And the sons of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land in which people lived. They ate manna until they came into the borders of the land of Canaan.

And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the wrangling of the sons of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us or not?

But Moses' hands became heavy. And they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the going of the sun.

And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down to him, and kissed him. And they asked each other of their welfare. And they came into the tent.

Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they were proved against them.

When they have a matter, they come to me. And I judge between one and another, and I make known the statutes of God and His Laws.

And you shall teach them ordinances and laws, and shall make them know the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.

And let them judge the people at all times. And it shall be, every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge. And make it easier for yourself, and they shall bear with you.

And they judged the people at all times. The hard causes they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

In the third month when the sons of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on this day they came to the wilderness of Sinai.

And they journeyed from Rephidim, and came to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness. And Israel camped there in front of the mount.

There shall not be a hand to touch it, but that he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether beast or man, it shall not live. When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.

And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people. And they washed their clothes.

And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God. And they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down. Command the people, lest they break through to Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw, they trembled, and stood afar off.

And they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear. But let not God speak with us, lest we die.

If an ox gores a man or woman so that they die, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall be set free.

And in the event the ox of a man damages the ox of a neighbor, so that it dies, then they shall sell the living ox, and they shall divide the money of it. And they shall also divide the dead ox.

If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry.

But the seventh year you shall let it rest and let it alone, so that the poor of your people may eat. And what they leave, the animals of the field shall eat. In the same way you shall deal with your vineyard and with your oliveyard.

They shall not dwell in your land lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it surely will be a snare to you.

And Moses alone shall come near Jehovah, but they shall not come near. Neither shall the people go up with him.

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

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

And upon the nobles of the sons of Israel He did not lay his hands. Also they saw God, and ate and drank.

Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring Me an offering. You shall take an offering from every man that gives it willingly with his heart.

And they shall make an ark of acacia-wood. Two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high.

And the staves shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it.

And you shall make the seven lamps of it. And one shall light the lamps of it, so that they may give light on its face.

And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it to one ring. So it shall be for them both. They shall be for the two corners.

You shall make it hollow with boards; as it was shown you in the mountain, so shall they make it.

And you shall command the sons of Israel that they bring you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always

And you shall speak to all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, so that he may minister to Me in the priest's office.

And these are the garments which they shall make: a breast-pocket, and an ephod, and a robe, and an embroidered coat, a miter, and a girdle. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, so that he may minister to Me in the priest's office.

And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and bleached linen.

And they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined bleached linen, skilled work.

And the fourth row: a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold in their fillings.

And the stones shall be with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet. They shall be each one with his name according to the twelve tribes.

And they shall bind the breast-pocket by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the band of the ephod, and so that the breast-pocket may not be loosed from the ephod.

And you shall put in the breast-pocket of judgment the Urim and the Thummim. And they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Jehovah. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.

And it shall be on Aaron's forehead, so that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things which will sanctify the sons of Israel in all their holy gifts. And it shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be accepted before Jehovah.

And you shall clothe Aaron your brother with them, and his sons with him. And you shall anoint them, and you shall consecrate them, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may minister to Me in the priest's office.

And you shall make them linen breeches to cover the naked flesh; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach.

And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in to the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near the altar to minister in the holy place; so that they do not bear iniquity, and die. It shall be a statute forever to him and his seed after him.

And they shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them. But a stranger shall not eat because they are holy.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt so that I may dwell among them. I am Jehovah their God.

And you shall make two golden rings to it under the crown of it, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides of it you shall make it. And they shall be housings for the staves to bear it with.

When you count the sons of Israel, of those who are to be counted, then they shall each man give a ransom for his soul to Jehovah when you number them, so that there may be no plague among them when you number them.

They shall give this, every one that passes among those who are counted, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs); a half shekel shall be the offering of Jehovah.

The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than half a shekel, when they give an offering to Jehovah to make an atonement for your souls.

When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water so that they do not die. Or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Jehovah,

they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they do not die. And it shall be a statute forever to them, to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

And you shall sanctify them so that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them, so that they may minister to Me in the priest's office.

And behold, I have given to him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the wise-hearted, so that they may make all that I have commanded you:

and the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.

And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, and the people gathered themselves to Aaron. And they said to him, Up! Make us gods who shall go before us. For this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.

And he took them from their hand, and fashioned it with an engraving tool. And he made it a molten calf. And they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

And they rose up early on the next day and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are your gods, O Israel, who have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.

And he took the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and dropped it upon the water, and made the sons of Israel drink of it.

And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on mischief.

For they said to me, Make us gods who shall go before us. For this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.

And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off. And they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

And Jehovah plagued the people because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

And the people heard these evil tidings, and they mourned, and put no ornaments on themselves.

lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice to their gods, and call you, and you eat of his sacrifice;

And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face had become luminous. And they were afraid to come near him.

And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom His spirit made willing. They brought Jehovah's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all His service, and for the holy garments.

And every wise-hearted woman spun with her hands. And they brought spun yarn, blue, and purple, scarlet, and bleached linen.

And they brought spice and oil, for the light and for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense.

And they received all the offerings from Moses, the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought to him free offerings every morning.

And all the wise men who worked all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they made.

And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.

And Moses commanded, and they caused it to be known throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. And the people were kept from bringing.

For the stuff which they had was enough for all the work to make it, and too much.

And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head of it, to one ring. So he did to both of them in both the corners.

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary. And they made the holy garments for Aaron, even as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut threads to work it into the blue, and into the purple, and into the scarlet, and into the bleached linen, the work of an artisan.

They made shoulder-pieces for it, to couple it together. It was coupled together by the two edges.

And they made stones of onyx set in plaited work of gold, engraved as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel.

it was square. They made the breast-pocket double. Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, doubled.

And they set four rows of stones in it. One row was a ruby, a topaz, and a carbuncle, the first row.

And they made cords of chains upon the breast-pocket, of woven work of pure gold.

And they made two plaitings of gold and two gold rings. And they put the two rings on the two ends of the breast-pocket.

And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breast-pocket.

And the two ends of the two cords were fastened in the two plaitings. And they put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on its front.

And they made two rings of gold. And they put them on the two ends of the breast-pocket, on its border, on the side of the ephod inward.

And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the front of it, near the other coupling of it, above to the band of the ephod.

And they bound the breast-pocket by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it might be above the band of the ephod, and so that the breast-pocket might not be loosened from the ephod, even as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined bleached linen.

And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hems of the robe, all around, between the pomegranates:

And they made the tunics of bleached linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons.

And they made a miter of bleached linen, and the turban of the caps of bleached linen, and linen breeches of fine twined bleached linen,

And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it an inscription of the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO JEHOVAH.

And they tied a lace of blue to it, in order to fasten it on high upon the miter, even as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation was finished. And the sons of Israel did according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses. So they did.
