume composed after the art of the apothecary, mingled together, pure and holy.
36 And thou shalt beat it to powder, and shalt put it before the Ark of the Testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will make appointment with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37 And ye shall not make unto you any composition like this perfume, which thou shalt make: it shall be unto thee holy for the [am]Lord.
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that to smell thereto, even he shall be cut off from his people.
31 2 God maketh Bezalel and Aholiab meet for his work. 13 The Sabbath day is the sign of our sanctification. 18 The Tables written by the finger of God.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Behold, I [an]have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
3 Whom I have filled with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all [ao]workmanship:
4 To find out curious works to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 Also in the art to set stones, and to carve in timber, and to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 And behold, I have joined him with Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that are [ap]wise hearted, have I put wisdom to make all that I have commanded thee:
7 That is, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Ark of the Testimony, and the Mercy seat that shall be thereupon, with all instruments of the Tabernacle:
8 Also the Table and the instruments thereof, and the [aq]pure Candlestick with all his instruments, and the Altar of perfume:
9 Likewise the Altar of burnt offering with all his instruments, and the Laver with his foot:
10 Also the garments of the ministration, and the holy garment for Aaron the Priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the Priest’s office,
11 And the [ar]anointing oil, and sweet perfume for the Sanctuary according to all that I have commanded thee, shall they do.
12 ¶ Afterward the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, and say, [as]Notwithstanding keep ye my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you in your generations, that ye may know that I the Lord do sanctify you.
14 (M)Ye shall therefore keep the [at]Sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that defileth it, shall die the death: therefore whosoever worketh therein, the same person shall be even cut off from among his people.
15 Six days shall men work, but in the seventh day is the Sabbath of the holy rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, shall die the death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, that they may observe the [au]rest throughout their generations for an everlasting Covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: (N)for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and in the seventh day [av]he ceased and rested.
18 Thus (when the Lord had made an end of communing with Moses upon mount Sinai) (O)he gave him two Tables [aw]of the Testimony, even tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
32 4 The Israelites impute their deliverance to the calf. 14 God is appeased by Moses’ prayer. 19 Moses breaketh the Tables.
1 But when the people saw, that Moses tarried long ere he came down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together against Aaron, and said unto him, Up, [ax]make us gods to go before us: for of this Moses (the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt) we know not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron said unto them, [ay]Pluck off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 Then all the people plucked from [az]themselves the golden earrings, which were in their ears, and they brought them unto Aaron.
4 (P)Who received them at their hands, and fashioned it with the graving tool, and made of it a [ba]molten calf: then they said, (Q)These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
5 When Aaron saw that, he made an Altar before it: and Aaron proclaimed, saying, Tomorrow shall be the holy day of the Lord.
6 So they rose up the next day in the morning, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings: also (R)the people sat them down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 ¶ Then the Lord said unto Moses, (S)Go get thee down: for thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath corrupted their ways.
8 They [bb]are soon turned out of the way, which I commanded them: for they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have offered thereto, saying, (T)These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
9 Again the Lord said unto Moses, (U)I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
10 Now [bc]therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, for I will consume them: but I will make of thee a mighty people
11 (V)But Moses prayed unto the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 (W)Wherefore shall the Egyptians [bd]speak, and say, He hath brought them out maliciously for to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the earth? turn from thy fierce wrath, and [be]change thy mind from this evil toward thy people.
13 Remember [bf]Abraham, Isaac, and Israel thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidest unto them, (X)I will multiply your seed, as the stars of heaven, and all this land, that I have spoken of, will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.
14 Then the Lord changed his mind from the evil, which he threatened to do unto his people.
15 So Moses returned and went down from the mountain with the two Tables of the Testimony in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides, even on the one side and on the other were they written.
16 And these Tables were the work of God, and [bg]this writing was the writing of God graven in the Tables.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people, as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the host.
18 Who answered, It is not the noise of them that have the victory, nor the noise of them that are overcome: but I do hear the noise of singing.
19 Now, as soon as he came near unto the host, he saw the calf and the dancing: so Moses’ wrath waxed hot, and he cast the Tables out of his hands, and brake them in pieces beneath the mountain.
20 (Y)After, he took the calf, which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it unto powder, and strowed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel [bh]drink of it.
