The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring into the house of LORD thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

Behold, I send a [heavenly] agent before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Take ye heed before him, and hearken to his voice, provoke him not. For he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.

But if thou shall indeed hearken to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.

For my [heavenly] agent shall go before thee, and bring thee in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I will cut them off.

Thou shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works, but thou shall utterly overthrow them, and break their pillars in pieces.

And ye shall serve LORD your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

I will send my terror before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shall come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs to thee.

And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.

Little by little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shall drive them out before thee.

And he said to Moses, Come up to LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship ye afar off.

And Moses alone shall come near to LORD, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.

And Moses came and told the people all the words of LORD, and all the ordinances. And all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which LORD has spoken will we do.

And Moses wrote all the words of LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar below the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen to LORD.

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

And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people. And they said, All that LORD has spoken will we do, and be obedient.

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

Then Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

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

And he laid not his hand upon the nobles of the sons of Israel. And they beheld God, and ate and drank.

And LORD said to Moses, Come up to me onto the mount, and be there, and I will give thee the tablets of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou may teach them.

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister, and Moses went up onto the mount of God.

And he said to the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again to you. And, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a case, let him come near to them.

And Moses went up onto the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.

And the glory of LORD 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.

And the appearance of the glory of LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel.

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up onto the mount. And Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights.

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,

and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair],

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

oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy-seat ye shall make the cherubim on the two ends of it.

And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy-seat.

And thou shall put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. And in the ark thou shall put the testimony that I shall give thee.

And there I will meet with thee. And I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the sons of Isra

and in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it, and the flowers of it.

And a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick.

Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.

And thou shall make the lamps of it, seven. And they shall light the lamps of it, to give light opposite it.

And the snuffers of it, and the snuff dishes of it, shall be of pure gold.

And see that thou make [them] according to their pattern that has been shown thee on the mountain.
