 26 And thou dost make the tabernacle, ten curtains of twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, with cherubs, work of a designer thou dost make them. The length of the one curtain is eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain, four by the cubit. One measure is to all the curtains. Five of the curtains are joining one unto another, and five curtains are joining one to another, and thou hast made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the joining, and so thou makest in the edge of the outermost curtain in the joining of the second. Fifty loops thou dost make in the one curtain, and fifty loops thou dost make in the edge of the curtain, which is in the joining of the second, causing the loops to take hold one unto another, and thou hast made fifty hooks of gold, and hast joined the curtains one to another by the hooks, and the tabernacle hath been one. And thou hast made curtains of goatshair, for a tent over the tabernacle, thou dost make eleven curtains, the length of the one curtain is thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain, four by the cubit. One measure is to the eleven curtains, and thou hast joined the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart, and hast doubled the six curtains over against the front of the tent, and thou hast made fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain, the outermost in the joining, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain, which is joining the second, and thou hast made fifty hooks of brass, and hast brought in the hooks into the loops, and hast joined the tent, and it hath been one. And the superfluity in the curtains of the tent, the half of the curtain which is superfluous, hath spread over the hinder part of the tabernacle, and the cubit on this side, and the cubit on that, in the superfluity in the length of the curtains of the tent, is spread out over the sides of the tabernacle, on this and on that, to cover it, and thou hast made a covering for the tent of ram's skins made red, and a covering of badger's skins above, and thou hast made the boards for the tabernacle of shittimwood standing up, ten cubits is the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the one board. Two handles are to the one board, joined one unto another, so thou dost make for all the boards of the tabernacle, and thou hast made the boards of the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward, and forty sockets of silver thou dost make under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles. And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side are twenty boards, and there forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board. And for the sides of the tabernacle westward Thou dost make six boards, And two boards Thou dost make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides, And they are pairs beneath, And together they are pairs above its head Unto the one ring. So is it for them both, They are for the two corners. And they have been eight boards, And their sockets of silver are sixteen sockets, Two sockets under the one board, And two sockets under another board, And Thou hast made bars of shittomwood, Five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, And five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, And five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle at the two sides westward. And one hath caused the middle bar in the midst of the boards to reach from end unto end, And the boards Thou dost overlay with gold, And their rings Thou dost make of gold places for bars, And hast overlaid their bars with gold, And Thou hast raised up the tabernacle according to its fashion, Which Thou hast been shun in the mount, And Thou hast made a veil of blue and purple and scarlet and twined linen, Work of a designer, He maketh it with cherubs, And Thou hast put it on four pillars of shittomwood, Overlaid with gold, Their pegs are of gold on four sockets of silver, And Thou hast put the veil under the hooks, And hast brought in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony, And the veil hath made a separation for you between the holy and the holy of holies, And Thou hast put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies, And Thou hast set the table at the outside of the veil, And the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle southward, And the table Thou dost put on the north side, And Thou hast made a covering for the opening of the tent, Blue and purple and scarlet and twined linen, Work of an embroiderer, And Thou hast made for the covering Five pillars of shittomwood, And hast overlaid them with gold, Their pegs are of gold, And Thou hast cast for them five sockets of brass, Chapter 27 And Thou hast made the altar of shittomwood, Five cubits the length, And five cubits the breadth, The altar is square, And three cubits its height, And Thou hast made its horns on its four corners, Its horns are of the same, And Thou hast overlaid it with brass, And Thou hast made its pots to remove its ashes and its shovels, And its bowls and its forks and its firepans, Even all its vessels Thou dost make of brass, And Thou hast made for it a great of network of brass, And hast made on the net four rings of brass on its four extremities, And hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, And the net hath been unto the middle of the altar. And Thou hast made staves for the altar, Staves of shittomwood, And hast overlaid them with brass, And the staves have been brought into the rings, And the staves have been on the two sides of the altar in bearing it. Hollow with boards Thou dost make it, As it hath been shewed thee in them out, So do they make it. And Thou hast made the court of the tabernacle, For the south side southward, Hangings for the court of twined linen, A hundred by the cubit is the length for the one side, And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets are of brass. The pegs of the pillars and their fillets are of silver. And so for the north side in length, Hangings of a hundred cubits in