Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.”

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper as his complement.”

“Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside.

This is how you are to make it: The ark will be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.

You are to make a roof, finishing the sides of the ark to within 18 inches of the roof. You are to put a door in the side of the ark. Make it with lower, middle, and upper decks.

Seven days from now I will make it rain on the earth 40 days and 40 nights, and I will wipe off from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”

They said to each other, “Come, let us make oven-fired bricks.” They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.

And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

I will make you into a great nation,
I will bless you,
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.

Your name will no longer be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.

I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you.

As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will certainly bless him; I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly. He will father 12 tribal leaders, and I will make him into a great nation.

So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Knead three measures of fine flour and make bread.”

But I will also make a nation of the slave’s son because he is your offspring.”

Get up, help the boy up, and support him, for I will make him a great nation.”

I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.

Abraham answered him, “Make sure that you don’t take my son back there.

He said to me, ‘The Lord before whom I have walked will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, and you will take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s household.

“Today when I came to the spring, I prayed: Lord, God of my master Abraham, if only You will make my journey successful!

I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring,

They replied, “We have clearly seen how the Lord has been with you. We think there should be an oath between two parties—between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you:

Then make me a delicious meal that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I can bless you before I die.”

‘Bring me the game and make a delicious meal for me to eat so that I can bless you in the Lord’s presence before I die.’

Go to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, and I will make them into a delicious meal for your father—the kind he loves.

May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you so that you become an assembly of peoples.

Come now, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be a witness between the two of us.”

You have said, ‘I will cause you to prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’”

she called the household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could.

Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me,

But the men were afraid because they were taken to Joseph’s house. They said, “We have been brought here because of the money that was returned in our bags the first time. They intend to overpower us, seize us, make us slaves, and take our donkeys.”

God said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.

He said to me, ‘I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as an eternal possession to your future descendants.’

So he blessed them that day with these words:

The nation Israel will invoke blessings by you, saying,
“May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh,”
putting Ephraim before Manasseh.

Yahweh said to him, “Who made the human mouth? Who makes him mute or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?

The Lord instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, make sure you do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart so that he won’t let the people go.

No straw has been given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘Make bricks!’ Look, your servants are being beaten, but it is your own people who are at fault.”

I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I did not reveal My name Yahweh to them.

Moses said to Pharaoh, “You make the choice rather than me. When should I ask on behalf of you, your officials, and your people, that the frogs be taken away from you and your houses, and remain only in the Nile?”

I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.”

Pharaoh responded, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness, but don’t go very far. Make an appeal for me.”

But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that the Israelites own will die.”

However, I have let you live for this purpose: to show you My power and to make My name known in all the earth.

Make an appeal to Yahweh. There has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t need to stay any longer.”

Please forgive my sin once more and make an appeal to Yahweh your God, so that He will take this death away from me.”

Pharaoh said to him, “Leave me! Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”

But against all the Israelites, whether man or beast, not even a dog will snarl, so that you may know that Yahweh makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by pots of meat and ate all the bread we wanted. Instead, you brought us into this wilderness to make this whole assembly die of hunger!”

Whenever they have a dispute, it comes to me, and I make a decision between one man and another. I teach them God’s statutes and laws.”

Do not make an idol for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.

You must not make gods of silver to rival Me; you must not make gods of gold for yourselves.

“You must make an earthen altar for Me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats, as well as your cattle. I will come to you and bless you in every place where I cause My name to be remembered.

If you make a stone altar for Me, you must not build it out of cut stones. If you use your chisel on it, you will defile it.

But if this happens after sunrise, there is guilt of bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution. If he is unable, he is to be sold because of his theft.

“When a fire gets out of control, spreads to thornbushes, and consumes stacks of cut grain, standing grain, or a field, the one who started the fire must make full restitution for what was burned.

there must be an oath before the Lord between the two of them to determine whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property. Its owner must accept the oath, and the other man does not have to make restitution.

But if, in fact, the animal was stolen from his custody, he must make restitution to its owner.

If it was actually torn apart by a wild animal, he is to bring it as evidence; he does not have to make restitution for the torn carcass.

“When a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not there with it, the man must make full restitution.

If its owner is there with it, the man does not have to make restitution. If it was rented, the loss is covered by its rental price.

“I will cause the people ahead of you to feel terror and throw into confusion all the nations you come to. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in retreat.

You must not make a covenant with them or their gods.

They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against Me. If you worship their gods, it will be a snare for you.”

“They are to make a sanctuary for Me so that I may dwell among them.

You must make it according to all that I show you—the pattern of the tabernacle as well as the pattern of all its furnishings.

“They are to make an ark of acacia wood, 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

Overlay it with pure gold; overlay it both inside and out. Also make a gold molding all around it.

Make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

Make a mercy seat of pure gold, 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.

Make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat.

Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. At its two ends, make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat.

Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it.

Make a three-inch frame all around it and make a gold molding for it all around its frame.

Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table can be carried by them.

You are also to make its plates and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold.

“You are to make a lampstand out of pure, hammered gold. It is to be made of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its calyxes and petals.

“Make seven lamps on it. Its lamps are to be set up so they illuminate the area in front of it.

Be careful to make them according to the pattern you have been shown on the mountain.

“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with 10 curtains. You must make them of finely spun linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.

Make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.

Make 50 loops on the one curtain and make 50 loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together.

Also make 50 gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.

“You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make 11 of these curtains.

Make 50 loops on the edge of the one curtain, the outermost in the first set, and make 50 loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain of the second set.

Make 50 bronze clasps; put the clasps through the loops and join the tent together so that it is a single unit.

Make a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of manatee skins on top of that.

“You are to make upright planks of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

Make the planks for the tabernacle as follows: 20 planks for the south side,

and make 40 silver bases under the 20 planks, two bases under the first plank for its two tenons, and two bases under the next plank for its two tenons;

and make six planks for the west side of the tabernacle.

Make two additional planks for the two back corners of the tabernacle.

“You are to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the planks on one side of the tabernacle,

Then overlay the planks with gold, and make their rings of gold as the holders for the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

“You are to make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen with a design of cherubim worked into it.

Hang the veil under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony there behind the veil, so the veil will make a separation for you between the holy place and the most holy place.

“For the entrance to the tent you are to make a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

Make five posts of acacia wood for the screen and overlay them with gold; their hooks are to be gold, and you are to cast five bronze bases for them.

Make horns for it on its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece. Overlay it with bronze.

Make its pots for removing ashes, and its shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; make all its utensils of bronze.