21 Also Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord wax fierce: Thou knowest this people, that they are even set on mischief.
23 And they said unto me, Make us gods to go before us: for we know not what is become of this Moses (the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt).
24 Then I said to them, Ye that have gold, pluck it off: and they brought it me, and I did cast it into the fire, and thereof came this calf.
25 Moses therefore saw that the people were [bi]naked (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies)
26 And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who pertaineth to the Lord? let them come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves unto him.
27 Then he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword by his side, go to and fro, from gate to gate, through the host, and [bj]slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
28 So the children of Levi did as Moses had commanded: and there fell of the people the same day about three thousand men.
29 (For Moses had said, Consecrate your hands unto the Lord this day, even every man upon his [bk]son, and upon his brother, that there may be given you a blessing this day.)
30 And when the morning came, Moses said unto the people, Ye have committed a grievous crime: but now I will go up to the Lord, if I may pacify him for your sin.
31 Moses therefore went again unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Therefore now if thou pardon their sin, thy mercy shall appear: but if thou wilt not, I pray thee, raise me [bl]out of thy book, which thou hast written.
33 Then the Lord said to Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, I will put him out of my [bm]book.
34 Go now therefore, bring the people unto the place which I commanded thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee, but yet in the day of my visitation I will visit their sin upon them.
35 [bn]So the Lord plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make the calf which he made.
33 2 God promiseth to send an Angel before his people. 4 They are sad because the Lord denieth to go up with them. 9 Moses talketh familiarly with God. 13 He prayeth for the people.
1 Afterward the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, [bo]go up from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt) unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, (Z)Unto thy seed will I give it.
2 And (AA)I will send an Angel before thee, and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
3 To a land, I say, that floweth with milk and honey: for I will not go up with thee, (AB)because thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee in the way.
4 And when the people heard this evil tidings, they sorrowed, and no man put on his best raiment.
5 (For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people, I will come suddenly upon thee and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly raiment from thee, that I may know [bp]what to do unto thee.)
6 So the children of Israel laid their good raiment from them, after Moses came down from the mount Horeb.
7 Then Moses took his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host far off from the host, and called it [bq]Ohel-moed. And when any did seek to the Lord, he went out unto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the host.
8 And when Moses went out unto the Tabernacle, all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tabernacle.
9 And as soon as Moses was entered into the Tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10 Now when all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the Tabernacle door, all the people rose up, and worshipped every man in his tent door.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, [br]face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. After he turned again into the host, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun a young man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
12 ¶ Then Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Lead this people forth, and thou hast not showed me whom thou wilt send with me: thou hast said moreover, I know thee by [bs]name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, and that I may find grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people.
14 And he answered, My [bt][bu]presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 Then he said unto him, If thy presence go not with us, carry us not hence.
16 And wherein now shall it be known, that I and thy people have found favor in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with us? so I, and thy people shall have preeminence before all the people that are upon the earth.
17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this also that thou hast said: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 Again he said, I beseech thee, show me thy [bv]glory.
19 And he answered, I will make all my [bw]good go before thee, and I will [bx]proclaim the Name of the Lord before thee: (AC)for I will show [by]mercy to whom I will show mercy, and will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
20 Furthermore he said, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and [bz]live.
21 Also the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by [ca]me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock:
22 And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with mine hand while I pass by.
23 After I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my [cb]back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
34 1 The Tables are renewed. 6 The description of God. 12 All fellowship with idolaters is forbidden. 18 The feasts. 28 Moses is 40 days in the mount. 30 His face shineth, and he covereth it with a veil.
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, (AD)Hew thee two Tables of stone, like unto the first, and I will write upon the Tables the words that were in the first Tables, which thou brakest in pieces.
2 And be ready in the morning, that thou mayest come up early unto the mount of Sinai, and [cc]wait there for me in the top of the mount.
3 But let no man come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the sheep nor cattle feed [cd]before this mount.
4 Then Moses hewed [ce]two Tables of stone like unto the first, and rose up early in the morning, and went up unto the mount of Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two Tables of stone.
5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
6 So the Lord passed before his face, and [cf]cried, The Lord, the Lord, strong, merciful, and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
7 Reserving mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, and transgression and sin, and not [cg]making the wicked innocent, (AE)visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon children’s children, unto the third and fourth generation.
