and there shall be one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering with one lamb.

It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the doorway of the tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet with you, to speak to you there.

I will meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be consecrated by My glory.

I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar; I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to minister as priests to Me.

I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will be their God.

You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it.

You shall put this altar in front of the veil that is near the ark of the testimony, in front of the mercy seat that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you.

“When you take a census of the sons of Israel to number them, then each one of them shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord, when you number them, so that there will be no plague among them when you number them.

when they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they will not die; or when they approach the altar to minister, by offering up in smoke a fire sacrifice to the Lord.

So they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they will not die; and it shall be a perpetual statute for them, for Aaron and his descendants throughout their generations.”

and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.

You shall make of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume mixture, the work of a perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.

and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,

and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand.

You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.

You shall beat some of it very fine, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,

and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship.

And behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

the tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony, and the mercy seat upon it, and all the furniture of the tent,

the table also and its utensils, and the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense,

the altar of burnt offering also with all its utensils, and the laver and its stand,

the woven garments as well, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, with which to carry on their priesthood;

the anointing oil also, and the fragrant incense for the holy place, they are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

Now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people assembled about Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”

Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron.

Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation.”

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’”

For they said to me, ‘Make a god for us who will go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’

then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him.

But now, if You will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!”

The Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

But go now, lead the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’

I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way.”

And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent.

When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent.

Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’

And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”

For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?”

The Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.”

And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.”

and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.”

Now the Lord said to Moses, “Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the former ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered.

who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

Then God said, “Behold, I am going to make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform miracles which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people among whom you live will see the working of the Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you.

Watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst.

“The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the first offspring from cattle and sheep.

You shall redeem with a lamb the first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. None shall appear before Me empty-handed.

Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.

For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.

So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.

Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them to do everything that the Lord had spoken to him on Mount Sinai.

Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do:

Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded, saying,

and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense,

‘Let every skillful man among you come, and make all that the Lord has commanded:

the table and its poles, and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;

the lampstand also for the light and its utensils and its lamps and the oil for the light;

and the altar of incense and its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the doorway at the entrance of the tabernacle;

the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand;

Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from Moses’ presence.

Everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit moved him came and brought the Lord’s contribution for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service and for the holy garments.

Then all whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did every man who presented an offering of gold to the Lord.

All the skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in blue and purple and scarlet material and in fine linen.

All the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats’ hair.

and the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.

The Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart moved them to bring material for all the work, which the Lord had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a freewill offering to the Lord.

And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all craftsmanship;

“Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skillful person in whom the Lord has put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”

They received from Moses all the contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.

And all the skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing,

For the material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.

All the skillful men among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, Bezalel made them.

The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same measurements.

Then he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all.

There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around.

He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding for it all around.

He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around, and made a gold molding for its rim all around.

Their bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.

He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.

He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around.

And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.

He made all the utensils of the altar, the pails and the shovels and the basins, the flesh hooks and the firepans; he made all its utensils of bronze.

All the hangings of the court all around were of fine twisted linen.

The sockets for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands, of silver; and the overlaying of their tops, of silver, and all the pillars of the court were furnished with silver bands.

All the pegs of the tabernacle and of the court all around were of bronze.

Now Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

With it he made the sockets to the doorway of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar,

and the sockets of the court all around and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the tabernacle and all the pegs of the court all around.

Moreover, from the blue and purple and scarlet material, they made finely woven garments for ministering in the holy place as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;

and the opening of the robe was at the top in the center, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding all around its opening, so that it would not be torn.

They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe,

alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
