Chapter 4

02:032:010 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

02:032:011 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doththy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast broughtforth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with amighty hand?

02:032:012 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischiefdid he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and toconsume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fiercewrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

02:032:013 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

02:032:014 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

02:032:015 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

02:032:016 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was thewriting of God, graven upon the tables.

02:032:017 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted,he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

02:032:018 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

02:032:019 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

02:032:020 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

02:032:021 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee,that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

02:032:022 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thouknowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

02:032:023 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us:for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of theland of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

02:032:024 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them breakit off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, andthere came out this calf.

02:032:025 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)

02:032:026 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

02:032:027 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

02:032:028 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses:and there fell of the people that day about three thousandmen.

02:032:029 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD,even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he maybestow upon you a blessing this day.

02:032:030 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto thepeople, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up untothe LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

02:032:031 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this peoplehave sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

02:032:032 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blotme, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

02:032:033 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned againstme, him will I blot out of my book.

02:032:034 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

02:032:035 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

02:033:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

02:033:002 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out theCanaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

02:033:003 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go upin the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lestI consume thee in the way.

02:033:004 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

02:033:005 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

02:033:006 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

02:033:007 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

02:033:008 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

02:033:009 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, thecloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of thetabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.

02:033:010 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at thetabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped,every man in his tent door.

02:033:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speakethunto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but hisservant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not outof the tabernacle.

02:033:012 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bringup this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wiltsend with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, andthou hast also found grace in my sight.

02:033:013 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thysight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I mayfind grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thypeople.

02:033:014 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will givethee rest.

02:033:015 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry usnot up hence.

02:033:016 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

02:033:017 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

02:033:018 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

02:033:019 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

02:033:020 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall noman see me, and live.

02:033:021 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thoushalt stand upon a rock:

02:033:022 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

02:033:023 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

02:034:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stonelike unto the first: and I will write upon these tables thewords that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

02:034:002 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning untomount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of themount.

02:034:003 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man beseen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks norherds feed before that mount.

02:034:004 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

02:034:005 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

02:034:006 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

02:034:007 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

02:034:008 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

02:034:009 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

02:034:010 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

02:034:011 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, Idrive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and theHittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

02:034:012 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with theinhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for asnare in the midst of thee:

02:034:013 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cutdown their groves:

02:034:014 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose nameis Jealous, is a jealous God:

02:034:015 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land,and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice untotheir gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

02:034:016 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and theirdaughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons goa whoring after their gods.

02:034:017 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

02:034:018 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

02:034:019 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

02:034:020 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

02:034:021 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

02:034:022 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

02:034:023 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.

02:034:024 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

02:034:025 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven;neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover beleft unto the morning.

02:034:026 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring untothe house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid inhis mother's milk.

02:034:027 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: forafter the tenor of these words I have made a covenant withthee and with Israel.

02:034:028 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; hedid neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon thetables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

02:034:029 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

02:034:030 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid tocome nigh him.

02:034:031 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers ofthe congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked withthem.

02:034:032 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and hegave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with himin mount Sinai.

02:034:033 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.

02:034:034 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, hetook the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, andspake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

02:034:035 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that theskin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon hisface again, until he went in to speak with him.

02:035:001 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children ofIsrael together, and said unto them, These are the words whichthe LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.

02:035:002 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day thereshall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD:whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

02:035:003 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

02:035:004 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children ofIsrael, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded,saying,

02:035:005 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever isof a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD;gold, and silver, and brass,

02:035:006 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats'hair,

02:035:007 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittimwood,

02:035:008 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and forthe sweet incense,

02:035:009 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and forthe breastplate.

02:035:010 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all thatthe LORD hath commanded;

02:035:011 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, andhis boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

02:035:012 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and thevail of the covering,

02:035:013 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and theshewbread,

02:035:014 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and hislamps, with the oil for the light,

02:035:015 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

02:035:016 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, hisstaves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

02:035:017 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, andthe hanging for the door of the court,

02:035:018 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, andtheir cords,

02:035:019 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

02:035:020 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

02:035:021 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'soffering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation,and for all his service, and for the holy garments.

02:035:022 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willinghearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, andtablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offeredoffered an offering of gold unto the LORD.

02:035:023 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, andscarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins oframs, and badgers' skins, brought them.

02:035:024 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brassbrought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom wasfound shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.

02:035:025 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with theirhands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, andof purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.

02:035:026 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spungoats' hair.

02:035:027 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, forthe ephod, and for the breastplate;

02:035:028 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil,and for the sweet incense.

02:035:029 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

02:035:030 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hathcalled by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of thetribe of Judah;

02:035:031 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, inunderstanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner ofworkmanship;

02:035:032 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver,and in brass,

02:035:033 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving ofwood, to make any manner of cunning work.

02:035:034 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, andAholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

02:035:035 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

02:036:001 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

02:036:002 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

02:036:003 And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

02:036:004 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

02:036:005 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

02:036:006 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

02:036:007 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

02:036:008 And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

02:036:009 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

02:036:010 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

02:036:011 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from theselvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermostside of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

02:036:012 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he inthe edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of thesecond: the loops held one curtain to another.

02:036:013 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains oneunto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

02:036:014 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over thetabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

02:036:015 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

02:036:016 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

02:036:017 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

02:036:018 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together,that it might be one.

02:036:019 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red,and a covering of badgers' skins above that.

02:036:020 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood,standing up.

02:036:021 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of aboard one cubit and a half.

