17And the LORD said unto Moses: 'I will do this thing also that thou hast §poken, for thou hast found grace in My sight, and I know thee by name.' 18And he said: 'Show me, I pray Thee, Thy glory.' 19And He said: fl will make all My goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.7 20And He said: 'Thou canst not see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.' 21 And the LORD said: 'Behold, there is a place by Me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock. ^And it shall come to pass, while My glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with My hand until I have passed by. ^And I will take away My hand, and thou shalt see My back; but My face shall not be seen.'
O A And the LORD said unto Moses: ^ •*• 'Hew thee two tables of stone, like unto the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou didst break. 2And be ready by the morning, and come up hi the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to Me on the top of the mount. 3And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen through- out all the mount- neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount/ 4And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded Mm, and took in his hand two tables of stone. 5And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6And the LORD passed by before him, and pro- claimed: 'The LORD, the LORD, God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth; 7keeping mercy unto the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and unto the fourth generation.' 8And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. 9And he said: 'If now I have found grace in Thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray Thee, go in the midst of us; for it is a stifjnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Thine inheritance.' 10And He said: 'Behold, I make a covenant; before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD that I am about to do with thee, that it is tremendous. u Observe thou that which I am commanding thee this day; behold, I am driving out before thee the Amqrite, and the Canaanite, and the EGttite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivrte, and the Jebusite. ^Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest they be for a snare in the midst of thee. 13But ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut dowr their Asherim. 14For thou shalt bo^v down to no other god; for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous EXODUS God; xaiest them make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and they call thee, and thou eat of their .sacrifice; "and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their slaughters go astray after their gods, and make thy sons go astray after their gods. 17Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 18The feast of un- leavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for hi the month Abib thou earnest out from Egypt. 19AH that openeth the womb is Mine; and of all thy cattle thou shalt sanctify the males, the firstlings of ox and sheep. ^And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck. All the l!rst-born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty. 21Six days thou shalt work, button the seventh day thou shalt rest; in plowing time and hi harvest thou shalt rest. ^And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, even of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the turn of the year. ^Three tunes in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel. ^For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders; neither shall any man covet thy land, when thou goest up to appear before the LORD thy God three times in the year, ^hou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning. ^The choicest first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto tfre house of the LORD thy God. Thou 1 shalfc not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.'
27 And the Lord said unto Moses: 'Write thou these words, for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.' ^And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words. 29And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face sent forth abeams while He talked with him. 30And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face sent forth beams; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 31And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him; and Moses spoke to them. ^And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai. ^And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. ^But when Moses went in before the Lord that He might speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke unto the children of Israel that which he was com- manded. ^And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face sent forth beams; and Moses put the veil back upon his face, until he went in to speak with Him.
And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them: 'These * Heb. horns.
EXODUS are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. 2Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn, rest to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death. 3Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath 4And Moses spoke unto all the con- gregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying: ^ake ye from among you an offering unto the LORD, whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, the LORD'S offering: gold, and silver, and brass; 6and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair; 7and ranis' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia-wood; *and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense; 9and onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate. 10And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded: ^-the taber- nacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; wthe ark, and the staves thereof, the ark-cover, and the veil of the screen; 13the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the showbread; 14the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light; "and the altar of incense, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet in- cense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; 16the altar of burnt-offering, with its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base; irthe hangings of the court, the pillars thereof, and their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords; a*the plaited garments, for ministering in the holy place, ^the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to min- ister in the priest's office.'
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 21And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and brought the LORD'S offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service there- of, and for the holy garments. ^And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought nose-rings, and ear-rings, and signet-rings, and girdles, all jewels of gold; even every man that brought an offering of gold unto the LORD. ^And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them. 24Every one that did set apart an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering; and every man, with whom was found acacia-wood for any work of the service, brought it. KAnd all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen. 26And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair. 27And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; 28and the spice, and the oil, for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 29The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto the LORD; every man and woman, whose EXODUS heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had com- manded by the hand of Moses to be made.
30And Moses said unto the children of Israel: 'See, the LORD hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. »And He hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in under- standing, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. ^And to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, Kand in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all man- ner of skilful workmanship. MAnd He hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. ^Them hath He filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workman- ship, of the craftsman, and of the skilful workman, and of the weaver in colours, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise O/^ skilful works. xAnd Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD hath commanded.'
