Exodus:2:11-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass in those days ,
when Moses was grown ,
that he went out unto his brethren ,
and looked on their burdens :
and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew ,
one of his brethren .
*
And he looked this way and that way ,
and when he saw that there was no man ,
he slew the Egyptian ,
and hid him in the sand .
*
And when he went out the second day ,
behold ,
two men of the Hebrews strove together :
and he said to him that did the wrong ,
Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow ?
*
And he said ,
Who made thee a prince and a judge over us ?
intendest thou to kill me ,
as thou killedst the Egyptian ?
And Moses feared ,
and said ,
Surely this thing is known .
*
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing ,
he sought to slay Moses .
But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh ,
and dwelt in the land of Midian :
and he sat down by a well .
*
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters :
and they came and drew water ,
and filled the troughs to water their father '
s flock .
*
And the shepherds came and drove them away :
but Moses stood up and helped them ,
and watered their flock .
*
And when they came to Reuel their father ,
he said ,
How is it that ye are come so soon to day ?
*
And they said ,
An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds ,
and also drew water enough for us ,
and watered the flock .
*
And he said unto his daughters ,
And where is he ?
why is it that ye have left the man ?
call him ,
that he may eat bread .
*
And Moses was content to dwell with the man :
and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter .
*
And she bare him a son ,
and he called his name Gershom :
for he said ,
I have been a stranger in a strange land .
*
And it came to pass in process of time ,
that the king of Egypt died :
and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage ,
and they cried ,
and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage .
*
And God heard their groaning ,
and God remembered his covenant with Abraham ,
with Isaac ,
and with Jacob .
*
And God looked upon the children of Israel ,
and God had respect unto them .
*
And God spake all these words ,
saying ,
*
I am the LORD thy God ,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of bondage .
*
Thou shalt have no other gods before me .
*
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image ,
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above ,
or that is in the earth beneath ,
or that is in the water under the earth :
*
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them ,
nor serve them :
for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God ,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me ;
*
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me ,
and keep my commandments .
*
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain ;
for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain .
*
Remember the sabbath day ,
to keep it holy .
*
Six days shalt thou labour ,
and do all thy work :
*
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God :
in it thou shalt not do any work ,
thou ,
nor thy son ,
nor thy daughter ,
thy manservant ,
nor thy maidservant ,
nor thy cattle ,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates :
*
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth ,
the sea ,
and all that in them is ,
and rested the seventh day :
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day ,
and hallowed it .
*
Honour thy father and thy mother :
that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee .
*
Thou shalt not kill .
*
Thou shalt not commit adultery .
*
Thou shalt not steal .
*
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour .
*
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour '
s house ,
thou shalt not covet thy neighbour '
s wife ,
nor his manservant ,
nor his maidservant ,
nor his ox ,
nor his ass ,
nor any thing that is thy neighbour '
s .
*
And all the people saw the thunderings ,
and the lightnings ,
and the noise of the trumpet ,
and the mountain smoking :
and when the people saw it ,
they removed ,
and stood afar off .
*
And they said unto Moses ,
Speak thou with us ,
and we will hear :
but let not God speak with us ,
lest we die .
*
And Moses said unto the people ,
Fear not :
for God is come to prove you ,
and that his fear may be before your faces ,
that ye sin not .
*
And the people stood afar off ,
and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel ,
Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven .
*
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver ,
neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold .
*
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me ,
and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings ,
and thy peace offerings ,
thy sheep ,
and thine oxen :
in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee ,
and I will bless thee .
*
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone ,
thou shalt not build it of hewn stone :
for if thou lift up thy tool upon it ,
thou hast polluted it .
*
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar ,
that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon .
*
Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them .
*
If thou buy an Hebrew servant ,
six years he shall serve :
and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing .
*
If he came in by himself ,
he shall go out by himself :
if he were married ,
then his wife shall go out with him .
*
If his master have given him a wife ,
and she have born him sons or daughters ;
the wife and her children shall be her master '
s ,
and he shall go out by himself .