length, And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets are of brass, The pegs of the pillars and their fillets are of silver, And for the breadth of the court at the west side And for the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, are fifty cubits. And the hangings at the side are fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three. And at the second side are hangings fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three. And for the gate of the court a covering of twenty cubits, blue and purple and scarlet and twined linen, work of an embroiderer, their pillars for, their sockets for. All the pillars of the court round about are filleted with silver, their pegs are silver, and their sockets brass. The length of the court is a hundred by the cubit, and the breadth, fifty by fifty, and the height, five cubits, of twined linen, and their sockets are brass. Even all the vessels of the tabernacle, in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, are brass. And thou, thou dost command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto the pure-beaten olive oil for the light, to cause the lamp to go up continually. In the tent of meeting at the outside of the veil which is over the testimony, Doth Aaron, his sons also, arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah, a statute age-during to their generations from the sons of Israel. And thou, bring thou near unto the Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for his being priest to me, even Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eliezer and Ithamar, sons of Aaron. And thou hast made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for honor and for beauty. And thou, thou dost speak unto all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, and they have made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being priest to me. And these are the garments which they make, a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a miter and a girdle. Yea, they have made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons for his being priest to me. And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen, and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer. It hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined. And the girdle of his ephod which is on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. And thou hast taken the two Shoham stones, and hast opened on them the names of the sons of Israel, six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births. The work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet, thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of Israel, turned round, embroidered with gold, thou dost make them. And thou hast set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod, stones of memorial to the sons of Israel, and Aaron hath borne their names before Jehovah on his two shoulders for a memorial. And thou hast made embroidered things of gold, and two chains of pure gold, wreathed work, thou dost make them, work of thick bands, and thou hast put the thick chains on the embroidered things. And thou hast made a breastplate of judgment, work of a designer. According to the work of the ephod, thou dost make it, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twine linen, thou dost make it. It is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth. And thou hast set in it settings of stone, four rows of stone. A row of sardias, topaz, and carbuncle is the first row. And the second row is emerald, sapphire, and diamond. And the third row is opal, agate, and amethyst. And the fourth row is barrow, and onyx, and jasper, embroidered with gold are they in their settings. And the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, openings of a signet. Each by his name are they for the twelve tribes. And thou hast made on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands of pure gold. And thou hast made on the breastplate two rings of gold, and hast put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. And thou hast put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. And the two ends of the two thick bands thou dost put on the two embroidered things, and thou hast put them on the shoulders of the ephod over against its face, and thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which is over against the ephod within. And thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast put them on the two shoulders of the ephod beneath, over against its front, over against its joining, above the girdle of the ephod, and they bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod. And Aaron hath borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, in his going in unto the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually. And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the lights and the perfections, and they have been on the heart of Aaron in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually. And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue, and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver as the opening of a haborgen there is to it, it is not rent. And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about, a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate are on the hems of the upper robe round about, and it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die. And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened on it openings of a signet, holy to Jehovah. And thou hast put it on a blue ribbon, and it hath been on the mitre over against the front of the mitre it is. And it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel do howl, even all their holy gifts. And it hath been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before Jehovah. And thou hast embroidered the coat of linen, and hast made a mitre of linen, and a girdle thou dost make, work of an embroiderer. And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou hast made for them girdles, yay, bonnets thou dost make for them, for honor and for beauty. And thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been