← Exodus

20:1 And Elohim spoke all these words, saying,

20:2 I am Yehovah your Elohim, who has brought you out from the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage.

20:3 You shall not have any other Elohim before My face.

20:4 You shall not make a graven image for yourself, or any likeness in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth;

20:5 you shall not bow to them, and you shall not serve them; for I am Yehovah your Elohim, a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third and on the fourth generation, to those that hate Me;

20:6 and doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me, and to those keeping My commandments.

20:7 You shall not take the name of Yehovah your Elohim in vain; for Yehovah will not leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain.47

20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it set apart48;

20:9 six days you shall labor and do all your work;

20:10 and the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yehovah your Elohim; you shall not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your male slave and your slave-girl, and your livestock, and your stranger who is in your gates.

20:11 For in six days Yehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all which is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; on account of this Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.49

20:12 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long on the land which Yehovah your Elohim is giving to you.

20:13 You shall not murder.

20:14 You shall not commit adultery.

20:15 You shall not steal.

20:16 You shall not testify a witness of falsehood against your neighbor.

20:17 You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male slave, or his slave-girl, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything which belongs to your neighbor.50

20:18 And all the people saw the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the ram's horn, and the smoking mountain. And the people looked, and they trembled, and they stood from a distance.

20:19 And they said to Mosheh, You speak with us, and we will hear. And let us not speak with Elohim that we not die.

20:20 And Mosheh said to the people, Do not be afraid, for Elohim has come in order to test you, and so that His fear may be on your faces, that you may not sin.

20:21 And the people stood from a distance, and Mosheh went near the thick darkness where Elohim was.

20:22 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, You shall say this to the sons of Yisrael, You have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.

20:23 You shall not make Elohims of silver along with Me, and you shall not make Elohims of gold for yourselves.

20:24 You shall make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall sacrifice your burnt offerings and your shalom offerings on it, your sheep and your cattle. In every place in which I bring to memory My name, and I will come to you and I will bless you.

20:25 And if you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build them of cut stones. When you swing your tool on it, you defile it.

20:26 And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be uncovered on it. (Rev 1:13)

← Exodus

21:1 And these are the judgments which you shall put before them:

21:2 When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

21:3 If he comes in with his body, he shall go out with his body. If he was the husband of a wife, his wife shall go out with him.

21:4 If his master gives him a wife, and she bears sons or daughters to him, the wife and her children shall belong to her master; and he shall go out with his body.

21:5 And if the slave truly says, I love my master, my wife and my children; I do not desire to go out free,

21:6 his master shall bring him to Elohim, and one shall bring him to the door, or to the doorpost; and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.51 (Deut 15:12-18)

21:7 And when a man sells his daughter for a slave-girl, she shall not go out as the male slaves go out.

21:8 If she is bad in the eyes of her master who has appointed her for himself, he shall allow her redemption. He shall not have power to sell her to a foreign people, in his deceiving her.

21:9 And if he chooses her for his son, he shall do to her as is the custom of daughters.

21:10 If he takes another for himself, her flesh, her clothing, and her conjugal right shall not be diminished.

21:11 And if he does not do these three for her, she shall go out for nothing, without silver.

21:12 He that strikes a man so that he dies, surely he shall die.

21:13 But he who does not lie in wait, and Elohim lets fall into his hand, I will appoint a place for you where he may flee.

21:14 And when a man seethes insolently against his neighbor, to kill him by deceit, you shall take him from My altar to die.

21:17 And he who curses his father or his mother, dying he shall die.

21:18 And when men quarrel, and one strikes his neighbor with a stone, or with a fist, and he does not die, but falls on his bed,

21:19 if he rises and walks about in the street on his staff, the one who struck him shall be innocent; only he shall pay his sitting; paying he shall pay for his healing.

21:20 And if a man strikes his male slave or his slave-girl with a rod, and he dies under his hand, avenging he shall be avenged.

21:21 But if he continues a day or two, he shall not be avenged, for he is his silver.

21:22 And when men fight, and they strike a pregnant woman, and her child goes forth, and there is no injury, being fined he shall be fined. As much as the husband of the woman shall put on him, even he shall give through the judges.

21:23 But if injury occurs, you shall give life for life52,

21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

21:25 branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

21:26 And when a man strikes the eye of his male slave, or the eye of his slave-girl and destroys it, he shall send him away free for his eye.

21:27 And if he causes the tooth of his male slave, or the tooth of his slave-girl, to fall out, he shall send him away free for his tooth.

21:28 And when an ox gores a man so that he dies, the ox stoning shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, and the owner of the ox is innocent.

21:29 And if he was an ox apt to gore from yesterday and the third day, and its owner is given warning, and he does not watch him, and he kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be killed.

21:30 If a ransom is put on him, he shall give the redemption of his life, according to all which is put on him.

21:31 Whether he gores a son or he gores a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

21:32 If the ox gores a male slave or a slave-girl, he shall give thirty silver shekels to his master, and the ox shall be stoned53. (Math 26:14-15)

21:33 And when a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

21:34 the owner of the pit shall pay; he shall give silver to its owner, and the dead shall be his.

21:35 And when a man's ox strikes against the ox of his neighbor, and it dies, they shall sell the living ox, and they shall divide the silver; and they shall also divide the dead.

21:36 Or if it was known that he was an ox apt to gore from yesterday and the third day, and his owner does not watch him, he shall pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his.

22:9 In every matter of trespass, for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, for anything lost of which it is said that it is his, the case of both of them shall come to Elohim. Whom Elohim declares guilty, he shall repay double to his neighbor.

22:10 When a man gives a donkey or an ox to his neighbor; or a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, or is injured, or is captured, no one seeing it,

22:11 an oath of Yehovah shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods. And its owner shall take it, and he shall not repay.

