Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass in those days ,
when Moses was grown up ,
that he went out to his brothers ,
and looked on their burdens :
and he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew ,
one of his brothers .
*
And he looked this way and that way ,
and when he saw that there was no man ,
he struck the Egyptian ,
and hid him in the sand .
*
And he went out the second day ,
and ,
look ,
two men of the Hebrews were striving together :
and he said to him who did the wrong ,
Why do you strike your fellow man ?
*
And he said ,
Who made you as a man ,
a prince and a judge over us ?
Do you think to kill me ,
as you killed the Egyptian ?
And Moses feared ,
and said ,
Surely the thing is known .
*
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing ,
he sought to slay Moses .
But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh ,
and he settled in the land of Midian after having moved to the land of Midian .
And [
one day ]
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 you (
note :){+}(:
note )
have come so soon today ?
*
And they said ,
An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds ,
and moreover he drew water for us ,
and watered the flock .
*
And he said to his daughters ,
And where is he ?
Why is it that you (
note :){+}(:
note )
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 bore a son ,
and he named him Gershom ;
for he said ,
I have been a sojourner in a foreign land .
*
And it came to pass in the course of those many days ,
that the king of Egypt died :
and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the slavery ,
and they cried ,
and their cry came up to God by reason of the slavery .
*
And God heard their groaning ,
and God remembered his covenant with Abraham ,
with Isaac ,
and with Jacob .
*
And God saw the sons of Israel ,
and God took knowledge [
of them ].
*
And God spoke all these words ,
saying ,
*
I am Yahweh your God ,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of slaves .
*
You will have no other gods before me .
*
You will not make for yourself a graven image ,
nor 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 .
*
You will not bow yourself down to them ,
nor serve them ,
for I Yahweh your God am a jealous God ,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons ,
on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me ,
*
and showing loving-kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments .
*
You will not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain ;
for Yahweh will not hold him innocent that takes his name in vain .
*
Remember the Sabbath day ,
to keep it holy .
*
Six days you will labor ,
and do all your work ;
*
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God :
you will not do any work ,
you ,
nor your son ,
nor your daughter ,
your male slave ,
nor your female slave ,
nor your cattle ,
nor your stranger who is inside your gates :
*
for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth ,
the sea ,
and all that is in them ,
and rested the seventh day :
therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day ,
and hallowed it .
*
Honor your father and your mother ,
that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you .
*
You will not kill .
*
You will not commit adultery .
*
You will not steal .
*
You will not bear false witness against your fellow man .
*
You will not covet your fellow man '
s house ,
you will not covet your fellow man '
s wife ,
nor his male slave ,
nor his female slave ,
nor his ox ,
nor his donkey ,
nor anything that is your fellow man '
s .
*
And all the people perceived the thunderings ,
and the lightnings ,
and the voice of the trumpet ,
and the mountain smoking :
and when the people saw it ,
they trembled ,
and stood far off .
*
And they said to Moses ,
You speak with us ,
and we will hear ;
but don '
t let God speak with us ,
or else we will die .
*
And Moses said to the people ,
Don '
t be afraid :
for God has come to prove you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
and that his fear may be before you {+},
that you {+}
don '
t sin .
*
And the people stood far off ,
and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was .
*
And Yahweh said to Moses ,
Thus you will say to the sons of Israel ,
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
yourselves have seen that I have talked with you {+}
from heaven .
*
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
will not make me [
into anything ].
Gods of silver or gods of gold you {+}
will not make for yourselves .
*
An altar of earth you will make to me ,
and will sacrifice on it your burnt-offerings ,
and your peace-offerings ,
your sheep ,
and your oxen :
in every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you .
*
And if you make me an altar of stone ,
you will not build it of cut stones ;
for if you lift up your tool on it ,
you have polluted it .
*
Neither will you go up by steps to my altar ,
that your nakedness will not be uncovered on it .
*
Now these are the ordinances which you will set before them .
*
If you buy a Hebrew slave ,
six years he will serve :
and in the seventh he will go out free for nothing .
*
If he comes in by himself ,
he will go out by himself :
if he is married ,
then his wife will go out with him .
*
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters ;
the wife and her children will be her master '
s ,
and he will go out by himself .
*
But if the slave will plainly say ,
I love my master ,
my wife ,
and my sons ;
I will not go out free :
*
then his master will bring him to the gods ,
and will bring him to the door ,
or to the door-post ;
and his master will bore his ear through with an awl ;
and he will serve him forever .
*
And if a man sells his daughter to be a slave ,
she will not go out as the male slaves do .
*
If she doesn '
t please her master ,
who has espoused her to himself ,
then he will let her be redeemed :
to sell her to a foreign people he will have no power ,
seeing he has betrayed her .
