Leviticus Chapter 10 10:1 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. 10:2 So fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. 10:3 And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying: ‘By those who come near Me I must be regarded as holy; And before all the people I must be glorified.'” So Aaron held his peace. 10:4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.” 10:5 So they went near and carried them by their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said. 10:6 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, “Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, lest you die, and wrath come upon all the people. But let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled. 10:7 “You shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you.” And they did according to the word of Moses. 10:8 Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying: 10:9 “Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, 10:10 “that you may distinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean, 10:11 “and that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.” 10:12 And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were left: “Take the grain offering that remains of the offerings made by fire to the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy. 10:13 “You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your due and your sons’ due, of the sacrifices made by fire to the Lord; for so I have been commanded. 10:14 “The breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering you shall eat in a clean place, you, your sons, and your daughters with you; for they are your due and your sons’ due, which are given from the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. 10:15 “The thigh of the heave offering and the breast of the wave offering they shall bring with the offerings of fat made by fire, to offer as a wave offering before the Lord. And it shall be yours and your sons’ with you, by a statute forever, as the Lord has commanded.” 10:16 Then Moses made careful inquiry about the goat of the sin offering, and there it was-burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying, 10:17 “Why have you not eaten the sin offering in a holy place, since it is most holy, and God has given it to you to bear the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord? 10:18 “See Its blood was not brought inside the holy place; indeed you should have eaten it in a holy place, as I commanded.” 10:19 And Aaron said to Moses, “Look, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and such things have befallen me If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?” 10:20 So when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus Chapter 11 11:1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, 11:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth: 11:3 ‘Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud-that you may eat. 11:4 ‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have cloven hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; 11:5 ‘the rock hyrax, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; 11:6 ‘the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; 11:7 ‘and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. 11:8 ‘Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you. 11:9 ‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers-that you may eat. 11:10 ‘But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you. 11:11 ‘They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination. 11:12 ‘Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales-that shall be an abomination to you. 11:13 ‘And these you shall regard as an abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard, 11:14 ‘the kite, and the falcon after its kind; 11:15 ‘every raven after its kind, 11:16 ‘the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind; 11:17 ‘the little owl, the fisher owl, and the screech owl; 11:18 ‘the white owl, the jackdaw, and the carrion vulture; 11:19 ‘the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat. 11:20 ‘All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you. 11:21 ‘Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth. 11:22 ‘These you may eat: the locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind. 11:23 ‘But all other flying insects which have four feet shall be an abomination to you. 11:24 ‘By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until evening; 11:25 ‘whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening: 11:26 ‘The carcass of any animal which divides the foot, but is not cloven-hoofed or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean. 11:27 ‘And whatever goes on its paws, among all kinds of animals that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Whoever touches any such carcass shall be unclean until evening. 11:28 ‘Whoever carries any such carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. It is unclean to you. 11:29 ‘These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the mole, the mouse, and the large lizard after its kind; 11:30 ‘the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon. 11:31 ‘These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening. 11:32 ‘Anything on which any of them falls, when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which any work is done, it must be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean. 11:33 ‘Any earthen vessel into which any of them falls you shall break; and whatever is in it shall be unclean: 11:34 ‘in such a vessel, any edible food upon which water falls becomes unclean, and any drink that may be drunk from it becomes unclean. 11:35 ‘And everything on which a part of any such carcass falls shall be unclean; whether it is an oven or cooking stove, it shall be broken down; for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 11:36 ‘Nevertheless a spring or a cistern, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean, but whatever touches any such carcass becomes unclean. 11:37 ‘And if a part of any such carcass falls on any planting seed which is to be sown, it remains clean. 11:38 ‘But if water is put on the seed, and if a part of any such carcass falls on it, it becomes unclean to you. 11:39 ‘And if any animal which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until evening. 11:40 ‘He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. 11:41 ‘And every creeping thing that creeps on the earth shall be an abomination. It shall not be eaten. 11:42 ‘Whatever crawls on its belly, whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth-these you shall not eat, for they are an abomination. 11:43 ‘You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps; nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them. 11:44 ‘For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 11:45 ‘For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 11:46 ‘This is the law of the animals and the birds and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, 11:47 ‘to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.'”