22:23 If you afflict him, if he at all cries to Me, hearing I will hear his cry,

22:24 and My anger shall glow, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall become widows, and your sons orphans.55

22:25 If you lend money to My people, the poor with you, you shall not be as a money-lender to him; you shall not put interest on him.

22:26 If you indeed take the clothing of your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him by the going of the sun,

22:27 for that is his only covering, that is his covering for his skin. In what shall he lie down? And it shall be, when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

← Exodus

23:1 You shall not raise a false report; You shall not put your hand with the wicked, to become a violent witness.

23:7 You shall keep far away from a false matter. And do not kill the innocent and the righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

23:8 And you shall not take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the seeing one, and it perverts the words of the righteous.

23:9 And you shall not oppress an alien; and you know the life of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Mitsrayim.

23:10 And you shall sow your land six years, and you shall gather its produce.

23:11 And the seventh year you shall let it rest and let it lie fallow, and the needy of your people shall eat. And what they leave, the animals of the field shall eat. So you shall do to your vineyard, to your oliveyard.

23:12 You shall do your work six days, and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your slave-girl and your alien may be refreshed.

23:15 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I have commanded you, at the set time of the new moon of Aviv. For in it you came out from Mitsrayim, and they shall not appear before Me empty.

23:16 Also the Feast of Harvest, the first fruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. Also the Feast of Ingathering57, after the going out of the year, at your gathering your work from the field.

23:20 Look, I am about to send a messenger before you, to guard you in the way, and to bring you to the place which I have prepared. (Ex 32:34)

23:21 Be on guard before Him, and listen to His voice. Do not be rebellious against Him, for He will not forgive your transgressions; for My name is in Him59.

23:22 For if you fully listen to His voice, and do all which I speak, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and will be a foe to your foes.

23:23 For My Messenger shall go before you and bring you in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Yebusite; and I will destroy them.

23:24 You shall not bow down to their gods, and you shall not serve them. And you shall not do according to their works. But tearing you shall tear them down, and smashing you shall smash their standing pillars.

23:25 And you shall serve Yehovah your Elohim, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will remove sickness from your midst.

23:28 And I will send hornets before you which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite before you.

23:29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, that the land not become a waste, and the beast of the field multiply on you.

23:30 I will drive them out before you little by little, until you are fruitful and possess the land.

23:31 And I will set your border from the Sea of Reeds as far as the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness as far as the River. For I will give the people of the land into your hand. And you shall drive them out before you.

23:32 You shall not cut a covenant for them and for their gods.

23:33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin towards Me. If you serve their Elohims, it will be a snare to you.

← Exodus

24:1 And He said to Mosheh, Come up to Yehovah, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy from the elders of Yisrael. And bow yourselves from a distance.

24:2 And let Mosheh approach by himself to Yehovah, and they shall not approach. And the people shall not go up with him.

24:3 And Mosheh came and told all the words of Yehovah to the people, and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, We will do all the Words which Yehovah has spoken.

24:4 And Mosheh wrote all the Words of Yehovah60. And he rose early in the morning and built an altar below the mountain and twelve memorial pillars for the twelve tribes of Yisrael.

24:5 And he sent young men of the sons of Yisrael. And they offered up burnt offerings, and offered sacrifices of bulls, shalom offerings to Yehovah.

24:6 And Mosheh took half of the blood, and he put it in basins. And he sprinkled half of the blood on the altar.

24:7 And he took the scroll of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, We will do all that Yehovah has spoken, and we will hear.

24:8 And Mosheh took the blood and sprinkled on the people, and said, Look, the blood of the covenant which Yehovah has cut with you concerning these words. (Ex 34:27)

24:9 And Mosheh and Aaron went up with Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from the elders of Yisrael.

24:10 And they saw the Elohim of Yisrael. And under His feet was as the work of a pavement of sapphire, and as the heavens for clearness.

24:11 And He did not stretch out His hand to the nobles of the sons of Yisrael. And they saw Elohim, and they ate and drank.

24:12 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, Come up to Me to the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you the tablets of stone, and the Torah, and the commandments which I have written, to teach them.

24:13 And Mosheh rose up, and Yehoshua his attendant. And Mosheh went up to the mountain of Elohim.

24:14 And he said to the elders, Wait here for us until we return to you. And, look, Aaron, who is a master of matters, and Hur, are with you; let him approach to them.

24:15 And Mosheh went up into the mountain. And a cloud covered the mountain.

24:16 And the glory of Yehovah dwelt on the mountain of Sinai. And the cloud covered it six days. And He called to Mosheh on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.

24:17 And the appearance of the glory of Yehovah was like fire burning on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the sons of Yisrael.

24:18 And Mosheh came into the midst of the cloud, and he went up into the mountain. And Mosheh was in the mountain forty days and forty nights61.

← Exodus

25:4 and blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and goats hair;

25:5 and rams' skin dyed red, and dugong skins, and acacia wood;

25:6 oil for the light, spices for the oil of anointing, and for the incense of perfumes;

← Exodus

29:1 And this is the thing which you shall do to them, to sanctify them to minister as priests to Me: take one bull, the son of the herd, and two rams without blemish,

29:2 and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes poured over with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

29:3 And you shall put them into one basket and shall bring them near in the basket, and the bull and the two rams.

29:4 And you shall take Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of house of assembly. And you shall wash them in water.

29:9 And you shall gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons; and you shall bind on turbans for them; and it shall be a never ending statute for them in the priest's office. And you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

29:10 And you shall bring near the bull before the tabernacle of the house of assembly. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

29:11 And you shall slaughter the bull before the face of Yehovah, at the door of the tabernacle of the house of assembly.

29:12 And you shall take of the bull's blood and shall put it on the horns of the altar with your finger. And you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

29:13 And you shall take all the fat that covers the inward parts, and the lobe on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat on them, and you shall burn them on the altar.