8 Then Moses made haste and bowed himself to the earth, and worshipped,
9 And said, O Lord, I pray thee, If I have found grace in thy sight, that the Lord would now go with us ([ch]for it is a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10 And he answered, Behold, (AF)I will make a covenant before all thy people, and will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the world, neither in all nations: and all the people among whom thou art, shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11 Keep diligently that which I command thee this day: Behold, I will cast out before thee the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
12 (AG)Take heed to thyself, that thou make no compact with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest they be the cause of [ci]ruin among you:
13 But ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their images in pieces, and cut down their [cj]groves,
14 (For thou shalt bow down to none other god, because the Lord, whose Name is (AH)Jealous, is a jealous God.)
15 Lest thou make a (AI)compact with the inhabitants of the land, and when they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, some man call thee, and thou (AJ)eat of his sacrifice.
16 And lest thou take of their (AK)daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 Thou shalt make thee no gods of [ck]metal.
18 The feast of (AL)unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the (AM)month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou camest out of Egypt.
19 (AN)Every male that first openeth the womb, shall be mine: also all the firstborn of thy flock shall be reckoned mine, both of beeves and sheep.
20 But the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then thou shalt break his neck: all the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou redeem, and none shall appear before me(AO)[cl]empty.
21 ¶ (AP)Six days shalt thou work, and in the seventh day thou shalt rest: both in earing time, and in the harvest thou shalt rest.
22 ¶ (AQ)Thou shalt also observe the feast of weeks in the time of the firstfruits, of wheat harvest, and the feast of gathering fruits in [cm]the end of the year.
23 ¶ (AR)Thrice in a year shall all your men children appear before the Lord Jehovah God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before thee and enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall [cn]desire thy land, when thou shalt come up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice in the year.
25 (AS)Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passover be left unto the morning.
26 The first ripe fruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not [co]seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
27 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of (AT)these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 So he was there with the Lord [cp]forty days and forty nights, and did neither eat bread nor drink water, and he wrote in the Tables (AU)the words of the covenant, even the [cq]Ten commandments.
29 ¶ So when Moses came down from mount Sinai, the two Tables of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand, as he descended from the mount: (now Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone bright, after that God had talked with him).
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked upon Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone bright, and they were [cr]afraid to come near him.
31 But Moses called them: and Aaron and all the chief of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he charged them with all that the Lord had said unto him in mount Sinai.
33 So Moses made an end of communing with them, (AV)and had put a covering upon his face.
34 But, when Moses came [cs]before the Lord to speak with him, he took off the covering until he came out: then he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, how the skin of Moses’ face shone bright: therefore Moses put the covering upon his face, until he went to speak with God.
35 2 The Sabbath. 5 The free gifts are required. 21 The readiness of the people to offer. 30 Bezalel and Aholiab are praised of Moses.
1 Then Moses assembled all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them:
2 (AW)Six days thou shalt work, but the seventh day shall be unto you the holy [ct]Sabbath of rest unto the Lord: whosoever doeth any work therein, shall die.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations upon the Sabbath day.
4 ¶ Again, Moses spake unto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, saying,
5 Take from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a (AX)willing heart, let him bring this offering to the Lord, namely gold, and silver and brass:
6 Also blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
7 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins with Shittim wood:
8 Also oil for light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the breastplate.
10 And all the wise [cu]hearted among you, shall come and make all that the Lord hath commanded:
11 That is, the (AY)Tabernacle, the pavilion thereof, and his covering, and his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12 The Ark, and the bars thereof: the Mercy seat, and the veil that [cv]covereth it,
13 The Table, and the bars of it, and all the instruments thereof, and the showbread:
14 Also the Candlestick of light and his instruments, and his lamps with the oil for the light:
15 (AZ)Likewise the Altar of perfume and his bars, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the veil of the door at the entering in of the Tabernacle,
16 The (BA)Altar of burnt offering with his brazen grate, his bars and all his instruments, the laver and his foot,
17 The hangings of the court, his pillars and his sockets, and the veil of the gate of the court,
18 The pins of the Tabernacle, and the pins of the court with their cords,
19 The [cw]ministering garments to minister in the holy place, and the holy garments of Aaron the Priest, and the garments of his sons, that they may minister in the Priest’s office.
