Exodus:2:11-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass in those days ,
when Moses was grown up ,
that he went out unto his brethren ,
and looked on their burdensome labors ;
and he saw an Egyptian man smiting a Hebrew man ,
one of his brethren .
*
And he looked this way and that way ,
and when he saw that there was no one by ,
he smote the Egyptian ,
and hid him in the sand .
*
And when he went out the second day ,
behold ,
two Hebrew men were striving together ;
and he said unto him that was in the wrong ,
Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow ?
*
And he said ,
Who made thee a chief and a judge over us ?
intendest thou to kill me ,
as thou hast killed the Egyptian !
And Moses feared ,
and said ,
Surely the thing is become known .
*
And Pharaoh heard this thing ,
and he sought to slay Moses ;
but Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh ,
and tarried 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 arose and helped them ,
and watered their flock .
*
And when they came to Reuel their father ,
he said ,
Wherefore are ye come home so soon today ?
*
And they said ,
An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds ;
and he also drew water for us ,
and watered the flock .
*
And he said unto his daughters ,
And where is he ?
wherefore have ye left the man ?
call him ,
that he may eat bread .
*
And Moses was content to dwell with the man ;
and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses .
*
And she bore a son ,
and he called his name Gershom ;
for he said ,
I have been a stranger in a foreign land .
*
And it came to pass in this long time ,
that the king of Egypt died ;
and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage ,
and they cried ;
and their complaint 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 took cognizance of them .
*
And God spoke all these words ,
saying ,
*
I am the Lord thy God ,
who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of slavery .
*
Thou shalt have no other gods before me .
*
Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image ,
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above ,
or that is on the earth beneath ,
or that is in the water under the earth .
*
Thou shalt not bow thyself down 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 showing mercy unto the thousandth generation 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 labor ,
and do all thy work .
*
But the seventh day is the sabbath in honor of the Lord thy God ;
on it thou shalt not do any work ,
neither thou ,
nor thy son ,
nor thy daughter ,
thy man
servant ,
nor thy maid
servant ,
nor thy cattle ,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ;
*
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth ,
the sea ,
and all that is in them ,
and rested on the seventh day ;
therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day ,
and hallowed it .
*
Honor thy father and thy mother ;
in order that thy days may be prolonged 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 neighbor .
*
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor
s house .
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor
s wife ,
nor his man
servant ,
nor his maid
servant ,
nor his ox ,
nor his ass ,
nor any thing that is thy neighbor
s .
*
And all the people perceived the thunders ,
and the lightnings ,
and the sound of the cornet ,
and the mountain smoking ;
and when the people saw it ,
they removed trembling ,
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 in order to prove you ,
did God come ,
and in order 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 shalt thou say unto the children of Israel ,
Ye have seen that from heaven I have spoken with you .
*
Ye shall not make any thing with me ;
gods of silver ,
and gods of gold ye shall not make unto yourselves .
*
An altar of earth shalt thou make unto me ,
and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt
offerings ,
and thy peace
offerings ,
thy sheep ,
and thy oxen ;
in every place where I shall permit my name to be mentioned ,
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 upon my altar ,
that thy nakedness be not laid open thereon .
*
And these are the laws of justice which thou shalt set before them .
*
If thou buy a Hebrew servant ,
six years shall he 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 was the husband of a woman ,
then shall his wife go out with him .
*
If his master should give him a wife ,
and she bear him sons or daughters :
the wife and her children shall belong to her master ,
and he shall go out by himself .
*
And if the servant should plainly say ,
I love my master ,
my wife ,
and my children ;
I will not go out free :
*
Then shall his master bring him unto the judges ,
and he shall bring him to the door ,
or unto the door
post ;
and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl ;
and he shall serve him till the jubilee .
*
And if a man sell his daughter for a maid
servant ,
she shall not go out as the men
servants go out .
*
If she please not her master ,
to whom he hath assigned her ,
then shall he aid her to be redeemed :
unto a strange nation he shall have no power to sell her ,
seeing he hath dealt faithlessly with her .