*
And if the servant shall plainly say ,
I love my master ,
my wife ,
and my children ;
I will not go out free :
*
Then his master shall bring him unto the judges ;
he shall also bring him to the door ,
or unto the door post ;
and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul ;
and he shall serve him for ever .
*
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant ,
she shall not go out as the menservants do .
*
If she please not her master ,
who hath betrothed her to himself ,
then shall he let her be redeemed :
to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power ,
seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her .
*
And if he have betrothed her unto his son ,
he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters .
*
If he take him another wife ;
her food ,
her raiment ,
and her duty of marriage ,
shall he not diminish .
*
And if he do not these three unto her ,
then shall she go out free without money .
*
He that smiteth a man ,
so that he die ,
shall be surely put to death .
*
And if a man lie not in wait ,
but God deliver him into his hand ;
then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee .
*
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour ,
to slay him with guile ;
thou shalt take him from mine altar ,
that he may die .
*
And he that smiteth his father ,
or his mother ,
shall be surely put to death .
*
And he that stealeth a man ,
and selleth him ,
or if he be found in his hand ,
he shall surely be put to death .
*
And he that curseth his father ,
or his mother ,
shall surely be put to death .
*
And if men strive together ,
and one smite another with a stone ,
or with his fist ,
and he die not ,
but keepeth his bed :
*
If he rise again ,
and walk abroad upon his staff ,
then shall he that smote him be quit :
only he shall pay for the loss of his time ,
and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed .
*
And if a man smite his servant ,
or his maid ,
with a rod ,
and he die under his hand ;
he shall be surely punished .
*
Notwithstanding ,
if he continue a day or two ,
he shall not be punished :
for he is his money .
*
If men strive ,
and hurt a woman with child ,
so that her fruit depart from her ,
and yet no mischief follow :
he shall be surely punished ,
according as the woman '
s husband will lay upon him ;
and he shall pay as the judges determine .
*
And if any mischief follow ,
then thou shalt give life for life ,
*
Eye for eye ,
tooth for tooth ,
hand for hand ,
foot for foot ,
*
Burning for burning ,
wound for wound ,
stripe for stripe .
*
And if a man smite the eye of his servant ,
or the eye of his maid ,
that it perish ;
he shall let him go free for his eye '
s sake .
*
And if he smite out his manservant '
s tooth ,
or his maidservant '
s tooth ;
he shall let him go free for his tooth '
s sake .
*
If an ox gore a man or a woman ,
that they die :
then the ox shall be surely stoned ,
and his flesh shall not be eaten ;
but the owner of the ox shall be quit .
*
But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past ,
and it hath been testified to his owner ,
and he hath not kept him in ,
but that he hath killed a man or a woman ;
the ox shall be stoned ,
and his owner also shall be put to death .
*
If there be laid on him a sum of money ,
then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him .
*
Whether he have gored a son ,
or have gored a daughter ,
according to this judgment shall it be done unto him .
*
If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant ;
he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver ,
and the ox shall be stoned .
*
And if a man shall open a pit ,
or if a man shall dig a pit ,
and not cover it ,
and an ox or an ass fall therein ;
*
The owner of the pit shall make it good ,
and give money unto the owner of them ;
and the dead beast shall be his .
*
And if one man '
s ox hurt another '
s ,
that he die ;
then they shall sell the live ox ,
and divide the money of it ;
and the dead ox also they shall divide .
*
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past ,
and his owner hath not kept him in ;
he shall surely pay ox for ox ;
and the dead shall be his own .
*
If a man shall steal an ox ,
or a sheep ,
and kill it ,
or sell it ;
he shall restore five oxen for an ox ,
and four sheep for a sheep .
*
If a thief be found breaking up ,
and be smitten that he die ,
there shall no blood be shed for him .
*
If the sun be risen upon him ,
there shall be blood shed for him ;
for he should make full restitution ;
if he have nothing ,
then he shall be sold for his theft .
*
If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive ,
whether it be ox ,
or ass ,
or sheep ;
he shall restore double .