20 ¶ Then all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And every one, whose heart [cx]encouraged him, and every one, whose spirit made him willing, came and brought an offering to the Lord, for the work of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and for all his uses, and for the holy garments.
22 Both men and women, as many as were free hearted, came and brought [cy]taches and earrings, and rings, and bracelets, all were jewels of gold: and every one that offered an offering of gold unto the Lord:
23 Every man also, which had blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, brought them.
24 All that offered an oblation of silver and of brass, brought the offering unto the Lord: and every one, that [cz]had Shittim wood for any manner work of the ministration, brought it.
25 And all the women that were [da]wise-hearted, did spin with their hands, and brought the spun work, even the blue silk, and the purple, the scarlet, and fine linen.
26 Likewise all the women, [db]whose hearts were moved with knowledge, spun goats’ hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the breastplate:
28 Also spice, and oil for light, and for the (BB)anointing oil, and for the sweet perfume.
29 Every man and woman of the children of Israel, whose hearts moved them willingly to bring for all the work which the Lord had commanded them to make [dc]by the hand of Moses, brought a free offering unto the Lord.
30 ¶ Then Moses said unto the children of Israel, Behold, (BC)the Lord hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah,
31 And hath filled him [dd]with an excellent spirit of wisdom, of understanding, and of knowledge, and in all manner work,
32 To find out curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in graving stones to set them, and in carving of wood, even to make any manner of fine work.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach other: both he, and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan:
35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart to work all manner [de]of cunning (BD)and broidered, and needle work: in blue silk, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen and weaving, even to do all manner of work and subtle inventions.
36 5 The great readiness of the people. 8 The curtains made. 19 The coverings. 20 The boards. 31 The bars, 35 and the veil.
1 Then wrought Bezalel, and Aholiab, and all [df]cunning men, to whom the Lord gave wisdom, and understanding, to know how to work all manner work for the service of the [dg]Sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded.
2 For Moses had called Bezalel, and Aholiab, and all the wise-hearted men, in whose hearts the Lord had given wisdom, even as many as their hearts encouraged to come unto that work to work it.
3 And they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the Sanctuary, to make it: also [dh]they brought still unto him free gifts every morning.
4 So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy work, came every man from his work which they wrought,
5 And spake to Moses, saying, The people bring too [di]much, and more than enough for the use of the work, which the Lord hath commanded to be made.
6 Then Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the host, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the oblations of the Sanctuary. So the people were stayed from offering.
7 For the stuff they had, was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8 (BE)All the cunning men therefore among the workmen, made for the Tabernacle ten curtains of fine twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet: [dj]Cherubims of broidered work made they upon them.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the curtains were all of one size.
10 And he coupled five curtains together, and another five coupled he together.
11 And he made strings of blue silk by the edge of one curtain, in the selvedge of the coupling: likewise he made on the side of the other curtain in the selvedge in the second coupling.
12 (BF)Fifty strings made he in the one curtain, and fifty strings made he in the edge of the other curtain, which was in the second coupling: the strings were set one against another.
13 After, he made fifty [dk]taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the taches: so was it one Tabernacle.
14 ¶ Also he made curtains of goats’ hair for the [dl]covering upon the Tabernacle: he made them to the number of eleven curtains.
15 The length of one curtain had thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains were of one size.
16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 Also he made fifty strings upon the edge of one curtain in the selvedge in the coupling, and fifty strings made he upon the edge of the other curtain in the second coupling.
18 He made also fifty taches of brass to couple the covering that it might be one.
19 And he made a [dm]covering upon the pavilion of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above.
20 ¶ Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of Shittim wood to [dn]stand up.
21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of one board was a cubit and an half.
22 One board had two tenons, set in order as the feet of a ladder, one against another: thus made he for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
23 So he made twenty boards for the South side of the Tabernacle, even full South.
24 And forty sockets of silver made he under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
25 Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twenty boards.
26 And their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 Likewise toward [do]the West side of the Tabernacle he made six boards.
28 And two boards made he in the corners of the Tabernacle for either side,
29 And they were (BG)joined beneath, and likewise were made sure above with a ring: thus he did to both in both corners.
30 So there were eight boards, and their sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 ¶ After, he made (BH)bars of Shittim wood, five for the boards in the one side of the Tabernacle,
32 And five bars for the boards in the other side of the Tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the West.
33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards, from the one end to the other.