Leviticus Chapter 8 8:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, a bull as the sin offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 8:3 “and gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.” 8:4 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. And the congregation was gathered together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 8:5 And Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the Lord commanded to be done.” 8:6 Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. 8:7 And he put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him. 8:8 Then he put the breastplate on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. 8:9 And he put the turban on his head. Also on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 8:10 Also Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. 8:11 He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to consecrate them. 8:12 And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him. 8:13 Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put tunics on them, girded them with sashes, and put hats on them, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 8:14 And he brought the bull for the sin offering. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering, 8:15 and Moses killed it. Then he took the blood, and put some on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar. And he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and consecrated it, to make atonement for it. 8:16 Then he took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar. 8:17 But the bull, its hide, its flesh, and its offal, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 8:18 Then he brought the ram as the burnt offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, 8:19 and Moses killed it. Then he sprinkled the blood all around on the altar. 8:20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burned the head, the pieces, and the fat. 8:21 Then he washed the entrails and the legs in water. And Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 8:22 And he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, 8:23 and Moses killed it. Also he took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 8:24 Then he brought Aaron’s sons. And Moses put some of the blood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses sprinkled the blood all around on the altar. 8:25 Then he took the fat and the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh; 8:26 and from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, a cake of bread anointed with oil, and one wafer, and put them on the fat and on the right thigh; 8:27 and he put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. 8:28 Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar, on the burnt offering. They were consecration offerings for a sweet aroma. That was an offering made by fire to the Lord. 8:29 And Moses took the breast and waved it as a wave offering before the Lord. It was Moses’ part of the ram of consecration, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 8:30 Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and the garments of his sons with him. 8:31 And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’ 8:32 “What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire. 8:33 “And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For seven days he shall consecrate you. 8:34 “As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. 8:35 “Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded.” 8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus Chapter 9 9:1 It came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. 9:2 And he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. 9:3 “And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, ‘Take a kid of the goats as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering, 9:4 ‘also a bull and a ram as peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with oil; for today the Lord will appear to you.'” 9:5 So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of meeting. And all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord. 9:6 Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord commanded you to do, and the glory of the Lord will appear to you.” 9:7 And Moses said to Aaron, “Go to the altar, offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. Offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded.” 9:8 Aaron therefore went to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9:9 Then the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him. And he dipped his finger in the blood, put it on the horns of the altar, and poured the blood at the base of the altar. 9:10 But the fat, the kidneys, and the fatty lobe from the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 9:11 The flesh and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp. 9:12 And he killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on the altar. 9:13 Then they presented the burnt offering to him, with its pieces and head, and he burned them on the altar. 9:14 And he washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar. 9:15 Then he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and killed it and offered it for sin, like the first one. 9:16 And he brought the burnt offering and offered it according to the prescribed manner. 9:17 Then he brought the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 9:18 He also killed the bull and the ram as sacrifices of peace offerings, which were for the people. And Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on the altar, 9:19 and the fat from the bull and the ram-the fatty tail, what covers the entrails and the kidneys, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver; 9:20 and they put the fat on the breasts. Then he burned the fat on the altar; 9:21 but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded. 9:22 Then Aaron lifted his hand toward the people, blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and peace offerings. 9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people, 9:24 and fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to the Lord. Everyone who touches them must be holy.'” 6:19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6:20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord, beginning on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a daily grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night. 6:21 “It shall be made in a pan with oil. When it is mixed, you shall bring it in.

So the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 4:21 ‘Then he shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is a sin offering for the assembly. 4:22 ‘When a ruler has sinned, and done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord his God in anything which should not be done, and is guilty, 4:23 ‘or if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish. 4:24 ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord.

