29 You shall also do this thing to them when you consecrate them to be My Priests: Take a young calf and two rams, without blemish,

² “and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes (tempered with oil), and unleavened wafers (made from fine wheat flour and anointed with oil).

³ “Then you shall put them in one basket, and present them in the basket with the calf and the two rams,

⁴ “and shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them with water.

⁵ “Also, you shall take the garments and put the tunic upon Aaron, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate; and you shall fasten them to him with the ingenious band of the ephod.

⁶ “Then you shall put the turban upon his head and shall put the holy crown upon the turban.

⁷ “And you shall take the anointing oil and shall pour it upon his head and anoint him.

⁸ “And you shall bring his sons and put coats upon them,

⁹ “and shall bind them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and shall put the hats on them. And the Priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual Law. So you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

¹⁰ “Afterward, you shall present the calf before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the calf.

¹¹ “So shall you kill the calf before the LORD, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

¹² “Then you shall take from the blood of the calf and put it upon the horns of the Altar with your finger and shall pour all of the blood out at the foot of the Altar.

¹³ “Also, you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shall burn them upon 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 a sin offering.

¹⁵ “You shall also take one ram. And Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

¹⁶ “Then you shall kill the ram and take its blood, and sprinkle it all around, upon the Altar,

¹⁷ “And you shall cut the ram in pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and shall put them upon its pieces, and upon its head.

¹⁸ “So you shall burn the whole ram upon the Altar. It is a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to the LORD. It is an offering made to the LORD by fire.

¹⁹ “And you shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

²⁰ “Then you shall kill the ram and take from its blood and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s ear, and upon the tip 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 you shall sprinkle the blood upon the Altar, all around.

²¹ “And you shall take from the blood that is upon the Altar, and from the anointing oil, and shall sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him. So shall he be sanctified, and his clothes, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

²² “Also, you shall take the fat and the rump from the rams, even the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder (for it is the 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 you shall put all this in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons, and shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.

²⁵ “You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them upon the Altar as a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the LORD. This is an offering made by fire to the LORD.

²⁶ “Likewise, you shall take the breast of the ram of the consecration which is for Aaron, and shall wave it as a wave offering before the LORD. And it shall be your portion.

²⁷ “And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering which was waved, and which was raised up from 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 a heave offering; and it shall be a heave offering of the children of Israel (from their peace offerings), their heave offering to the LORD.

²⁹ “And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated therein.

³⁰ “That son who shall become Priest in his place, shall put them on for seven days, whenever he comes into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the Holy Place.

³¹ “And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil his flesh in the Holy Place.

³² “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 “They shall eat these things by which their atonement was made, to consecrate them, and to sanctify them. But a stranger shall not eat of them, because they are holy things.

³⁴ “Now if nothing of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then you shall burn the rest with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is a holy thing.

³⁵ “You shall do to Aaron and to his sons according to all things which I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them for seven days.

³⁶ “And every day you shall offer a calf for a sin offering, for reconciliation. And you shall cleanse the Altar after you have offered upon it for reconciliation, and shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

³⁷ “Seven days shall you cleanse the Altar and sanctify it, so that the Altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the Altar, must be holy.

³⁸ “Now this is that which you shall present upon the altar: two lambs of one year old, day by day, continually.

³⁹ “You shall present one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you shall present at twilight.

⁴⁰ “And with one lamb, mingle one tenth of an ephah of fine flour with one fourth of a hin of beaten oil and one fourth of a hin of wine, for a drink offering.

⁴¹ “And the other lamb you shall present at twilight. You shall do so according to the offering of the morning and according to the drink offering, to be a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to 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 meet with you, to speak to you.

⁴³ “There I will meet with the children of Israel, and the place shall be sanctified by 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 will be their God.

⁴⁶ “Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, Who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.

30 Furthermore, you shall make an Altar for sweet incense. You shall make it of shittim wood,

² “a cubit in length, and a cubit in width (it shall be square) and two cubits in height. Its horns shall be from the same piece.

³ “And you shall overlay it with fine gold, on the top and on the sides, all around, and its horns. Also, you shall make a border of gold all around.

⁴ “Besides this, you shall make two golden rings under this border, on either side. You shall make them on every side, so that they may be as places for the poles to bear it.

⁵ “You shall make the poles of shittim wood and shall cover them with gold.

⁶ “Afterward, you shall set it before the veil that is near the Ark of the Testimony, before the Mercy Seat that is upon the Testimony, where I will meet with you.

⁷ “And Aaron shall burn sweet incense on it every morning. When he tends his lamps, he shall burn it.