priests to me. And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh, they are from the loins even unto the thighs, and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not bear iniquity, nor have they died. A statute aged during to him, and to his seed after him. CHAPTER XXIX And this is the thing which thou dost to them, to hallow them, for being priests to me. Take one bollock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones, and bread unleavened, and cakes unleavened anointed with oil, of fine wheat and flour thou dost make them, and thou hast put them on one basket, and hast brought them near in the basket, also the bollock in the two rams. And Aaron and his sons thou dost bring near unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water, and thou hast taken the garments, and hast clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and hast girded him with the girdle of the ephod, and hast set the miter on his head, and hast put the holy crown on the miter, and hast taken the anointing oil, and hast poured it on his head, and hast anointed him, and his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats, and hast girded them with a girdle, Aaron and his sons, and hast bound on them bonnets, and the priesthood hath been theirs by a statute age-during, and thou hast consecrated the hand of Aaron and the hand of his sons, and hast brought near the bollock before the tent of meeting, and Aaron hath laid his sons also, their hands on the head of the bollock, and thou hast slaughtered the bollock before Jehovah at the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast taken of the blood of the bollock, and hast put it on the horns of the altar with thy finger, and all the blood thou dost pour out at the foundation of the altar, and thou hast taken all the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundants on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, and hast made perfume on the altar, and the flesh of the bollock, and his skin, and his dung thou dost burn with fire at the outside of the camp. It is a sin offering. And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram, and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken its blood, and hast sprinkled it on the altar round about, and the ram thou dost cut into its pieces, and hast washed its inwards, and its legs, and hast put them on its pieces, and on its head, and thou hast made perfume with the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, a fire offering it is to Jehovah, and thou hast taken the second ram, and Aaron hath laid his sons also their hands on the head of the ram, and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken of its blood, and hast put on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot, and hast sprinkled the blood on the altar round about, and thou hast taken of the blood which is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and hast sprinkled on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he hath been hallowed, he and his garments, and his sons and the garments of his sons with him, and thou hast taken from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundants on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, and the right leg, for it is a ram of consecration, and one round cake of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one thin cake out of the basket of the unleavened things which is before Jehovah, and thou hast set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and hast waved them a wave offering before Jehovah, and thou hast taken them out of their hand, and hast made perfume on the altar beside the burnt offering, for sweet fragrance before Jehovah, a fire offering it is to Jehovah, and thou hast taken the breast from the ram of the consecration which is for Aaron, and hast waved it, a wave offering before Jehovah, and it hath become thy portion, and thou hast sanctified the breast of the wave offering, and the leg of the heave offering which hath been waved, and which hath been lifted up from the ram of the consecration of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons, and it hath been for Aaron and for his sons by a statute aged during from the sons of Israel, for it is a heave offering, and it is a heave offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, their heave offering to Jehovah, and the holy garments which are Aaron's are for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to consecrate in them their hand, seven days doth the priest in his stead of his sons put them on, when he goeth in unto the tent of meeting to minister in the sanctuary, and the ram of the consecration thou dost take, and hast boiled its flesh in the holy place, and Aaron hath eaten his sons also the flesh of the ram, and the bread which is in the basket at the opening of the tent of meeting, and they have eaten those things by which there is atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them, and a stranger doth not eat, for they are holy, and if there be left of the flesh of the consecration or of the bread till the morning, then thou hast burned that which is left with fire, it is not eaten, for it is holy, and thou hast done thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee, seven days thou dost consecrate their hand, and a bullock, a sin offering, thou dost prepare daily for the atonements, and thou hast atoned for the altar in thy making atonement on it, and hast anointed it to sanctify it, seven days thou dost make atonement for the altar, and hast sanctified it, and the altar hath been most holy, all that is coming against the altar is holy, and this is that which thou dost prepare on the altar, two lambs, sons of a year daily continually, the one lamb thou dost prepare in the morning, and the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings, and a tenth deal a fine flower mixed with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hen, and a libation, a fourth part of a hen of wine, is for the one lamb, and the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings, according to the