And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold,

One at one end and one at the other; the winged ones are to be part of the cover.

And you are to make a table of the same wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high,

Plated with the best gold, with a gold edge all round it;

And make a frame all round it, as wide as a man's hand, with a gold edge to the frame.

And make four gold rings and put them at the four angles, on the four feet of the table;

Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table.

And on the table at all times you are to keep my holy bread.

It is to have six branches coming out from its sides; three branches from one side and three from the other.

And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all the six branches of it.

Then you are to make its seven vessels for the lights, putting them in their place so that they give light in front of it.

And the instruments and trays for use with it are all to be of the best gold.

A talent of gold will be needed for it, with all these vessels.

Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

Then make fifty brass hooks and put the hooks into the twists, joining the tent together to make it one.

And the cubit which is over of the ten curtains at the sides will be hanging over the two sides of the House as a cover.

And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.

Every board is to be ten cubits high and a cubit and a half wide.

Every board is to be joined to the one nearest to it by two tongues, and so for every board in the House.

With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

The two are to be joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, forming the two angles.

So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.

And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.

And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.

And make five pillars for the curtain, of hard wood plated with gold; their hooks are to be of gold and their bases of brass

And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide.

The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.

Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.

It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.

And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.

It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.

And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.

Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;

Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms.

Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band:

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.

With a hole at the top, in the middle of it; the hole is to be edged with a band to make it strong like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, so that it may not be broken open.

And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;

Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.

You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.

Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:

And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.

This is what you are to do to make them holy, to do the work of priests to me: Take one young ox and two male sheep, without any mark on them,

Then take the oil and put it on his head.

And you are to put the ox to death before the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting.

Then take some of the blood of the ox, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, draining out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

But the flesh of the ox and its skin and its waste parts are to be burned outside the circle of the tents, for it is a sin-offering.

Then let it be put to death, so that the sides of the altar are marked with its blood.

You are to put the sheep to death, and take some of its blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear, and of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the great toes of their right feet, dropping the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.

Then take some of the blood on the altar, and the oil, and put it on Aaron and his robes and on his sons and on their robes, so that he and his robes and his sons and their robes may be made holy.

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 take one bit of bread and one cake of oiled bread and one thin cake out of the basket of unleavened bread which is before the Lord:

Then take the breast of Aaron's sheep, waving it before the Lord; and it is to be your part of the offering.

And it will be their part as a right for ever from the children of Israel, it is a special offering from the children of Israel, made from their peace-offerings, a special offering lifted up to the Lord.

And let Aaron and his sons make a meal of it, with the bread in the basket, at the door of the Tent of meeting.

And if any of the flesh of the offering or of the bread is over till the morning, let it be burned with fire; it is not to be used for food, for it is holy.

Every day an ox is to be offered as a sin-offering, to take away sins: and by this offering on it, you will make the altar clean from sin; and you are to put oil on it and make it holy.

For seven days you are to make offerings for the altar and make it holy, so that it may become completely holy, and anything touching it will become holy.

And the other lamb is to be offered in the evening, and with it the same meal offering and drink offering, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

This is to be a regular burned offering made from generation to generation, at the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will come face to face with you and have talk with you.

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.

And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.

The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.

It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.

Under the edge on the two opposite sides, you are to make two gold rings, to take the rods for lifting it.

And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.

No strange perfume, no burned offering or meal offering, and no drink offering is to be offered on it.

And once every year Aaron is to make its horns clean: with the blood of the sin-offering he is to make it clean once every year from generation to generation: it is most holy to the Lord.

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.

You are to make a brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it;

That it may be used by Aaron and his sons for washing their hands and feet;

Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,

And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin:

And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil.

It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy.

Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people.

And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.

You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.

Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.

The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,

So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day; and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.

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.

And when Aaron saw this, he made an altar before it, and made a public statement, saying, Tomorrow there will be a feast to the Lord.

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.