*
And if he should assign her unto his son ,
then shall he do unto her after the right of the daughters .
*
If he take himself another wife ,
her food ,
her raiment ,
and her duty of marriage ,
shall he not diminish .
*
And if he do not these three things unto her ,
then shall she go out free ,
without money .
*
He that smiteth a man ,
so that he die ,
shall surely be put to death .
*
And if he did not lie in wait ,
but God let it come into his hand ,
then will I appoint thee a place whither he shall flee .
*
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor ,
to slay him with guile ,
from my altar shalt thou take him ,
that he may die .
*
And he that smiteth his father ,
or his mother ,
shall surely be put to death .
*
And he that stealeth a man ,
and selleth him ,
and he be found in his hand ,
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 the other with a stone ,
or with the fist ,
and he die not ,
but keepeth his bed :
*
If he rise again ,
and walk abroad upon his crutch ,
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 ,
it shall be surely avenged .
*
Nevertheless ,
if he continue alive a day or two ,
it shall not be avenged ;
for he is his money .
*
If men strive ,
and hurt a woman with child ,
so that her children depart from her ,
and yet no farther mischief follow :
he shall be surely punished ,
according as the husband of the woman will lay upon him ;
and he shall pay this by the decision of the judges .
*
And if any mischief follow ,
then shalt thou give life for life .
*
Eye for eye ,
tooth for tooth ,
hand for hand ,
foot for foot ,
*
Burning for burning ,
wound for wound ,
bruise for bruise .
*
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 the sake of his eye .
*
And if he strike out his man
servant
s tooth ,
or his maid
servant
s tooth ,
he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth .
*
If an ox gore a man or a woman ,
that he die :
then shall the ox 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 gore in time past ,
and warning have been given to his owner ,
and he hath not kept him in ,
and he killeth a man or a woman :
the ox shall be stoned ,
and his owner also should of right be put to death ;
*
But there shall be laid on him a sum of money in atonement ,
and he shall give the ransom of his life whatsoever may be laid upon him .
*
If he gore a son ,
or gore a daughter ,
according to this judgment shall be done unto him .
*
If the ox gore a man
servant or a maid
servant ,
thirty shekels of silver shall he give to his master ,
and the ox shall be stoned .
*
And if a man open a pit ,
or if a man dig a pit ,
and do not cover it ,
and an ox or an ass fall therein :
*
The owner of the pit shall make it good ,
he shall make restitution in money unto the owner thereof ;
and the dead beast shall be his .
*
And if one man
s ox hurt the ox of another ,
that he die :
then shall they sell the live ox ,
and divide his money ;
and the dead ox also they shall divide .
*
But if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past ,
and his owner hath not kept him in :
he shall surely pay ox for ox ;
and the dead shall belong to him .

*

*
*
*
*
*
Thou shalt not receive a false report :
put not thy 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 incline after many ,
to wrest judgment .
*
Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause .
*
If thou meet thy 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 unload him ,
thou shalt surely unload with him .
*
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause .
*
Keep thyself far from a false speech ;
and him who hath been declared innocent and righteous thou shalt not slay ;
for I will not justify the wicked .
*
And thou shalt take no bribe ;
for the bribe blindeth the clear
sighted ,
and perverteth the words of the righteous .
*
And a stranger shalt thou not oppress ;
for ye know well the spirit of the stranger ,
seeing ye yourselves were strangers in the land of Egypt .
*
And six years shalt thou sow thy land ,
and shalt gather in the fruits thereof ;
*
But the seventh year shalt thou let it rest and lie still ;
that the needy of thy people may eat ;
and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat :
in like manner shalt thou deal with thy vineyard ,
and with thy olive tree .
*
Six days shalt thou do thy work ,
and on the seventh day shalt thou rest ;
that thy ox and thy ass may repose ,
and the son of thy hand
maid ,
and the stranger ,
may be refreshed .