34 He overlaid also the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and covered the bars with gold.
35 ¶ Moreover he made a [dp]veil of blue silk and purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen: with Cherubims of broidered work made he it:
36 And made thereunto four pillars of Shittim, and overlaid them with gold: whose [dq]hooks were also of gold, and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 And he made an [dr]hanging for the Tabernacle door, of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, and needle work,
38 And the five pillars of it with their hooks, and overlaid their chapiters, and their [ds]fillets with gold, but their five sockets were of brass.
37 1 The Ark. 6 The Mercy seat. 10 The Table. 17 The Candlestick. 25 The altar of incense.
1 After this, Bezalel made the (BI)Ark of Shittim wood, two cubits and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and a cubit and an half high:
2 And overlaid it with fine gold within and without, and made a [dt]crown of gold to it round about,
3 And cast for it four rings of gold for the four corners of it: that is, two rings for the one side of it, and two rings for the other side thereof.
4 Also he made bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with gold,
5 And put the bars in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
6 ¶ And he made the (BJ)Mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and an half was the length thereof, and one cubit and an half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two Cherubims of gold, upon the two ends of the Mercy seat: even of work beaten with the hammer made he them.
8 One Cherub on the one end, and another Cherub on the other end: [du]of the Mercy seat made he the Cherubims, at the two ends thereof.
9 And the Cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered the Mercy seat with their wings and their faces were one towards another: toward the Mercy seat were the faces of the Cherubims.
10 ¶ Also he made the Table of Shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and an half the height of it.
11 And he overlaid it with fine gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about.
12 Also he made thereto a border of an [dv]hand breadth round about, and made upon the border a crown of gold round about.
13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
14 Against the border were the rings, as places for the bars to bear the Table.
15 And he made the bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with gold to bear the Table.
16 (BK)Also he made the instruments for the Table of pure gold: dishes for it, and incense cups for it, and goblets for it, and coverings for it, wherewith it should be covered.
17 ¶ Likewise he made the Candlestick of pure gold: of work beaten out with the hammer made he the Candlestick: and his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers were of one piece.
18 And six branches came out of the sides thereof: three branches of the Candlestick out of the one side of it, and three branches of the Candlestick out of the other side of it.
19 In one branch three bowls made like almonds, a knop and a flower: and in another branch three bowls made like almonds, a knop and a flower: and so throughout the six branches that proceeded out of the Candlestick.
20 And upon the Candlestick were four bowls after the fashion of almonds, the knops thereof and the flowers thereof.
21 That is, under every two branches a knop made thereof, and a knop under the second branch thereof, and a knop under the third branch thereof, according to the six branches coming out of it.
22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: it was all one (BL)beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he made for it seven lamps with the snuffers, and snuffdishes thereof of pure gold.
24 Of a [dw]talent of pure gold made he it with all the instruments thereof.
25 ¶ Furthermore he made the (BM)perfume altar of Shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit (it was square) and two cubits high, and the horns thereof were of the same.
26 And he covered it with pure gold, both the top and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it, and made unto it a crown of gold round about.
27 And he made two rings of gold for it, under the crown thereof in the two corners of the two sides thereof, to put bars in for to bear it therewith.
28 Also he made the bars of Shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the holy (BN)anointing oil, and the sweet pure incense after the apothecary’s art.
38 1 The altar of burnt offerings. 8 The brazen Laver. 9 The Court. 24 The sum of that the people offered.
1 Also he made the altar of the burnt offering of (BO)Shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof: it was square and three cubits high.
2 And he made unto it horns in the four corners thereof: the horns thereof were of the same, and he overlaid it with brass.
3 Also he made all the instruments of the altar: the [dx]ashpans, and the besoms and the basins, the fleshhooks, and the (BP)censers: all the instruments thereof made he of brass.
4 Moreover, he made a brazen grate wrought like a net to the Altar, under the compass of it beneath in the [dy]midst of it.
5 And cast four rings of brass for the four ends of the grate to put bars in.
6 And he made the bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with brass.
7 The which bars he put into the rings on the sides of the altar to bear it withal, and made it (BQ)hollow within the boards.