present of the morning, and according to its libation thou dost prepare for it, for sweet fragrance a fire offering to Jehovah. A continual burnt offering for your generations at the opening of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, whether I am met with you to speak unto thee there, and I have met there with the sons of Israel, and it hath been sanctified by my honor, and I have sanctified the tent of meeting and the altar, and Aaron and his sons I sanctify for being priests to me, and I have tabernackled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God, and they have known that I am Jehovah their God, who hath brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may tabernackle in their midst, I am Jehovah their God. CHAPTER XXX And thou hast made an altar for making perfume, of shittom wood thou dost make it, a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth, it is square, and two cubits its height, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns, and thou hast made to it a crown of gold round about, and two rings of gold thou dost make to it under its crown, on its two ribs thou dost make them, on its two sides, and they have become places for staves to bear it with them, and thou hast made the staves of shittom wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and thou hast put it before the veil which is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat which is over the testimony, whither I am met with thee. And Aaron hath made perfume on it, perfume of spices morning by morning, in his making the lamps right he doth perfume it, and in Aaron's causing the lamps to go up between the evenings he doth perfume it, a continual perfume before Jehovah to your generations. Ye do not cause strange perfume to go up upon it, and burnt offering, and present, and libation ye do not pour out on it. And Aaron hath made atonement on its horns, once in a year by the blood of the sin offering of atonements, once in a year doth he make atonement for it to your generations. It is most holy to Jehovah, and Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, When thou takest up the sum of the sons of Israel for their numbers, then they have given each an atonement for his soul to Jehovah in their being numbered, and there is no plague among them in their being numbered. This they do give, everyone passing over unto those numbered, hath a shekel by the shekel of the sanctuary, the shekel is twenty garras, hath a shekel is the heave offering to Jehovah, everyone passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards doth give the heave offering of Jehovah, the rich doth not multiply, and the poor doth not diminish from the half shekel to give the heave offering of Jehovah to make atonement for your souls. And thou hast taken the atonement money from the sons of Israel, and hast given it for the service of the tent of meeting, and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a memorial before Jehovah to make atonement for your souls. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, And thou hast made a laver of brass, and its base of brass, for washing, and thou hast put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there. And Aaron and his sons have washed at it their hands and their feet, in their going in unto the tent of meeting they wash with water, and die not. Or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister, to perform a fire offering to Jehovah, then they have washed their hands and their feet, and they die not, and it hath been to them a statute age-during, to him and to his seed, to their generations. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, And thou take to thyself principal spices, wild honey five hundred shekels, and spice cinnamon, the half of that two hundred and fifty, and spice cane two hundred and fifty, and cassia five hundred by the shekel of the sanctuary, and olive oil a hin, and thou hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder. It is a holy anointing oil, and thou hast anointed with it the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of perfume, and the altar of bird offering and all its vessels, and the labor and its base. And thou hast sanctified them, and they have been most holy. All that is coming against them is holy. And Aaron and his sons thou dost anoint, and hast sanctified them for being priests to me. And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, A holy anointing oil is this to me, to your generations. On flesh of man it is not poured, and with its proper proportion ye make none like it. It is holy, it is holy to you. A man who compoundeth any like it, or who puteth of it on a stranger hath even been cut off from his people. And Jehovah sayeth unto Moses, Take to these spices Stacti, and Onica, and Galbanum, spices, and pure frankincense, they are part for part. And thou hast made it a perfume, a compound, work of a compounder, salted, pure, holy. And thou hast beaten some of it small, and hast put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, whether I am met with thee. Most holy it is to you. As to the perfume which thou makest with its proper proportion ye do not make to yourselves, Holy it is to thee, to Jehovah. A man who maketh any like it, to be refreshed by it, hath even been cut off from his people.

