And they said to me, 'Make for us gods who will go before us, because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

And Moses saw the people, that they [were] running wild because Aaron had allowed them to run wild, for a laughingstock among {their enemies}.

And Moses stood at the entrance of the camp, and he said, "Whoever [is] for Yahweh, to me." And all the sons of Levi were gathered to him.

And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and from the people on that day about three thousand persons fell.

And Moses said, "{You are ordained} today for Yahweh, because each [has been] against his son and against his brother and so bringing on you today a blessing."

{And} the next day Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."

And Moses returned to Yahweh, and he said, "Alas, this people has sinned a great sin and made for themselves gods of gold.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I will blot him from my scroll.

And Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Go, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your offspring.'

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Say to the {Israelites}, 'You [are] a stiff-necked people; [if] one moment I were to go up among you, I would destroy you. And now take down your ornaments from on you, and I will {decide} what I will do to you."

And Moses took the tent and pitched it outside the camp far from the camp, and he called it the tent of assembly, {and} all seeking Yahweh would go out to the tent of assembly, which [was] outside the camp.

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

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} 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 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.

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

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

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 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 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.

These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which [were] recorded at the {command of} Moses, the work of the Levites, in the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

And Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, did all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

And from the blue and the purple and the crimson [yarns] they made woven garments for serving in the sanctuary, and they made the holy garments that were for Aaron, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And the waistband of his ephod, which {was of one piece with it}, [was of] like work, gold, blue, and purple and crimson [yarns], and finely twisted linen, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And he set them on the ephod's shoulder pieces [as] stones of remembrance for the {Israelites}, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And they tied the breast piece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord [so that] the breast piece [would] be on the waistband of the ephod and not come loose from the ephod, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate on the hem of the robe all around for serving, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

and the sash of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson [yarns], the work of an embroiderer, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And they put a blue cord on it to put it above on the turban, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of assembly was finished, and the {Israelites} had done according to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses; so they did.

And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its equipment, its hooks, its frames, its bars, and its pillars and its bases;

According to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses, so the {Israelites} did all the work.

And Moses saw all the work, and, indeed, they had done it as Yahweh had commanded; so they did, and Moses blessed them.

And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

And Moses did according to all that Yahweh had commanded him; so he did.

And Moses raised the tabernacle, and he placed its bases, and he set up its frames, and he placed its bars, and he raised its pillars.

And he spread the tent over the tabernacle; he placed the covering of the tent over it, above [it], as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and he set up the curtain of the screening, and he shielded the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And he arranged on it an arrangement of bread before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And he set up the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And he turned fragrant incense into smoke on it, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And the altar of burnt offering he placed [at] the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of assembly, and he offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet from it.

At their going into the tent of assembly and at their approaching the altar, they washed, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And he set up the courtyard all around the tabernacle and the altar, and he put up the screen of the gate of the courtyard, and Moses completed the work.

And Moses was unable to go into the tent of assembly because the cloud settled on it and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.

Then Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of assembly, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

which Yahweh commanded Moses on {Mount Sinai} on the day of his commanding the {Israelites} to present their offerings to Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

So Moses did [just] as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to the tent of assembly.

Then Moses said to the community, "This [is] the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done."

So Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water.

and he placed the turban on his head, and on {the front of} the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that [was] in it, and he consecrated them.

Then Moses brought Aaron's sons near and clothed them [with] tunics and tied a sash [around] {each one}, and he bound headbands on them, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

and he slaughtered [it], and Moses took the blood and put [it] with his finger on the altar's horns all around and purified the altar; then he poured the blood out on the altar's base--thus he consecrated it [in order] to make atonement for it.

Then he took all the fat that [was] on the inner parts and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned [them] into smoke on the altar,

but he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire {outside the camp}, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

and he slaughtered [it]. Then Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.

Then he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet,

but he washed the inner parts and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it [was] a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

and he slaughtered [it]. Then Moses took {some of} its blood and put [it] on Aaron's right ear lobe and on his right hand's thumb and on his right foot's big toe.

Then he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put {some of} the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand's thumb and on their right foot's big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.

Then Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned [them] into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they [were] a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance--it [was] an offering made by fire for Yahweh.

Then Moses took the breast section, and he waved it [as] a wave offering {before} Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it [was] Moses' share, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

Then Moses took {some of} the anointing oil and {some of} the blood that [was] on the altar, and he spattered [them] on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron's sons and on his sons' garments with him--thus he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the meat in [the] entrance to [the] tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that [is] in the basket of the consecration offering, [just] as I have commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons must eat it,'

So Aaron and his sons did all the things that Yahweh had commanded {through} Moses.

Then on the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and Israel's elders,

So they took what Moses had commanded to [the] {front of} [the] tent of assembly, and the whole community presented [themselves], and they stood {before} Yahweh.

Then Moses said, "This [is] the word that Yahweh commanded you to do {so that} the glory of Yahweh might appear to you."

Then Moses said to Aaron, "Approach the altar and {sacrifice} your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. And {sacrifice} the people's offering and make atonement for them, [just] as Yahweh has commanded."

And the fat and the kidneys and the lobe {from the sin offering's liver} he turned into smoke on the altar, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses,

Then Aaron waved the breast sections and the right upper thigh [as] a wave offering {before} Yahweh, [just] as Moses had commanded.

Then Moses and Aaron entered [the] tent of assembly. When they came out, they blessed the people, and Yahweh's glory appeared to all the people.

Therefore Moses said to Aaron, "This [is] what Yahweh spoke, saying, 'Among those who are close to me I will show myself holy, and {in the presence of} all the people I will display my glory.'" So Aaron was silent.

Then Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, Aaron's uncle, and he said to them, "Come forward. Carry your brothers from {the front of} the sanctuary to {outside the camp}."