Leviticus Chapter 5 5:1 ‘If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter-if he does not tell it, he bears guilt. 5:2 ‘Or if a person touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and he is unaware of it, he also shall be unclean and guilty. 5:3 ‘Or if he touches human uncleanness- whatever uncleanness with which a man may be defiled, and he is unaware of it- when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty. 5:4 ‘Or if a person swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good, whatever it is that a man may pronounce by an oath, and he is unaware of it-when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty in any of these matters. 5:5 ‘And it shall be, when he is guilty in any of these matters, that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing; 5:6 ‘and he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin. 5:7 ‘If he is not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord, for his trespass which he has committed, two turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. 5:8 ‘And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it completely. 5:9 ‘Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. 5:10 ‘And he shall offer the second as a burnt offering according to the prescribed manner. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him. 5:11 ‘But if he is not able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 5:12 ‘Then he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as a memorial portion, and burn it on the altar according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. It is a sin offering. 5:13 ‘The priest shall make atonement for him, for his sin that he has committed in any of these matters; and it shall be forgiven him. The rest shall be the priest’s as a grain offering.'” 5:14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 5:15 “If a person commits a trespass, and sins unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord, then he shall bring to the Lord as his trespass offering a ram without blemish from the flocks, with your valuation in shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, as a trespass offering. 5:16 “And he shall make restitution for the harm that he has done in regard to the holy thing, and shall add one-fifth to it and give it to the priest. So the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. 5:17 “If a person sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord, though he does not know it, yet he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity. 5:18 “And he shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, with your valuation, as a trespass offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his ignorance in which he erred and did not know it, and it shall be forgiven him. 5:19 “It is a trespass offering; he has certainly trespassed against the Lord.”

Exodus Chapter 38 38:1 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood; five cubits was its length and five cubits its width-it was square-and its height was three cubits. 38:2 He made its horns on its four corners; the horns were of one piece with it. And he overlaid it with bronze. 38:3 He made all the utensils for the altar: the pans, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils he made of bronze. 38:4 And he made a grate of bronze network for the altar, under its rim, midway from the bottom. 38:5 He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles. 38:6 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. 38:7 Then he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it. He made the altar hollow with boards. 38:8 He made the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 38:9 Then he made the court on the south side; the hangings of the court were of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long. 38:10 There were twenty pillars for them, with twenty bronze sockets.

Exodus Chapter 39 39:1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet thread they made garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 39:2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen. 39:3 And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads, to work it in with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread and the fine linen, into artistic designs. 39:4 They made shoulder straps for it to couple it together; it was coupled together at its two edges. 39:5 And the intricately woven band of his ephod that was on it was of the same workmanship, woven of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 39:6 And they set onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold; they were engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel. 39:7 He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 39:8 And he made the breastplate, artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen. 39:9 They made the breastplate square by doubling it; a span was its length and a span its width when doubled. 39:10 And they set in it four rows of stones: a row with a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row; 39:11 the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 39:12 the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 39:13 the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings. 39:14 There were twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes. 39:15 And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold. 39:16 They also made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 39:17 And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 39:18 The two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front. 39:19 And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was on the inward side of the ephod. 39:20 They made two other gold rings and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod. 39:21 And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 39:22 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. 39:23 And there was an opening in the middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of mail, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear. 39:24 They made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, and of fine woven linen. 39:25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between the pomegranates: 39:26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe to minister in, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 39:27 They made tunics, artistically woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons, 39:28 a turban of fine linen, exquisite hats of fine linen, short trousers of fine woven linen, 39:29 and a sash of fine woven linen with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, made by a weaver, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 39:30 Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD. 39:31 And they tied to it a blue cord, to fasten it above on the turban, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 39:32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. 39:33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 39:34 the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering; 39:35 the ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat; 39:36 the table, all its utensils, and the showbread; 39:37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light; 39:38 the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door; 39:39 the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base; 39:40 the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs; all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 39:41 and the garments of ministry, to minister in the holy place: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister as priests. 39:42 According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. 39:43 Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses blessed them.