Chapters 31 through 35 of the book of Exodus from the Young's Literal Translation. CHAPTER 31 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaliel, son of Urai, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I fill him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all work, to devise devices to work in gold and in silver and in brass and in graving of stone for settings and in graving of wood to work in all work, and I, lo, I have given with him a holy ab, son of Ahisomak, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every wise-hearted one I have given wisdom, and they have made all that which I have commanded thee. The tent of meeting and the ark of testimony, and the mercy-seat which is on it, and all the vessels of the tent, and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick and all its vessels, and the altar of the perfume, and the altar of the burnt offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, and the colored garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for acting as priests in, and the anointing oil and the perfume of the spices for the sanctuary, and the anointing to all that I have commanded thee, they do, and Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, And thou speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Only my Sabbaths ye do keep, for it is a sign between me and you to your generations to know that I, Jehovah, am sanctifying you, and ye have kept the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. He who is polluting it is certainly put to death, for any who doeth work in it, that person hath even been cut off from the midst of his people. Six days is work done, and in the seventh day is a Sabbath of holy rest to Jehovah. Any who doeth work in the Sabbath day is certainly put to death, and the sons of Israel have observed the Sabbath, to keep the Sabbath to their generations is a covenant age during. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a sign to the age. For six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day he hath ceased and is refreshed. And he giveth unto Moses when he finishedeth speaking with him in Mount Sinai two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written by the finger of God. CHAPTER 32 And the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mount, and the people assemble against Aaron and say unto him, Rise, make for us gods who go before us, for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him, and Aaron sayeth unto them, Break off the rings of gold which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring in unto me. And all the people themselves break off the rings of gold which are in their ears, and bring in unto Aaron. And he receiveth from their hand, and doth fashion it with a graving tool, and doth make it a molten calf, and they say, These thy gods, O Israel, who brought the up out of the land of Egypt, and Aaron seeeth, and buildeth an altar before it, and Aaron calleth and sayeth, A festival to Jehovah, tomorrow. And they rise early on the morrow, and cause burnt offerings to ascend, and bring nigh peace offerings, and the people sit down to eat and to drink and rise up to play. And Jehovah sayeth unto Moses, Go, descend, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt hath done corruptly, they have turned aside hastily from the way that I have commanded them, they have made for themselves a molten calf, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These thy gods, O Israel, who brought the up out of the land of Egypt. And Jehovah sayeth unto Moses, I have seen this people, and lo, it is a stiff-necked people, and now let me alone, and my anger doth burn against them, and I consume them, and I make thee become a great nation. And Moses appeaseth the face of Jehovah his God, and sayeth, Why, O Jehovah, doth thine anger burn against thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a strong hand. Why do the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil he brought them out to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? Turn back from the heat of thine anger, and repent of the evil against thy people. Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel thy servants, to whom thou hast sworn by thyself, and unto whom thou speakest. I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land as I have said I give to your seed, and they have inherited to the age. And Jehovah repenteth of the evil which he hath spoken of doing to his people. And Moses turneth and goeth down from them out, and the two tables of the testimony are in his hand, tables written on both their sides, on this and on that are they written. And the tables are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, graven on the tables. And Joshua heareth the voice of the people in their shouting, and sayeth unto Moses, a noise of battle in the camp, and he sayeth, it is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness, a voice of singing I am hearing. And it cometh to pass when he hath drawn near unto the camp, that he seeeth the calf and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burneth, and he casteth out of his hands the tables, and breaketh them under the mount. And he takeeth the calf which they have made, and burneth it with fire, and grindeth until it is small, and scattereth on the face of the waters, and causeth the sons of Israel to drink. And Moses sayeth unto Aaron, what hath this people done to thee, that thou hast brought in upon it a great sin? And Aaron sayeth, what not the anger of my Lord burn, thou, thou hast known the people that it is in evil? And they say to me, make for us gods who go before us, for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him. And I say to them, who so hath gold let them break it off, and they give it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf cometh out. And Moses seeeth the people that it is unbridled, for Aaron hath made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders, and Moses standeth in the gate of the camp, and sayeth, who is for Jehovah unto me? And all the sons of Levi are gathered unto him, and he sayeth to them, thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, put each his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and slay each his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation. And the sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses, and there fall of the people on that day about 3,000 men. And Moses sayeth, consecrate your hand today to Jehovah, for a man is against his son and against his brother, so as to bring on you today a blessing. And it cometh to pass on the morrow that Moses sayeth unto the people, ye, ye have sinned a great sin, and now I go up unto Jehovah, if so be I atoned for your sin. And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and sayeth, oh, this people hath sinned a great sin, that they make to themselves a God of gold. And now, if thou takest away their sin, and if not, blot me, I pray thee out of thy book, which thou hast written. And Jehovah sayeth unto Moses, who so hath sinned against me, I blot him out of my book. And now go, lead the people wither, so ever I have spoken to thee of. Low, my messenger, goeth before thee, and in the day of my charging, then I have charged upon them their sin. And Jehovah plagueeth the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. Chapter 33. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, go, ascend from this place, thou and the people, whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, to thy seed I give it. And I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Parasite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in thy midst, for thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee in the way. And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn, and none put his ornaments on him. And Jehovah sayeth unto Moses, say unto the sons of Israel, ye are a stiff-necked people, one moment, I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee, and now put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee. And the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horab. And Moses taketh the tent, and hath stretched it out at the outside of the camp, afar off from the camp, and hath called it tent of meeting. And it hath come to pass, every one seeking Jehovah goeth out unto the tent of meeting, which is at the outside of the camp. And it hath come to pass, at the going out of Moses, unto the tent, all the people rise and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until he's going into the tent. And it hath come to pass, at the going in of Moses, to the tent, the pillar of the cloud cometh down, and hath stood at the opening of the tent, and he hath spoken with Moses, and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent. And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, and he hath turned back unto the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth not out of the tent. And Moses saith unto Jehovah, see, thou art saying unto me, bring up this people, and thou hast not caused me to know whom thou dost send with me, and thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in mine eyes. And now, if I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, cause me to know I pray thee thy way, and I know thee so that I find grace in thine eyes, and consider that this nation is thy people. And he saith, my presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee. And he saith unto him, if thy presence is not going, take us not up from this place. And in what is it known now that I have found grace in thine eyes, I and thy people, is it not in thy going with us? And we have been distinguished, I and thy people, from all the people who are on the face of the ground. And Jehovah saith unto Moses, even this thing which thou hast spoken, I do, for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name. And he saith, shoo me, I pray thee, thine honor. And he saith, I cause all my goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the name of Jehovah before thee, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love. He saith also, thou art unable to see my face, for man doth not see me and live. Jehovah also saith, lo, a place is by me, and thou hast stood on the rock, and it hath come to pass in the passing by of mine honor, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out my hands over thee until my passing by, and I have turned aside my hands, and thou hast seen my back parts, and my face is not seen. Chapter 34 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first, and I have written on the tables the words which were on the first tables, which thou hast broken, and be prepared at morning, and thou hast come up in the morning unto Mount Sinai, and hast stood before me there on the top of the mount. And no man cometh up with thee, and also no man is seen in all the mount. Also the flock and the herd do not feed over against that mount. And he heweth two tables of stone like the first, and Moses riseth early in the morning, and goeth up unto Mount Sinai as Jehovah commanded him, and he taketh in his hand two tables of stone. And Jehovah cometh down in a cloud, and stationeth himself with him there, and calleth in the name of Jehovah, and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in kindness and truth, keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity and transgression and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children and on children's children, on a third generation and on a fourth, and Moses hasteth and boweth to the earth and doth obeisance and sayeth, If I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, O my Lord, let my Lord I pray thee go in our midst, for it is a stiff-necked people, and thou hast forgiven our iniquity and our sin, and hast inherited us. And he sayeth, Lo, I am making a covenant before all thy people, I do wonders, which have not been done in all the earth or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst thou art have seen the work of Jehovah, for it is fearful that which I am doing with thee. Observe for thyself that which I am commanding thee today. Lo, I am casting out from before thee the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Parasite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land into which thou art going, lest it become a snare in thy midst, for their altars ye break down and their standing pillars ye shiver and its shrines ye cut down, for ye do not bow yourselves to another God, for Jehovah, whose name is Zellis, is a Zellis God. Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, and they have gone ahorring after their gods and have sacrificed to their gods and one hath called to thee and thou hast eaten of his sacrifice, and thou hast taken of their daughters to thy sons, and their daughters have gone ahorring after their gods and have caused thy sons to go ahorring after their gods. A molten God thou dost not make to thyself. The feast of unleavened things thou dost keep, seven days thou dost eat unleavened things as I have commanded thee at an appointed time, the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib thou didst come out from Egypt. All opening a womb are mine, and every firstling of thy cattle-born, a male, ox or sheep, and the firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb, and if thou dost not ransom, then thou hast beheaded it. Every firstborn of thy sons thou dost ransom, and they do not appear before me empty. Six days thou dost work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest, in plowing time and in harvest, thou dost rest. And a feast of weeks thou dost observe for thyself, first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the revolution of the year. Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, God of Israel, for I dispossess nations from before thee, and have enlarged thy border, and no man doth desire thy land, and thy going up to appear before Jehovah thy God, three times in a year. Thou dost not slaughter with a fermented thing the blood of my sacrifice, and the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover, doth not remain till morning. The first of the first fruits of the land thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God, thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk. And Jehovah sayeth unto Moses, write for thyself these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made with thee a covenant and with Israel, and he is there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights, bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk, and he righteth on the tables the matters of the covenant, the ten matters. And it cometh to pass when Moses coming down from Mount Sinai, and the two tables of the testimony are in the hand of Moses, in his coming down from the mount, that Moses hath not known that the skin of his face hath shown in his speaking with him, and Aaron seeeth, all the sons of Israel also, Moses, and lo, the skin of his face hath shown, and they are afraid of coming nigh unto him. And Moses calleth unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the company return unto him, and Moses speaketh unto them. And afterwards have all the sons of Israel come nigh, and he chargeeth them with all that Jehovah hath spoken with him in Mount Sinai. And Moses finisheth speaking with them, and puteth on his face a veil. And in the going in of Moses before Jehovah to speak with him, he turneth aside the veil until his coming out, and he hath come out and hath spoken unto the sons of Israel, that which he is commanded. And the sons of Israel have seen the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses hath shown, and Moses hath put back the veil on his face, until his going in to speak with him. CHAPTER 35 And Moses assembleeth all the company of the sons of Israel, and sayeth unto them, These are the things which Jehovah hath commanded to do them. Six days is work done, and on the seventh day there is to you a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to Jehovah. Any who doeth work in it is put to death. Ye do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day. And Moses speaketh unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded saying, Take ye from among you a heave offering to Jehovah, everyone whose heart is willing doth bring it, the heave offering of Jehovah, gold and silver and brass, and blue and purple and scarlet and linen and goats hair, and rams skins made red, and badgers skins, and shittum wood, and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice perfume, and choham stones, and stones for settings for an ephod, and for a breast plate. And all the wise hearted among you come in, and make all that Jehovah hath commanded, the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets, the ark, and its staves, the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering, the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the bread of the presence, and the candlestick for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light, and the altar of perfume, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the spice perfume, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the tabernacle, the altar of burnt offering, and the brazen great which it hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver, and its base, the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court, the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, the colored garments to do service in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to act as priest in, and all the company of the sons of Israel go out from the presence of Moses, and they come in, every man whom his heart hath lifted up, and everyone whom his spirit hath made willing, they have brought in the heave offering of Jehovah for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments, and they come in, the men with the women, every willing hearted one, they have brought in nose ring, and ear ring, and seal ring, and necklace, all golden goods, even everyone who hath waved a wave offering of gold to Jehovah, and every man with whom hath been found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats hair, and rams, skins made red, and badgers, skins, have brought them in. Everyone lifting up a heave offering of silver and brass have brought in the heave offering of Jehovah, and everyone with whom hath been found shittim would for any work of the service brought it in, and every wise hearted woman hath spun with her hands, and they bring in yarn, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the linen, and all the women whose heart hath lifted them up in wisdom have spun the goats hair, and the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate, and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the spice perfume. Every man and woman, whom their heart hath made willing to bring in for all the work which Jehovah commanded to be done by the hand of Moses, of the sons of Israel