*
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten ,
and shall put in his beast ,
and shall feed in another man '
s field ;
of the best of his own field ,
and of the best of his own vineyard ,
shall he make restitution .
*
If fire break out ,
and catch in thorns ,
so that the stacks of corn ,
or the standing corn ,
or the field ,
be consumed therewith ;
he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution .
*
If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep ,
and it be stolen out of the man '
s house ;
if the thief be found ,
let him pay double .
*
If the thief be not found ,
then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges ,
to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour '
s goods .
*
For all manner of trespass ,
whether it be for ox ,
for ass ,
for sheep ,
for raiment ,
or for any manner of lost thing ,
which another challengeth to be his ,
the cause of both parties shall come before the judges ;
and whom the judges shall condemn ,
he shall pay double unto his neighbour .
*
If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass ,
or an ox ,
or a sheep ,
or any beast ,
to keep ;
and it die ,
or be hurt ,
or driven away ,
no man seeing it :
*
Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both ,
that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour '
s goods ;
and the owner of it shall accept thereof ,
and he shall not make it good .
*
And if it be stolen from him ,
he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof .
*
If it be torn in pieces ,
then let him bring it for witness ,
and he shall not make good that which was torn .
*
And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour ,
and it be hurt ,
or die ,
the owner thereof being not with it ,
he shall surely make it good .
*
But if the owner thereof be with it ,
he shall not make it good :
if it be an hired thing ,
it came for his hire .
*
And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed ,
and lie with her ,
he shall surely endow her to be his wife .
*
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him ,
he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins .
*
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live .
*
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death .
*
He that sacrificeth unto any god ,
save unto the LORD only ,
he shall be utterly destroyed .
*
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger ,
nor oppress him :
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt .
*
Ye shall not afflict any widow ,
or fatherless child .
*
If thou afflict them in any wise ,
and they cry at all unto me ,
I will surely hear their cry ;
*
And my wrath shall wax hot ,
and I will kill you with the sword ;
and your wives shall be widows ,
and your children fatherless .
*
If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee ,
thou shalt not be to him as an usurer ,
neither shalt thou lay upon him usury .
*
If thou at all take thy neighbour '
s raiment to pledge ,
thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down :
*
For that is his covering only ,
it is his raiment for his skin :
wherein shall he sleep ?
and it shall come to pass ,
when he crieth unto me ,
that I will hear ;
for I am gracious .
*
Thou shalt not revile the gods ,
nor curse the ruler of thy people .
*
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits ,
and of thy liquors :
the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me .
*
Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen ,
and with thy sheep :
seven days it shall be with his dam ;
on the eighth day thou shalt give it me .
*
And ye shall be holy men unto me :
neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field ;
ye shall cast it to the dogs .
*
Thou shalt not raise a false report :
put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness .
*
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil ;
neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment :
*
Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause .
*
If thou meet thine enemy '
s ox or his ass going astray ,
thou shalt surely bring it back to him again .
*
If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden ,
and wouldest forbear to help him ,
thou shalt surely help with him .
*
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause .
*
Keep thee far from a false matter ;
and the innocent and righteous slay thou not :
for I will not justify the wicked .
*
And thou shalt take no gift :
for the gift blindeth the wise ,
and perverteth the words of the righteous .
*
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger :
for ye know the heart of a stranger ,
seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt .
*
And six years thou shalt sow thy land ,
and shalt gather in the fruits thereof :
*
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still ;
that the poor of thy people may eat :
and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat .
In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard ,
and with thy oliveyard .
*
Six days thou shalt do thy work ,
and on the seventh day thou shalt rest :
that thine ox and thine ass may rest ,
and the son of thy handmaid ,
and the stranger ,
may be refreshed .
*
And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect :
and make no mention of the name of other gods ,
neither let it be heard out of thy mouth .
*
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year .
*
Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread : (
thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days ,
as I commanded thee ,
in the time appointed of the month Abib ;
for in it thou camest out from Egypt :
and none shall appear before me empty :)
*
And the feast of harvest ,
the firstfruits of thy labours ,
which thou hast sown in the field :
and the feast of ingathering ,
which is in the end of the year ,
when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field .
