You are to do this for Aaron and his sons, just as I've commanded you. You are to ordain them for seven days,

and every day you are to offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. Offer the sin offering on the altar when you make atonement for it and anoint the altar to consecrate it.

You are to make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

You are to put the altar in front of the curtain that is over the Ark of the Testimony, in front of the Mercy Seat that is over the Testimony where I'll meet with you.

All who are registered, 20 years of age and older, are to give a contribution to the LORD.

You are to take the atonement money from the Israelis and give it for the service of the Tent of Meeting, and it is to be a memorial for the Israelis in the LORD's presence to make atonement for yourselves."

"You are to make a bronze basin with a bronze base for washing. You are to pace it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, put water in it,

You are to address the Israelis and tell them, "This is to be holy anointing oil for me from generation to generation.

It is not to be poured out on a person's body, nor are you to make anything like it with similar formulations. It is holy, and it is to be holy to you.

You are to make it into a fragrant incense, expertly blended, pure, and holy.

You are to grind some of it fine, and put some before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting where I will meet with you. It is to be most holy to you.

You are not to make the incense that you make in this formulation for your own use. It is to be holy to the LORD for you.

Along with him I'm appointing Ahisamach's son Oholiab from the tribe of Dan, and I've given wisdom to all who are skilled so they can make everything that I've commanded you,

the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them in accordance with everything that I commanded you."

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey, but I won't go up among you, because you are an obstinate people, and otherwise I might consume you along the way."

The LORD had told Moses, "Say to the Israelis, "You are an obstinate people, and if for one moment I went up among you, I would put an end to you. Now take off your ornaments so I may decide what to do with you.'"

Otherwise, how shall it be known that your people and I have received favor from you, unless you go with us and that we, your people and I, are distinguished from all the people on the surface of the earth?"

Be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning on Mount Sinai, where you are to present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain.

No one is to come up with you, nor is anyone to be seen anywhere on the mountain. Also, the sheep and cattle are not to graze in front of that mountain."

"Be very careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, so they won't be a snare among you.

Moses assembled the entire congregation of the Israelis and told them, "These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

For six days work is to be done, but on the seventh day you are to have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest in dedication to the LORD. Anyone who does work on that day is to be executed.

You are not to light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath."