29:14 And you shall burn the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

29:15 And you shall take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

29:16 And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and shall sprinkle it on the altar all around.

29:17 And you shall cut the ram into pieces; and you shall wash its inward parts, and its legs, and shall place them on its pieces and on its head.

29:18 And you shall burn all the ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to Yehovah, a soothing fragrance; it is a fire offering to Yehovah.

29:19 And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

29:20 And you shall slaughter the ram; and you shall take of its blood and shall put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot; and you shall sprinkle the blood on the altar all around.

29:21 And you shall take of the blood on the altar, and the oil of anointing, and you shall sprinkle on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him.

29:22 And you shall take the fat from the ram, and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inward parts, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat on them, and the right leg; for it is a ram of consecration;

29:23 also one loaf of bread, and one cake of oil bread, and one wafer, from the basket of unleavened bread which is before the face of Yehovah.

29:24 And you shall put all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons. And you shall wave them, a wave offering before the face of Yehovah.

29:25 And you shall take them from their hands, and you shall burn the burnt offering on the altar for a soothing fragrance before the face of Yehovah; it is a fire offering to Yehovah.

29:26 And you shall take the breast from the ram of consecration which is on Aaron. And you shall wave it a wave offering before the face of Yehovah; it shall be your portion.

29:27 And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved and which is lifted from the ram of consecration, from what is Aaron's, and from what is to his sons.

29:28 And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons for a never ending statute from the sons of Yisrael; it is for a heave offering, and it shall be a heave offering from the sons of Yisrael from the sacrifices of their shalom offerings, their heave offering to Yehovah.

29:29 And the set apart garments which are Aaron's shall be his sons' after him, for anointing in them and for filling their hands in them.

29:30 The priest shall put them on seven days, the one from his sons taking his place; the one who comes into the tabernacle of the house of assembly to minister in the sanctuary.

29:31 And you shall take the ram of consecration, and you shall boil its flesh in a sanctuary.

29:32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread which is in the basket at the door of the tabernacle of the house of assembly.

29:33 And they shall eat those things by which atonement is made to consecrate them, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat, for they are set apart.

29:34 And if any is left of the flesh of consecration, and of the bread, until the morning, you shall burn what is left with fire; it shall not be eaten, for it is set apart.

29:35 And so you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all which I have commanded you; you shall consecrate them seven days.

29:36 And you shall offer a bull of a sin offering daily for atonement; and you shall purify the altar in your making atonement for it; and you shall anoint it to sanctify it.

29:37 You shall make atonement seven days for the altar, and shall sanctify it; and the altar shall become most set apart, all touching the altar becomes set apart.

29:38 And this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs daily, sons of a year, continually.

29:39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer between the evenings.66

29:40 And a tenth of fine flour anointed with beaten oil, a fourth of a hin; and a drink offering, a fourth of a hin of wine, for the one lamb.

29:41 And you shall offer the second lamb between the evenings; you shall do to it like the morning food offering and its drink offering, for a soothing fragrance, a fire offering to Yehovah.

29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering to your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the house of assembly before the face of Yehovah; there where I meet you to speak to you there.

29:43 And I will meet the sons of Yisrael here and it shall be sanctified by My glory.

29:44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the house of assembly and the altar. And I will sanctify Aaron and his sons to minister as priests to Me.

29:45 And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Yisrael; and I will be Elohim to them.

29:46 And they shall know that I am Yehovah their Elohim, who brought them out from the land of Mitsrayim, that I may dwell in their midst. I am Yehovah their Elohim.

← Exodus

30:1 And you shall make an altar, a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.

30:2 It shall be a cubit in length and a cubit in width; it shall be square. And its height shall be two cubits, its horns are to be a part of itself.

30:3 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its walls all around, and its horns. And you shall make a wreath of gold for it all around.

30:4 And you shall make two rings of gold for it under its wreath; you shall make its two corners on its two sides; and they shall be housings for poles, to lift them up by it.

30:5 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood; and you shall overlay them with gold.

30:6 And you shall put it before the veil which is beside the ark of the testimony; in front of the mercyseat which is over the testimony, there where I meet you.

30:7 And Aaron shall burn incense of perfume on it morning by morning; when he dresses the menorot he shall burn it.

30:8 And when Aaron sets up the menorot between the evenings he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the face of Yehovah for your generations.

30:9 You shall not offer up strange incense on it, and burnt offering and food offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering, to go up on it.

30:10 And Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in a year; from the blood of the sin offering of the atonement once in the year he shall make atonement on it for your generations; it is most set apart to Yehovah.

30:11 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, saying,

30:12 When you lift up the head of the sons of Yisrael, of those numbered, each one shall give the ransom of his soul to Yehovah when numbering them; and there shall not be a plague among them when numbering them.

30:13 They shall give this, everyone passing over to those numbered: half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs being a shekel; half a shekel as an offering to Yehovah.

30:14 Every one passing over to those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upward, shall give the offering of Yehovah.

30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, to give the offering of Yehovah, to make atonement for your souls.

30:16 And you shall take the silver of atonement from the sons of Yisrael and you shall give it to the service of the tabernacle of the house of assembly; and it shall be for the sons of Yisrael for remembrance before the face of Yehovah, to make atonement for your souls.

30:17 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, saying,

30:18 And you shall make a bronze laver for washing, and its base bronze. And you shall put it between the tabernacle of the house of assembly and the altar; and you shall put water there.

30:19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash from it, their hands and their feet;

30:20 as they go into the tabernacle of the house of assembly they shall wash with water, and shall not die; or as they draw near to the altar to minister, to burn a fire offering to Yehovah.

30:21 And they shall wash their hands and their feet, and shall not die. And it shall be a never ending statute to them, to him and to his seed for their generations.