*
And in all things that I have said unto you be on your guard ;
and of the name of other gods ye shall make no mention ,
it shall not be heard out of thy mouth .
*
Three times shalt thou keep a feast unto me in the year .
*
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep ;
seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread ,
as I commanded thee ,
in the time appointed of the month of Abib ;
for in it thou camest out from Egypt :
and none shall appear before me empty .
*
And the feast of harvest ,
of the first
fruits of thy labors ,
which thou hast sown in thy field :
and the feast of ingathering ,
at the conclusion of the year ,
when thou gatherest in thy labors out of the field .
*
Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord ,
the Eternal .
*
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread ;
neither shall the fat of my festive sacrifice remain until morning .
*
The first of the first
fruits of thy land shalt thou bring unto the house of the Lord thy God .
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother
s milk .
*
Behold ,
I send an angel before thee ,
to keep thee on the way ,
and to bring thee unto the place which I have prepared .
*
Beware of him ,
and obey his voice ,
disobey him not ;
for he will not pardon your transgression ,
because my name is in him .
*
But if thou wilt carefully hearken to his voice ,
and do all that I shall speak :
then will I be an enemy unto thy enemies ,
and afflict those that afflict thee .
*
For my angel shall go before thee ,
and bring thee in unto the Emorites ,
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 deeds ;
but thou shalt utterly overthrow them ,
and completely break down their statuary images .
*
And ye shall serve the Lord your God ,
and he will bless thy bread ,
and thy water ;
and I will remove sickness from the midst of thee .
*
There shall be no one casting her children ,
nor a barren woman ,
in thy land ;
the number of thy days I will make full .
*
My terror will I send before thee ,
and will bring in confusion all the people to which thou shalt come ;
and I will make all thy enemies turn their back unto thee .
*
And I will send hornets before thee ,
and they 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 .
*
Little by little will I drive them out from before thee ,
until thou be increased and canst possess the land .
*
And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea unto the sea of the Philistines ,
and from the desert unto the river ;
for I will deliver into your hand the inhabitants of the land ,
and thou shalt drive them out before thee .
*
Thou shalt not make a covenant with them ,
nor with their gods .
*
They shall not dwell in thy land ,
lest they cause thee to sin against me ;
for thou mightest serve their gods ,
and this would surely be a snare unto thee .
*
And unto Moses he said ,
Come up unto the Lord ,
thou ,
and Aaron ,
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
and seventy of the elders of Israel ;
and ye shall bow yourselves down afar off .
*
And Moses alone shall come near unto the Lord ,
but they shall not come nigh ;
and the people shall not go up with him .
*
And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord ,
and all the laws of justice ;
and all the people answered with one voice ,
and said ,
all the words which the Lord hath spoken will we do .
*
And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord ,
and he rose up early in the morning ,
and built an altar at the foot of the mount ,
and twelve pillars ,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel .
*
And he then sent the young men of the children of Israel ,
and they offered burnt
offerings ,
and sacrificed peace
offerings unto the Lord ,
of oxen .
*
And Moses took the half of the blood ,
and put it in basins ;
and the half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar .
*
And he took the book of the covenant ,
and read in the hearing of the people ;
and they said ,
all that the Lord hath spoken will we do and obey .
*
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 ,
with Aaron ,
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
and seventy of the elders of Israel .
*
And they saw the God of Israel ;
and the place under his feet was like a paved work of brilliant sapphire ,
and like the color of heaven in clearness .
*
And against the nobles of the children of Israel he stretched not forth his hand ;
and they saw God ,
and did eat and drink .
*
And the Lord said unto Moses ,
come up to me to the mount ,
and remain there :
and I will give thee the tables of stone ,
with the law ,
and the commandment which I have written ,
to teach them .
*
And Moses rose up ,
and his servant Joshua ;
and Moses went up to the mount of God .
*
And unto the elders he said ,
Tarry ye for us here ,
until the time we come again unto you ;
and ,
behold ,
Aaron and Chur are with you ,
whoever may have any cause to be decided ,
let him come unto them .
