{And} at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people would rise and stand, each at the opening of his tent, and gaze after Moses until his entering the tent.

{And} at the entering of Moses [into] the tent the column of cloud would descend and stand [at] the opening of the tent, and he would speak with Moses.

And all the people would see the column of cloud standing [at] the opening of the tent, and all the people would rise and bow in worship, each [at] the opening of his tent.

And Yahweh would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his neighbor. And he would return to the camp, and his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the middle of the tent.

And Moses said to Yahweh, "See, you [are] saying to me, 'Take this people up.' But you have not let me know whom you will send with me, and you yourself have said, 'I know you by name, and you also have found favor in my eyes.'

And now if I have found favor in your eyes, make known [to] me, please, your way, and so I may know you so that I can find favor in your eyes. And see that this nation is your people."

And he said, "My presence will go, and I will give you rest."

And he said to him, "If your presence [is] not going, do not bring us up from here.

And by what will it be known then that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us? And [so] we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground."

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Also I will do this thing that you have spoken, because you have found favor in my eyes and I have known you by name."

And he said, "Please show me your glory."

And he said, "I myself will cause all my goodness to pass over before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you, and I will be gracious [to] whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion [to] whom I will show compassion."

But he said, "You are not able to see my face, because human will not see me and live."

And Yahweh said, "There is a place with me, and you will stand on the rock.

{And} when my glory passes over, I will put you in the rock's crevice, and I will cover you [with] my hand until I pass over.

And I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be visible."

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Cut for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to Mount Sinai and present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain.

And no one will go up with you, and neither let anyone be seen on all the mountain, nor let the sheep and goats and the cattle graze {opposite} that mountain."

And Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and he started early in the morning, and he went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and he took in his hand the two stone tablets.

And Yahweh descended in the cloud, and he stood with him there, and he proclaimed the name of Yahweh.

And Yahweh passed over before him, and he proclaimed, "Yahweh, Yahweh, God, [who is] compassionate and gracious, {slow to anger}, and abounding with loyal love and faithfulness,

keeping loyal love to the thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and he does not leave utterly unpunished, punishing [the] guilt of fathers on sons and on sons of sons on third and fourth [generations]."

And Moses hurried and knelt down to the earth and worshiped.

And he said, "Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, Lord, let my Lord, please, go among us--indeed it is a stiff-necked people--and forgive our iniquity and our sin and {take us as your possession}."

And he said, "Look, I [am about to] make a covenant. In front of all your people I will do wonders that have not been created on all the earth and among all the nations, and all the people among whom you [are] will see Yahweh's work, because what I [am about to] do with you [will be] awesome.

"Keep for yourself what I myself have commanded you today. Look, I [am about to] drive from before you the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

Rather, you will tear down their altars, and you will break their stone pillars, and you will cut off their Asherah poles.

lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they prostitute [themselves] after their gods, and they sacrifice to their gods, and they invite you, and you eat their sacrifice,

and you take from their daughters for your sons, and their daughters prostitute [themselves] after their gods, and they cause your sons to prostitute [themselves] after their gods.

Every first offspring of a womb [is] for me--all of your male livestock, [the] first offspring of cattle and small livestock.

But the first offspring of a donkey you will redeem with small livestock, and if you will not redeem [it], you will break its neck. Every firstborn of your sons you will redeem, and you will not appear before me empty-handed.

Six days you will work, and on the seventh day you will rest; in the [time of] plowing and in the [time of] harvest you will rest.

And {you yourself} will observe the Feast of Weeks--the firstfruits of the wheat harvest--and the Feast of Harvest Gathering at the turn of the year.

because I will evict nations before you, and I will enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh your God three times in the year.

"You will not slaughter the blood of my sacrifice on [food with] yeast, and the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover will not stay overnight to the morning.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Write for yourself these words, because {according to} these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."

And he was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights. He ate no food and drank no water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.

{And} when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony [were] in the hand of Moses at his coming down from the mountain; and Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with him.

And Aaron and all the {Israelites} saw Moses, and, {to their amazement}, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid of coming near to him.

And Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the community returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

And afterward all the {Israelites} came near, and he commanded them all that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

And Moses finished speaking with them, and he put a veil on his face.

And when Moses came before Yahweh to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he went out, and he would go out and would speak to the {Israelites} what he had been commanded.

And the {Israelites} would see the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses shone, and Moses would put back the veil on his face until his coming to speak with him.

And Moses assembled all the community of the {Israelites}, and he said to them, "These are the words that Yahweh has commanded [for us] to do them.