⁸ “Likewise at twilight, when Aaron sets up his lamps, he shall burn incense. This perfume shall be perpetually before the LORD, throughout your generations.

⁹ “You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offering, nor pour any drink offering on it.

¹⁰ “And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering, on the Day of Reconciliation. Once a year, he shall make reconciliation upon it, throughout your generations. This is Most Holy to the LORD.”

¹¹ Then, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹² “When you take the census of the children of Israel, after their number, then every man shall give a ransom for his life to the LORD when numbered, so that there is no plague among them when you count them.

¹³ “Every man who goes into the number shall give this: half a shekel, after the shekel of the Sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs). The half- shekel shall be an offering to the LORD.

¹⁴ “All who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD.

¹⁵ “The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than half a shekel, when you shall give an offering to the LORD for the redemption of your lives.

¹⁶ “So you shall take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel and shall put it to the use of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, so that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, for the redemption of your lives.”

¹⁷ Also, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ “You shall also make a Basin of copper (and its pedestal of copper), to wash, and shall put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar. And you shall put water in it.

¹⁹ “For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.

²⁰ “When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they go to the Altar to minister, to make the perfume from the burnt offering to the LORD, they shall wash themselves with water, lest they die.

²¹ “They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they do not die. And this shall be to them an ordinance, forever, to him and to his seed, throughout their generations.”

²² Also, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²³ “Take the best spices for yourself: five hundred shekels of the most pure myrrh, half that much of sweet cinnamon (two hundred-fifty), two hundred-fifty of sweet calamus,

²⁴ “five hundred of cassia (according to the shekel of the Sanctuary), and a hin of olive oil.

²⁵ “And you shall make the oil of holy ointment from it, a most precious ointment after the art of the perfumer. This shall be the oil of holy ointment.

²⁶ “And you shall anoint the Tabernacle of the Congregation with it, and the Ark of the Testimony,

²⁷ “the Table and all its instruments, the Lampstand with all its instruments, the altar of incense,

²⁸ “the altar of burnt offering with all its instruments, and the basin and its pedestal.

²⁹ “So you shall sanctify them; and they shall be Most Holy. All that shall touch them, must be holy.

³⁰ “You shall also anoint Aaron and his sons, and shall consecrate them, so that they may minister to Me in the Priest’s office.

³¹ “Moreover, you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me, throughout your generations.

³² “No one shall anoint man’s flesh with it, nor shall you make any composition like it. It is Holy and shall be holy to you.

³³ “Whoever shall make such an ointment, or whoever shall put any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”

³⁴ And the LORD said to Moses, “Take sweet spices for yourself—pure myrrh and stacte and galbanum and odors with pure frankincense—each of equal weight.

³⁵ “Then you shall make incense from them, composed after the art of the perfumer, mingled together, pure, holy.

³⁶ “And you shall beat it to powder, and shall put it before the Testimony, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, where I will meet with you. It shall be Most Holy to you.

³⁷ “And you shall not make any composition for yourself like this incense which you shall make. It shall be holy to you, for the LORD.

³⁸ “Whoever shall make any incense like it, he shall be cut off from his people.”

31 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

² “Behold, I have called Bezalel by name, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

³ “I have filled him with the Spirit of God—in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all workmanship—

⁴ “to design artistic works (to work in gold and in silver and in copper)

⁵ “with the cutting of stones, the carving of wood, and in all manner of workmanship.

⁶ “And behold, I have given him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom into the hearts of all who are wise-hearted, to make all that I have commanded you:

⁷ “the Tabernacle of the Congregation, the Ark of the Testimony and the Mercy Seat that shall be upon it, with all instruments of the Tabernacle,

⁸ “the Table and its instruments, the pure Lampstand with all its instruments, the Altar of Incense,

⁹ “the Altar of Burnt Offering with all its instruments, the Basin with its pedestal,

¹⁰ “the garments of the ministration, the holy garment for Aaron the Priest and the garments of his sons (to minister in the Priest’s office),

¹¹ “and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the Sanctuary. They shall do according to all that I have commanded you.”

¹² Afterward the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹³ “Also, speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘Nevertheless, keep My Sabbaths. For it is a sign between Me and you, in your generations, so that you may know that I, the LORD, sanctify you.

¹⁴ ‘Therefore, you shall keep the Sabbath. For it is holy to you. He who defiles it shall die the death. Therefore, whoever works thereon, that same person shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁵ ‘Six days you shall work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of holy rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, shall die the death.

¹⁶ ‘Therefore, the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, so that they may observe this rest throughout their generations, for an everlasting Covenant.

