And thou shalt make the court of the habitation, - on the south side southward, hangings for the court of fine-twined linen, a hundred cubits in length to the one side;

All the pillars of the court round about, to be joined with cross-rods of silver, and their hooks of silver, - and their sockets of bronze,

In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is by the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it from evening until morning, before Yahweh, - a statute age-abiding, to their generations, from the sons of Israel.

Thou thyself, therefore, shalt speak unto all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, - and they shall make Aaron's garments, to hallow him for ministering as priest unto me.

Two joining shoulderpieces, shall there be to it upon the two extremities thereof that it may be joined together,

And thou shalt take two onyx stones, - and engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel:

six of their names, on the one stone, - and the names of the six that remain, on the second stone according to their births:

with the work of a stone engraver, like seal-ring engravings, shalt thou engrave the two stones, after the names of the sons of Israel, - to be encircled with settings of gold, shalt thou make them.

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, - so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders, for a memorial.

and two chains of pure gold, like cord, shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the ouches.

And thou shalt make, upon the breastpiece, two rings of gold, - and thou shalt place the two rings, upon the two ends of the breastpiece.

And thou shalt hang the two wreathen chains of gold upon the two rings, - upon the ends of the breastpiece;

and the other two ends of the two wreathen chains, shalt thou fasten upon the two ouches, so shalt thou hang them upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forefront thereof.

And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastpiece upon the border thereof, which is on the side of the ephod inwards.

And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and place them upon the two shoulderpieces of the ephod beneath, on the front of the face thereof, over against its joining, above the curious band of the ephod:

and the opening for his head shall be in the midst thereof, - a border, shall there be to the opening thereof round about the work of a weaver, like the opening of a coat of mail, shall there be to it, it must not be rent.

And thou shalt make a burnished plate, of pure gold, - and shalt engrave thereupon, like the engravings of a seal-ring, Holiness to Yahweh.

And thou shalt make for them breeches of linen, to cover their unseemliness, from the loins even unto the thighs, shall they be;

so shall they be upon Aaron and upon his sons, when they go into the tent of meeting, or when they approach unto the altar, to minister in the holy place, lest they bear iniquity, and die, - a statute age-abiding, to him and to his seed after him.

And, his, is the thing which thou shalt do to them to hallow them, that they may minister as priests unto me, - Take one young bullock and two rams without defect;

and thou shalt place them in one basket, and bring them near in the basket, - and the bullock, and the two rams.

and thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inner part, and the caul upon the liver, and the two kidneys, with the fat which is upon them, and burn as incense on the altar:

and shalt burn the whole ram as incense on the altar, an ascending-sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, - a satisfying odour, an altar-flame to Yahweh, it is.

then shalt thou slay the ram, and take of its blood, and place upon the tip of the ear of Aaron and upon the tip of the ear of his sons - the right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, - and shalt dash the blood upon the altar round about.

Then shalt thou take from the ram - the fat and the fat-tail and the fat that covereth the inner part and the caul of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, - for, a ram of installation, it is, -

and shalt lay the whole upon the trends of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, - then shalt thou wave them to and fro as a wave-offering, before Yahweh;

and shalt take them from their hand, and burn them as incense on the altar upon the ascending-sacrifice, - as a satisfying odour, before Yahweh, an altar-flame, it is to Yahweh.

And thou shalt hallow the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering, which is waved to and fro, and which is heaved up, from the ram of installation, from that which is for Aaron, and from that which is for his sons;

so shall it belong to Aaron and to his sons for an age-abiding statute from the sons of Israel, for a heave-offering, it is, - and, a heave-offering, shall it remain, from the sons of Israel out of their peace-offerings, their heave-offering to Yahweh.

And, the holy garments which belong to Aaron, shall belong to his sons, after him,-to be anointed therein, and to he installed therein,

Seven days, shall they be put on by him from among his sons who is priest in his stead, - by him who goeth into the tent of meeting, to minister in the holy place.

thus shall they eat those things wherewith a propitiatory-covering hath been made, to install them, to hallow them, but, a stranger, shall not eat, for holy, they are.

