Exodus - Chapter 40

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation [of witness].

3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof [and place its lamps on it].

5 And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense to burn before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle of witness.

6 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation [of witness], and thou shalt set up the tabernacle round about, and thou shalt hallow all that belongs to it round about.

7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof [its furniture]: and it shall be holy.

10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels [its furniture], and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door [the doors] of the tabernacle of the congregation [of witness], and wash them with water.

13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and put on the chapiters, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof into their places, and reared up his pillars.

19 And he spread abroad the tent [the curtains] over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

20 And he took and put the testimony [the testimonies] into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation [in the tabernacle of witness], upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

23 And he set the shewbread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation [into the tabernacle of witness], over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation [in the tabernacle of witness] before the vail:

27 And he burnt sweet incense [incense of composition] thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

28 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

30 And he made the laver, and he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there to wash withal, that at it Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet. When they went into the tabernacle of witness, or whensoever they should advance to the altar to do service, they washed at it, as the Lord commanded Moses.

31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation [the tabernacle of witness], and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation [the tabernacle of testimony], because the cloud abode thereon, overshadowed it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

36 And when the cloud was taken up [went up] from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys [prepared to depart with their baggage]:

37 But if the cloud were not taken up [went not up], then they journeyed not [they did not prepare to depart] till the day that it was taken up [when the cloud went up].

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.

Exodus - Chapter 39

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses. And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places.

2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen.

3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, the threads of gold, to work, to interweave it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen twined, with cunning work [they made it a woven work].

4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together, joined from both sides: by the two edges was it coupled together, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another.

5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same. They made it of the same material according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

6 And they wrought onyx stones [two emerald stones clasped together] inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

7 And he put them on the shoulders [on the shoulder-pieces] of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

8 And he made the breastplate [the oracle] of cunning work, a work woven with embroidery, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate [the oracle] double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

10 And they set in it, interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle [emerald]: this was the first row.

12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper [chrysolite]: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

15 And they made upon the breastplate [the oracle] chains at the ends [turned wreaths], of wreathen work of pure gold.

16 And they made two ouches [circlets] of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate [on both the (upper) corners of the oracle].

17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate [the oracle], and the two wreaths into the two couplings.

18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches [circlets], and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate [projections on the top of the oracle], upon the border of it, which was on the side [the hinder part] of the ephod inward.

20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides, on both the shoulders, of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof [by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod], above the curious girdle of the ephod.

21 And they did bind the breastplate [the oracle] by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod [joined together with the woven work of the ephod], and that the breastplate [oracle] might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

22 And he [they] made the robe of the ephod [the tunic under the ephod] of woven work, all of blue.

23 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, woven closely together, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

24 And they made upon the hems of the robe [on the border of the tunic below] pomegranates of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen.

25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.

27 And they made coats [vestments] of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets [tires] of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

29 And a girdle [their girdles] of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, of needlework [the work of an embroiderer]; as the LORD commanded Moses.

30 And they made the plate of the holy crown, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue [they put it on the border of blue], to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.

32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they. And of the gold that remained of the offering they made vessels to minister with before the Lord. And the blue that was left, and the purple, and the scarlet they made (into) garments of ministry for Aaron, so that he should minister with them in the sanctuary;

33 And they brought the garments and the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, its bases, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,

34 And the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers’ skins, and the vail of the covering,

35 The ark of the testimony [of the covenant], and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat, and the altar and all its furniture.

36 The table of shewbread, and all the vessels thereof [all its furniture], and the shewbread upon it,

37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, lamps for burning, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense of composition, and the pure candlestick, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

39 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

40 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, the veil of the door of the tabernacle, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle and all its instruments, for the tent of the congregation: and the skins, even rams' skins dyed red, and the blue coverings, and the coverings of the other things, and the pins, and all the instruments for the works of the tabernacle of witness.

41 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place [the garments of the sanctuary], and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister in the priest’s office.

42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work [all the furniture].

43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

Exodus - Chapter 38

1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. He made the brazen altar of the brazen censers, which belonged to the men engaged in sedition with the gathering of Core.

2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.