*
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD .
*
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread ;
neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning .
*
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God .
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother '
s milk .
*
Behold ,
I send an Angel before thee ,
to keep thee in the way ,
and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared .
*
Beware of him ,
and obey his voice ,
provoke him not ;
for he will not pardon your transgressions :
for my name is in him .
*
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice ,
and do all that I speak ;
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies ,
and an adversary unto thine adversaries .
*
For mine Angel shall go before thee ,
and bring thee in unto the Amorites ,
and the Hittites ,
and the Perizzites ,
and the Canaanites ,
the Hivites ,
and the Jebusites :
and I will cut them off .
*
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods ,
nor serve them ,
nor do after their works :
but thou shalt utterly overthrow them ,
and quite break down their images .
*
And ye shall serve the LORD your God ,
and he shall bless thy bread ,
and thy water ;
and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee .
*
There shall nothing cast their young ,
nor be barren ,
in thy land :
the number of thy days I will fulfil .
*
I will send my fear before thee ,
and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come ,
and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee .
*
And I will send hornets before thee ,
which shall drive out the Hivite ,
the Canaanite ,
and the Hittite ,
from before thee .
*
I will not drive them out from before thee in one year ;
lest the land become desolate ,
and the beast of the field multiply against thee .
*
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee ,
until thou be increased ,
and inherit the land .
*
And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines ,
and from the desert unto the river :
for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand ;
and thou shalt drive them out before thee .
*
Thou shalt make no covenant with them ,
nor with their gods .
*
They shall not dwell in thy land ,
lest they make thee sin against me :
for if thou serve their gods ,
it will surely be a snare unto thee .
*
And he said unto Moses ,
Come up unto the LORD ,
thou ,
and Aaron ,
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
and seventy of the elders of Israel ;
and worship ye afar off .
*
And Moses alone shall come near the LORD :
but they shall not come nigh ;
neither shall the people go up with him .
*
And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD ,
and all the judgments :
and all the people answered with one voice ,
and said ,
All the words which the LORD hath said will we do .
*
And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD ,
and rose up early in the morning ,
and builded an altar under the hill ,
and twelve pillars ,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel .
*
And he sent young men of the children of Israel ,
which offered burnt offerings ,
and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD .
*
And Moses took half of the blood ,
and put it in basons ;
and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar .
*
And he took the book of the covenant ,
and read in the audience of the people :
and they said ,
All that the LORD hath said will we do ,
and be obedient .
*
And Moses took the blood ,
and sprinkled it on the people ,
and said ,
Behold the blood of the covenant ,
which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words .
*
Then went up Moses ,
and Aaron ,
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
and seventy of the elders of Israel :
*
And they saw the God of Israel :
and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone ,
and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness .
*
And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand :
also they saw God ,
and did eat and drink .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Come up to me into the mount ,
and be there :
and I will give thee tables of stone ,
and a law ,
and commandments which I have written ;
that thou mayest teach them .
*
And Moses rose up ,
and his minister Joshua :
and Moses went up into the mount of God .
*
And he said unto the elders ,
Tarry ye here for us ,
until we come again unto you :
and ,
behold ,
Aaron and Hur are with you :
if any man have any matters to do ,
let him come unto them .
*
And Moses went up into the mount ,
and a cloud covered the mount .
*
And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai ,
and the cloud covered it six days :
and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud .
*
And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel .
*
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud ,
and gat him up into the mount :
and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
that they bring me an offering :
of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering .
*
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them ;
gold ,
and silver ,
and brass ,
*
And blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet ,
and fine linen ,
and goats '
hair ,
*
And rams '
skins dyed red ,
and badgers '
skins ,
and shittim wood ,
*
Oil for the light ,
spices for anointing oil ,
and for sweet incense ,
*
Onyx stones ,
and stones to be set in the ephod ,
and in the breastplate .
*
And let them make me a sanctuary ;
that I may dwell among them .