So then thou shalt do for Aaron and for his sons, in this manner, according to all which I have commanded, thee, - seven days, shalt thou install them.

And a sin-bearing bullock, shalt thou offer daily, for them who are to be covered by propitiation, and shalt make a sin-cleansing for the altar, when thou puttest a propitiatory-covering thereon, - and shalt anoint it to hallow it.

This, moreover, is what thou shalt offer upon the altar, two lambs of a year old day by day, continually:

And the second lamb, shalt thou offer between the evenings,-according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, shalt thou offer with it, for a satisfying odour, an altar-flame, to Yahweh:

a continual ascending-sacrifice to your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, where will meet with you, to speak unto thee there.

Thus will I hallow the tent of meeting, and the altar, - and, Aaron and his sons, will I hallow, to minister as priests unto me.

a cubit, the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof four square, shall it be, - and two cubits, the height thereof, of the same, shall be the horns thereof,

And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof,-and thou shalt make to it a border of gold round about.

And, two rings of gold, shalt thou make to it, under the border thereof upon the two corners thereof, shalt thou make them on the two sides thereof, - so shall they become receptacles for the staves, to lift it therewith.

and, when Aaron lighteth the lamps, between the evenings, shall he burn it, - a continual incense before Yahweh, to your generations.

Ye shall not cause to ascend thereupon strange incense, nor an ascending-sacrifice, nor a meal-offering, - and a drink offering, shall ye not pour out thereupon.

But Aaron shall put a propitiatory-covering upon the horns thereof, once in the year: of the blood of the sin-bearer for propitiatory-coverings, once in the year, shall he put a propitiatory-covering thereupon to your generations, most holy, it is to Yahweh.

When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel, by their numberings, then shall they give every man a propitiatory-covering for his soul to Yahweh, when they are numbered, - that there may be among them no plague when they are numbered.

This, shall they give - every one that passeth over to them that have been numbered - a half-shekel by the shekel of the sanctuary, - the shekel is twenty gerahs - the half-shekel, shalt be a heave-offering to Yahweh.

All who pass over to the numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, shall give the heave-offering of Yahweh.

The rich, shall not give more, and the poor, shall not give less, than the half-shekel, - when they give the heave-offering of Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over your souls.

So then thou shalt take the silver for the propitiatory-coverings from the sons of Israel, and shalt expend it upon the service of the tent of meeting, - thus shall it be for the sons of Israel as a memorial before Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over your souls.

When they enter the tent of meeting, they shall bathe with water so shall they not die, - or when they approach unto the altar to minister, to burn as incense an altar-flame to Yahweh:

so then they shall bathe their hands and their feet and shall not die, - and it shall be to them an age-abiding statute, to him and to his seed to their generations.

Thou, therefore, take to thee - principal spices, - self-flowing myrrh, five hundred, and fragrant cinnamon, half as much, two hundred and fifty, and, fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

Aaron also, and his sons, shalt thou anoint, - so shalt thou hallow them to minister as priests unto me.

And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, An oil for holy anointing, shall this be to me, to your generations.

Upon the flesh of a common man, shall it not be poured, and according to the proportions thereof, shall ye not make any like it, - holy, it is, holy, shall it be to you.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Take to thee aromatic spices stacte and onycha, and galbanum, - aromatic spices, and pure frankincense, - weight for weight, shall it be.

And thou shalt beat some of it to powder, and place thereof before the testimony, in the tong of meeting, where I am to meet with thee, - most holy, shall it be to you.

And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the proportions thereof, ye shall not make for yourselves, - holy, shall it be to thee, to Yahweh.

Whosoever shall make like it, to smell of it shall be cut off from among his people.

to devise skilful designs, to work in gold and in silver, and in bronze;

and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, - to work in all manner of workmanship,

and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place, according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do.

Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow you.

Therefore shall ye keep the sabbath, for holy, it is unto you, he that profaneth it shall be surely put to death; verily whosoever doeth therein any work that souls shall be cut off from the midst of its people:

Six days, shall work be done, but on the seventh day, is a holy sabbath-keeping of rest unto Yahweh, - whosoever doeth work on the sabbath day, shall be, surely put to death.

Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath, - by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding covenant:

between me and the sons of Israel, a sign it is unto times age-abiding, - for in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day, he rested, and was refreshed.

Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, - tables of stone, written with the finger of God,

And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him - Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, A festival to Yahweh, to-morrow!

So they rose up early, on the morrow, and offered ascending-sacrifices, and brought near peace-offerings, and the people sat down, to eat and to drink, and then rose up - to make sport!

Wherefore should the Egyptians speak saying - For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to thy people,

Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, - and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding.

And Moses turned and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, - tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written.

But he said - Not the noise of the cry of heroism, nor yet the noise of the cry of defeat, - the noise of alternate song, do I hear.

And it came to pass when he drew near unto the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancings, that the anger of Moses kindled, and he cast out of his hands the tables, and brake them in pieces at the foot of the mountain.

And Moses said unto Aaron, What had this people done to thee, - that thou shouldst have brought upon them a great sin?

So they said to me - Make for us gods, who shall go before us, - for, as for this, Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

And I said to them - Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, - and I cast it into the fire, and there came out - this calf.

So Moses took his stand in the gate of the camp, and said - Who is for Yahweh? -- To me! Then gathered unto him all the sons of Levi,

And he said to them - Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, - pass through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his neighbour.

So the sons of Levi did, according to the word of Moses, - and there fell from among the people on that day, about three thousand men.

And Moses said - Install yourselves to-day, unto Yahweh, yea every man for his son and for his brother, - so will he bestow upon you to-day, a blessing.

And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, - Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.

Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! a my messenger, shall go before thee, - But, in the day when I do visit, then wilt I visit upon them their sin.

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses - Get thee away, go up from hence, thou, and the people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, - into the land of which I sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed, will I give it;

Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye, are a stiff-necked people, in one moment - if I should go up in thy midst, should I make an end of thee, - Now, therefore lay down thine ornaments from off thee, that I may see what I must do with thee.

And, Moses, proceeded to take a tent, and pitch it by itself outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and he called it, The Tent of Meeting, - and so it came to pass that whosoever was seeking Yahweh went out unto the tent of meeting, which was on the outside of the camp.

And it came about, that, when Moses went out unto the tent, all the people used to rise up, and station themselves every man at the opening of his tent, - and they watched Moses, until he entered the tent.

And it came to pass that when Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the opening of the tent, - and spake with Moses.

Thus Yahweh used to speak unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, - and when he returned unto the camp, his attendant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, moved not from the midst of the tent.

Now, therefore, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let me know, I beseech thee, thy way, that I may acknowledge thee, to the intent I may find favour in thine eyes, - see thou, therefore, that this nation is thine own people.

And he said unto him, If thy presence is not going on, do not take us up from hence.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Even this thing, which thou hast spoken, will I do - For thou hast found favour in mine eyes, And I have acknowledged thee by name.

And he said, - I, will cause all my goodness to pass before thee. And will proclaim myself by the name Yahweh, before thee, And will show favour, unto whom I may show favour, And will have compassion on whom I may have compassion.

And Yahweh said unto Moses - Hew thee two tables of stone, like the first, - and I will write upon the tables the words which were upon the first tables which thou didst break in pieces;

So he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, - and took in his hand two tables of stone.

So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, - Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, - Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:

Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons' sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.

And he said - Lo! I, am about to solemnise a covenant,-in presence of all thy people, will I do marvellous things, which have not been created in any part of the earth nor among any of the nations, - so shall all the people in whose midst thou, art see the work of Yahweh for a fearful thing, it is, which I, am doing with thee.
