Ex. 25:1‑30:38• 1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me a heave-offering: of every one whose heart prompteth him, ye shall take my heave-offering.
3And this is the heave-offering that ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and copper,
4and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and byssus, and goats' hair,
5and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins; and acacia-wood;
6oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs;
7onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8And they shall make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9According to all that I shall shew thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the utensils thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10And they shall make an ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold: inside and outside shalt thou overlay it; and shalt make upon it a border of gold round about.
12And cast four rings of gold for it, and put them at the four corners thereof, that two rings may be upon the one side thereof and two rings upon the other side thereof.
13And make staves of acacia-wood and overlay them with gold.
14And put the staves into the rings upon the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not come out from it.
16And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony that I shall give thee.
17And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.
19And make one cherub at the end of the one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim at the two ends thereof.
20And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings over it, covering over with their wings the mercy-seat, and their faces opposite to one another: toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be turned.
21And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above on the ark, and shalt put in the ark the testimony that I shall give thee.
22And there will I meet with thee, and will speak with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, everything that I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
23And thou shalt make a table of acacia-wood, two cubits the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

33three cups shaped like almonds in the one branch, a knob and a flower: and three cups shaped like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the lamp-stand.
34And in the lamp-stand four cups shaped like almonds, its knobs and its flowers;
35and a knob under two branches of it, and again a knob under two branches of it, and again a knob under two branches of it, for the six branches that proceed out of the lamp-stand.

21In the tent of meeting outside the veil, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall dress them from evening to morning before Jehovah: it is an everlasting statute, for their generations, on the part of the children of Israel.
1And thou shalt take thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me as priest--Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
2And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.
3And thou shalt speak with all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
4And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest.
5And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus,
6and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work.
7It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together.

16Square shall it be, doubled; a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.
17And thou shalt set in it settings of stones--four rows of stones: one row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald--the first row;
18and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;

23And thou shalt make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24And thou shalt put the two wreathen cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;

28And they shall bind the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

31And thou shalt make the cloak of the ephod all of blue.
32And its opening for the head shall be in the midst thereof; there shall be a binding of woven work at its opening round about; as the opening of a coat of mail, it shall be in it--it shall not rend.
33And on the skirts thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
34a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about.
35And it shall be on Aaron for service; that his sound may be heard when he goeth into the sanctuary before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he may not die.
36And thou shalt make a thin plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, as the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!
37And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the turban--upon the front of the turban shall it be.
38And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all gifts of their holy things; and it shall be continually on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.
39And thou shalt weave the vest of byssus; and thou shalt make a turban of byssus; and thou shalt make a girdle of embroidery.
40And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make vests; and thou shalt make for them girdles; and high caps shalt thou make for them, for glory and for ornament.
41And thou shalt clothe with them Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.
42And thou shalt make them linen trousers to cover the flesh of nakedness; from the loins even to the hips shall they reach.
43And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons when they enter into the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to serve in the sanctuary; that they may not bear iniquity and die--an everlasting statute for him and his seed after him.
1And this is the thing which thou shalt do to them to hallow them, that they may serve me as priests: take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,
2and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil--of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
3And thou shalt put them into one basket, and present them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
4And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring near the entrance of the tent of meeting, and shalt bathe them with water.
5And thou shalt take the garments, and clothe Aaron with the vest, and the cloak of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and shalt gird him with the girdle of the ephod.
6And thou shalt put the turban upon his head, and fasten the holy diadem to the turban,
7and shalt take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.
8And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with the vests.
9And thou shalt gird them with the girdle--Aaron and his sons, and bind the high caps on them; and the priesthood shall be theirs for an everlasting statute; and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10And thou shalt present the bullock before the tent of meeting; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock;
11and thou shalt slaughter the bullock before Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting;
12and thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it on the horns of the altar with thy finger, and shalt pour all the blood at the bottom of the altar.
13And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.
14And the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and its dung, shalt thou burn with fire outside the camp: it is a sin-offering.
15And thou shalt take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram;
16and thou shalt slaughter the ram, and shalt take its blood, and sprinkle it on the altar round about.
17And thou shalt cut up the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and its legs, and put them upon its pieces, and upon its head;
18and thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering to Jehovah--a sweet odour; it is an offering by fire to Jehovah.