2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it. lAnd they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, wherewith to make it. And_ they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning. 4And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought. 5And they spoke unto Moses, saying: 'The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORE commanded to make.' 6And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying: 'Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.' So the people were restrained from bringing. 7For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8And every wise-hearted man among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains: of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skilful workman made he them. ^The length of each curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had one measure. 10And he coupled five curtains one to another; and the other five curtains he coupled one to another. 13And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain that was outmost in the first set; likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second set. ^Fifty loops made he in the one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of i\e curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite one to another. 13And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps; so the tabernacle was one.
14And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he made them. 16The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of EXODUS each curtain; the eleven curtains had one measure. 16And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six cur- tains by themselves. 17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the first set, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain, which was outmost in the second set* 18And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. 19And he made a covering for the tent ^ of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above.
20And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up. 21Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board. ^Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. Thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. ^And he made the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward. 24And 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. KAnd for the sec- ond side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, ^and their forty sockets of silver: two sock- ets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 27And for the hinder part of the tabernacle west- ward he made six boards. 38And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle hi the hinder part; 29that they might be double beneath, and in like manner they should be complete unto the top thereof unto the first ring. Thus he did to both of them in the two corners. 30And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: under every board two sockets. 31And he made, bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards!
of the one side of the tabernacle, 32and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward. ^And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other. MAnd he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
^And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; with cherubim the work of the skilful workman made he it. ^And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold, their hooks being of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. 37And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the weaver in colours; 38and the five pillars of it with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass.
QiT And Bezalel made the ark of acacia-wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it. 2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about. 3And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet thereof: even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 4And he made staves ^ of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold. 5And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 6And he made an ark-cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 7And EXODUS he made two cherubim of gold of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the ark-covet: 8one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the ark-cover made he tho cherubim at the two ends thereof. 9And the cheru- bim spread out their wings on high, screening the ark-cover with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the ark-cover were the faces of the cherubim.
10And he made the table of acacia- wood: two cubits was the length there- of, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. "And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about. ^And he made unto it a border of a handbreadth ruund about, and made a golden crown to the border thereof round about. ^And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were on the four feet thereof. 14Close by the border were the rings, the holders for the staves to bear the table. 15And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table. 16And he made the vessels which were upon the table, the dishes thereof, and the pans thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the jars thereof, wherewith to pour out, of pure gold.
17And he made the candlestick of pure gold- of beaten work made he the candlestick, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knpps, and its flowers, were of one piece with it. 18And there were six branches going out of the sides thereof: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof; I9three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups mad like almond-blossoms in the othe branch, a knop and a flower. S< for the six branches going out of th< candlestick. 20And in the candlesticl were four cups made like almond blossoms, the knops thereof, and th< flowers thereof; 21and a knop unde: two branches of one piece with it and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under twc branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it. ^Theu knops and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was one beaten work of pure gold. 23And he made the lamps thereof, seven, and the tongg thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof of pure gold. 240f a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
^And he made the altar of incense of acacia-wood: a cubit was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth there- of, four-square; and two cubits was the height thereof; the horns thereof were of one piece with it. 26And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top there- of, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it; and he made unto it a crown of gold round about. 27And he made for it two golden rings under the crown thereof, upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it, for holders for staves wherewith to bear it. 28And he made the staves of acacia- wood, and overlaid them with gold. 29And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer. Q Q And he made the altar of burntu offering of acacia-wood: rive cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, four-square, and three cubits the height thereof. 'And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof EXODUS were of one piece with it; and he over- laid it with brass. 3And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh- hooks, and the fire-pans; all the vessels thereof made he of brass. 4And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge round it beneath, reaching halfway up. 5And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be holders for the staves. 6And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and over- laid them with brass. 7And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, wherewith to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.
8And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the serving women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.
9And he made the court; for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twiiied linen, a hundred cubits. 10Their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. uAnd for the north side a hundred cubits, their pil- lars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. ^And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sock- ets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 13And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. 14The hangings for the one side [of the gate] were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 15And so for the other side; on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16A11 the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen. 17And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 18And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the weaver in colours, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court. 19And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the over- laying of their capitals and their fillets of silver. 20And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
^These are the accounts of the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were rendered ac- cording to the commandment of Moses, through the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. — ^And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. ^And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman, and a skilful workman, and a weaver in colours, in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen — 24AH the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. ^And the silver of them that were numbered of the congrega- tion was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and three- score and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: *& beka a EXODUS