30:22 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, saying,

30:23 And you take spices for yourself, the best, five hundred of pure myrrh, and its half of spicy cinnamon, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty of aromatic calamus;

30:24 and five hundred of cassia, by the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

30:25 And you shall make it an oil of set apart anointing, ointment compound, the work of a perfumer, an oil of set apart anointing it shall be.

30:26 And you shall anoint with it the tabernacle of the house of assembly and the ark of the testimony,

30:27 and the table and all its vessels and the altar of incense,

30:28 and the altar of burnt offering, and all its vessels, and the laver and its base.

30:29 And you shall sanctify them, and they shall become most set apart; everything touching them shall become set apart.

30:30 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate them to minister as priests to Me.

30:31 And you shall speak to the sons of Yisrael, saying, This shall be a set apart anointing oil for Me for your generations.

30:32 It shall not be poured on the flesh of man, and you shall not make any like it in its proportion; it is set apart. It shall be set apart to you.

30:33 If a man prepares any like it, or who gives from it to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

30:34 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, Take perfumes for yourself, spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, spices, and pure frankincense, a part shall be for a part.

30:35 And you shall make it incense, an ointment, a work of a perfumer, salted, pure and set apart.

30:36 And you shall grind some of it fine, and put some of it in front of the testimony in the tabernacle of the house of assembly, where I meet you. It shall be most set apart to you.

30:37 And the incense which you make, in its proportion, you shall not make for yourselves; it shall be set apart to you for Yehovah.

30:38 If a man makes any like it, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people67.

← Exodus

31:1 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, saying:

31:2 Look, I have called by name Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, to the tribe of Yehudah.

31:3 And I have filled him with the ruach of Elohim in wisdom, and in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all workmanship,

31:4 to devise designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze,

31:5 and in cutting of stones for finishings, and in carving of wood, to work in all workmanship.

31:6 And look! I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every wise-hearted one I have given wisdom; and they shall make all which I have commanded you:

31:7 the tabernacle of the house of assembly, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercyseat which is going up over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,

31:8 and the table and its vessels, and the pure Menorah and all its vessels, and the altar of incense;

31:9 and the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base;

31:10 and the woven garments, and the set apart garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests;

31:11 and the oil of anointing, and the incense of perfumes for the sanctuary; according to all which I have commanded you, they shall do.

31:12 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, saying,

31:13 And you speak to the sons of Yisrael, charging them, only My Sabbaths you shall keep; for it is a sign between Me and you for your generation; to know that I am Yehovah your sanctifier68.

31:14 And you shall keep the Sabbath, for it is set apart for you; the profaners of it shall surely be executed; for everyone doing work in it, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of his people.

31:15 Work may be done six days, and on the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, set apart to Yehovah; everyone doing work on the Sabbath day surely shall be put to death.

31:16 And the sons of Yisrael shall guard the Sabbath, to observe and do the Sabbath for their generations; it is a never ending covenant.

31:17 It is a sign forever between Me and the sons of Yisrael; for in six days Yehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.69

31:18 And when He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave to Mosheh the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of Elohim.70

← Exodus

32:1 And the people saw that Mosheh delayed to come down from the mountain. And the people gathered to Aaron. And they said to him, Rise up, make for us gods who may go before our face. As for this Mosheh, the man who brought us up from the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what has become of him.

32:2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the rings of gold which are in the ears of your wives, your sons and your daughters; and bring them to me.

32:3 And all the people broke off the rings of gold in their ears, and they brought to Aaron.

32:4 And he took them from their hand and formed it with an engraving tool. And he made it a casted calf. And they said, These are your gods, O Yisrael, who brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim.

32:5 And Aaron saw, and he built an altar before it. And Aaron called and said, A feast to Yehovah tomorrow.

32:6 And they rose early on the morrow, and they offered burnt offerings and brought near shalom offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to make merry.

32:7 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, Come, go down, for your people whom you caused to go up from Mitsrayim are corrupted;

32:8 they have quickly turned off from the way which I commanded them; they have made for themselves a casted calf and have bowed to it, and have sacrificed to it. And they have said, These are your gods, O Yisrael, who brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim.

32:9 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, I have seen this people, and, look, it is a stiff-necked people.

32:10 And now leave Me alone that My anger may glow against them, that I may consume them. And I will make you a great nation.

32:11 And Mosheh prayed before the face of Yehovah his Elohim, and he said, Why, O Yehovah, does Your anger glow against Your people whom You caused to go up from the land of Mitsrayim with great power, and with a mighty hand?

32:12 Why should the Egyptians say, For evil He has caused them to go up, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them on the face of the earth? Turn from Your fierce anger and be moved to pity as to the evil to Your people.

32:13 Remember Abraham, Yitzhak, and Yisrael, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and You spoke to them, I will multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens, and all this land which I have said, I will give to your seed. And they shall possess it forever.

32:14 And Yehovah was moved to pity concerning the evil which He had spoken to do to His people.

32:15 And Mosheh turned and went down from the mountain, the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets written on their two sides, on this and on that side they were written.

32:16 And the tablets were the work of Elohim, and the writing was the writing of Elohim; it was engraved on the tablets.

32:17 And Yehoshua heard the voice of the people in their shouting. And he said to Mosheh, A sound of war in the camp!

32:18 And he said, It is not a sound of a cry of might, nor a sound of a cry of defeat; I am hearing the sound of singing.

32:19 And it happened, as he came near to the camp and saw the calf and dances, the anger of Mosheh glowed. And he threw the tablets from his hands, and he broke them below the mountain.

32:20 And he took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire and ground it until it was fine, then he scattered it on the face of the water. And he made the sons of Yisrael to drink it.

32:21 And Mosheh said to Aaron, What has this people done to you that you have made to come on them a great sin?

32:22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord glow. You know the people that it is in evil.