19And thou shalt take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram;
20and thou shalt slaughter the ram, and take of its blood, and put it 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 thou shalt sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
21And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
22Also of the ram shalt thou take the fat, and the fat-tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder--for it is a ram of consecration--
23and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before Jehovah;
24and thou shalt put all this in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons, and shalt wave them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.
25And thou shalt receive them of their hand and burn them upon the altar over the burnt-offering, for a sweet odour before Jehovah: it is an offering by fire to Jehovah.
26And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of consecration which is for Aaron, and wave it as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and it shall be thy part.
27And thou shalt hallow the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering, that hath been waved and heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons.
28And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, as an everlasting statute, on the part of the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering; and it shall be a heave-offering on the part of the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, as their heave-offering to Jehovah.
29And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
30The son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tent of meeting to serve in the sanctuary.
31And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.
32And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
33They shall eat the things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to hallow them; but a stranger shall not eat of them, for they are holy.
34And if any of the flesh of the consecration, and of the bread, remain until the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, for it is holy.
35And thus shalt thou do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
36And thou shalt offer every day a bullock as a sin-offering for atonement; and the altar shalt thou cleanse from sin, by making atonement for it, and shalt anoint it, to hallow it.
37Seven days shalt thou make atonement for the altar and hallow it; and the altar shall be most holy: whatever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
38And this is what thou shalt offer upon the altar--two lambs of the first year, day by day continually.
39The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer between the two evenings.
40And with the one lamb a tenth part of wheaten flour mingled with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin; and a drink-offering, a fourth part of a hin of wine.
41And the second lamb shalt thou offer between the two evenings; as the oblation in the morning, and as its drink-offering shalt thou offer with this, for a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah.
42It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet with you, to speak there with thee.
43And there will I meet with the children of Israel; and it shall be hallowed by my glory.
44And I will hallow the tent of meeting, and the altar; and I will hallow Aaron and his sons, that they may serve me as priests.
45And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who have brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, to dwell in their midst: I am Jehovah their God.
1And thou shalt make an altar for the burning of incense: of acacia-wood shalt thou make it;
2a cubit the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof--square shall it be; and two cubits its height; of itself shall be its horns.
3And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make upon it a border of gold round about.
4And two rings of gold shalt thou make for it under its border; by its two corners shalt thou make them, on the two sides thereof; and they shall be for receptacles for the staves, with which to carry it.
5And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.
6And thou shalt put it in front of the veil which is before the ark of the testimony in front of the mercy-seat which is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7And Aaron shall burn thereon fragrant incense: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn the incense.
8And when Aaron lighteth the lamps between the two evenings, he shall burn the incense--a continual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.
9Ye shall offer up no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor oblation; neither shall ye pour drink-offering thereon.
10And Aaron shall make atonement for its horns once in the year: with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement shall he make atonement for it, once in the year, throughout your generations: it is most holy to Jehovah.
11And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to those of them that are numbered, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah on their being numbered, that there be no plague among them on their being numbered.
13This shall they give--every one that passeth among them that are numbered--half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary,--twenty gerahs the shekel; a half shekel shall be the heave-offering for Jehovah.
14Every one that passeth among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the heave-offering of Jehovah.
15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when ye give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
16And thou shalt take the atonement-money of the children of Israel, and devote it to the service of the tent of meeting; and it shall be a memorial to the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
17And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
18Thou shalt also make a laver of copper, and its stand of copper, for washing; and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
19And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet out of it.
20When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they come near to the altar to serve, to burn an offering by fire to Jehovah.
21And they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die; and it shall be an everlasting statute for them, for him and for his seed throughout their generations.
22And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
23And thou, take best spices--of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon the half--two hundred and fifty, and of sweet myrtle two hundred and fifty,
24and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin;
25and make of it an oil of holy ointment, a perfume of perfumery after the work of the perfumer: it shall be the holy anointing oil.
26And thou shalt anoint the tent of meeting with it, and the ark of the testimony,
27and the table and all its utensils, and the lamp-stand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
28and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand.
29And thou shalt hallow them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy.
30And Aaron and his sons thou shalt anoint, and shalt hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.