8 ¶ Also he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass of the [dz]glasses of the women that did assemble and came together at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
9 ¶ Finally, he made the court on the South side full South: the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, having an hundred cubits.
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brazen sockets twenty: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And on the North side the hangings were an hundred cubits: their pillars twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty, the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets of silver.
12 On the west side also were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars with their ten sockets: the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets of silver.
13 And toward the East side, full East were hangings of fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side were fifteen cubits, their three pillars, and their three sockets:
15 (BR)And of the other side of the court gate on both sides were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 But the sockets of the pillars were of brass: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver, and the covering of their chapiters of silver: and all the pillars of the court were hooped about with silver.
18 He made also the hanging of the gate of the court of needle work, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen even twenty cubits long, and five cubits in height and breadth, [ea]like the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four with their four sockets of brass: their hooks of silver, and the covering of the chapiters, and their fillets of silver.
20 But all the (BS)pins of the Tabernacle and of the court round about were of brass.
21 ¶ These are the parts of the Tabernacle, I mean, of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which was appointed by the commandment of Moses for the office of the [eb]Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the Priest.
22 So Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
23 And with him Aholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a [ec]cunning workman and an embroiderer, and a worker of needle work in blue silk, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.
24 All the gold that was occupied in all the work wrought for the holy place (which was the gold of the offering) was nine and twenty talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.
25 But the silver of them that were numbered in the Congregation, was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
26 A [ed]portion for a man, that is, half a shekel after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for all them that were numbered from twenty years old and above, among six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty men.
27 Moreover there were an hundred talents of silver, to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil: an hundred sockets of an hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 But he made the hooks for the pillars of a thousand seven hundred and seventy and five shekels, and overlaid their chapiters, and made fillets about them.
29 Also the brass of the offering was seventy [ee]talents, and two thousand, and four hundred shekels.
30 Whereof he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate which was for it, with all the instruments of the Altar.
31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the (BT)pins of the Tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
39 1 The apparel of Aaron and his sons. 32 All that the Lord commanded was made, and finished. 43 Moses blesseth the people.
1 Moreover they made [ef]garments of ministration to minister in the Sanctuary of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet: they (BU)made also the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2 So he made the Ephod of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue silk and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with broidered work.
4 For the which they made shoulders to couple together: for it was closed by the two edges thereof.
5 And the broidered girdle of his Ephod that was upon him, was of the same stuff, and of like work: even of gold, of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 ¶ And they wrought (BV)two Onyx stones closed in ouches of gold, and graved, as [eg]signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And put them on the shoulders of the Ephod, as stones for a (BW)remembrance of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8 ¶ Also he made the breastplate of broidered work like the work of the Ephod: to wit, of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 They made the breast plate double, and it was square an hand breadth long, and an hand breadth broad: it was also double.
10 And they filled it with four rows of stones. The order was thus, a Ruby, a Topaz, and a Carbuncle in the first row.
11 And in the second row an Emerald, a Sapphire, and a Diamond:
12 Also in the third row [eh]a Turquoise, an Agate, and an Hematite:
13 Likewise in the fourth row a Chrysolite, an Onyx, and a Jasper: closed and set in ouches of gold.
14 So the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, even twelve [ei]after their names, graven like signets, every one after his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 After, they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work and pure gold.
16 They made also two bosses of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two corners of the breastplate.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings, in the corners of the breastplate.
18 Also the two other ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two bosses, and put them on the shoulders of the Ephod, upon the forefront of it.
19 Likewise they made two rings of gold, and put them in the two other corners of the breastplate upon the edge of it, which was on the inside of the Ephod.
20 They made also two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath on the foreside of it, and over against his coupling above the broidered girdle of the Ephod.
21 Then they fastened the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blue silk that it might be fast upon the broidered girdle of the Ephod, and that the breastplate should not be loosed from the Ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 ¶ Moreover, he made the robe of the [ej]Ephod of woven work, altogether of blue silk.
23 And [ek]the hole of the robe was in the midst of it, as the collar of an habergeon, with an edge about the collar, that it should not rent.
24 And they made upon the skirt of the robe pomegranates, of blue silk and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen twined.
25 They made also (BX)bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about between the pomegranates.
26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate round about the skirts of the robe to minister in, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 ¶ After, they made coats of fine linen, of woven work for Aaron and for his sons.