*
And Moses went up to the mount ,
and the cloud covered the mount .
*
And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai ,
and the cloud covered it six days ;
and he called unto Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud .
*
And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mount ,
before the eyes of the children of Israel .
*
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud ,
and ascended the mount ;
and Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights .
*
And the Lord spoke unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
that they may bring me an offering ;
from every man whose heart prompteth him thereto shall ye take my offering .
*
And this is the offering which ye shall take from them :
gold ,
and silver ,
and copper ,
*
And blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet yarn ,
and linen thread ,
and goats
hair ,
*
And rams
skins died red ,
and badgers
skins ,
and shittim wood ,
*
Oil for lighting ,
spices for the anointing oil ,
and for the incense of spices ,
*
Onyx stones ,
and stones for setting ,
for the ephod ,
and for the breastplate .
*
And they shall make me a sanctuary ;
and I will dwell in the midst of them .
*
In accordance with all that I show thee ,
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 its length ,
and a cubit and a half its breadth ,
and a cubit and a half its height .
*
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold ,
within and without shalt thou overlay it ;
and thou shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about .
*
And thou shalt cast for it four rings of gold ,
and put them on the four corners thereof ;
namely ,
two rings shall be on the one side of it ,
and two rings on the other side of it .
*
And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood ,
and overlay them with gold .
*
And thou shalt place the staves into the rings ,
upon the sides of the ark ,
that the ark may be borne with them .
*
In the rings of the ark shall the staves remain :
they shall not be removed therefrom .
*
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I will give unto thee .
*
And thou shalt make a cover of pure gold ;
two cubits and a half shall be its length ,
and a cubit and a half its breadth .
*
And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold ,
of beaten work shalt thou make them ,
on the two ends of the cover .
*
And make one cherub on the one end ,
and the other cherub on the other end ;
from the cover itself shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof .
*
And the cherubim shall be spreading forth their wings on high ,
overshadowing the cover with their wings ,
with their faces turned one to the other ;
toward the cover shall the faces of the cherubim be directed .
*
And thou shalt put the cover above upon the ark ;
and in the ark shalt thou put the testimony which I will give unto thee .
*
And I will meet with thee there ,
and I will speak with thee from above the cover ,
from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony ,
all that which I will command thee unto the children of Israel .
*
Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood ;
two cubits shall be its length ,
and a cubit its breadth ,
and a cubit and a half its height .
*
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold ,
and make thereto a crown of gold round about .
*
And thou shalt make unto it a rim of a hand
s breadth round about ;
and thou shalt make a golden crown on its rim round about .
*
And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold ,
and thou shalt put the rings on the four corners that are on its four feet .
*
Close under the rim shall the rings be ;
as receptacles for the staves ,
to bear the table .
*
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood ,
and overlay them with gold ;
and the table shall be borne with them .
*
And thou shalt make its dishes ,
and its spoons ,
and its supporters ,
and its purifying tubes ,
wherewith is to be covered :
of pure gold shalt thou make them .
*
And thou shalt set upon the table show
bread before me always .
*
And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold :
of beaten work shall the candlestick be made ;
its shaft ,
and its branches ,
its bowls ,
its knobs ,
and its flowers ,
shall be out of one piece with it .
*
And six branches shall come out of its sides ;
three branches of the candlestick out of the one side ,
and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side .
*
Three bowls ,
almond
shaped ,
shall be on one branch ,
with a knob and a flower ;
and three bowls ,
almond
shaped ,
on the other branch ,
with a knob and a flower :
so on the six branches that come out of the candlestick .
*
And on the candlestick itself shall be four bowls ,
almond
shaped ,
its knobs and its flowers .
*
And there shall be a knob under the two branches that come out of the same ,
and a knob under the two branches that come out of the same ,
and a knob under the two branches that come out of the same ;
for the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick .
*
Their knobs and their branches shall be out of one piece with it ;
all of it shall be one piece of beaten work of pure gold .
*
And thou shalt make its seven lamps ;
and when they light its lamps ,
it shall give light toward the body of it .
*
And its tongs ,
and its snuff
dishes shall be of pure gold .
*
Out of a talent of pure gold shall he make it ,
with all these vessels .
*
And look that thou make them after their pattern ,
which thou wast shown on the mount .
*
The tabernacle also shalt thou make of ten curtains ,
of twisted linen thread ,
and blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet yarn ,
with cherubim ,
of weaver
s work shalt thou make them .
*
The length of each curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits ,
and the breadth of each curtain four cubits :
there shall be one measure for all the curtains .
*
Five of the curtains shall be coupled together ,
one to another ;
and the other five curtains shall be coupled ,
one to another .
*
And thou shalt make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain which is on the outside in the coupling ;
and the like shalt thou make on the edge of the curtain which is the outmost in the second coupling .
*
Fifty loops shalt thou make on the one curtain ,
and fifty loops shalt thou make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling ;
the loops shall be fixed opposite each other .
*
And thou shalt make fifty hooks of gold ;
and thou shalt couple the curtains together one unto the other with the hooks ,
and the tabernacle shall thus be one piece .
*
And thou shalt make curtains of goats
hair for a tent over the tabernacle ;
eleven curtains shalt thou make the same .
*
The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits ,
and the breadth of each curtain four cubits :
there shall be one measure for the eleven curtains .
*
And thou shalt couple five of the curtains by themselves ,
and six of the curtains by themselves ;
and thou shalt double the sixth curtain toward the front side of the tabernacle .
*
And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is the outmost in the coupling ,
and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second coupling .
*
And thou shalt make fifty hooks of copper ;
and thou shalt put the hooks into the loops ,
and couple the tent together ,
that it may be one piece .
*
And the part hanging over in the excess of the curtains of the tent ,
the half curtain which is over ,
shall hang down over the back part of the tabernacle .
*
And the cubit on the one side ,
and the cubit on the other side in the excess in the length of the curtains of the tent ,
shall be hanging down over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side ,
to cover it .
*
And thou shalt make a cover for the tent of rams
skins dyed red ,
and a cover of badgers
skins above .
*
And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood ,
standing up .
*
Ten cubits shall be the length of each board ,
and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of each one board .
*
There shall be two tenons for every board ,
fitted in ,
one against the other :
the like shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle .
*
And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle :
twenty boards for the south side ,
on the right .
*
And forty sockets of silver shalt thou make under the twenty boards ;
two sockets under the one board for its two tenons ,
and two sockets under the other board for its two tenons .
*
And for the other side of the tabernacle ,
for the north side ,
there shall be twenty boards ;
*
And their forty sockets of silver ;
two sockets under the one board ,
and two sockets under the other board .
*
And for the back wall of the tabernacle ,
westward ,
thou shalt make six boards .
*
And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the back wall .
*
And they shall be closely fitting together beneath ,
and they shall be closely joined together on the top by means of one ring :
thus shall it be for both of them ;
for the two corners shall they be .
*
And so they shall be eight boards ,
and their sockets of silver ,
sixteen sockets :
two sockets under the one board ,
and two sockets under the other board .
*
And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood :
five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle ;
*
And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle ,
and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle ,
for the back wall ,
westward ;
*
And the middle bar in the midst of the boards ,
passing from the one end to the other end .
*
And the boards thou shalt overlay with gold ,
and their rings thou shalt make of gold ,
as receptacles for the bars ;
and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold .
*
And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle ,
according to the fashion thereof ,
which thou hast been shown on the mount .
*
And thou shalt make a vail of blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet yarn ,
and twisted linen ,
of weavers
work shall it be made ,
with cherubim .
*
And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold :
their hooks also shall be of gold ;
upon four sockets of silver .
*
And thou shalt hang up the vail under the hooks ;
and thou shalt bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony ;
and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the holy of holies .