32:23 And they said to me, Make for us gods who may go before us; as for Mosheh, the man who caused us to go up from the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what has become of him.

32:24 And I said to them, Whoever has gold, let them break off. And they gave to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.

32:25 And Mosheh saw the people, that they were naked, for Aaron had let them naked for scornful shaming among their enemies.

32:26 And Mosheh stood in the gate of the camp and said, Who is for Yehovah? Come to me! And all the sons of Levi assembled to him.

32:27 And he said to them, So says Yehovah, Elohim of Yisrael, each one put his sword on his thigh; pass to and fro from gate to gate in the camp, and each one kill his brother, and each one his neighbor, and each one his kindred.

32:28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Mosheh. And about three thousand men of the people fell on that day.

32:29 And Mosheh said, Fill your hand today for Yehovah, since each one has been against his son and against his brother, and in order to give you a blessing today.

32:30 And it happened on the morrow, Mosheh said to the people, You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Yehovah; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.

32:31 And Mosheh went back to Yehovah and said, Oh, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold.

32:32 And now if You will, lift up their sin. And if not, I pray, blot me out from Your scroll which You have written.

32:33 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him from My scroll.

32:34 And now go, lead the people to that place which I have spoken to you. Look, My Messenger shall go before your face. And in the day of My visitation I will visit their sin on them.

32:35 And Yehovah plagued the people because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

← Exodus

33:1 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, Come, go up from this place, you and the people whom you have caused to go up out from the land of Mitsrayim, to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Yitzhak, and to Ya'akov, saying, I will give it to your seed.

33:2 And I will send a Messenger before your face, and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Yebusite;

33:3 to a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up among you, for you are a stiffnecked people, lest I consume you in the way.

33:4 And the people heard this evil word, and they mourned, and did not put any ornaments on themselves.

33:5 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, Say to the sons of Yisrael, You are a stiff-necked people; in one instant I will go up among you and I will consume you. And now lay off from you your ornaments, that I may know what I shall do to you.

33:6 And the sons of Yisrael pulled off their ornaments, from Mount Horeb.

33:7 And Mosheh took the tent and pitched it outside the camp, far off from the camp. And he called it the tabernacle of the house of assembly. And it happened that everyone seeking Yehovah went to the tabernacle of the house of assembly which was outside the camp.

33:8 And it happened as Mosheh went to the tabernacle, the people all rose and stood, each one at the door of his tent. And they looked after Mosheh until he had gone into the tabernacle.

33:9 And it happened as Mosheh went into the tabernacle, the pillar of cloud would come down and stand at the door of the tabernacle. And He spoke with Mosheh.

33:10 And all the people would see the pillar of the cloud standing at the door of the tabernacle. And all the people rose and bowed themselves, each one at the door of his tent.

33:11 And Yehovah would speak to Mosheh face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp. And his attendant, Yehoshua the son of Nun, a young man did not leave the middle of the tabernacle.

33:12 And Mosheh said to Yehovah, Look, You are saying to me, Cause this people to go up. And You, You have not told me whom You will send with me. And yet You have said, I know you by name, and also you have found favor in My eyes.

33:13 And now, if I have found favor in Your eyes, please make me see Your ways, and let me know You, so that I may find favor in Your eyes; and consider that this nation is Your people.

33:14 And He said, My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.

33:15 And they said to Him, If Your presence does not go, do not cause us to go up from here.

33:16 And now by what can it be known that I and Your people have found favor in Your eyes? Is it not in Your going with us? And we are distinguished, I and Your people, from all the nations which are on the face of the earth?

33:17 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, This thing which you have spoken I will do. For you have found favor in My eyes, and I know you by name.

33:18 And he said, I pray, let me see Your glory.

33:19 And He said, I will cause all My goodness to pass before your face. And I will call out the name of Yehovah before your face. And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.

33:20 And He said, You are not able to see My face; for no man can see Me and live.

33:21 And Yehovah said, Look, a place by Me! And you shall stand on a rock.

33:22 And as My glory is passing it will be that I will put you in a cleft of the rock; and I will cover My hand over you during My passing.

33:23 And I will remove My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face cannot be seen.

← Exodus

34:1 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone, like the former. And I will write on the tablets the words which were on the former tablet, which you broke.

34:2 And be prepared in the morning, and go up in the morning to Mount Sinai. And place yourself there by Me, on the top of the mountain.

34:3 And a man shall not go up with you. And also let no man be seen on all the mountain. Also do not allow the flocks and the herds to feed before that mountain.

34:4 And he cut out two tablets of stone like the former. And Mosheh rose early in the morning and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yehovah had commanded him. And he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.

34:5 And Yehovah came down in the cloud. And he placed himself there with Him, and he called on the name of Yehovah.

34:6 And Yehovah passed by before his face and called out: Yehovah! Yehovah Elohim! Merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and great in goodness and truth,

34:7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and not leaving entirely unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on sons, and on sons of sons, to the third and to the fourth generation.

34:8 And Moss hurried and bowed to the earth and worshiped.

34:9 And he said, If now I have found favor in Your eyes, O Yehovah, please let my Adonai go in our midst, for it is a stiffnecked people; and You forgive our iniquity and our sin, and take us as a possession.

34:10 And He said, Look, I am cutting a covenant; I will do wonderful things before all your people which not have been done in all the earth, and among all nations. And all the people in whose midst you are shall see the work of Yehovah, for that which I am about to do is awesome.

34:11 Take heed for yourself what I am commanding you today. Look, I am about to drive out from before your face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Yebusite.

34:12 Take heed to yourself, that you not cut a covenant with the people of the land to which you are going in, that it not be a snare in your midst.

34:13 But you shall cut down their altars, break their pillars, and you shall cut off their Asherahs.