¹⁷ ‘It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel, forever. For in six days the LORD made the sky and the Earth. And on the seventh day, He ceased and rested.’”

¹⁸ Thus (when the LORD had ended communing with Moses upon Mount Sinai) He gave him two Tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

32 But when the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together against Aaron, and said to him, “Up! Make us gods to go before us! For we do not know what has become of this Moses (the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt).

² And Aaron said to them, “Tear off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”

³ Then, all the people removed their golden earrings which were in their ears; and they brought them to Aaron.

⁴ He received them from their hands and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molten calf from it. Then they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, which brought you 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 early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. Also, the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

⁷ Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down. For your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted their ways.

⁸ “They are soon turned out of the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten calf and have worshipped it, and have made offerings to it, saying, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

⁹ Again the LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people. And behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

¹⁰ “Now, therefore, leave Me alone, so that My wrath may grow hot against them; for I will consume them. But, I will make of you a mighty people.”

¹¹ But Moses prayed to the LORD his God, and said, “O LORD, why does Your wrath grow hot against Your people, which You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

¹² “Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He has brought them out maliciously, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the Earth?’ Turn from Your fierce wrath; and change Your mind from this evil toward Your people.

¹³ “Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the sky. And I will give all this land, which I have spoken of, to your seed. And they shall inherit it forever.’”

¹⁴ Then the LORD changed His mind from the evil which He threatened to do to His people.

¹⁵ So, Moses returned and went down from the mountain with the two Tablets of the Testimony in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.

¹⁶ And these Tablets were the work of God. And this writing was the writing of God, engraved on the Tablets.

¹⁷ And when Joshua heard the noise of the people, as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.”

¹⁸ Who answered, “It is not the noise of those who have the victory, nor the noise of those who are overcome. I hear the noise of singing.”

¹⁹ Now, as soon as he came near the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. So, Moses’ wrath grew hot; and he cast the Tablets out of his hands, and broke them in pieces, beneath the mountain.

²⁰ Afterward, he took the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.

²¹ Also, Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought so great a sin upon them?”

²² Then Aaron answered, “Do not let the wrath of my Lord grow fierce. You know this people, that they are set on mischief.

²³ “And they said to me, ‘Make us gods to go before us. For we do not know what has become of this Moses (the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt).’

²⁴ “Then I said to them, ‘You who have gold, tear it off.’ And they brought it to me; and I cast it into the fire, and out came this calf.”

²⁵ Therefore, Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had made them unrestrained, to their shame among their enemies).

²⁶ And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is with the LORD, come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to him.

²⁷ Then he said to them, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword by his side and go back and forth, from gate to gate, throughout the camp. And let every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.”

²⁸ So, the children of Levi did as Moses had commanded. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.

²⁹ For Moses had said, “Every man consecrate yourself to the LORD this day— even against your son, and against your brother — so that a blessing may be given to you this day.”

³⁰ And when the morning came, Moses said to the people, “You have committed a grievous crime. But now I will go up to the LORD, to see if I may pacify Him for your sin.”

³¹ Therefore, Moses went back to the LORD, and said, “Oh, this people has sinned a great sin, and has made gods of gold for themselves.

³² “Now, therefore, if You will, pardon their sin. But if You will not, please blot me out of Your Book which You have written.”

³³ Then the LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will put him out of My Book.

³⁴ “Therefore, go now. Bring the people to the place which I commanded you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, on the day of My visitation, I will visit their sin upon them.”

³⁵ So, the LORD plagued the people, because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made.

33 Afterward, the LORD said to Moses, “Depart. Go up from here — you and the people which you have brought up out of the land of Egypt — to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘Unto your seed will I give it.’

² “And I will send an angel before you; and I will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

³ “Go up, to a land that flows with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, lest I consume you on the way (because you are a stiff-necked people).”

⁴ And when the people heard this bad news, they were sad. And no man put on his ornaments.

⁵ (For the LORD had said to Moses, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. I will come suddenly upon you and consume you. Therefore, take off your ornaments now, so that I may know what to do to you.’”)

⁶ So, the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb.

⁷ Then Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and called it “Ohel-Moed”, or the “Tabernacle of the Congregation”. And when anyone sought the LORD, he went out to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was outside the camp.

⁸ And when Moses went out to the Tabernacle, all the people rose up. And every man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the Tabernacle.

⁹ And as soon as Moses had 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 spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Afterward, he turned back toward the camp. But his servant, a young man named Joshua, the son of Nun, did not depart from the Tabernacle.