brought in a willing offering to Jehovah, and Moses saith unto the sons of Israel, see, Jehovah hath called by name Bazaliel, son of Urai, son of her, of the tribe of Judah, and he doth fill him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, even to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in graving of stones for settings, and in graving of wood to work in any work of design, and to direct he hath put in his heart, he and a holy ab, son of a hissamak of the tribe of Dan. He hath filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in linen, and weaver, who do any work, and of designers of designs. The end of chapters 31-35 of the book of Exodus from the Young's Literal Translation, recording by Mark Penfold. Chapters 36-40 of Exodus from the Young's Literal Translation of the Bible. This is the end of chapters 32-40 of the Book of Exodus from the Young's Literal Translation. Chapter 36 And Bezaliel, and a holy ab, and every wise-hearted man in whom Jehovah hath given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the sanctuary, have done according to all that Jehovah commanded, and Moses coloth unto Bezaliel, and Jehovah hath given wisdom and understanding, and all that Jehovah commanded, and Moses coloth unto Bezaliel, and unto a holy ab, and unto every wise-hearted man in whose heart Jehovah hath given wisdom, everyone whom his heart lifted up, to come near unto the work to do it. And they take from before Moses all the heave offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the sanctuary to do it, and still they have brought in unto him a willing offering morning by morning, and all the wise men who are doing all the work of the sanctuary come each from his work which they are doing, and speak unto Moses, saying, The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make, and Moses commanded, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, Let not man or woman make any more work for the heave offering of the sanctuary, and the people are restrained from bringing, and the work hath been sufficient for them, for all the work to do it, and to leave. And all the wise hearted ones among the doers of the work make the tabernacle, ten curtains of twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet, with cherubs, work of a designer he hath made them. The length of the one curtain is eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain, four by the cubit. One measure is to all the curtains. And he joineth the five curtains one unto another, and the other five curtains he hath joined one unto another. And he maketh loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain at the end in the joining, so he hath made in the edge of the outmost curtain in the joining of the second. Fifty loops he hath made in the one curtain, and fifty loops hath he made in the end of the curtain, which is in the joining of the second. The loops are taking hold one on another.

According to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done all the service, and Moses seeeth all the work, and lo, they have done it as Jehovah hath commanded, so they have done, and Moses doth bless them. CHAPTER 40 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the veil, and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up, and thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle, and hast put the altar of the burnt offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there, and thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court, and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy. And thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy. And thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it. And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water, and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him. And he hath acted as priest to me, and his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats, and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood, age during, to their generations. And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him, so he hath done. And it cometh to pass in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up. And Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and seteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars, and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and puteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. And he taketh and puteth the testimony unto the ark, and seteth the staves on the ark, and puteth the mercy seat on the ark above, and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the veil of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. And he puteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the veil, and seteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. And he puteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward, and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. And he seteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil, and maketh perfume on it, spice perfume, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. And he seteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle, and the altar of the burnt offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt offering to go up upon it, and the present as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. And he puteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and puteth water there for washing. And Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same. In their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court. And Moses completeth the work. And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honor of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle, and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honor of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle. And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle, the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys. And if the cloud go not up, then they journey not until the day of its going up. For the cloud of Jehovah is on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