34:14 For you shall not bow to another Elohim, for Yehovah whose name is Jealous, He is a jealous Elohim;

34:15 that you not cut a covenant with the people of the land, and they prostitute with their Elohims, and they call to you, and you eat from his sacrifice;

34:16 and you take from their daughters for your sons, and their daughters prostitute with their Elohims, and they lead your sons to prostitute with their Elohims. (Deut 7:3-4, 1Kgs 11:1-6)

34:17 You shall not make for yourself casted Elohims.

34:18 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened; seven days you shall eat unleavened things, which I command-ed you, at the time appointed, the new moon of Abib; for in the new moon of Abib you went out from Mitsrayim.

34:19 Every one opening the womb is Mine, and all your male livestock, a firstling of ox or sheep,

34:20 and a firstling of a donkey, you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you do not redeem, you shall break its neck. You shall redeem every firstborn of your sons, and they shall not be seen before My face empty.

34:21 You may work six days, and on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

34:22 And you shall observe a Feast of Shavuot for yourself, the first-fruits of the harvest of wheat; also the Feast of Ingathering after the turn of the year1.

34:23 Three times in the year every male of yours shall be seen before the face of Adonai Yehovah, the Elohim of Yisrael.

34:24 For I will expel nations from before your face and will make broad your territory; and no one shall covet your land, as you go up to appear before Yehovah your Elohim three times in the year.

34:25 You shall not slaughter the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, nor shall the sacrifice of the Pesach Feast pass the night until morning.

34:26 You shall bring the first of the first-fruits of your ground to the house of Yehovah your Elohim. You shall not boil a kid in the milk of its mother.

34:27 And Yehovah said to Mosheh, Write these words for yourself, for on the mouth of these words I will cut a covenant with you and with Yisrael2.

34:28 And he was there with Yehovah forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread and he did not drink water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Words.

34:29 And it happened as Mosheh was going down from Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony being in Mosheh' hand as he went down from the mountain, Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face had become shiny through His speaking with him.

34:30 And Aaron and all the sons of Yisrael saw Mosheh. And, look! The skin of his face shone. And they were afraid to draw near to him.

34:31 And Mosheh called to them. And Aaron and all the leaders among the house of assembly turned back to him. And Mosheh spoke to them.

34:32 And afterwards all the sons of Yisrael drew near. And he commanded them all that which Yehovah had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.

34:33 And Mosheh finished speaking with them, and he put a veil on his face.

34:34 And as Mosheh came in before Yehovah to speak with Him, he took off the veil until he went out3. And he would go out and speak to the sons of Yisrael that which he was commanded.

34:35 And the sons of Yisrael would see the face of Mosheh, that the skin of Mosheh' face shone. And Mosheh would put back the veil on his face until he went in to speak with Him.

← Exodus

35:1 And Mosheh assembled all the house of assembly of the sons of Yisrael and said to them, These are the Words which Yehovah has commanded, to do them:

35:2 Work may be done six days and on the seventh day it shall be set apart to you, a Sabbath of rest to Yehovah; everyone doing work in it surely shall die.

35:3 You shall not kindle a fire in all your dwellings on the day of the Sabbath.

35:4 And Mosheh said to all the house of assembly of the sons of Yisrael, saying, This is the thing which Yehovah commanded, saying,

35:5 Take from among you an offering to Yehovah. Everyone willing of heart shall bring it, the offering of Yehovah: gold and silver and bronze,

35:6 and blue, and purple, and crimson, and bleached linen, and goats' hair,

35:7 and rams' skins dyed red, and dugong skins, and acacia wood,

35:8 and oil for the light, and spices for the oil of anointing, and for the incense of perfumes;

35:9 and onyx stones, and stones of settings, for the ephod and for the breast pocket.

35:10 And every wise-hearted one among you, let them come and make all which Yehovah has commanded;

35:11 the tabernacle, its tent, and its cover, its hooks, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

35:12 the ark, and its poles, the mercyseat and the veil of the covering,

35:13 the table and its poles, and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence;

35:14 and the Menorah of the light, and its vessels, and its menorot, and the oil of the light;

35:15 and the incense altar and its poles, and the oil of anointing, and the incense of perfumes, and the screen of the door, at the door of the tabernacle;

35:16 the altar of burnt offering, and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;

35:17 the screens of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;

35:18 the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords;

35:19 the woven garments to minister in the sanctuary, the set apart garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons, to minister as priests.

35:20 And all the house of assembly of the sons of Yisrael went out from Mosheh.

35:21 And they came, every one whose heart was lifted up, and everyone whose ruach made him willing. They brought the offering of Yehovah for the work of the tabernacle of the house of assembly, and for all its service, and for the set apart garments.

35:22 And the men came in together with the women, everyone willing of heart. They brought in bracelets, and nose rings, and rings, and ornaments, every gold article, and every one who waved a wave offering of gold to Yehovah.

35:23 And everyone with whom blue was found, and purple, and crimson, and bleached linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and dugong skins, they brought.

35:24 Everyone rising up with an offering of silver and bronze, they brought the offering of Yehovah; and everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, they brought.

35:25 And every wise-hearted woman spun with her hands; and they brought spun yarn, blue, and purple, and crimson and bleached linen.

35:26 And all the women whose hearts were lifted up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.

35:27 And the leaders brought the onyx stones, and stones for the setting, for the ephod and for the breast pocket,

35:28 and the spice, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the perfumes.

35:29 And every man and woman whose hearts made them willing to bring for all the work which Yehovah commanded to be done by the hand of Mosheh; the sons of Yisrael brought a willing offering to Yehovah.

35:30 And Mosheh said to the sons of Yisrael, Look! Yehovah has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Yehudah.

35:31 And He has filled him with the ruach of Elohim, in wisdom, in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all workmanship,

35:32 and to devise designs, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

35:33 and in cuttings of stones for finishings, and in carving of wood, to work in all workmanship of design.