3 And he made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.

4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate [an appendage] of network under the compass [the grate] thereof beneath unto the midst of it; and he fastened to it four brazen rings on the four parts of the appendage of the altar, wide (enough) for the bars, so as to bear the altar with them.

5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.

6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.

7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.

8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling [that fasted], which assembled [fasted] at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [of witness] in the day in which he set it up.

9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits every way:

10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

11 And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits every way, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver, and on the south side a hundred every way, and their posts twenty and their sockets twenty.

12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

13 And for the east side eastward curtains of fifty cubits, of fifteen cubits behind.

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

15 And for the other side [the second back] of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.

17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted [overlaid] with silver.

18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework [the work of an embroiderer], of blue, and purple, and spun 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.

19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.

20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass, and they (were) overlaid with silver.

21 This is the sum [the construction] of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony [of witness], as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the public service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, who was chief artificer in the woven works and needle-works, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, according to all the fabrication of the holy things, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty [twenty] shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary [the holy shekel].

25 And the offering of silver of them, from the men that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, one drachm apiece, even the half shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary [the holy shekel]:

26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets [chapiters] of the sanctuary, and the sockets [chapiters] of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them. A hundred chapiters to the hundred talents, a talent to a chapiter.

29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. And the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he formed into hooks for the pillars, and he gilt their chapiters and adorned them.

30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar. And the brass of the offering (was) seventy talents, and a thousand five hundred shekels;

31 and they made of it the bases of the door of the tabernacle of witness, And the sockets [the bases] of the court round about, and the sockets [the bases] of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about, and the brazen appendage of the altar, and all the vessels of the altar, and all the instruments of the tabernacle of witness.

Exodus - Chapter 37

1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim 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:

2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark, so that men should bear the ark with them.

6 And he made the mercy seat, the propitiatory over the ark, of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

8 One cherub on the end on this side of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end on that side of the propitiatory: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

10 And he made the table of shittim wood [of pure gold]: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:

11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

12 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof, two on the one side and two on the other side, broad, so that (men) should lift it with the staves in them.

14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

15 And he made the staves of the ark and of the table of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table [the furniture of the table], his dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and his spoons, and his bowls with which he should offer drink-offerings, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.

17 And he made the candlestick which gives light,  of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

18 the stem solid, and 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:

19 and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other. Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

20 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

21 And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it. And (as to) their lamps, which are on the ends, knops (proceeded) from them; and sockets proceeding from them, that the lamps might be upon them; and the seventh socket, on the top of the candlestick, on the summit above, entirely of solid gold.

22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

23 And on the candlestick he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes [its funnels], of pure gold.

24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

25 And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.

26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.

27 And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.

28 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the composition of pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary [the pure work of the perfumer].

Exodus - Chapter 36

1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man [in understanding], in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary [according to the holy offices], according to all that the LORD had commanded.

2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom [knowledge], even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work [who were freely willing to come forward to the Works] to do it:

3 And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings from those who brought them every morning.

4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

6 And 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 any more.

7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it [for making the furniture], and too much [and they left some besides].

8 And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.

13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

14 And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

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

17 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above that.

20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.

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

22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,

26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

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

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

29 And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

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

31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

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

34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. He oerlaid the posts (with silver), and cast for each post golden rings, and gilded the bars with gold; and he gilded the posts of the veil with gold, and made the hooks of gold. He made also the rings of the tabernacle of gold; and the rings of the court, and the rings for drawing out the veil above of brass. He cast the silver chapiters of the tabernacle, and the brazen chapiters of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court; and he made silver hooks for the posts, he overlaid them with silver on the posts.

35 And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning [woven] work.

36 And he made thereunto [and they put it on] four pillars of shittim [incorruptible] wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks [their chapiters] were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

37 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle of witness’ door of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework, woven work with cherubs;

38 And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets [clasps] with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.

Exodus - Chapter 35

1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded [spoken], that ye should do them.

2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. I (am) the Lord.

4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,

5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, the first-fruits, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,

6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats’ hair,

7 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ blue skins, and shittim [incorruptible] wood,

8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

9 And onyx [sardine] stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate [and stones for engraving for the shoulder-piece and full-length robe].