¹² Then, Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Lead this people forth.’ And You have not shown me whom You will send with me. You have also said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’

¹³ “Now, therefore, I pray, if I have found favor in Your sight, show me Your way, so that I may know You, so that I may find grace in Your sight. Also, consider that this nation is Your people.”

¹⁴ And He answered, “My presence shall go with you; and I will give you rest.”

¹⁵ Then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not carry us from here.

¹⁶ “And how, then, shall it be known that I and Your people have found favor in Your sight? Shall it not be when You go with us? So that I and Your people shall be set apart from all the people on Earth?”

¹⁷ And the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this which You have said. For you have found grace in My sight; and I know you by name.”

¹⁸ Again he said, “I beg You, show me Your Glory.”

¹⁹ And He answered, “I will make all My goodness go before you. And I will proclaim the Name of the LORD before you. For I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy and will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

²⁰ Furthermore, He said, “You cannot see My face. For no man shall see Me there and live.”

²¹ Also, the LORD said, “Behold, a place by Me. And you shall stand upon the rock.

²² “And while My Glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.

²³ “Afterward, I will take away My hand and you shall see the back of Me. But My face shall not be seen.”

34 And the LORD said to Moses, “Carve for yourself two Tablets of stone, like the first. And I will write upon the Tablets the words that were on the first Tablets which you broke in pieces.

² “And be ready in the morning, so that you may come up to Mount Sinai early; and wait there for Me on the top of the mount.

³ “But let no man come up with you. And do not let any man be seen throughout all the mount. And do not let the sheep or cattle feed before this mount.

⁴ Then Moses carved two Tablets of stone like the first. And he rose up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took the two Tablets of stone in his hand.

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 cried, “The LORD! The LORD! Strong! Merciful! Gracious! Slow to anger! Abundant in goodness and Truth!

⁷ Reserving mercy for thousands! Forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin! Not making the wicked innocent! Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon children’s children, to the third and fourth generation!”

⁸ Then Moses quickly bowed himself to the earth, and worshipped,

⁹ and said, “O Lord, I pray—if I have found grace in Your sight—that the LORD would now go with us (for we are a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us for Your inheritance.”

¹⁰ And He answered, “Behold, I will make a covenant before all your people, and will do marvels such as have not been done in all the world, nor in all nations. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the LORD. For it is a fearful thing that I will do with you.

¹¹ “Diligently keep that which I command you this day. Behold, I will cast out the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites before you.

¹² “Guard yourself against making any compact with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest they become a snare among you.

¹³ “But you shall overthrow their altars and break their images in pieces and cut down their Asherim.

¹⁴ “For you shall bow down to no other god (because the LORD, Whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God),

¹⁵ “Otherwise, you may make a compact with the inhabitants of the land. And when they go a-whoring after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, they may call you and you may eat from their sacrifice.

¹⁶ “Or, when you take their daughters for your sons, their daughters may go a- whoring after their gods and may make your sons go a-whoring after their gods.

¹⁷ “You shall make no gods of metal for yourself.

¹⁸ “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread for seven days (as I commanded you) during the month of Abib. For you came out of Egypt in the month of Abib.

¹⁹ “Every male that first opens the womb shall be Mine. Also, all the firstborn of your livestock shall be Mine, both cattle and sheep.

²⁰ “But the first of the donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you do not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. And no one shall appear before Me empty.

²¹ “You shall work six days. And on the seventh day, you shall rest. You shall rest, both in earing time and in the harvest.

²² “Also, you shall observe the Feast of Weeks during the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year.

²³ “Three times in a year, all your male children shall appear before the LORD, Jehovah, God of Israel.

²⁴ “For I will dispossess the nations before you and enlarge your borders, so that no man shall covet your land when you shall come up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year.

²⁵ “You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall any of the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover be left until the morning.

²⁶ “You shall bring the first ripe fruits of your land to the House of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”

²⁷ And the LORD said to Moses, “Write these Words. For according to the tenor of these Words I have made a Covenant with you and with Israel.”

²⁸ So, he was there with the LORD for forty days and forty nights, neither eating bread nor drinking water. And he wrote the Words of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, on the Tablets.

²⁹ And it happened that when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two Tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand as he descended from the mount), he did not know that the skin of his face shone brightly after God had talked with him.

³⁰ And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked at Moses. And behold, the skin of his face shone brightly. And they were afraid to come near him.

³¹ But Moses called to them. And Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to 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 to him on Mount Sinai.

³³ So, Moses made an end of communing with them and put a covering upon his face.

³⁴ But, when Moses came before the LORD to speak with Him, he took off the covering until he came out. Then, he came out and spoke to the children of Israel all that which he was commanded.