[On] six days work can be done, and on the seventh there will be for you a holy [day], a {Sabbath of complete rest}, for Yahweh; anyone doing work on it will be put to death.

And Moses said to all the community of the {Israelites}, saying, "This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying,

'Take from among you a contribution for Yahweh, anyone willing of heart, let him bring Yahweh's contribution--gold and silver and bronze,

and blue and purple and crimson [yarns], and fine linen and goat hair,

and red-dyed ram skins, and fine leather, and acacia wood,

and oil for the lamp, balsam oils for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

onyx stones and stones for mountings on the ephod and the breast piece.

"And let all [the] skilled of heart among you come and make all that Yahweh has commanded:

The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering; its clasps and its frames; its bars, its pillars, and its bases;

the ark and its poles; the atonement cover and the curtain of the screen;

the table and its poles and all its equipment; and the bread of the presence;

and lampstand of the light and its equipment and its lamps and the oil for the light;

and the altar of incense and its poles; and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense and the entrance curtain for the entrance of the tabernacle;

the altar of the burnt offering and the bronze grating that [is] for it, its poles and all its equipment; the basin and its stand;

the hangings of the courtyard, its pillars, and its bases, and the screen for the courtyard gate;

the {pegs} of the tabernacle and the {pegs} of the courtyard and their cords;

the woven garments for serving in the sanctuary--the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to serve as priests."

And all the community of the {Israelites} went out from before Moses.

And they came--every man whose heart lifted him and every man whose spirit impelled him--they brought Yahweh's contribution for the work of the tent of assembly and for all its service and for the holy garments.

And they came, the men in addition to the women, all [who were] willing of heart; they brought brooches and jewelry rings and signet rings and ornaments--every [variety] of gold object--every man who waved a wave offering of gold for Yahweh,

and every man with whom was found blue and purple and crimson [yarns] and fine linen and goat hair and red-dyed ram skins and fine leather brought [it].

All [who were] presenting a contribution of silver and bronze brought Yahweh's contribution, and all with whom was found acacia wood for all the work of service brought [it].

And every woman [who was] skilled of heart with her hands they spun, and they brought yarn--the blue and the purple, the crimson and the fine linen.

And all the women whose heart lifted them with skill spun the goat hair.

And the leaders brought the onyx stones and stones for mountings for the ephod and for the breast piece

and the balsam oils and the oil for light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.

Every man and woman whose heart impelled them to bring for all the work to be done that Yahweh had commanded {by the agency of} Moses--the {Israelites} brought freely to Yahweh.

And Moses said to the {Israelites}, "See, Yahweh has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.

And he has filled him [with] the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with skill and with knowledge and with every [kind of] craftsmanship,

and to devise designs, to work with the gold and with the silver and with the bronze,

and in stonecutting for setting and in cutting wood, for doing every [kind of] design craftsmanship.

And he has put [it] in his heart to teach--he and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan.

He has filled them [with] skill of heart to do every work of a craftsman and a designer and an embroiderer with the blue and with the purple, with the crimson [yarns] and with the fine linen and a weaver; [they are] doers of every [kind of] craftsmanship and devisers of designs.

And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone [who is] skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary--[they] will do [it], according to all that Yahweh has commanded."

And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it.

And they took from Moses all the contributions that the {Israelites} had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings {every morning}.

And all the skilled [workers who were] doing all the work for the sanctuary came, {each} from his work that they were doing.

And they said to Moses, saying, "The people are {bringing more} than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded {to be done}."

And Moses commanded, and they {proclaimed the message} in the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution." And so the people were restrained from bringing.

And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.

And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle [with] ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson [yarns], [with] cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman.

The length of the one curtain [was] twenty-eight cubits, and the width [was] four cubits [for] the one curtain; one measurement [was] for all the curtains.

And he joined five of the curtains {one to another}, and five curtains he joined {one to another}.

And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; so he did on the edge of the end curtain in the second set.

He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain that [was] in the second set; the loops were opposite {one to another}.

And he made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains {one to another} with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was one.

And he made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made them eleven curtains.

The length of the one curtain [was] thirty cubits, and the width [was] four cubits [for] the one curtain; one measure [was] for [the] eleven curtains.

And he joined five curtains together and six curtains together.

And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain [in] the second set.

And he made fifty bronze clasps for joining the tent to become one.

And he made a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skin and a covering of fine leather [to go] above.

And he made the frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood [as] uprights.

The length of the frame [was] ten cubits, and the width of the one frame [was] one and a half cubits.