35:34 And He has put in his heart to teach, he and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan,

35:35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to do every work of a smith, and an artisan, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in crimson, and in bleached linen, and a weaver; doers of every work and devisers of designs.

← Exodus

36:1 And Bezaleel and Aholiab shall work with everyone wise of heart to whom Yehovah has given wisdom and intelligence, to know how to do every work of the service of the sanctuary, concerning all which Yehovah had commanded.

36:2 And Mosheh called to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to everyone wise of heart, to whom Yehovah had given a heart of wisdom, everyone whose heart had lifted him up to come near the work, to do it.

36:3 And they took every offering before Mosheh which the sons of Yisrael had brought for the work of the service in the set apart place, to do it. And they brought to him still more willing offerings morning by morning.

36:4 And all the wise men came, those doing every kind of work for the sanctuary, each one from his work they were doing.

36:5 And they spoke to Mosheh, saying, The people are bringing more than enough for the service of the work that Yehovah commanded, to do it.

36:6 And Mosheh commanded, and they caused it to be voiced in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more offering for the sanctuary; and the people were held back from bringing.

36:7 And their property was sufficient for all the work, to do it, and it was too much.

36:8 And every wise-hearted one among the doers of the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains, twined, bleached linen, and blue, and purple, and crimson; he made them with messengers, the work of an artisan.

36:9 The length of one curtain was twenty eight by the cubit; and the width was four by the cubit; the one curtain was the same measure for all the curtains.

36:10 And he joined five curtains one to another; and he joined five curtains one to another.

36:11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, from the end to the juncture; so he did at the edge of the last curtain at the second juncture.

36:12 He made fifty loops on one curtain; and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain which was at the second juncture; the loops cor-responded, one with another.

36:13 And he made fifty hooks of gold; and he joined the curtains by the hooks, one to another. And the tabernacle became one.

36:14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made them eleven curtains.

36:15 The length of the one curtain was thirty by the cubit, and four cubits the width of the one curtain; one measure to the eleven curtains.

36:16 And he joined the five curtains separately, and the six curtains separately.

36:17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain at the juncture; and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that joined the second.

36:18 And he made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent, to unite it in one (echad).

36:19 And he made a cover for the tent of rams' skins dyed red; and a cover of dugong skins from above.

36:20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle, standing planks of acacia wood.

36:21 The length of the board was ten cubits, and a cubit and a half was the width of the one board.

36:22 The one board was connected by two pins, one to another; so he did to all the boards of the tabernacle.

36:23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.

36:24 And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under the one board for its two pins.

36:25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, to the north side, he made twenty boards,

36:26 and their forty silver sockets; two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board.

36:27 And he made six boards for the sides of the tabernacle westward.

36:28 And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle, in the sides.

36:29 And they were double from below, and in like manner they were complete to its top, to the first ring. So he did to both of them, for the two corners.

36:30 And there were eight boards, and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets; two sockets and two sockets under the one board.

36:31 And he made bars of acacia wood; five to the boards of the second side of the tabernacle;

36:32 and five bars to the boards of the sides of the tabernacle westward.

36:33 And he made the middle bar to go through the middle of the boards, from end to end.

36:34 And he overlaid the boards with gold. And he made the rings gold, housing for the poles; and he overlaid the bars with gold.

36:35 And he made a veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and twined, bleached linen. He made it the work of an artisan, with messengers.

36:36 And he made four pillars of acacia for it. And he overlaid them with gold, their hooks gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them.

36:37 And he made a screen for the door of the tabernacle, blue, and purple, and crimson, and twined, bleached linen, the work of an embroiderer;

37:9 And the messengers were spreading out wings above, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, their faces each toward the other; the faces of the messengers were toward the mercyseat.

37:12 And he made for it a border of a hand's breadth all around. And he made a wreath of gold for its border all around.

37:13 And he cast for it four rings of gold; and he put the rings on the four corners, which were to its four feet.

37:14 The rings were near the border, the housings for the poles, to carry the table.

37:15 And he made the poles of acacia wood; and he overlaid them with gold, to lift up the table.

37:16 And he made the vessels which were on the table, its platters and its bowls, and its sacrificial cups, and its pitchers by which a drink offering is made, with pure gold.

37:17 And he made the Menorah of pure gold; he made the Menorah of beaten work, its side, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs and its blossoms were from it.

37:19 Three almond-like bowls were on the one branch, with knob and blossom; and three almond-like bowls on the one branch, with knob and blossom; so for the six branches, those going out from the Menorah .

37:20 And on the Menorah were four almond-like bowls, its knobs and its blossoms.

39:8 And he made the breast pocket, a work of an artisan, like the work of the ephod: gold, blue, purple, and crimson, and twined bleached linen;

39:9 it was square. They made the breast pocket double; its length a span and its width a span, doubled.

39:10 And they set it in four rows of stones: one row, the first row: a ruby, a topaz and a carbuncle.

39:11 The second row: a turquoise, a sapphire and a jasper.

39:12 And the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

39:13 And the fourth row: a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper; these set in their settings, plaited work of gold.

39:14 And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Yisrael; they were twelve according to their names, the engravings of a signet, each according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

39:15 And they made cords of chains on the breast pocket, a work of pure gold cords.

39:16 And they made two gold plaitings and two golden rings; and they put the two rings on the two ends of the breast pocket.

39:17 And they put the two golden cords on the two rings, on the ends of the breast pocket.

39:18 And they put the two ends of the two cords on the two plaitings. And they put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, on the front of its face.

39:19 And they made two rings of gold, and they put them on the two ends of the breast pocket, on its edge, on the inward side of the ephod.

39:20 And they made two rings of gold, and they put them on the two shoulderpieces of the ephod from beneath, on the front of its face, near its joining; from above to the band of the ephod.