³⁵ And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, how the skin of Moses’ face shone brightly. Therefore, Moses put the covering upon his face until he went to speak with God.

35 Then Moses assembled all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, “These are the words which the LORD has commanded, that you should do them:

² “Six days shall you work, but the seventh day shall be to you the Holy Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does work thereon, shall die.

³ “Upon the Sabbath day, you shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations.”

⁴ Again, Moses spoke to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD commands, saying,

⁵ ‘Take an offering to the LORD, from among you. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring this offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and copper,

⁶ “blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, fine linen and goats’ hair,

⁷ “rams’ skins (dyed red) and badgers’ skins (with shittim wood),

⁸ “oil for light, spices (for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense),

⁹ “onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.

¹⁰ “And all the wise-hearted among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded:

¹¹ “the Tabernacle and its pavilion, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its poles, its pillars, and its sockets,

¹² “the Ark and its poles, the Mercy Seat and the veil that covers it,

¹³ “the Table and its poles and all its instruments, the Showbread,

¹⁴ “the Lampstand for light, its instruments and its lamps with the oil for the light,

¹⁵ “the Altar of Incense and its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the veil of the door at the entrance of the Tabernacle,

¹⁶ “the Altar of Burnt Offering with its copper grate, its poles, all its instruments, the basin and its pedestal,

¹⁷ “the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the veil of the gate of the court,

¹⁸ “the pegs of the Tabernacle, the pegs of the court (with their cords),

¹⁹ “the ministering garments to minister in the Holy Place, the holy garments of Aaron the Priest and the garments of his sons, so 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 everyone whose heart encouraged him, and everyone 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 its uses and for the holy garments.

²² Both men and women, as many as were of a willing heart, came and brought clasps and earrings and rings and bracelets (all jewels of gold). So was everyone who offered an offering of gold to the LORD.

²³ Also, every man who 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 who offered an oblation of silver, and of copper, brought the offering to the LORD. And everyone who had shittim wood for any kind of ministry work, brought it.

²⁵ And all the skilled women spun with their hands and brought the spun work: the blue silk, the purple, the scarlet, and fine linen.

²⁶ Likewise, all the women whose hearts were moved with skill, spun goats’ hair.

²⁷ And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate,

²⁸ and spice and oil (for light and for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense).

²⁹ Every man and woman of the children of Israel whose hearts had moved them to willingly contribute to all the work which the LORD had commanded them to make (by the hand of Moses), brought a free offering to the LORD.

³⁰ Then Moses said to the children of Israel, “Behold, the LORD has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

³¹ “And He has filled him with an excellent spirit of wisdom—of understanding, and of knowledge, in all manner of workmanship—

³² “to create ingenious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

³³ “in cutting and setting stones, in woodcarving, and the making of any type of fine work.

³⁴ “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach others—both he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

³⁵ “He has filled them with skill to create all types of engraving and embroidery and needle work, in blue silk, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen and weaving, to do all kinds of work and design.”

36 Then Bezalel and Aholiab and all skillful men to whom the LORD gave wisdom and understanding to know how to perform all manner work for the service of the Sanctuary, worked according to all that the LORD had commanded.

² For Moses had called Bezalel and Aholiab and all the skilled men in whose hearts the LORD had put wisdom, as many as whose hearts had encouraged them to come to the work, to perform it.

³ And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the Sanctuary, to make it. Also, they continued to bring free gifts to him every morning.

⁴ So each of the skillful men who had made all the holy work came from the work which he was doing,

⁵ and spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring too much, more than enough for the work which the LORD has commanded to be made.”

⁶ Then Moses gave a commandment; and they had it proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the oblations of the Sanctuary.” So, the people were restrained from offering.

⁷ For the material they had was sufficient to make all the work, even too much.

⁸ Then, all the skillful men among the workmen made the Tabernacle ten curtains of fine-twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet. And upon them they made Cherubims of skillful work.

⁹ The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits; and the breadth of one curtain was four cubits. The curtains were all the same size.

¹⁰ And he bundled five curtains together; and he bundled another five together.

¹¹ And he made loops of blue silk near the edge of the outermost curtain of the first bundle. He did likewise on the outermost curtain in the second bundle.

¹² He made fifty loops in one curtain; and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was in the second bundle. The loops were set opposite each other.

¹³ Afterward, he made fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, so that it was one Tabernacle.

¹⁴ Also, he made curtains of goats’ hair for the covering upon the Tabernacle. He made them from eleven curtains.

¹⁵ The length of one curtain was thirty cubits; and the breadth of one curtain was four cubits. The eleven curtains were all the same size.

