He has equipped them to do all kinds of work done by an engraver, designer, embroider in blue, purple and scarlet material and in fine linen, or as a weaver. They were able to do all kinds of work and were skilled designers.

Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing

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.

The materials were sufficient for them to do all the work. There was more than enough.

And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle [with] ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson [yarns], [with] cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman.

The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.

He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain that [was] in the second set; the loops were opposite {one to another}.

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

The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group.

The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

There were two tenons connected to each other for each plank. He did the same for all the planks of the tabernacle.

and their forty sockets were of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

They were paired at the bottom and joined together at the top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners.

So there were eight planks with their 16 silver bases, two bases under each one.

All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

He made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold. And he cast four silver bases for the posts.

together with its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.

And he cast for it four gold rings on its four feet; and two rings were on its one side, and two rings were on its second side.

Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.

They had wings spread out. They faced each other and covered the mercy seat with their wings. The faces of the cherubim were looking toward the mercy seat.

And he cast for it four gold rings, and he put the rings on the four corners where its four {legs} [were].

The rings were next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.

And he made the vessels that [were] on the table--its plates and its ladles, and its bowls and its pitchers with which [libations] were poured--[of] pure gold.

And he made the lampstand of pure gold; he made the lampstand of hammered work--its base and its branch, its cups, its buds, and its blossoms were {all part of it}.

And six branches [were] going out from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its second side.

There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the next branch. It was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand.

On the lampstand shaft there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with its calyxes and petals.

Their calyxes and branches were of one piece. All of it was a single hammered piece of pure gold.

He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, 18 inches long and 18 inches wide; it was 36 inches high. Its horns were of one piece.

The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.

He made horns for it on its four corners; the horns were of one piece. Then he overlaid it with bronze.

Then he made the courtyard. The hangings on the south side of the courtyard were of finely spun linen, 150 feet in length,

including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

The hangings on the north side were also 150 feet in length, including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

The hangings on the west side were 75 feet in length, including their 10 posts and 10 bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

The hangings on the east toward the sunrise were also 75 feet in length.

The hangings on one side of the gate were 22½ feet, including their three posts and three bases.

It was the same for the other side. The hangings were 22½ feet, including their three posts and three bases on both sides of the courtyard gate.

All the hangings around the courtyard were of finely spun linen.

The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks and bands of the posts were silver; and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. All the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

It had four posts, including their four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, and the bands as well as the plating of their tops were silver.

All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

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.

The silver from those of the community who were registered was 7,544 pounds, according to the sanctuary shekel—

a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men.

There were 7,500 pounds of silver used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil—100 bases from 7,500 pounds, 75 pounds for each base.

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.

They made the onyx stones, set in gold filigree settings; they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.

and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were surrounded with gold filigree in their settings.

And the stones [were] according to the names of the {Israelites}; they [were] twelve according to their names, [with] seal engravings, each according to its name for [the] twelve tribes.

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 two other gold rings were put on the front of the ephod, over the arm-holes, at the join, and over the worked band.

And the rings on the bag were fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord, keeping it in place over the band, so that the bag might not get loose, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.

All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.

The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

And anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they were priests to me; and it was to be to them an anointing for the priesthood forever for their generations.

In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,

when they were entering into the tent of meeting, and when they were drawing near unto the altar, then used they to bathe, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.

But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

And if all the assembly of Israel shall err, and the word was hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they did behind from the commands of Jehovah, which shall not be done, and they were guilty,

Causing sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he came on by chance,

This is the portion from the fire offerings to the Lord for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests.

The Lord commanded this to be given to the priests by the Israelites on the day that He anointed them. It is their portion perpetually throughout their generations.’”

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 when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses.

but the inwards and the legs, were bathed in water, - and Moses made a perfume with the whole ram at the altar, an ascending-sacrifice, it was - for a satisfying odour an altar-flame, it was unto Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

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,

Then were brought near the sons of Aaron, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, - and Moses dashed the blood against the altar round about.

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.

as they were this day. Even so the LORD hath commanded to do, to reconcile you with all.

But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle;

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

Then he slew the ox and the ram that were the people's peace offerings, and Aaron's sons brought the blood unto him, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about,

And Moses spoke unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the grain offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:

As to the breast and thigh raised offerings, you and your sons and daughters with you may eat them at a clean place, because they belong to you and are your sons' prescribed portions and were taken from the sacrifices of peace offering presented by the Israelis.

And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying,

Look! Its blood wasn't brought inside the sanctuary. You were to have eaten it in the sanctuary, just as I commanded."

So Aaron said to Moses, "Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering {before} Yahweh, and [things] such as these have happened to me, and [if] I were to eat a sin offering today, would it have been good in Yahweh's eyes?"

For I am Jehovah, your God, and ye were consecrated and ye were holy, for I am holy: and ye shall not make your souls unclean by any creeping thing creeping upon the earth.

"When there appeareth a rising in any man's flesh - either a scab or a glistering white - as though the plague of leprosy were in the skin of his flesh, then let him be brought unto Aaron the priest or unto one of his sons, the priests.

And he that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me there is as it were a disease in the house:

Whoever then touches any of the things which were under him shall be unclean until evening, and he who carries them shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

And a woman whom a man shall lie with her, with the effusion of seed, and they washed in water, and were unclean till the evening.

The reason is so that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they were sacrificing in the open field, that they may bring them in to the Lord, at the doorway of the tent of meeting to the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the Lord.

And {they may no longer sacrifice} their sacrifices to the goat-idols after which they were prostituting. This is {a lasting statute} for them {throughout} their generations." '

You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of the wife and her daughter also; neither shalt thou take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover their privities: they are her next kin, it were therefore wickedness.

" 'You must not make yourself unclean in any of these [things], because the nations whom I am driving out from your presence were made unclean by all of these.

(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

That the land vomit you not out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

For every one which shall do from all of these abominations, and the souls doing were cut off from the midst of their people

Therefore shall you keep my ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

But the stranger that dwells with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

And ye were consecrated and ye were holy: for I Jehovah your God.

If a man lies [intimately] with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed a detestable (perverse, unnatural) act; they shall most certainly be put to death; their blood is on them.

And a man who shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and he saw her nakedness, and she shall see his nakedness; it is a reproach; and they were cut off in the eyes of the sons of their people; he uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