10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;

11 The tabernacle, his tent, and the cords, and his covering, and the rings, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

12 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat [its propitiatory], and the vail of the covering,

13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread, all its furniture.

14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,

15 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

16 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot, all its furniture,

17 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, and the emerald stones,

18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

19 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments in which they shall do service; and the garments of priesthood, of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office, and the anointing oil, and the compound incense..

20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. And they brought, they whose heart prompted them, and they to whomsoever it seemed good in their mind, each and offering:

21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation [of witness], and for all his service, and for the holy garments [the robes of the sanctuary].

22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted [to whom it seemed good in his heart], and brought from the women bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, and necklaces, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.

23 And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord. And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and dyed red skins of rams, and badgers’ blue skins, brought them.

24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD’s offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim [incorruptible] wood for any work of the service [of the preparation], brought it.

25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.

26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.

27 And the rulers brought onyx [emerald] stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate [the oracle];

28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense [and the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the incense].

29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work [whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the Works], which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD God hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

31 And he hath filled him with the spirit [a divine spirit] of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge of all things, and in all manner of workmanship;

32 And to devise curious works [to labour skillfully in all works of cunning workmanship], to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood [fashion the wood], to make any manner of cunning work [to work in every work of wisdom].

34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach [gave improvement in understanding], both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, understanding (and) perception, to understand to work all manner of work of the sanctuary, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

 

Exodus - Chapter 34

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up to me to the mountain: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount [the mountain].

3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

4 And 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 him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed [called by] the name of the LORD.

6 And the LORD passed by before him [his face], and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering and very compassionate, and abundant in goodness and truth,

7 Keeping justice and mercy for thousands, forgiving [taking away] iniquity and transgression [unrighteousness] and sin [sins], and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting [bringing] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin [and thou shalt take away our sins and our iniquities], and take us for thine inheritance [and we will be thine].

10 And he, the Lord, said to Moses, Behold, I make [establish] a covenant for thee in the presence of all thy people; before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work [Works] of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and Gergesite, and the Jebusite.

12 Take heed to thyself, lest at any time thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare [a stumbling-block] in the midst of thee:

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and break in pieces their pillars, and cut down their groves, and the graven images of their gods ye shall burn with fire:

14 For thou shalt worship no other god [strange gods]: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

15 Lest at any time thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice [of their feasts];

16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and thou shouldest give of thy daughters to their sons, and thy daughters should go a whoring after their gods, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib [in the month of new (corn)]: for in the month Abib [the month of new (corn)]  thou camest out from Egypt.

19 The males (are) mine, all that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck [pay a price]. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time [seed-time] and in harvest thou shalt rest.

22 And thou shalt observe [keep to me] the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end [in the middle of the year].

23 Thrice in the year shall all your men children [every male of thine] appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid [boil a lamb] in his mother’s milk.

27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words for thyself: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

28 And he, Moses, 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 commandments [ten sayings].

29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone [was glorified] while he, God, talked with him.

30 And when Aaron and all the children [the elders] of Israel saw Moses, behold, the appearance of the skin of his face shone [was made glorious]; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation [of the synagogue] returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.

32 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.

33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.

34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone [that it was glorified]: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Exodus - Chapter 33

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

2 And I will send at the same time an [my] angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and Gergesite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

3 And I will bring thee unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned in mourning apparel: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: take heed lest I bring on you another plague, I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off your glorious apparel, put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee [I will shew thee what I will do to thee].

6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments and their array by the mount Horeb.

7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation [of Testimony]. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle without the camp, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, when Moses departed, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name [I know thee above all], and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, reveal thyself to me, that I may know thee [that I may evidently see thee], that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people [and that I may know that this great nation (is) thy people].

14 And he said, My presence [I myself] shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me [with us], carry us not [bring me not] up hence.

16 For wherein shall it be surely known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated [glorified], I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name [above all].

18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory [Manifest thyself to me].

19 And he said, I will make all my goodness [my glory] pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD [I will call by my name, the Lord] before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me [see my face], and live.

21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a [the] rock:

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