02:036:022 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another:thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

02:036:023 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for thesouth side southward:

02:036:024 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

02:036:025 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward thenorth corner, he made twenty boards,

02:036:026 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under oneboard, and two sockets under another board.

02:036:027 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made sixboards.

02:036:028 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle inthe two sides.

02:036:029 And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

02:036:030 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteensockets of silver, under every board two sockets.

02:036:031 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of theone side of the tabernacle,

02:036:032 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

02:036:033 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.

02:036:034 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

02:036:035 And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.

02:036:036 And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

02:036:037 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;

02:036:038 And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaidtheir chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their fivesockets were of brass.

02:037:001 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and ahalf was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadthof it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

02:037:002 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

02:037:003 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

02:037:004 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them withgold.

02:037:005 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark,to bear the ark.

02:037:006 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

02:037:007 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

02:037:008 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

02:037:009 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

02:037:010 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:

02:037:011 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crownof gold round about.

02:037:012 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about;and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

02:037:013 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings uponthe four corners that were in the four feet thereof.

02:037:014 Over against the border were the rings, the places for thestaves to bear the table.

02:037:015 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them withgold, to bear the table.

02:037:016 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes,and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal,of pure gold.

02:037:017 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work madehe the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, hisknops, and his flowers, were of the same:

02:037:018 And six branches going out of the sides thereof; threebranches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, andthree branches of the candlestick out of the other sidethereof:

02:037:019 Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, aknop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds inanother branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the sixbranches going out of the candlestick.

02:037:020 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

02:037:021 And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

02:037:022 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it wasone beaten work of pure gold.

02:037:023 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and hissnuffdishes, of pure gold.

02:037:026 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and thesides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he madeunto it a crown of gold round about.

02:038:004 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under thecompass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.

02:038:005 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate ofbrass, to be places for the staves.

02:038:006 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them withbrass.

02:038:007 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of thealtar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow withboards.

02:038:008 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass,of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembledat the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

02:038:009 And he made the court: on the south side southward thehangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundredcubits:

02:038:019 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.

02:038:020 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.

02:038:021 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

02:038:022 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

02:038:023 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

02:038:024 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work ofthe holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty andnine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after theshekel of the sanctuary.

02:038:025 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregationwas an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred andthreescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of thesanctuary:

02:038:031 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets ofthe court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and allthe pins of the court round about.

02:039:001 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths ofservice, to do service in the holy place, and made the holygarments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

02:039:002 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

02:039:003 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, with cunning work.

02:039:004 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

02:039:005 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

02:039:006 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold,graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the childrenof Israel.

02:039:007 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that theyshould be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; asthe LORD commanded Moses.

02:039:008 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work ofthe ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and finetwined linen.

02:039:009 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a spanwas the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, beingdoubled.

02:039:010 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

02:039:011 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

02:039:012 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

02:039:013 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

02:039:014 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 with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

02:039:015 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, ofwreathen work of pure gold.

02:039:016 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and putthe two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

02:039:017 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two ringson the ends of the breastplate.

02:039:018 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened inthe two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of theephod, before it.

02:039:019 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two endsof the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on theside of the ephod inward.

02:039:020 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the twosides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, overagainst the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdleof the ephod.

02:039:021 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the ringsof the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above thecurious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate mightnot be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

02:039:022 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

02:039:023 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

02:039:024 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

02:039:025 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells betweenthe pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about betweenthe pomegranates;

02:039:026 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, roundabout the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORDcommanded Moses.

02:039:027 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, andfor his sons,

02:039:028 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen,and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

02:039:029 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, andscarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.

02:039:030 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

02:039:031 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.

02:039:032 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of thecongregation finished: and the children of Israel didaccording to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

02:039:033 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and allhis furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and hispillars, and his sockets,

02:039:034 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering ofbadgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,

02:039:035 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and themercy seat,

02:039:036 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

02:039:037 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

02:039:038 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweetincense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

02:039:039 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and allhis vessels, the laver and his foot,

02:039:040 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

02:039:041 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.

02:039:042 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.

02:039:043 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

02:040:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

02:040:002 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up thetabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

02:040:003 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and coverthe ark with the vail.

02:040:004 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the thingsthat are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring inthe candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

02:040:005 And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense beforethe ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door tothe tabernacle.

02:040:006 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before thedoor of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

02:040:007 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of thecongregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

02:040:008 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up thehanging at the court gate.

02:040:009 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint thetabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, andall the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

02:040:010 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and allhis vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altarmost holy.

02:040:011 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

02:040:012 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

02:040:013 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

02:040:014 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

02:040:015 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

02:040:016 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him,so did he.

02:040:017 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, onthe first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

02:040:018 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets,and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof,and reared up his pillars.

02:040:019 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put thecovering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commandedMoses.

02:040:020 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

02:040:021 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

02:040:022 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon theside of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

02:040:023 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as theLORD had commanded Moses.

02:040:024 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

02:040:025 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORDcommanded Moses.

02:040:026 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregationbefore the vail:

02:040:027 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commandedMoses.

02:040:028 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

02:040:029 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

02:040:030 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation andthe altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

02:040:031 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and theirfeet thereat:

02:040:032 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and whenthey came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORDcommanded Moses.

02:040:033 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and thealtar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Mosesfinished the work.

02:040:034 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

02:040:035 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

02:040:036 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, thechildren of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

02:040:037 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed nottill the day that it was taken up.

02:040:038 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
