they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were 1a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were 11 the 'very' heaven 'for' clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: 'and' they 'beheld' God, and did eat and drink.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there and I will give thee 'the' tables of stone, and 'the' law and the commandment', which I have written, 13) that thou mayest teach them. And

Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister and Moses went up into the 14 mount of God. And he said unto

the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: Iwhosoever hath a cause', let him come 'near 15 unto them. And Moses went up into the mount, and 'the' cloud covered the 16 mount. And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out 17 of the midst of the cloud. ° And the

Jappearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children 18 of Israel. And Moses 'entered' into the midst of the cloud, and 'went up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. 251 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Speak unto the children of

Israel, that they take for me an 2offering of every man whose heart Imaketh him willing ye shall take my 3 offering. And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and 4 silver, and brass; °and blue, and pur

ple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and 5 goats' hair; and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins', and 'acacia wood; 6 oil for the light, spices for 'the anointing oil, and for the sweet in7 cense; onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and 'for the 8 breastplate. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell 'among' (9 them. According to all that I shew thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the 'furniture! thereof, even so shall ye make it. 10 And they shall make an ark of

And make one cherub 'at' the one end, and lonel cherub at the other end: 11of lone piece with the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two 20 ends thereof. And the cherubim' shall 'spread out' their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the 21 faces of the cherubim be.