Exodus Chapter 36 36:1 “And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.” 36:2 Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work. 36:3 And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. 36:4 Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing, 36:5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.” 36:6 So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing, 36:7 for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done-indeed too much. 36:8 Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them. 36:9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all the same size. 36:10 And he coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another. 36:11 He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set; likewise he did on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set. 36:12 Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain on the end of the second set; the loops held one curtain to another. 36:13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps, that it might be one tabernacle. 36:14 He made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains. 36:15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains were the same size. 36:16 He coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. 36:17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set. 36:18 He also made fifty bronze clasps to couple the tent together, that it might be one. 36:19 Then he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of badger skins above that. 36:20 For the tabernacle he made boards of acacia wood, standing upright. 36:21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board a cubit and a half. 36:22 Each board had two tenons for binding one to another. Thus he made for all the boards of the tabernacle. 36:23 And he made boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side. 36:24 Forty sockets of silver he made to go under the twenty boards: two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons. 36:25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards 36:26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under each of the boards. 36:27 For the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards. 36:28 He also made two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle. 36:29 And they were coupled at the bottom and coupled together at the top by one ring. Thus he made both of them for the two corners. 36:30 So there were eight boards and their sockets-sixteen sockets of silver-two sockets under each of the boards. 36:31 And he made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle, 36:32 five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle on the far side westward. 36:33 And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one end to the other. 36:34 He overlaid the boards with gold, made their rings of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. 36:35 And he made a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen; it was worked with an artistic design of cherubim. 36:36 He made for it four pillars of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them. 36:37 He also made a screen for the tabernacle door, of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver, 36:38 and its five pillars with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their rings with gold, but their five sockets were bronze.
Exodus Chapter 37 37:1 Then Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 37:2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it. 37:3 And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it. 37:4 He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 37:5 And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 37:6 He also made the mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits was its length and a cubit and a half its width. 37:7 He made two cherubim of beaten gold; he made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat: 37:8 one cherub at one end on this side, and the other cherub at the other end on that side. He made the cherubim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat. 37:9 The cherubim spread out their wings above, and covered the mercy seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. 37:10 He made the table of acacia wood; two cubits was its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 37:11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold all around it. 37:12 Also he made a frame of a handbreadth all around it, and made a molding of gold for the frame all around it. 37:13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs. 37:14 The rings were close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table. 37:15 And he made the poles of acacia wood to bear the table, and overlaid them with gold. 37:16 He made of pure gold the utensils which were on the table: its dishes, its cups, its bowls, and its pitchers for pouring. 37:17 He also made the lampstand of pure gold; of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and its flowers were of the same piece. 37:18 And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. 37:19 There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower-and so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 37:20 And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. 37:21 There was a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches extending from it. 37:22 Their knobs and their branches were of one piece; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold. 37:23 And he made its seven lamps, its wick-trimmers, and its trays of pure gold. 37:24 Of a talent of pure gold he made it, with all its utensils. 37:25 He made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit and its width a cubit-it was square-and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it. 37:26 And he overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides all around, and its horns. He also made for it a molding of gold all around it. 37:27 He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, by its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to bear it. 37:28 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 37:29 He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.

Exodus Chapter 34 34:1 And the Lord said to Moses, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke. 34:2 “So be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there on the top of the mountain. 34:3 “And no man shall come up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.” 34:4 So he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Moses rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him; and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone. 34:5 Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 34:7 “keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” 34:8 So Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. 34:9 Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.” 34:10 And He said: “Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you. 34:11 “Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 34:12 “Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. 34:13 “But you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images 34:14 ‘(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), 34:15 “lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice, 34:16 “and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods. 34:17 “You shall make no molded gods for yourselves. 34:18 “The Feast of Unleavened Bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt. 34:19 “All that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep. 34:20 “But the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. 34:21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest. 34:22 “And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end. 34:23 “Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel. 34:24 “For I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year. 34:25 “You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning. 34:26 “The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.” 34:27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 34:28 So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. 34:29 Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him. 34:30 So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. 34:31 Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them. 34:32 Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them as commandments all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. 34:33 And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. 34:34 But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded. 34:35 And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.
Exodus Chapter 35 35:1 Then Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, “These are the words which the Lord has commanded you to do: 35:2 “Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. 35:3 “You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.” 35:4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying: 35:5 ‘Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze; 35:6 ‘blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair; 35:7 ‘ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; 35:8 ‘oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 35:9 ‘onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. 35:10 ‘All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 35:11 ‘the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 35:12 ‘the ark and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering; 35:13 ‘the table and its poles, all its utensils, and the showbread; 35:14 ‘also the lampstand for the light, its utensils, its lamps, and the oil for the light; 35:15 ‘the incense altar, its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the screen for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; 35:16 ‘the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, all its utensils, and the laver and its base; 35:17 ‘the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court; 35:18 ‘the pegs of the tabernacle, the pegs of the court, and their cords; 35:19 ‘the garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place-the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.'” 35:20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 35:21 Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments. 35:22 They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the Lord. 35:23 And every man, with whom was found blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair, red skins of rams, and badger skins, brought them. 35:24 Everyone who offered an offering of silver or bronze brought the Lord’s offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. 35:25 All the women who were gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue , purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. 35:26 And all the women whose heart stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair. 35:27 The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate, 35:28 and spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 35:29 The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done. 35:30 And Moses said to the children of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 35:31 “and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, 35:32 “to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 35:33 “in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship. 35:34 “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35:35 “He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver-those who do every work and those who design artistic works.

Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 31:15 ‘Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 31:16 ‘Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 31:17 ‘It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.'” 31:18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus Chapter 32 32:1 Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” 32:2 And Aaron said to them, “Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 32:3 “So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 32:4 And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they said, “This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt” 32:5 So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord.” 32:6 Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 32:7 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go, get down For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. 32:8 “They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, ‘This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt'” 32:9 And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people 32:10 “Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them. And I will make of you a great nation.” 32:11 Then Moses pleaded with the Lord his God, and said: “Lord, why does Your wrath burn hot against Your people whom You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 32:12 “Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to Your people. 32:13 “Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'” 32:14 So the Lord relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people. 32:15 And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony were in his hand. The tablets were written on both sides; on the one side and on the other they were written. 32:16 Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets. 32:17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.” 32:18 But he said: “It is not the noise of the shout of victory, Nor the noise of the cry of defeat, But the sound of singing I hear.” 32:19 So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses’ anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. 32:20 Then he took the calf which they had made, burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder; and he scattered it on the water and made the children of Israel drink it. 32:21 And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?” 32:22 So Aaron said, “Do not let the anger of my lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil. 32:23 “For they said to me, ‘Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 32:24 “And I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.” 32:25 Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies), 32:26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the Lord’s side-come to me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 32:27 And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'” 32:28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day. 32:29 Then Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.” 32:30 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.” 32:31 Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold 32:32 “Yet now, if You will forgive their sin-but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written.” 32:33 And the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. 32:34 “Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin.” 32:35 So the Lord plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made.
Exodus Chapter 33 33:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Depart and go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’ 33:2 “And I will send My Angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 33:3 “Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people.” 33:4 And when the people heard this bad news, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments. 33:5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you.'” 33:6 So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb. 33:7 Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the tabernacle of meeting. And it came to pass that everyone who sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting which was outside the camp. 33:8 So it was, whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle. 33:9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. 33:10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and worshiped, each man in his tent door. 33:11 So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle. 33:12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 33:13 “Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. 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 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 33:16 “For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 33:17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” 33:18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” 33:19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 33:20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.” 33:21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 33:22 “So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 33:23 “Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.”

For it is a heave offering; it shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, that is, their heave offering to the Lord. 29:29 “And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them. 29:30 “That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for seven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place. 29:31 “And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil its flesh in the holy place. 29:32 “Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 29:33 “They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; but an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy. 29:34 “And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire.

Exodus Chapter 30 30:1 “You shall make an altar to burn incense on; you shall make it of acacia wood. 30:2 “A cubit shall be its length and a cubit its width-it shall be square-and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. 30:3 “And you shall overlay its top, its sides all around, and its horns with pure gold; and you shall make for it a molding of gold all around. 30:4 “Two gold rings you shall make for it, under the molding on both its sides. You shall place them on its two sides, and they will be holders for the poles with which to bear it. 30:5 “You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 30:6 “And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony, where I will meet with you. 30:7 “Aaron shall burn on it sweet incense every morning; when he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it. 30:8 “And when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. 30:9 “You shall not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering; nor shall you pour a drink offering on it. 30:10 “And Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement; once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.” 30:11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 30:12 “When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord, when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when you number them. 30:13 “This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs). The half-shekel shall be an offering to the Lord. 30:14 “Everyone included among those who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord. 30:15 “The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an offering to the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves. 30:16 “And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.” 30:17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 30:18 “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, 30:19 “for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. 30:20 “When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. 30:21 “So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them-to him and his descendants throughout their generations.” 30:22 Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 30:23 “Also take for yourself quality spices-five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane, 30:24 “five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. 30:25 “And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil. 30:26 “With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony; 30:27 “the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense; 30:28 “the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base. 30:29 “You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy. 30:30 “And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests. 30:31 “And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 30:32 ‘It shall not be poured on man’s flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 30:33 ‘Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on an outsider, shall be cut off from his people.'” 30:34 And the Lord said to Moses: “Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each. 30:35 “You shall make of these an incense, a compound according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 30:36 “And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you. 30:37 “But as for the incense which you shall make, you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord. 30:38 “Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