28 And the mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen (BY)breeches of fine twined linen.
29 ¶ And the girdle of fine twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, even of needle work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 ¶ Finally, they made the plate for the holy crown of fine gold, and wrote upon it a superscription like to the graving of a signet, (BZ)HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue silk to fasten it on high upon the mitre, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 ¶ Thus was all the work of the Tabernacle, even of the (CA)Tabernacle of the Congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses: so did they.
33 ¶ Afterward they brought the Tabernacle unto Moses, the Tabernacle and all his instruments, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
34 And the covering of rams’ skins, dyed red, and the coverings of badgers’ skins, and the [el]covering veil.
35 The Ark of the testimony, and the bars thereof, and the Mercy seat.
36 The Table, with all the instruments thereof, and the showbread.
37 The pure Candlestick, the lamps thereof, even the Lamps [em]set in order, and all the instruments thereof, and the oil for light:
38 Also the golden Altar and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging of the Tabernacle door,
39 The brazen Altar with his grate of brass, his bars and all his instruments, the Laver and his foot.
40 The curtains of the court with his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging to the court gate, and his cords, and his pins, and all the instruments of the service of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
41 Finally, the ministering garments to serve in the Sanctuary, and the holy garments for Aaron the Priest, and his sons’ garments to minister in the Priest’s office.
42 According to every point that the Lord had [en]commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43 And Moses beheld all the work, and behold they had done it as the Lord had commanded: so had they done: and Moses [eo]blessed them.
40 The Tabernacle with the appertinences is reared up. 34 The glory of the Lord appeareth in the cloud covering the Tabernacle.
1 Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 In the [ep]first day of the first month in the very first of the same month shalt thou set up the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation:
3 And thou shalt put therein the Ark of the Testimony, and cover the Ark with the veil.
4 Also thou shalt bring in the [eq]Table, and set it in order as it doth require: thou shalt also bring in the Candlestick, and light his lamps.
5 And thou shalt set the incense Altar [er]of gold before the Ark of the Testimony; and put the [es]hanging at the door of the Tabernacle.
6 Moreover, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the door of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
7 And thou shalt set the Laver between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.
8 Then thou shalt appoint the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9 After, thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and hallow it with all the instruments thereof, that it may be holy.
10 And thou shalt anoint the Altar of the burnt offering, and all his instruments, and shalt sanctify the Altar, that it may be an altar most holy.
11 Also thou shalt anoint the Laver, and his foot, and shalt sanctify it.
12 Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.
13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the Priest’s office.
14 Thou shalt also bring his sons and clothe them with garments.
15 And shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the Priest’s office: for their anointing shall be a sign, that the Priesthood [et]shall be everlasting unto them throughout their generations.
16 So Moses did according to all that the Lord had commanded him; so did he.
17 ¶ (CB)Thus was the Tabernacle reared up the first day of the first month in [eu]the second year.
18 Then Moses reared up the Tabernacle and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars of it, and reared up his pillars.
19 And he spread the covering over the Tabernacle, and put the covering of that covering on high above it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
20 ¶ And he took and put the [ev]Testimony in the Ark, and put the bars in the rings of the Ark, and set the Mercy seat on high upon the Ark.
21 He brought also the Ark into the Tabernacle, and hanged up the (CC)covering veil, and covered the Ark of the Testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 ¶ Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the North side of the Tabernacle, without the veil,
23 And set the bread in order before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 ¶ Also he put the Candlestick in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, over against the Table toward the South side of the Tabernacle.
25 And he [ew]lighted the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 ¶ Moreover, he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the veil,
27 And burnt sweet incense thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 ¶ Also he hanged up the veil at the [ex]door of the Tabernacle.
29 After, he set the burnt offering Altar without the door of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 ¶ Likewise he set the Laver between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and poured water therein to wash with.
31 So Moses and Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat.
32 When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approached to the Altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33 Finally, he reared up the court round about the Tabernacle and the Altar, and hanged up the veil at the court gate: so Moses finished the work.
34 ¶ (CD)Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
35 So Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
36 Now when the cloud ascended up from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their journeys.
37 But if the cloud ascended not, then they journeyed not till the day that it ascended.
38 For [ey]the cloud of the Lord was upon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
