And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah My Banner.

When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, that Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt,

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he camped at the mount of God.

And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down to him, and kissed him. And they asked each other of their welfare. And they came into the tent.

And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Jehovah had done to Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. And Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

And on the next day it happened that Moses sat to judge the people. And the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening.

And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing which you do to the people? Why do you sit alone by yourself, and all the people stand by you from morning to evening?

You will surely wear away, both you and this people that is with you. For this thing is too heavy for you; you are not able to perform it alone.

And you shall look out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain. And place such over them to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

And let them judge the people at all times. And it shall be, every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge. And make it easier for yourself, and they shall bear with you.

And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

And they judged the people at all times. The hard causes they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

In the third month when the sons of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on this day they came to the wilderness of Sinai.

And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, You shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the sons of Israel:

You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.

And you shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves. Do not go up into the mountain, or touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

There shall not be a hand to touch it, but that he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether beast or man, it shall not live. When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.

And it happened on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain. And the voice of the trumpet was exceedingly loud, so that all the people in the camp trembled.

And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God. And they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

And Mount Sinai was smoking, all of it, because Jehovah came down upon it in fire. And the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai. For You commanded us, saying, Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.

I am Jehovah your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and sanctified it.

You shall make an altar of earth to Me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In all places where I record My name I will come to you, and I will bless you.

And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stone. For if you lift up your tool upon it, you have defiled it.

And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness be not uncovered on it.

If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years. And in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he was married, then his wife shall go out with him.

If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons. I do not want to go out free

And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

And if he does not do these three to her, then she shall go out free without money.

And if a man does not lie in wait, but God delivers him into his hand, then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

If men strive and strike a pregnant woman, so that her child comes out, and there is no injury, he shall surely be punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him. And he shall pay as the judges say

And if a man strike the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, so that it perishes, he shall let him go free on account of his eye.

And if he strikes out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth, he shall let him go free on account of his tooth.

Whether he has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass falls in it,

the owner of the pit shall make it good and give silver to its owner. And the dead shall be his.

And in the event the ox of a man damages the ox of a neighbor, so that it dies, then they shall sell the living ox, and they shall divide the money of it. And they shall also divide the dead ox.

Or if it is known that the ox has been apt to gore in time past, and his owner has not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox. And the dead shall be his own.

If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

If the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether it is an ox, or an ass, or a sheep, he shall restore double.

If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that the stacks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field, is burned up, he who kindled the fire shall surely repay in full.

If a man shall deliver to his neighbor silver or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, let him pay double.

If a man delivers to his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, or is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing,

an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods. And the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make it good.

And if it is stolen from him, he shall fully repay the owner of it.

If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

And if a man borrows from his neighbor, and it is hurt, or dies, and the owner of it not with it, he shall surely make it good.

If the owner of it is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is hired, it came for its hire.

One sacrificing to a god, except it is to Jehovah only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry.

If you at all take your neighbor's clothing as a pledge, you shall deliver it to him by the time the sun goes down.

For that is his covering only, it is his clothing for his skin. In what shall he sleep? And it will be, when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious.

Likewise you shall do with your oxen and with your sheep; it shall be with its dam seven days. On the eighth day you shall give it to Me.

And you shall be holy men to Me. Neither shall you eat flesh torn by beasts in the field. You shall throw it to the dogs.

If you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

And you shall sow your land six years, and shall gather in the fruits of it.

But the seventh year you shall let it rest and let it alone, so that the poor of your people may eat. And what they leave, the animals of the field shall eat. In the same way you shall deal with your vineyard and with your oliveyard.

And be watchful in all that I have said to you. And make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth.

You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And no one shall appear before Me empty.

Also the Feast of Harvest, the first-fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field. Also the Feast of Ingathering, in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.

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

I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become a waste, and the beast of the field multiply against you.

By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and inherit the land.

And I will stretch your bounds from the Red Sea even to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

They shall not dwell in your land lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it surely will be a snare to you.

And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words.

And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as the essence of the heavens for clearness.

And upon the nobles of the sons of Israel He did not lay his hands. Also they saw God, and ate and drank.

And the glory of Jehovah abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring Me an offering. You shall take an offering from every man that gives it willingly with his heart.

and rams' skins dyed red, and dugong skins, and acacia-wood,

According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments of it, even so you shall make it.

And they shall make an ark of acacia-wood. Two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high.

And you shall overlay it with pure gold. You shall overlay it inside and out, and shall make on it a crown of gold all around.

And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and shall put it on its four feet. And two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.

And you shall make staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.

And the staves shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it.

And you shall make a mercy-seat of pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it.

And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end. From the mercy-seat you shall make the cherubs, on the two ends of it.

You shall also make a table of acacia-wood, its length two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its height a cubit and a half.

And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make to this a crown of gold all around.

And you shall make to it a border of a hand's breadth round about. And you shall make a golden crown to the border of it, all around.

And you shall make the staves of acacia-wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.

And you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand shall be made of beaten work; its shaft, and its branches, its cups, its knobs, and its blossoms, shall be from it.

And six branches shall come out of the sides of it-- three branches of the lampstand out of the one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.

Three almond-like cups on the one branch, with knob and blossom; and three almond-like cups on the one branch, with knob and blossom, so for the six branches, those going out of the lampstand.

and a knob under two branches of it, and a knob under two branches of it, and a knob under two branches of it, according to the six branches, those going out of the lampstand.

Their knobs and their branches shall be of it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

And the tongs of it, and its pans shall be of pure gold.

One shall make it of a talent of pure gold, with all these vessels.