*
And thou shalt put the cover upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies .

In the tabernacle of the congregation ,
without the vail ,
which is before the testimony ,
shall Aaron with his sons arrange it from the evening to the morning ,
before the Lord ;
as a statute for ever unto their generations ,
on behalf of the children of Israel .
*
And thou shalt let come near unto thee Aaron thy brother ,
and his sons with him ,
from among the children of Israel ,
that he may be a priest unto me ;
Aaron ,
Nadab and Abihu ,
Elazar and Ithamar ,
the sons of Aaron .
*
And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother ,
for glory and for ornament .

according to the order of their birth .
*
With the work of an engraver in stone ,
like the engraving of a signet ,
shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel ;
fitted in settings of gold shalt thou make them .
*
And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder
pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial unto the children of Israel ;
and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders for a memorial .
*
And thou shalt make casings of gold ;
*
And two chains of pure gold ,
with knots at the ends ,
of wreathed work shalt thou make them ,
and thou shalt fasten the wreathed chains to the casings .
*
And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment ,

s work ;
after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it ;

s heart ,
when he goeth in before the Lord ;
and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually .
*
And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod altogether of blue woolen yarn .
*
And there shall be an opening in the top of it ,
in the midst thereof ;
it shall have a binding of woven work ,
round about its opening ,
as it is on the opening of a habergeon ,
so shall it be thereon ,
that it be not rent .
*
And thou shalt make on its lower hem pomegranates of blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet yarn ,
round about its lower hem ;
and bells of gold between them round about :
*
A golden bell and a pomegranate ,
a golden bell and a pomegranate ,
on the lower hem of the robe round about .
*
And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministereth ;
and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in into 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 ,
like the engraving of a signet ,
Holy unto the Lord .
*
And thou shalt fasten it on a lace of blue ,
and it shall be upon the mitre ;
upon the front of the mitre shall it be .
*
And it shall be upon Aaron
s forehead ;
and Aaron shall atone for the iniquity of the holy things ,
which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts ;
and it shall be upon his forehead always ,
that they may be received in favor before the Lord .
*
And thou shalt make the coat of linen checkered ,
and thou shalt make a mitre of linen ,
and a girdle shalt thou make of embroiderer
s work .
*
And for Aaron
s sons shalt thou make coats ,
and thou shalt make for them girdles ;
and bonnets thou shalt make for them ,
for glory and for ornament .
*
And thou shalt clothe therewith Aaron thy brother ,
and his sons with him ;
and thou shalt anoint them ,
and consecrate them ,
and sanctify them ,
that they may be priests unto me .
*
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness ;
from the loins even unto the thighs shall they 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 ;
a statute for ever shall it be for him and for his seed after him .
*
And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them ,
to become priests unto me :
Take one young bullock ,
and two rams without blemish ,
*
And unleavened bread ,
and unleavened cakes ,
mingled with oil ,
and unleavened wafers ,
anointed with oil ;
of fine wheaten flour shalt thou make them .
*
And thou shalt put them into one basket ,
and bring them near in the basket ,
with the bullock and the two rams .
*
And Aaron and his sons shalt thou bring near unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and shalt wash them with water .
*
And thou shalt take the garments ,
and clothe Aaron with the coat ,
and the robe of the ephod ,
and the ephod ,
and the breastplate ,
and gird him with the girdle of the ephod :
*
And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head ,
and thou shalt fasten the holy crown upon the mitre .
*
Then shalt thou take the anointing oil ,
and pour it upon his head ,
and anoint him .
*
And his sons shalt thou bring near ,
and clothe them with coats .
*
And thou shalt gird them with the girdles ,
Aaron and his sons ,
and bind the bonnets on them ;
and the priest
s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute :
and thus shalt thou consecrate Aaron and his sons .
*
And thou shalt cause the bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and Aaron and his sons shall lay 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 all the remaining blood shalt thou pour out beside the bottom of the altar .
