With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

And in the bag you are to put the Urim and Thummim, so that they may be on Aaron's heart whenever he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron may have the power of making decisions for the children of Israel before the Lord at all times.

And for Aaron's sons you are to make coats, and bands, and head-dresses, so that they may be clothed with glory and honour.

Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.

Then take the fat of the sheep, the fat tail, the fat covering the insides, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and the right leg; for by the offering of this sheep they are to be marked out as priests:

And Aaron's holy robes will be used by his sons after him; they will put them on when they are made priests.

All those things which were used as offerings to take away sin, and to make them holy to be priests, they may have for food: but no one who is not a priest may have them, for they are holy food.

And they will see that I am the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be ever with them: I am the Lord their God.

When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to the Lord a price for his life, so that no disease may come on them when they are numbered.

And this is what they are to give; let every man who is numbered give half a shekel, by the scale of the holy place: (the shekel being valued at twenty gerahs:) this money is an offering to the Lord.

Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,

Their hands and feet are to be washed. so that they may be safe from death: this is an order to them for ever; to him and his seed from generation to generation.

And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place; they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.

Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths; for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.

And when the people saw that Moses was a long time coming down from the mountain, they all came to Aaron and said to him, Come, make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

And he took the gold from them and, hammering it with an instrument, he made it into the metal image of a young ox: and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

So early on the day after they got up and made burned offerings and peace-offerings; and took their seats at the feast, and then gave themselves to pleasure.

Even now they are turned away from the rule I gave them, and have made themselves a metal ox and given worship to it and offerings, saying, This is your god, O Israel, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

And the Lord said to Moses, I have been watching this people, and I see that they are a stiff-necked people.

And when he came near the tents he saw the image of the ox, and the people dancing; and in his wrath Moses let the stones go from his hands, and they were broken at the foot of the mountain.

And he took the ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a drink of it.

For they said to me, Make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to him.

Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.

And the Lord sent punishment on the people because they gave worship to the ox which Aaron made.

And all the people saw the cloud at the door of the Tent, and they went down on their faces, everyone at the door of his tent.

Or take their daughters for your sons; for when their daughters give worship before their gods, they will make your sons take part with them.

But when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and the shining of his face, they would not come near him for fear.

They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.

To them he has given knowledge of all the arts of the handworker, of the designer, and the expert workman; of the maker of needlework in blue and purple and red and the best linen, and of the maker of cloth; in all the arts of the designer and the trained workman they are expert.

And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.

For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.

Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

And they put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and in the same way on the outside curtain of the second group.

And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.

And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made.

And they put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group,

And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that.

And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.

They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:

And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,

And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,

And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,

And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.

And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;

And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.

And from the needlework of blue and purple and red they made the robes used for the work of the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

And they made two bands for joining its edges together at the top of the arms.

Then they made the beryl stones, fixed in twisted frames of gold and cut like the cutting of a stamp, with the names of the children of Israel.

And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

In the fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they were fixed in twisted frames of gold.

And on the bag they put gold chains, twisted like cords.

And they made two gold frames and two gold rings, the rings being fixed to the ends of the priest's bag;

And they put the two twisted chains on the two rings at the ends of the priest's bag;

And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two lower ends of the bag, on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

The coats for Aaron and his sons they made of the best linen;

Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.

And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

But while the cloud was there, they made no move till it was taken up.

You may give them as an offering of first-fruits to the Lord, but they are not to go up as a sweet smell on the altar.

And if all the people of Israel do wrong, without anyone's knowledge; if they have done any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done, causing sin to come on them;

When the sin which they have done comes to light, then let all the people give an ox for a sin-offering, and take it before the Tent of meeting.

Let him do with the ox as he did with the ox of the sin-offering; and the priest will take away their sin and they will have forgiveness.

And he is to put his hand on the head of the goat and put it to death in the place where they put to death the burned offering before the Lord: it is a sin-offering.

And he is to put his hand on the head of the sin-offering and put it to death in the place where they put to death the burned offering.

And he is to put his hand on the head of the offering and put it to death for a sin-offering in the place where they put to death the burned offering.

And whatever is over Aaron and his sons may have for their food, taking it without leaven in a holy place; in the open space of the Tent of meeting they may take a meal of it.

They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.

They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.

This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;

As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.

And he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the sheep,

And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord.

And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.

And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.

They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar.

And fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down on their faces.

So they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses had said.

And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said.

And the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, you are to take as your food in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you: for they are given to you as your right and your sons' right, from the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

And Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would it have been pleasing to the Lord?

Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.

All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.

And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

And they are to be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, and the priest will take away his sin before the Lord on account of his flow.

In this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and when they make unclean my holy place which is among them.

And the Lord said to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron when they took in strange fire before the Lord and death overtook them;

And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.

And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.

You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;

You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