¹⁶ And he bundled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

¹⁷ He also made fifty loops upon the edge of the outermost curtain in the first bundle; and he made fifty loops upon the edge of the outermost curtain in the second bundle.

¹⁸ He also made fifty clasps of copper to join the covering together so that it might be one.

¹⁹ And he made a covering of rams’ skins (dyed red) upon the pavilion, and a covering of badgers’ skins above it.

²⁰ Likewise, he made the boards of shittim wood for the Tabernacle, standing upright.

²¹ The length of a board was ten cubits; and the breadth of a board was a cubit and a half.

²² One board had two tenons, set in order (as the feet of a ladder, one opposite another). He made all the boards of the Tabernacle in this way.

²³ So, he made boards for the Tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side.

²⁴ And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its 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 the west side of the Tabernacle, he made six boards.

²⁸ And he made two boards for the corners of the Tabernacle, one for each side.

²⁹ And they were joined beneath, and likewise were secured above, with a ring. He did this to both, in both corners.

³⁰ So there were eight boards and their sixteen sockets of silver, two sockets under every board.

³¹ Afterward, he made poles of shittim wood, five for the boards on the one side of the Tabernacle,

³² five poles for the boards on the other side of the Tabernacle, and five poles for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the west.

³³ And he made the middle pole to shoot through the boards, from one end to the other.

³⁴ Also, he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold (for places for the poles) and covered the poles with gold.

³⁵ Moreover, he made a veil of blue silk and purple, and of scarlet, and of fine-twined linen. He made it with Cherubims of skillful work:

³⁶ And made four pillars of shittim for it and overlaid them with gold. Its hooks were also of gold. And he cast four sockets of silver for them.

³⁷ And he made a hanging for the Tabernacle door — of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, the work of a weaver —

³⁸ and the five pillars of it with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their bands with gold. But their five sockets were of copper.

37 After this, Bezalel made the Ark of shittim wood, two cubits and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.

² And he overlaid it with fine gold, inside and outside, and made a border of gold for it, all around.

³ And he cast four rings of gold for it (for the four corners of it), two rings for one side of it and two rings for the other side of it.

⁴ Also, he made poles of shittim wood and covered them with gold.

⁵ And he put the poles in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.

⁶ And he made the Mercy Seat of pure gold. The length of it was two and a half cubits, and the breadth of it one cubit and a half.

⁷ And he made two Cherubims of gold upon the two ends of the Mercy Seat. He made them of work beaten with the hammer,

⁸ one Cherub on one end and another Cherub on the other end. He made the Cherubims as part of the Mercy Seat, at its two ends.

⁹ And the Cherubims spread out their wings on high and covered the Mercy Seat with their wings. And their faces were towards each another. The faces of the Cherubims were toward the Mercy Seat.

¹⁰ Also, he made the Table of shittim wood. The length of it was two cubits and its breadth a cubit. And the height of it was a cubit and a half.

¹¹ And he overlaid it with fine gold and made a border of gold for it, all around.

¹² Also, he made a rim for it, the size of a hand-breadth, all around, and made a border of gold upon the rim, all around.

¹³ And he cast four rings of gold for it and put the rings in the four corners, on its four feet.

¹⁴ Against the border were the rings, as places for the poles to bear the Table.

¹⁵ And he made the poles of shittim wood and covered them with gold, to bear the Table.

¹⁶ Also, he made the instruments for the Table (of pure gold): dishes for it, and cups for it, and bowls for it, and jars for it (with which to pour drink offerings).

¹⁷ Likewise, he made the Lampstand of pure gold. He made the Lampstand of work beaten out with the hammer. Its shaft, its branch, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece.

¹⁸ And six branches came out of the sides of it, three branches of the Lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the Lampstand out of the other side of it.

¹⁹ On one branch there were three bowls (made like almonds), a knob, and a flower. And on another branch were three bowls (made like almonds), a knob and a flower. So it was on all the six branches that proceeded out of the Lampstand.

²⁰ And upon the Lampstand were four bowls (after the fashion of almonds), its knobs and its flowers.

²¹ That is, under the first two branches there was a knob, and a knob under the second two branches, and a knob under the third two branches, according to the six branches coming out of it.

²² Their knobs and their branches were part of the same piece. It was all one beaten work of pure gold.

²³ And he made seven lamps for it, with its snuffers and its trays of pure gold.

²⁴ He made it from a talent of pure gold, with all its instruments.

²⁵ Furthermore, he made the Incense 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. Its horns were part of the same piece.

²⁶ And he covered it with pure gold, both its top and its sides, all around, and its horns. And he made a border of gold for it, all around.

