The third month after the children of Israel were gone out of Egypt: the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched their tents in the wilderness. And there Israel pitched, before the mount.

that they may be ready against the third day. For the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

And Moses went down from the mount unto the people and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes.

And Moses brought the people out of the tents to meet with God, and they stood under the hill.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go down and charge the people that they prease not up unto the LORD for to see him, and so many of them perish.

And when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off and said unto Moses, "Talk thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God talk with us, lest we die."

"If a man smite his servant or his maid with a staff that they die under his hand, it shall be avenged.

But and if they continue a day or two, it shall not be avenged for they are his money.

If an ox gore a man or a woman that they die, then the ox shall be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten: and his master shall go quit.

If one man's ox hurt another's that he die: then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money, and the dead ox also they shall divide.

If ye shall trouble them, they shall cry unto me, and I will surely hear their cry;

Thy fruits, whether they be dry or moist, see thou keep not back. Thy firstborn son thou shalt give me:

and the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat: In like manner thou shalt do with thy vineyard and thine olive trees.

and I will send hornets before thee, and they shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites and the Hittites before thee.

Neither shall they dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be thy decay."

And Moses went himself alone unto the LORD, but they came not nigh, neither came the people up with him.

And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the audience of the people. And they said, "All that the LORD hath said, we will do and hear."

and upon the nobles of the children of Israel he set not his hand. And when they had seen God they ate and drank.

"Speak unto the children of Israel, that they give me a heave offering, and of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart, ye shall take it.

"And they shall make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.

And they shall make an ark of sethim-wood; two cubits and a half long, a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.

The length of a curtain shall be twenty eight cubits, and the breadth four and they shall be all of one measure:

The length of a curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth four, and they shall be all eleven of one measure.

"And command the children of Israel that they give the pure oil olive beaten for the lights to pour always into the lamps.

Moreover, speak unto all that are wise hearted, which I have filled with the spirit of wisdom: that they make Aaron's raiment to consecrate him with, that he may minister unto me.

"These are the garments which they shall make: a breastlap, ephod, a tunicle, a strait coat, a mitre and a girdle. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother and his sons, that he may minister unto me.

And they shall take thereto, gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and bysse.

And they shall make the ephod of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and white twined bysse with broidered work.

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the two shoulders of the ephod, and they shall be stones of remembrance unto the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a remembrance.

The fourth, a Turquoise, Onyx and Jasper. And they shall be set in gold in their enclosures.

And they shall bind the breastlap by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of jacinth, that it may lie close unto the broidered girdle of the ephod, that the breastlap be not loosed from the ephod.

And thou shalt put in the breastlap of example Light and Perfectness: that they be even upon Aaron's heart when he goeth in before the LORD and Aaron shall bear the example of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD always.

upon the forefront of it, that it be upon Aaron's forehead: that Aaron bear the sin of the holy things which the children of Israel have hallowed in all their holy gifts. And it shall be always upon Aaron's forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

and thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother and on his sons with him and shalt anoint them and fill their hands and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me.

And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their privities: from the loins unto the thighs shall they reach.

And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons, when they go into the tabernacle of witness, or when they go unto the altar to minister in holiness, that they bear no sin and so die. And it shall be a law for ever unto Aaron and his seed after him."

And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' duty forever, of the children of Israel, for it is a heave offering. And the heave offering shall be the LORD's duty of the children of Israel: even of the sacrifice of their peace offerings which they heave unto the LORD.

And they shall eat them, because the atonement was made therewith to fill their hands and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

Seven days thou shalt reconcile the altar and sanctify it, that it may be an altar most holy: so that no man may touch it but they that be consecrate.

And they shall know that I am the LORD their God that brought them out of the land of Egypt for to dwell among them: even I the LORD their God."

"When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel and tellest them, they shall give every man a reconciling of his soul unto the LORD, that there be no plague among them when thou tellest them.

The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not go under, half a sicle; when they give a heave offering unto the LORD for the atonement of their souls.

when they go into the tabernacle of witness, or when they go unto the altar to minister and to burn the LORD's offering, lest they die.

And sanctify them that they may be most holy: so that no man touch them but they that be hallowed.

and the anointing oil and the sweet cense for the sanctuary: according to all as I have commanded thee shall they do."

Wherefore let the children of Israel keep the Sabbath, that they observe it throughout their generations, that it be an covenant forever.

And when the people saw that it was long or Moses came down out of the mountain, they gathered themselves together and came unto Aaron and said unto him, "Up, and make us a god to go before us: for of this Moses, the fellow that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become."

