"Whoever kidnaps a person, whether he has sold him or whether the victim is still in his possession, is certainly to be put to death.

If, in a fight, one man gives another a blow with a stone, or with the shut hand, not causing his death, but making him keep in bed;

and the injured person then gets up and walks around outside with the help of his staff, the one who struck him is not liable, except that he is to compensate him for his loss of time and take care of his complete recovery.

"If two men are fighting and they strike a pregnant woman and her children are born prematurely, but there is no harm, he is certainly to be fined as the husband of the woman demands of him, and he will pay as the court decides.

"If a man strikes the eye of his male or female servant and destroys it, he is to release him as a free man in exchange for his eye.

If he knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant, he is to release him as a free man in exchange for his tooth.

But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

If a fine is imposed on him, he may pay all that was imposed on him as a ransom for his life.

If it gores a son or it gores a daughter, according to this regulation it shall be done to him.

the owner of the pit will pay restitution; he will pay silver to its owner, but the dead [animal] will be for him.

Or if it was known that it was a goring ox {before} and its owner did not restrain it, he will surely make restitution, an ox in place of the ox, and the dead [one] will be for him.

" 'If a thief is found in the act of breaking in and he is struck and he dies, there is not bloodguilt for him.

but if the sun has risen on him, then it is a capital crime in that case. A thief shall certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he is to be sold for his theft.

If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;

“If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep for him, and it dies or is hurt or is driven away while no one is looking,

then an oath before the Lord shall be made by the two of them that he has not taken his neighbor’s property; and the owner of it shall accept his word and not require him to make restitution.

But if it was actually stolen from him, the neighbor is to make restitution to its owner.

If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it as witness: he shall not make good what was torn.

If a man shall seduce a virgin who was not betrothed, and lying with her, endowing, he shall endow her to him for a wife.

If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he is to pay an amount equal to the bride price for virgins.

" 'Whoever sacrifices to the gods--not to Yahweh, to him alone--will be destroyed.

" 'You will not mistreat an alien, and you will not oppress him, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

If you indeed afflict him, yes, if he cries out at all to me, I will certainly hear his cry of distress.

" 'If you lend money [to] my people, [to] the needy with you, you will not be to him as a creditor; you will not {charge him interest}.

If you take your neighbor's coat as collateral, you are to return it to him by sunset,

for it's his only covering; it's his outer garment, for what else can he sleep in? And when he cries out to me, I'll hear him, for I am gracious.

"If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, you are to certainly return it to him.

If you see your enemy's donkey lying helpless under its load, you must not abandon it; rather, you are certainly to return it to him.

Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.

Be attentive to him and listen to his voice; do not rebel against him, because he will not forgive your transgression, for my name is in him

Indeed, if you carefully obey him and do everything that I say, then I'll be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries,

And Moses {alone} will come near to Yahweh, and they will not come near, and the people will not go up with him."

God did not harm the Israelite nobles; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.

He told the elders, "Wait here for us until we return to you. Look, Aaron and Hur are with you, and whoever has a dispute, let him come to them."

And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

"Speak to the {Israelites}, and let them bring to me a contribution. You will receive my contribution from every man whose heart prompts him.

"And bring near to you Aaron, your brother, and his sons with him from the midst of the {Israelites} to serve as priests for me--Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron.

You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make Aaron’s garments for consecrating him to serve Me as priest.

The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

And it shall be upon Aaron, for ministering, - so shall be heard the sound of him - when he goeth into the holy place, before Yahweh, and cometh out, and dieth not.

And you will clothe them--Aaron, your brother, and his sons with him--and you will anoint them and {ordain them} and consecrate them, and they will serve as priests for me.

These must be worn by Aaron and his sons whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary area, so that they do not incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and for his future descendants.

Then take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe for the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece; fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.

Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.

and kill him before the LORD in the door of the tabernacle of witness.

and cause him to be slain, and take of his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar,

And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.

And take the other ram and let Aaron and his sons put their hands upon his head and let him then be killed.

And you will take [some] of the blood that is on the altar and [some] of the anointing oil, and you will spatter [it] on Aaron and on his garments and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him, and he will be sacred, and his garments and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

“The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.

Any priest who is one of his sons and who succeeds him and enters the tent of meeting to minister in the sanctuary must wear them for seven days.

And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of him, and the bread that is in the basket: even in the door of the tabernacle of witness.

And they will wash their hands and their feet so that they do not die, and it will be a lasting rule for them--to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.

I have filled him with God’s Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in every craft

I have also selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be with him. I have placed wisdom within every skilled craftsman in order to make all that I have commanded you:

When He finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God.

When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us a god who will go before us because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!”

All the people tore off the gold rings that were in their ears and brought them to him.

He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, "These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."

They said to me, ‘Make us a god who will go before us because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’

Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.

And Moses stood at the camp’s entrance and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I will blot him from my scroll.

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

“If Your presence does not go,” Moses responded to Him, “don’t make us go up from here.

and He saith, 'I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.'

Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones. He got up early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hand, he climbed Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had commanded him.

The Lord came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name Yahweh.

Then the Lord passed in front of him and proclaimed:

Yahweh—Yahweh is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth,

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

{And} when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony [were] in the hand of Moses at his coming down from the mountain; and Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with him.

When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face shone! They were afraid to come near him.

But Moses called out to them, so Aaron and all the leaders of the community returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he commanded them to do everything the Lord had told him on Mount Sinai.

But whenever Moses went before the Lord to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. After he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,

And the {Israelites} would see the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses shone, and Moses would put back the veil on his face until his coming to speak with him.

'Take from among you a contribution for Yahweh, anyone willing of heart, let him bring Yahweh's contribution--gold and silver and bronze,

Everyone whose heart was moved and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.

He has filled him with God’s Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in every kind of craft

He has also given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.

So Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person in whose heart the Lord had placed wisdom, everyone whose heart moved him, to come to the work and do it.

And they took from Moses all the contributions that the {Israelites} had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings {every morning}.

With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a gem cutter, a designer, and an embroiderer with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

And you will clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and you will anoint him, and you will consecrate him, and he will serve as a priest for me.

And anoint him and sanctify him that he may minister unto me,

And Moses did according to all that Yahweh had commanded him; so he did.

He spread the tent over the tent and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the LORD had commanded him.

He brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the veil for the screen, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord had commanded him.

He arranged the bread on it before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded him.

and set up the lamps before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded him.

and burned fragrant incense on it, just as the Lord had commanded him.

Then he placed the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered the burnt offering and the grain offering on it, just as the Lord had commanded him.

When they entered the Tent of Meeting and approached the altar, they washed, just as the LORD had commanded him.