²⁷ And under its border he made two rings of gold for it (in the two corners of its two sides), to put poles in with which to bear it.

²⁸ Also, he made the poles of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

²⁹ And he made the holy anointing oil, and the sweet pure incense, according to the perfumer’s art.

38 Also, he made the Altar of the Burnt Offering of shittim wood. Its length was five cubits, its breadth five cubits (it was square); and it was three cubits high.

² And he made horns for it, on its four corners. Its horns were part of the same piece; and he overlaid it with copper.

³ Also, he made all the instruments of the altar: the pans, the shovels, the basins, the fleshhooks, and the firepans. He made all its instruments of copper.

⁴ Moreover, he made a copper grate for the Altar, under its rim, midway from its bottom.

⁵ And cast four rings of copper for the four corners of the grate, to put poles in.

⁶ And he made the poles of shittim wood and covered them with copper,

⁷ which he put into the rings, on the sides of the Altar, to bear it. And he made it hollow, with boards.

⁸ Also, he made the pots of copper (and their bases of copper) from the mirrors of the women who assembled and came together at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

⁹ Finally, he made the court on the south side. The hangings of the court were of fine-twined linen, a hundred cubits long.

¹⁰ There were twenty pillars, with their twenty copper sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.

¹¹ And on the north side, the hangings were a hundred cubits. There were twenty pillars, with their twenty copper sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.

¹² Also on the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars with their ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.

¹³ And toward the east side were hangings of fifty cubits.

¹⁴ The hangings of one side were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.

¹⁵ And on 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 were of fine-twined linen, all around.

¹⁷ But the sockets of the pillars were of copper. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver; and the covering of their capitals were of silver. And all the pillars of the court were wrapped with silver.

¹⁸ He also made the hanging for the court gate of needlework—blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, twenty cubits long and five cubits in height and breadth—like the hangings of the court.

¹⁹ And there were four pillars (with their four sockets) of copper. Their hooks were of silver; and the covering of the capitals, and their bands, were of silver.

²⁰ But all the pegs of the Tabernacle, and of the court, were of copper, all around.

²¹ These are the parts of the Tabernacle—of the Tabernacle of the Testimony —which was appointed by commandment of Moses for the office of the 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 skillful workman and an embroiderer, and a weaver in blue silk, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.

²⁴ All the gold which was used in all the work made for the Holy Place (which was the gold of the offering) was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.

²⁵ But the silver of those who were numbered in the Congregation was a hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary:

²⁶ a bekah for a man—that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary—for all those who were numbered (from twenty years old and above) among 603,550 men.

²⁷ Moreover, there were a hundred talents of silver (to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary and the sockets of the veil), a hundred sockets of a hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

²⁸ But he made the hooks for the pillars for 1,775 shekels and overlaid their capitals and made bands around them.

²⁹ Also the copper of the offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.

³⁰ Of which he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the copper Altar, and its copper grate, with all the instruments of the Altar,

³¹ and the sockets of the court all around, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the pegs of the Tabernacle, and all the pegs of the court, all around.

39 Moreover, from blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, they made garments of ministry, to minister in the Sanctuary. They also made 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 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 skilled work.

⁴ They made shoulder pieces for it, to join it together, for it was closed by its two edges.

⁵ And the skillfully-woven band of his ephod, that was upon him, was of the same stuff, and of similar work: of gold, of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

⁶ And they set two onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, and engraved (as signets are engraved) with the names of the sons of Israel.

⁷ And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod—stones for a memorial to the sons of Israel—as the LORD had commanded Moses.

⁸ Also, they made the breastplate of skillful work, like the work of the ephod: of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen.

⁹ They made the breastplate square by doubling it. It was a hand breadth long and a hand breadth broad when doubled.

¹⁰ And they filled it with four rows of stones. The order was: a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald on the first row.

¹¹ And on the second row was an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

¹² On the third row was a turquoise, an agate, and an amethyst.

¹³ On the fourth row was a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper, enclosed and mounted in settings of gold.

¹⁴ So were the stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel, according to their twelve names, engraved like signets, each one according to its name, according to the twelve tribes.

¹⁵ Afterward, they made chains upon the breastplate, at the ends. These were braided cords of pure gold.

¹⁶ They also made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two corners of the breastplate.

¹⁷ And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings, in the corners of the breastplate.

¹⁸ Also, they fastened the two other ends of the two braided cords in the two settings and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it.

¹⁹ Likewise, they made two rings of gold and put them in the other two corners of the breastplate (upon the inside edge of the ephod).

²⁰ They also made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod, underneath, on the front of it and near its coupling, above the skillfully-woven band of the ephod.