*
According to all that I shew thee ,
after the pattern of the tabernacle ,
and the pattern of all the instruments thereof ,
even so shall ye make it .
*
And they shall make an ark of shittim wood :
two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof ,
and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof ,
and a cubit and a half the height thereof .
*
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold ,
within and without shalt thou overlay it ,
and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about .
*
And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it ,
and put them in the four corners thereof ;
and two rings shall be in the one side of it ,
and two rings in the other side of it .
*
And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood ,
and overlay them with gold .
*
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark ,
that the ark may be borne with them .
*
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark :
they shall not be taken from it .
*
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee .
*
And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold :
two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof ,
and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof .
*
And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold ,
of beaten work shalt thou make them ,
in the two ends of the mercy seat .
*
And make one cherub on the one end ,
and the other cherub on the other end :
even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof .
*
And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high ,
covering the mercy seat with their wings ,
and their faces shall look one to another ;
toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be .
*
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark ;
and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee .
*
And there I will meet with thee ,
and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat ,
from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony ,
of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel .
*
Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood :
two cubits shall be the length thereof ,
and a cubit the breadth thereof ,
and a cubit and a half the height thereof .
*
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold ,
and make thereto a crown of gold round about .
*
And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about ,
and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about .
*
And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold ,
and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof .
*
Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table .
*
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood ,
and overlay them with gold ,
that the table may be borne with them .
*
And thou shalt make the dishes thereof ,
and spoons thereof ,
and covers thereof ,
and bowls thereof ,
to cover withal :
of pure gold shalt thou make them .
*
And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway .
*
And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold :
of beaten work shall the candlestick be made :
his shaft ,
and his branches ,
his bowls ,
his knops ,
and his flowers ,
shall be of the same .
*
And six branches shall come out of the sides of it ;
three branches of the candlestick out of the one side ,
and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side :
*
Three bowls made like unto almonds ,
with a knop and a flower in one branch ;
and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch ,
with a knop and a flower :
so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick .
*
And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds ,
with their knops and their flowers .
*
And there shall be 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 that proceed out of the candlestick .
*
Their knops and their branches shall be of the same :
all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold .
*
And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof :
and they shall light the lamps thereof ,
that they may give light over against it .
*
And the tongs thereof ,
and the snuffdishes thereof ,
shall be of pure gold .
*
Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it ,
with all these vessels .
*
And look that thou make them after their pattern ,
which was shewed thee in the mount .
*
Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen ,
and blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet :
with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them .
*
The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits ,
and the breadth of one curtain four cubits :
and every one of the curtains shall have one measure .
*
The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another ;
and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another .
*
And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling ;
and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain ,
in the coupling of the second .
*
Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain ,
and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second ;
that the loops may take hold one of another .
*
And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold ,
and couple the curtains together with the taches :
and it shall be one tabernacle .
*
And thou shalt make curtains of goats '
hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle :
eleven curtains shalt thou make .
*

And there shall be an hole in the top of it ,
in the midst thereof :

as it were the hole of an habergeon ,
that it be not rent .
*
And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue ,
and of purple ,
and of scarlet ,
round about the hem thereof ;
and bells of gold between them round about :
*
A golden bell and a pomegranate ,

upon the hem of the robe round about .
*
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister :
and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD ,
and when he cometh out ,
that he die not .
*
And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold ,
and grave upon it ,

*
And thou shalt put it on a blue lace ,
that it may be upon the mitre ;

*
And it shall be upon Aaron '

*
And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother ,
and his sons with him ;
and shalt anoint them ,
and consecrate them ,
and sanctify them ,
that they may minister unto me in the priest '
s office .
*
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness ;
from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach :
*
And they shall be upon Aaron ,
and upon his sons ,
when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation ,
or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place ;
that they bear not iniquity ,
and die :
it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him .
*
And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them ,
to minister unto me in the priest '
s office :
Take one young bullock ,
and two rams without blemish ,
*
And unleavened bread ,
and cakes unleavened tempered with oil ,
and wafers unleavened anointed with oil :
of wheaten flour shalt thou make them .