31And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, A holy anointing oil shall this be unto me throughout your generations.
32Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, after the preparation of it: it is holy--holy shall it be unto you.
33Whoever compoundeth any like it, or whoever putteth any of it upon any strange thing, shall be cut off from his peoples.
34And Jehovah said to Moses, Take fragrant drugs--stacte, and onycha, and galbanum--fragrant drugs and pure frankincense; in like proportions shall it be.
35And thou shalt make it into incense, a perfume, after the work of the perfumer, salted, pure, holy.
36And thou shalt beat some of it to powder, and put some of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37And the incense that thou shalt make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the proportions of it; it shall be unto thee holy to Jehovah.
38Whoever maketh like unto it, to smell it, shall be cut off from his peoples. (Ex. 25:1‑30:38)
Ex. 36:1‑40:38• 1Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary--according to all that Jehovah had commanded.
2And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.
3And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.
4And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,
5and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.
6Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;
7for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.
8And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work did he make them.
9The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits--one measure for all the curtains.
10And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and the other five curtains coupled he one to another.
11And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.
12He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.
13And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.
14And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.
15The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain--one measure for the eleven curtains.
16And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.
17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.
18And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one.
19And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
20And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up;
21ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board;
22two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;
24and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board, for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
25And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side toward the north, he made twenty boards,
26and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
27And at the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards;
28and he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;
29and they were joined beneath, and were coupled together at the top thereof into one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners;
30and there were eight boards, and their silver bases: sixteen bases, under every board two bases.
31--And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the rear, westward.
33And he made the middle bar in the midst of the boards reach from one end to the other.
34And he overlaid the boards with gold; and made their rings of gold as receptacles for the bars; and overlaid the bars with gold.
35And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus: of artistic work he made it with cherubim.
36And he made four pillars of acacia-wood for it, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.
37And he made a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery;
38and its five pillars with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their connecting-rods with gold; and their five bases were of copper.
1And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a border of gold upon it round about.
3And he cast for it four rings of gold, for its four corners: two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
4And he made staves of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold.
5And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark.
6--And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
7And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work did he make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8one cherub at the end of one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat he made the two cherubim at the two ends thereof.
9And the cherubim spread out their wings over it, covering over with their wings the mercy-seat; and their faces were opposite to one another: the faces of the cherubim were turned toward the mercy-seat.
10And he made the table of acacia-wood; two cubits the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made upon it a border of gold round about.
12And he made for it a margin of a hand-breadth round about; and made a border of gold for the margin thereof round about.
13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were on the four feet thereof.
14Close to the margin were the rings, as receptacles of the staves to carry the table.
15And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.
16And he made the utensils that were on the table, the dishes thereof, and the cups thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the goblets with which to pour out, of pure gold.
17And he made the candlestick of pure gold; of beaten work he made the candlestick: its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of itself.
18And six branches went 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 side thereof;
19there were three cups shaped like almonds in the one branch, a knob and a flower; and three cups shaped like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower: so in the six branches which went out of the candlestick.
20And in the candlestick were four cups, shaped like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers;
21and a knob under two branches thereof, and again a knob under two branches thereof, and again a knob under two branches thereof, for the six branches which went out of it.
22Their knobs and their branches were of itself--all of one beaten work of pure gold.
23And he made the seven lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof, and the snuff-trays thereof, of pure gold.
24Of a talent of pure gold he made it, and all its utensils.
25And he made the altar of incense of acacia-wood; a cubit the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, square, and two cubits the height thereof: its horns were of itself.
26And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and made upon it a border of gold round about.
27And he made two rings of gold for it under its border, by its two corners, on the two sides thereof, as receptacles for the staves with which to carry it.
28And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of fragrant drugs, according to the work of the perfumer.
1And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia-wood; five cubits the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, square, and three cubits the height thereof.
2And he made its horns on the four corners thereof; its horns were of itself; and he overlaid it with copper.
3And he made all the utensils of the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils made he of copper.
4And he made for the altar a grating of network of copper under its ledge from beneath, to the very middle of it.
5And he cast four rings for the four corners of the grating of copper, as receptacles for the staves.
6And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with copper.
7And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. Hollow with boards did he make it.
