For the west side there were hangings seventy-five feet long, with their ten posts and their ten bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.

with hangings on one side of the gate that were twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three posts and their three bases,

and for the second side of the gate of the courtyard, just like the other, the hangings were twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three posts and their three bases.

The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver, their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

The curtain for the gate of the courtyard was of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer. It was thirty feet long, and like the hangings in the courtyard, it was seven and a half feet high,

with four posts and their four bronze bases. Their hooks and their bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver.

All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were bronze.

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

All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary (namely, the gold of the wave offering) was twenty-nine talents and 730 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

The silver of those who were numbered of the community was one hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel,

The one hundred talents of silver were used for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the special curtain -- one hundred bases for one hundred talents, one talent per base.

From the remaining 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and made bands for them.

The bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.

With it he made the bases for the door of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, and all the utensils of the altar,

the bases for the courtyard all around, the bases for the gate of the courtyard, all the tent pegs of the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs of the courtyard all around.

From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for serving in the sanctuary; they made holy garments that were for Aaron, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weave them into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into the fine linen, the work of an artistic designer.

The artistically woven waistband of the ephod that was on it was like it, of one piece with it, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

He made the breastpiece, the work of an artistic designer, in the same fashion as the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

It was square -- they made the breastpiece doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide when doubled.

They set on it four rows of stones: a row with a ruby, a topaz, and a beryl -- the first row;

and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold filigree settings.

and they made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and they attached the two rings to the upper two ends of the breastpiece.

the other two ends of the two chains they attached to the two settings, and they attached them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.

They made two rings of gold and put them on the other two ends of the breastpiece on its edge, which is on the inner side of the ephod.

They made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the juncture above the waistband of the ephod.

They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and twisted linen around the hem of the robe.

They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates.

There was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

They made tunics of fine linen -- the work of a weaver, for Aaron and for his sons --

and the turban of fine linen, the headbands of fine linen, and the undergarments of fine twisted linen.

The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

They made a plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription, as on the engravings of a seal, "Holiness to the Lord."

So all the work of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed, and the Israelites did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses -- they did it exactly so.

They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings, clasps, frames, bars, posts, and bases;

and the coverings of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the protecting curtain;

the ark of the testimony and its poles, and the atonement lid;

the table, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

the pure lampstand, its lamps, with the lamps set in order, and all its accessories, and oil for the light;

and the gold altar, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the large basin with its pedestal;

the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway of the courtyard, its ropes and its tent pegs, and all the furnishings for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

the woven garments for serving in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.

Moses inspected all the work -- and they had done it just as the Lord had commanded -- they had done it exactly -- and Moses blessed them.

You are to place the ark of the testimony in it and shield the ark with the special curtain.

You are to bring in the table and set out the things that belong on it; then you are to bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

You are to put the gold altar for incense in front of the ark of the testimony and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

You are to put the large basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it.

You are to set up the courtyard around it and put the curtain at the gate of the courtyard.

And take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and sanctify it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy.

Then you are to anoint the altar for the burnt offering with all its utensils; you are to sanctify the altar, and it will be the most holy altar.

You must also anoint the large basin and its pedestal, and you are to sanctify it.

"You are to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

Then you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments and anoint him and sanctify him so that he may minister as my priest.

You are to bring his sons and clothe them with tunics

and anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may minister as my priests; their anointing will make them a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations."

When Moses set up the tabernacle and put its bases in place, he set up its frames, attached its bars, and set up its posts.

Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

He took the testimony and put it in the ark, attached the poles to the ark, and then put the atonement lid on the ark.

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, hung the protecting curtain, and shielded the ark of the testimony from view, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain.

And he set the bread in order on it before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

And he put the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain,

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

He also put the altar for the burnt offering by the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then he put the large basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

Moses and Aaron and his sons would wash their hands and their feet from it.

Whenever they entered the tent of meeting, and whenever they approached the altar, they would wash, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and put the curtain at the gate of the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

Then the Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the Meeting Tent:

"Speak to the Israelites and tell them, 'When someone among you presents an offering to the Lord, you must present your offering from the domesticated animals, either from the herd or from the flock.

He must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.

Then the one presenting the offering must slaughter the bull before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, must present the blood and splash the blood against the sides of the altar which is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.

Next, the one presenting the offering must skin the burnt offering and cut it into parts,

and the sons of Aaron, the priest, must put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

Then the sons of Aaron, the priests, must arrange the parts with the head and the suet on the wood that is in the fire on the altar.

Finally, the one presenting the offering must wash its entrails and its legs in water and the priest must offer all of it up in smoke on the altar -- it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

and must slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, will splash its blood against the altar's sides.

Next, the one presenting the offering must cut it into parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest must arrange them on the wood which is in the fire, on the altar.

Then the one presenting the offering must wash the entrails and the legs in water, and the priest must present all of it and offer it up in smoke on the altar -- it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

The priest must present it at the altar, pinch off its head and offer the head up in smoke on the altar, and its blood must be drained out against the side of the altar.

Then the priest must remove its entrails by cutting off its tail feathers, and throw them to the east side of the altar into the place of fatty ashes,

and tear it open by its wings without dividing it into two parts. Finally, the priest must offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is in the fire -- it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

"'When a person presents a grain offering to the Lord, his offering must consist of choice wheat flour, and he must pour olive oil on it and put frankincense on it.

Then he must bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and the priest must scoop out from there a handful of its choice wheat flour and some of its olive oil in addition to all of its frankincense, and the priest must offer its memorial portion up in smoke on the altar -- it is a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to his sons -- it is most holy from the gifts of the Lord.

"'When you present an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must be made of choice wheat flour baked into unleavened loaves mixed with olive oil or unleavened wafers smeared with olive oil.

Crumble it in pieces and pour olive oil on it -- it is a grain offering.

"'You must bring the grain offering that must be made from these to the Lord. Present it to the priest, and he will bring it to the altar.

Then the priest must take up from the grain offering its memorial portion and offer it up in smoke on the altar -- it is a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to his sons -- it is most holy from the gifts of the Lord.

And you must put olive oil on it and set frankincense on it -- it is a grain offering.

He must lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, must splash the blood against the altar's sides.

Then the one presenting the offering must present a gift to the Lord from the peace offering sacrifice: He must remove the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that surrounds the entrails,
