And

he made Junto it a border of lan' handbreadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border 13 thereof round about. And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were 14 on the four feet thereof. I Close by the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the

15 table. And he made the staves of lacacia wood, and overlaid them with 16 gold, to bear the table. And he made the vessels which were upon the table, the dishes thereof, and Ithe spoons thereof', and 'the' bowls Ithereof, and 'the flagons thereof1, to "pour out withal, of pure gold. 17) And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick, leven its base', and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, were of 'one piece with 18 it and there were six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other 19 side thereof: three 'cups' made 'like

And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, foursquare; and two cubits was the height thereof; the horns thereof were of 'one piece (26 with it. And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: 'and' he made unto it a (27) crown of gold round about. And he made for it two 'golden rings under the crown thereof, upon the two Iribs thereof, upon the two sides of it, for places for staves to bear it 28 withal. And he made the staves

and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors' of the serving' women which served at the door of the 'tent' of 'meeting'.

And he made the court: 'for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, 10 an hundred cubits: their pillars were

twenty, and their sockets twenty, lof brass; the hooks of the pillars and (11) their fillets were of silver.

And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 18 And the screen' for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer', of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court. 19) And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver. 20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.

of the tribe of Judah, made all that 23 the LORD commanded Moses. And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, 1an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

24

All the gold that was used' for the work in all the work of the 'sanctuary', even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of 26 the sanctuary: a beka 'a head', that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that 'passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and 27 fifty men. And the hundred talents of silver were 'for casting' the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; an hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. 28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and 'made fillets for 29 them. And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thou30 sand and four hundred shekels. And

therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting', and the brasen altar, and the brasen grating for it, and all the vessels of the 31) altar, and the sockets of the court

round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

391 And of the blue, and purple, and

scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering! in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

5And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine 3) twined linen. And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and

in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, 'the' work of the 4 cunning workman'. "They made shoulderpieces for it, joined together: at the two lends was it 5 joined together. And the Icunningly woven band', that was upon it, to gird it on withal', was of the same piece and like! the work thereof; of gold, of1 blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

6

And they wrought the onyx stones, inclosed in ouches of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the chil1 dren of Israel. And he put them on the 'shoulderpieces of the ephod, Ito be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

8) 1And he made the breastplate, 'the' work of the cunning workman', like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine 9 twined linen. It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being (10 double'. And they set in it four rows of stones: la row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first 11 row. And the second row, an emer12 ald, a sapphire, and a diamond. And

the third row, a jacinth', an agate, 13 and an amethyst. And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold 14) in their settings. And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, 'for the twelve tribes. 15 And they made upon the breastplate

chains like cords, of wreathen work 16 of pure gold. And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings on the two 17 ends of the breastplate. And they put the two wreathen chains of gold lon the two rings 'at' the ends of the 18 breastplate. And the other two

ends of the two wreathen chains they 'put on the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod,

2 See ch. xxviii. 31-34.

19 in the forepart thereof. And they made two rings of gold, and put them Jupon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the ledge thereof, which was toward the side of the ephod (20 inward. And they made two rings lof gold', and put them on the two Ishoulderpieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the Icunningly woven band' of the ephod. 21 And they did bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be lupon the cunningly woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod: as the LORD commanded Moses.

22

2And he made the robe of the ephod 23) of woven work, all of blue; and the hole of the robe in the midst thereof', as the hole of la coat of mail', with a 'binding round about the hole of it', 24 that it should not be rent!. "And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, 25 and scarlet, and twined linen. And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round 26) about, between the pomegranates; a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.

33

according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, 'its! bars, and its pillars, and its sock34 ets; and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of the 'screen'; 35 °the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy-seat; (36 the table, all the vessels thereof, and (37 the shewbread; the pure candle

stick, the lamps thereof, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for 38 the light; and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen' for the door 39 of the Tent'; the brasen altar, and lits grating of brass, 'its' staves, and all its vessels, the laver and lits 40) base; the hangings of the court, 'its! pillars, and its sockets, and the Iscreen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins 'thereof, and all the instruments' of the service of the tabernacle, for the 41) tent of 'meeting!; the 'finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and 'the' garments of his sons', to minister in the 42 priest's office. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it and Moses blessed them. 401 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, On the first day of the first month shalt thou 'rear' up the taber3) nacle of the tent of meeting!. And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and 'thou shalt screen' the (4 ark with the veil. And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and (5 light the lamps thereof. And thou shalt set the golden' altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen' of the door to the (6 tabernacle. And thou shalt set the altar of burnt offering before the door

1 Or, porpoise\-skins

of the tabernacle of the tent of 'meet7 ing. And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of 'meeting' and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 8) And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the 'screen 9 of the gate of the court. And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the 'furniture thereof: and it shall be holy. (10) And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar and 'the' altar 11 shall be most holy. And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base', and 12 sanctify it. And thou shalt bring

Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of 'meeting', and 'shalt 13 wash them with water. And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister 14) unto me in the priest's office. And

thou shalt bring his sons, and 'put' (15 coats upon them: and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: land' their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout 16 their generations. Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

17

And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle 18 was reared up. And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its' sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared (19 up 'its' pillars. And he spread the

tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; 20 as the LORD commanded Moses. And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above 21 upon the ark: and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the 'screen', and 'screened' the ark of the testimony; as the LORD 22 commanded Moses. "And he put the table in the tent of 'meeting', upon the side of the tabernacle northward, with(23 out the veil. And he set the bread

2 Or, Iset upl

in order upon it before the LORD; as 24 the LORD commanded Moses. And he put the candlestick in the tent of Imeeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25 °And he 1lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded 26 Moses. And he put the golden altar in the tent of 'meeting' before the 27) veil: and he burnt thereon incense

lof sweet spices; as the LORD com28 manded Moses. And he put the 'screen of the door to the tabernacle. 29 And he 'set' the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of 'meeting', and offered upon it the burnt offering and the 'meal' offering; as the LORD com30 manded Moses. And he set the laver between the tent of Imeeting! and the altar, and put water 'therein', 31 to wash withal. 02And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands 32 and their feet thereat; when they went into the tent of meeting', and

when they came near unto the altar, they washed: as the LORD commanded 33) Moses. And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen' of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of 'meeting, and the glory of the 35 LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting', because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the 36 LORD filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all 37 their journeys: but if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not 38) till the day that it was taken up. °For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and 'there! was fire therein' by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

11

AND the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the 'tent! 2 of 'meeting', saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth' an oblation unto the LORD, ye shall offer your oblation' of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.

3

If his oblation' be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer it' a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the 'tent' of 'meeting, that he may be accepted' before the LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to 5) make atonement for him. And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall 'present the blood, and sprinkle the

1 Or, Iset up

blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the Itent of Imeet6 ing. And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into its1 pieces. (7 And the sons of Aaron the priest

10

shall put fire upon the altar, and lay 8) wood in order upon the fire: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the 'pieces', the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire 9 which is upon the altar: but its inwards and its legs shall he wash Iwith water: and the priest shall burn Ithe whole on the altar, 'for a burnt loffering', an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

And if his oblation' be of the 'flock', of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt offering; he shall offer it 11) a male without blemish. And he