And he received them of their hands and fashioned it with a graver and made it a calf of molten metal. And they said, "This is thy God, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt."

And they rose up in the morning and offered burnt offerings, and brought offerings of atonement also. And then they sat them down to eat and drink, and rose up again to play.

have marred all: they are turned at once out of the way which I commanded them, and have made them a calf of molten metal, and have worshipped it and have offered thereto and have said, 'This is thy God thou Israel, which hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt.'"

Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self and saidest unto them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land which I have said, I will give unto your seed: and they shall inherit it forever.'"

And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, "There is a noise of war in the host."

And the took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and stamped it unto powder and strowed it in the water, and made the children of Israel drink.

And Aaron said, "Let not the wrath of my lord wax fierce, thou knowest the people that they are even set on mischief.

They said unto me, 'Make us a god to go before us, for we wot not what is become of Moses, the fellow that brought us out of the land of Egypt.'

When Moses saw that the people were naked - for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame when they made insurrection -

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

And when the people heard this evil tidings, they sorrowed: and no man did put on his best raiment.

And when all the people saw the clouden pillar stand in the tabernacle door, they rose up and worshipped: every man in his tent door.

lest, if thou make any covenant with the inhabiters of the land, when they go a whoring after their gods and do sacrifice unto their gods, they call thee and thou eat of their sacrifice;

they make thy sons go a whoring after their gods also. Thou shalt make thee no gods of metal.

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel looked upon Moses and saw that the skin of his face shone with beams, they were afraid to come nigh him.

And they went - as many as their hearts couraged them and as many as their spirits made them willing - and brought heave offerings unto the LORD, to the making of the tabernacle of witness and for all his uses and for the holy vestments.

hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of graven work. They are also broiderers, and workers with needle, in jacinth, scarlet, purple and bysse; and are weavers that can make all manner work, and can devise subtle works.

And they received of Moses all the heave offerings which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the holy service to make it withal. And they brought, beside that, willing offerings every morning.

And all the wise men that wrought all the holy work, came every man from his work which they made,

And then Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the host, saying, "See that neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the holy heave offering." And so the people were forbidden to bring:

for the stuff they had was sufficient for them unto all the work, to make it; and too much.

And they coupled five curtains by themselves, and other five by themselves.

And they made fifty loops of jacinth along by the edge of the utmost curtain, even in the selvedge of the coupling curtain: and likewise they made on the side of the utmost coupling curtain, on the other side;

fifty loops they made in the one curtain, and fifty in the edge of the coupling curtain on the other side: so that the loops were one over against another.

And they made fifty rings of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the rings: and so was it made a dwelling place.

And they made eleven curtains of goats' hair to be a tent

over the tabernacle thirty cubits long apiece and four cubits broad, and they, all eleven, of one size;

and they coupled five by themselves, and six by themselves,

and they made fifty loops along by the border of the utmost coupling courtain on the one side, and fifty in the edge of the coupling curtain on the other side.

And they made fifty rings of brass to couple the tent together that it might be one.

And they made a covering unto the tent of rams' skins red, and yet another of taxus' skins above all.

And they made boards for the dwelling place of sethim-wood that stood upright,

And they made two feet to every board of the dwelling place joining one to another.

And they made twenty boards for the south side of the habitation,

they made other twenty boards with forty sockets of silver, two sockets under every board.

And behind in the end of the tabernacle toward the west, they made six boards,

and they were joined close both beneath and also above with clamps, and thus they did to both the corners:

so they were in all eight boards and sixteen sockets, under every board two sockets.

And they made bars of sethim-wood; five for the boards of the one side of the habitation,

And they made the middle bar to shoot through the boards: even from the one end to the other,

And they made a hanging of jacinth, of scarlet, purple and twined bysse with cherubims of broidered work.

And made thereunto four pillars of sethim-wood and overlaid them with gold. Their knops were also of gold, and they cast for them four sockets of silver.

And they made a hanging for the tabernacle door: of jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse of needle work,

And of the jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse, they made the vestments of ministration to do service in that holy place, and made the holy garments that pertained to Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And they made the ephod of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple, and twined bysse.

And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires: to work it in the jacinth, scarlet, purple, and the bysse, with broidered work.

And they made the sides come together, and closed them up by the two edges.

And they wrought onyx stones closed in ouches of gold and graved as signets are graven with the names of the children of Israel,

and put them on the shoulders of the ephod that they should be a remembrance of the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And they made the breastlap of cunning work, after the work of the ephod: even of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse.

And they made it four square and double, a hand breadth long and a hand breadth broad.

And they filled it with four rows of stones - the first row: Sardius, a Topaz and Smaragdus;