*
And thou shalt put them into one basket ,
and bring them in the basket ,
with the bullock and the two rams .
*
And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and shalt wash them with water .
*
And thou shalt take the garments ,
and put upon Aaron the coat ,
and the robe of the ephod ,
and the ephod ,
and the breastplate ,
and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod :
*
And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head ,
and put the holy crown upon the mitre .
*
Then shalt thou take the anointing oil ,
and pour it upon his head ,
and anoint him .
*
And thou shalt bring his sons ,
and put coats upon them .
*
And thou shalt gird them with girdles ,
Aaron and his sons ,
and put the bonnets on them :
and the priest '
s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute :
and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons .
*
And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock .
*
And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD ,
by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock ,
and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger ,
and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar .
*
And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and the caul that is above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is upon them ,
and burn them upon the altar .
*
But the flesh of the bullock ,
and his skin ,
and his dung ,
shalt thou burn with fire without the camp :
it is a sin offering .
*
Thou shalt also take one ram ;
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram .
*
And thou shalt slay the ram ,
and thou shalt take his blood ,
and sprinkle it round about upon the altar .
*
And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces ,
and wash the inwards of him ,
and his legs ,
and put them unto his pieces ,
and unto his head .
*
And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar :
it is a burnt offering unto the LORD :
it is a sweet savour ,
an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
And thou shalt take the other ram ;
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram .
*
Then shalt thou kill the ram ,
and take of his blood ,
and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron ,
and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons ,
and upon the thumb of their right hand ,
and upon the great toe of their right foot ,
and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about .
*
And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar ,
and of the anointing oil ,
and sprinkle it upon Aaron ,
and upon his garments ,
and upon his sons ,
and upon the garments of his sons with him :
and he shall be hallowed ,
and his garments ,
and his sons ,
and his sons '
garments with him .
*
Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump ,
and the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and the caul above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is upon them ,
and the right shoulder ;
for it is a ram of consecration :
*
And one loaf of bread ,
and one cake of oiled bread ,
and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD :
*
And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron ,
and in the hands of his sons ;
and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD .
*
And thou shalt receive them of their hands ,
and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering ,
for a sweet savour before the LORD :
it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron '
s consecration ,
and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD :
and it shall be thy part .
*
And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering ,
and the shoulder of the heave offering ,
which is waved ,
and which is heaved up ,
of the ram of the consecration ,
even of that which is for Aaron ,
and of that which is for his sons :
*
And it shall be Aaron '
s and his sons '
by a statute for ever from the children of Israel :
for it is an heave offering :
and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings ,
even their heave offering unto the LORD .
*
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons '
after him ,
to be anointed therein ,
and to be consecrated in them .
*
And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days ,
when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place .
*
And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration ,
and seethe his flesh in the holy place .
*
And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram ,
and the bread that is in the basket ,
by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made ,
to consecrate and to sanctify them :
but a stranger shall not eat thereof ,
because they are holy .
*
And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations ,
or of the bread ,
remain unto the morning ,
then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire :
it shall not be eaten ,
because it is holy .
*
And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron ,
and to his sons ,
according to all things which I have commanded thee :
seven days shalt thou consecrate them .
*
And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement :
and thou shalt cleanse the altar ,
when thou hast made an atonement for it ,
and thou shalt anoint it ,
to sanctify it .
*
Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar ,
and sanctify it ;
and it shall be an altar most holy :
whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy .
*
Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar ;
two lambs of the first year day by day continually .
*
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning ;
and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even :
*
And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil ;
and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering .
*
And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even ,
and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning ,
and according to the drink offering thereof ,
for a sweet savour ,
an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD :
where I will meet you ,
to speak there unto thee .
*
And there I will meet with the children of Israel ,
and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory .
*
And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and the altar :
I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons ,
to minister to me in the priest '
s office .
*
And I will dwell among the children of Israel ,
and will be their God .
*
And they shall know that I am the LORD their God ,
that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt ,
that I may dwell among them :
I am the LORD their God .