*
And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and the midriff 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 .
*
And the one ram shalt thou take ;
and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram .
*
And thou shalt slay the ram ,
and thou shalt take his blood ,
and sprinkle it upon the altar round about .
*
And the ram shalt thou cut in pieces ,
and wash his inwards ,
and his legs ,
and put them with his pieces ,
and with his head .
*
And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar ,
it is a burnt
offering unto the Lord ;
it is a sweet savor ,
an offering made by fire unto the Lord .
*
And thou shalt take the other ram ;
and Aaron and his sons shall lay 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 Aaron
s right ear ,
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 them upon Aaron ,
and upon his garments ,
and upon his sons ,
and upon the garments of his sons with him :
and he shall be hallowed ,
together with his garments ,
and his sons ,
and the garments of his sons with him .
*
And thou shalt take from the ram the fat and the rump ,
and the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and the midriff 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 the oiled bread ,
and one wafer ,
out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord .
*
And thou shalt put all this upon the hands of Aaron ,
and upon the hands of his sons ;
and thou shalt make with them a waving before the Lord .
*
And thou shalt then take them from their hands ,
and burn them upon the altar upon the burnt
offering ;
for a sweet savor before the Lord ,
it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord .
*
And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of the consecration that belongeth to Aaron ,
and make therewith a waving before the Lord ;
and it shall belong to thee as thy portion .
*
And thou shalt sanctify the breast which hath been waved ,
and the shoulder which hath been lifted up ,
which was waved ,
and which was heaved up ,
of the ram of the consecration ,
of that which belongeth to Aaron ,
and of that which belongeth to his sons :
*
That they shall belong to Aaron and to his sons ,
as a statute forever ,
from the children of Israel ;
for it is a heave
offering ;
and a heave
offering it shall remain from the children of Israel ,
from the sacrifices of their peace
offerings ,
as their heave
offering unto the Lord .
*
And the holy garments belonging to Aaron shall be for his sons after him ,
to anoint them therein ,
and to consecrate them therein .
*
Seven days shall that one of his sons put them on who is to be priest in his place ,
who is to go into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the sanctuary .
*
And the ram of the consecration shalt thou take ,
and seethe his flesh in a holy place .
*
And Aaron with 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 them and to sanctify them ;
but a stranger shall not eat thereof ,
because they are holy .
*
And if aught of the flesh of the consecration sacrifice ,
or of the bread ,
remain unto the morning ,
then shalt thou burn the remainder with fire ;
it shall not be eaten ,
because it is holy .
*
And thou shalt do unto Aaron ,
and to his sons thus ,
all as I have commanded thee ;
seven days shalt thou consecrate them .
*
And a bullock shalt thou offer every day for a sin
offering as an atonement :
and thou shalt cleanse the altar ,
in as much as thou makest an atonement upon it ;
and thou shalt anoint it ,
to sanctify it .
*
Seven days shalt thou make an atonement upon the altar and sanctify it ;
and the altar shall be most holy ;
whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy .
*
And this is what thou shalt offer upon the altar :
Two sheep of the first year for every day ,
continually .
*
The one sheep shalt thou offer in the morning ;
and the other sheep shalt thou offer toward evening .
*
And a tenth part of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil ,
and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink
offering ,
shall be for the one sheep .
*
And the other sheep shalt thou offer toward evening ;
according to the meat
offering of the morning ,
and according to its drink
offering shalt thou do unto it ,
for a sweet savor ,
an offering made by fire unto the Lord .
*
A continual burnt
offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord ;
where I will meet with you ,
to speak unto thee there .
*
And I will meet there with the children of Israel ,
and it shall be sanctified by my glory .
*
And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and the altar :
and both Aaron and his sons will I sanctify ,
that they may he priests unto me .
*
And I will dwell among the children of Israel ,
and I will be to them for a God .
*
And they shall know that I am the Eternal ,
their God ,
who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt ,
that I might dwell among them :
I am the Lord their God .
