Take the first-fruits of your land as an offering to the house of the Lord your God. Let not the young goat be cooked in its mother's milk

And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.

No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.

They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.

And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.

And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

To them he has given knowledge of all the arts of the handworker, of the designer, and the expert workman; of the maker of needlework in blue and purple and red and the best linen, and of the maker of cloth; in all the arts of the designer and the trained workman they are expert.

Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;

And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.

So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.

And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made.

Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group.

The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.

These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles.

So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.

All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.

Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.

And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.

Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:

The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.

The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.

Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were brass; and the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

The hangings on one side of the doorway were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases;

And the same on the other side of the doorway; on this side and on that the hangings were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases.

All the hangings were of the best linen.

And the bases of the pillars were of brass; their hooks and the bands round the tops of them were of silver; all the pillars were ringed with silver.

There were four pillars with their bases, all of brass, the hooks being of silver, and their tops and their bands being covered with silver.

All the nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.

Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

And the silver given by those who were numbered of the people was a hundred talents, and a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

A beka, that is, half a shekel by the holy scale, for everyone who was numbered; there were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men of twenty years old and over.

In the fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they were fixed in twisted frames of gold.

There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.

And the other two ends of the chains were joined to the two frames and fixed to the front of the ephod over the arm-holes.

And two other gold rings were put on the front of the ephod, over the arm-holes, at the join, and over the worked band.

And the rings on the bag were fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord, keeping it in place over the band, so that the bag might not get loose, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.

All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.

The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.

You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.

So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,