8And he made the laver of copper, and its stand of copper, of the mirrors of the crowds of women who crowded before the entrance of the tent of meeting.
9And he made the court. On the south side southward, the hangings of the court were of twined byssus, a hundred cubits;
10their pillars twenty, and their bases twenty, of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.
11And on the north side, a hundred cubits; their pillars twenty, and their bases twenty, of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.
12And on the west side, hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their bases ten; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.
13And for the east side, eastward, fifty cubits;
14the hangings on the one wing of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their bases three;
15and on the other wing, on this side as on that side of the gate of the court, hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their bases three.
16All the hangings of the court round about were of twined byssus;
17and the bases of the pillars of copper, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals of silver; and all the pillars of the court were fastened together with rods of silver.
18--And the curtain of the gate of the court was of embroidery of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; and the length was twenty cubits, and the height like the breadth, five cubits, just as the hangings of the court;
19and their pillars four, and their bases four, of copper; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their connecting-rods of silver.
20And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court round about were of copper.
21These are the things numbered of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, by the service of the Levites, under the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
22And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah had commanded Moses;
23and with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and artificer, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in byssus.
24All the gold that it took for the work in all the work of the sanctuary--the gold of the wave-offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
25And the silver of them that were numbered of the assembly was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary:
26a bekah the head--half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed the numbering from twenty years old and upward, of the six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
27And there were a hundred talents of silver for casting the bases of the sanctuary, and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases of a hundred talents, a talent for a base.
28And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made the hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and fastened them with rods.
29And the copper of the wave-offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred shekels.
30And he made with it the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, and the copper altar, and the copper grating for it, and all the utensils of the altar.
31And the bases of the court round about, and the bases of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs of the court round about.
1And of the blue and purple and scarlet they made garments of service, for service in the sanctuary, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.
3And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it artistically into the blue, and into the purple, and into the scarlet, and into the byssus.
4They made shoulder-pieces for it, joining it: at its two ends was it joined together.
5And the girdle of his ephod, which was on it, was of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
6And they wrought the onyx stones mounted in enclosures of gold, engraved with the engravings of a seal, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
7And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
8And he made the breastplate of artistic work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.
9It was square; double did they make the breastplate, a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, doubled.
10And they set in it four rows of stones: one row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald--the first row;
11and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;
13and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper; mounted in enclosures of gold in their settings.
14And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
15And they made on the breastplate chains of laced work of wreathen work, of pure gold.
16And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
17And they put the two wreathen cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;
18and the two ends of the two wreathen cords they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.
19And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards.
20And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof, just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod.
21And they bound the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with lace of blue, that it might be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22And he made the cloak of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
23and the opening of the cloak in its middle, as the opening of a coat of mail; a binding was round about the opening, that it should not rend.
24And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.
25And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, in the skirts of the cloak, round about, between the pomegranates:
26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about, for service; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
27And they made the vests of byssus of woven work, for Aaron, and for his sons;
28and the turban of byssus; and the ornamental caps, of byssus; and the linen trousers, of twined byssus;
29and the girdle, of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of embroidery; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
30And they made the thin plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold, and wrote on it with the writing of the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!
31And they fastened to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
32And all the labour of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was ended; and the children of Israel had done it according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses--so had they done it.
33And they brought the tabernacle to Moses--the tent, and all its utensils, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases;
34and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of separation;
35the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and the mercy-seat;
36the table, all its utensils, and the shewbread;
37the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps set in order, and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;
38and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs; and the curtain for the entrance of the tent;
39the copper altar, and the copper grating that was for it, its staves and all its utensils; the laver and its stand;
40the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases; and the curtain for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the vessel's of service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
41the garments of service, for service in the sanctuary; the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to serve as priests.
42According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so had the children of Israel done all the labour.
43And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Jehovah had commanded--so had they done it; and Moses blessed them.
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.
4And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.
5And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
6And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
7And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
8And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
9And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy.
10And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
11And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
12And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.
13And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
14And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
15And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
17And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
18And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars.
19And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
20And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on the ark.
21And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
23and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
24And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
26And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.
27And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
28And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
29And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
30And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
31And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:
32when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
33And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.
34And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
35And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.
37And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
38For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. (Ex. 36:1‑40:38)