²¹ And they fastened the breastplate (by its rings) to the rings of the ephod, with a lace of blue silk, so that it might be secure upon the skillfully-woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate should not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²² Moreover, he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, entirely of blue silk.

²³ And the hole of the robe was in the middle of it, as the collar of a coat of mail, with an edge around the collar, so that it would not tear.

²⁴ And they made pomegranates upon the skirt of the robe, of blue silk and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen.

²⁵ They also made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates, upon the skirts of the robe, all around, between the pomegranates.

²⁶ A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁷ Afterward, they made coats of fine linen, of woven work, for Aaron and for his sons.

²⁸ And the turban of fine linen, and ornamental hats of fine linen, and linen trousers of fine-twined linen.

²⁹ And the band of fine-twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, made by a weaver, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

³⁰ Finally, they made the plate for the holy crown of fine gold and wrote an inscription upon it like the engraving of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

³¹ And they tied a lace of blue silk to it, to fasten it on high, upon the turban, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

³² Thus, all the work of the Tabernacle — of the Tabernacle of the Congregation — was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses. So they did.

³³ Afterward, they brought the Tabernacle to Moses, the Tabernacle and all its instruments: its taches, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,

³⁴ the covering of rams’ skins (dyed red), the coverings of badgers’ skins, the covering veil,

³⁵ the Ark of the Testimony and its poles, the Mercy Seat,

³⁶ the Table with all its instruments, the Showbread,

³⁷ the pure Lampstand and its Lamps (the Lamps set in order, all its instruments, and the oil for light),

³⁸ the golden Altar and the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the hanging of the Tabernacle door,

³⁹ the copper Altar with its grate of copper, its bars and all its instruments, the Basin and its Pedestal.

⁴⁰ The curtains of the court with its pillars, and its sockets, and the hanging to the court gate, its cords, its pegs, and all the instruments of the service of the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation).

⁴¹ the ministering garments to serve in the Sanctuary — 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 commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the work.

⁴³ And Moses inspected all the work. And behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded. So they had done. And Moses blessed them.

40 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

² “On the first day of the first month, you shall set up the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation).

³ “And you shall put the Ark of the Testimony inside and cover the Ark with the veil.

⁴ “Also, you shall bring in the Table and set it in order as required. You shall also bring in the Lampstand and light its Lamps.

⁵ “And you shall set the Incense Altar of gold before the Ark of the Testimony and put up the hanging at the door of the Tabernacle.

⁶ “Moreover, you shall set the burnt offering Altar before the door of the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation).

⁷ “And you shall set the Basin between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar and put water in it.

⁸ “Then you shall set up the court all around and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

⁹ “Afterward, you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and hallow it with all its instruments, so that it may be holy.

¹⁰ “And you shall anoint the Altar of the Burnt Offering, and all its instruments, and shall sanctify the Altar, so that it may be an Altar Most Holy.

¹¹ “Also, you shall anoint the Basin, and its Pedestal, and shall sanctify it.

¹² “Then, you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them with water.

¹³ “And you shall put the holy garments upon Aaron, and shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, so that he may minister to Me in the Priest’s office.

¹⁴ “You shall also bring his sons and clothe them with garments.

¹⁵ “And you shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, so that they may minister to me in the Priest’s office. For their anointing shall be a sign: that the Priesthood shall be everlasting to them, throughout their generations.”16 So Moses did according to all that the LORD had commanded him. So did he.

¹⁷ Thus was the Tabernacle raised up, on the first day of the first month, in the second year.

¹⁸ Then Moses raised up the Tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars.

¹⁹ And he spread the covering over the Tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁰ And he took and put the Testimony in the Ark, and put the poles in the rings of the Ark, and set the Mercy Seat on top of the Ark.

²¹ He also brought the Ark into the Tabernacle, and hung up the 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 on the north side of the Tabernacle, without the veil.

²³ And he set the bread in order before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁴ Also, he put the Lampstand in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, across from the Table, toward the south side of the Tabernacle.

²⁵ And he lit 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 he burnt sweet incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁸ Also, he hung up the veil at the door of the Tabernacle.

²⁹ Afterward, he set the burnt offering Altar outside the door of the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation) and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

³⁰ Likewise, he set the Basin between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and poured water in it, with which to wash.

³¹ So, Moses and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and their feet there.

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 raised up the court all around the Tabernacle and the Altar and hung up the veil at the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

³⁴ 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 rested on it, 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 did not ascend, then they did not go out until the day that it ascended.

³⁸ For the cloud of the LORD was upon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the House of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