39:21 And they fastened the breast pocket from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue ribbon, to be on the ephod band, that the breast pocket not move itself from the ephod, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

39:22 And he made the robe of the ephod, skilled work, all of blue.

39:23 And the mouth of the robe in its middle was like the mouth of a corselet, the edge of its mouth all around, that it might not be torn.

39:24 And they made on the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and crimson, bleached, twined linen.

39:25 And they made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells in the midst of the pomegranates, all around on the hem of the robe, all around, among the pomegranates,

39:26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate on the hem of the robe all around for ministering, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

39:27 And they made the tunics of bleached linen, skilled work, for Aaron and for his sons;

39:28 also the miter was of bleached linen, and the turban of the caps of bleached linen, and the breeches of bleached, twined linen.

39:29 And the girdle was of twined bleached linen, and blue, and purple, and crimson, the work of an embroiderer, even as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

39:30 And they made the plate of the set apart crown of pure gold, and they wrote on it the writing of the engravings of a signet: HOLINESS TO Yehovah.

39:31 And they put a blue ribbon on it, to fasten it on the miter from above, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

39:32 And all the work of the tabernacle of the house of assembly was finished. And the sons of Yisrael did according to all which Yehovah commanded Mosheh; so they did.

39:33 And they brought the tabernacle to Mosheh, the tent and all its vessels, its hooks, its boards, it bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,

39:34 and the cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the cover of dugong skins, and the veil of the covering,

39:35 the ark of the testimony, and its poles, and the mercyseat,

39:36 the table and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence;

39:37 the pure Menorah, its menorot the menorot of arrangement and all its vessels, and the oil of the light,

39:38 and the altar of gold, and the oil of anointing, and the incense of fragrant spices, and the screen of the door of the tabernacle,

39:39 the bronze altar and bronze grating which was to it, its poles and all its vessels, the laver and its base,

39:40 the screen of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the screen for the opening of the court, its cords and its pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle for the tabernacle of the house of assembly,

39:41 the woven garments for serving in the sanctuary, the set apart garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for serving as priests.

39:42 According to all which Yehovah commanded Mosheh, so did the sons of Yisrael, all the work.

39:43 And Mosheh saw all the work. And, look, they had done it; as Yehovah commanded Mosheh, so they had done. And Mosheh blessed them.

← Exodus

40:1 And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh, saying,

40:2 On the first day of the new moon, on the first of the new moon, you shall raise up the tent of the tabernacle of the house of assembly.

40:3 And you shall put there the ark of testimony. And you shall cover the ark with the veil.

40:4 And you shall bring in the table and set in order its arrangement. And you shall bring in the Menorah and set up its menorot.

40:5 And you shall put the altar of gold for incense before the ark of testimony. And you shall set up the screen of the door of the tabernacle.

40:6 And you shall set up the altar of burnt offerings before the door of the tent of the tabernacle of the house of assembly.

40:7 And you shall put the laver between the tabernacle of the house of assembly and the altar. And you shall put water there.

40:8 And you shall set up the court all around. And you shall place the screen of the opening of the court.

40:9 And you shall take the oil of anointing, and you shall anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it. And you shall sanctify it and all its vessels. And it shall become set apart.

40:10 And you shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels. And you shall sanctify it and the altar shall become most set apart.

40:11 And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and you shall sanctify it.

40:12 And you shall cause to draw near Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the house of assembly. And you shall wash them with water.

40:13 And you shall clothe Aaron with the set apart garments. And you shall anoint him and sanctify him. And he shall serve as priest to Me.

40:14 And you shall cause his sons to draw near. And you shall clothe them with tunics.

40:15 And you shall anoint them as you anointed their father. And they shall serve as priests to Me. And their anointing shall be for an everlasting priesthood for their generations.

40:16 And Mosheh did so, according to all that Yehovah commanded him; so he did.

40:17 And it happened in the first new moon, in the second year, on the first of the new moon, the tabernacle was raised up.

40:18 And Mosheh raised up the tabernacle, and he gave its sockets, and he set up its boards, and he gave its bars, and he raised up its pillars.

40:19 And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle. And he put the cover of the tent over it from above, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

40:20 And he took and gave the testimony into the ark. And he put the poles on the ark. And he gave the mercyseat on the ark from above.

40:21 And he caused the ark to go in into the tabernacle. And he placed the veil of the covering, and he covered over the ark of testimony, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

40:22 And he gave the table into the tabernacle of the house of assembly, on the side of the tabernacle, northward outside the veil.

40:23 And he set the bread in order on it before the face of Yehovah, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

40:24 And he put the Menorah in the tabernacle of the house of assembly, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

40:25 And he set up the menorot before Yehovah, as Yehovah had commanded Mosheh.

40:26 And he set up the altar of gold in the tabernacle of the house of assembly, before the veil.

40:27 And he burned on it incense of fragrant spices, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

40:28 And he set up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

40:29 And he put the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tent of the tabernacle of the house of assembly. And he offered up on it the burnt offering and the food offering, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

40:30 And he put the laver between the tabernacle of the house of assembly and the altar. And he gave there water for washing.

40:31 And from it Mosheh and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.

40:32 As they came into the tabernacle of the house of assembly, and as they drew near to the altar, they would wash, as Yehovah commanded Mosheh.

40:33 And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar. And he gave the screen of the opening of the court. And Mosheh finished the work.

40:34 And the cloud covered the tabernacle of the house of assembly; and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.

40:35 And Mosheh was not able to come into the tabernacle of the house of assembly because the cloud dwelt on it. And the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.

40:36 And as the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the sons of Yisrael pulled up stakes in all their travels.

40:37 And if the cloud did not go up, then they did not pull up stakes until the day it went up. (Num 9:17-23)

40:38 For the cloud of Yehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Yisrael in all their pulling up of stakes.