*
And if he espouses her to his son ,
he will deal with her after the manner of daughters .
*
If he takes him another [
wife ];
her food ,
her raiment ,
and her duty of marriage ,
he will not diminish .
*
And if he does not do these three things to her ,
then she will go out for nothing ,
without money .
*
He who strikes a man ,
so that he dies ,
will surely be put to death .
*
And if a man lies not in wait ,
but God delivers [
him ]
into his hand ;
then I will appoint you a place where he will flee .
*
And if a man comes presumptuously on his fellow man ,
to slay him with guile ;
you will take him from my altar ,
that he may die .
*
And he who strikes his father ,
or his mother ,
will be surely put to death .
*
And he who steals a man ,
and sells him ,
or if he is found in his hand ,
he will surely be put to death .
*
And he who curses his father or his mother ,
will surely be put to death .
*
And if men contend ,
and a man strikes his fellow man with a stone ,
or with his fist ,
and he doesn '
t die ,
but keeps his bed ;
*
if he rises again ,
and walks abroad on his staff ,
then he who struck him will be innocent :
he will only pay for the loss of his time ,
and will cause him to be thoroughly healed .
*
And if a man strikes his male slave ,
or his female slave ,
with a rod ,
and he dies under his hand ;
he will surely be punished .
*
Notwithstanding ,
if he continues a day or two ,
he will not be punished :
for he is his money .
*
And if men strive together ,
and hurt a pregnant woman so that her children are born prematurely and no harm follows ;
he will be surely fined ,
according to as the woman '
s husband will lay on him ;
and he will pay as the judges determine .
*
But if any harm follows ,
then you will 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 strikes the eye of his male slave ,
or the eye of his female slave ,
and destroys it ;
he will let him go free for his eye '
s sake .
*
And if he strikes out his male slave '
s tooth ,
or his female slave '
s tooth ,
he will let him go free for his tooth '
s sake .
*
And if an ox gores a man or a woman to death ,
the ox will be surely stoned ,
and its flesh will not be eaten ;
but the owner of the ox will be innocent .
*
But if the ox was in the habit to gore in time past ,
and it has been testified to its owner ,
and he has not kept it in ,
but it has killed a man or a woman ,
the ox will be stoned ,
and its owner also will be put to death .
*
If there be laid on him a ransom ,
then he will give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him .
*
Whether it has gored a son ,
or has gored a daughter ,
according to this judgment it will be done to him .
*
If the ox gores a male slave or a female slave ,
there will be given to their master thirty shekels of silver ,
and the ox will be stoned .
*
And if a man will open a pit ,
or if a man will dig a pit and not cover it ,
and an ox or a donkey fall in it ,
*
the owner of the pit will make it good ;
he will give money to its owner ,
and the dead [
beast ]
will be his .
*
And if a man '
s ox hurts his fellow man '
s ox ,
so that it dies ,
then they will sell the live ox ,
and divide the price of it :
and the dead they will also divide .
*
Or if it is known that the ox was in the habit to gore in time past ,
and its owner has not kept it in ,
he will surely pay ox for ox ,
and the dead [
beast ]
will be his own .
*
If a man will steal an ox ,
or a sheep ,
and kill it ,
or sell it ;
he will pay five oxen for an ox ,
and four sheep for a sheep .
*
If the thief is found breaking in ,
and is struck so that he dies ,
there will be no bloodguiltiness for him .
*
If the sun is risen on him ,
there will be bloodguiltiness for him ;
he will make restitution :
if he has nothing ,
then he will be sold for his theft .
*
If the theft is found in his hand alive ,
whether it is ox ,
or donkey ,
or sheep ,
he will pay double .
*
If a man will cause a field or vineyard to be eaten ,
and will let his beast loose ,
and it feeds in another man '
s field ;
of the best of his own field ,
and of the best of his own vineyard ,
he will make restitution .
*
If fire breaks out ,
and catches in thorns ,
so that the shocks of grain ,
or the standing grain ,
or the field are consumed ;
he who kindled the fire will surely make restitution .
*
If a man will deliver to his fellow man money or stuff to keep ,
and it is stolen out of the man '
s house ;
if the thief is found ,
he will pay double .
*
If the thief is not found ,
then the master of the house will come near to the gods , [
to see ]
whether he has not put his hand to his fellow man '
s goods .
*
For every matter of trespass ,
whether it is for ox ,
for donkey ,
for sheep ,
for raiment , [
or ]
for any manner of lost thing ,
of which one says ,
This is it ,
the cause of both parties will come before the gods ;
he whom the gods will condemn will pay double to his fellow man .
*
If a man delivers to his fellow man a donkey ,
or an ox ,
or a sheep ,
or any beast ,
to keep ;
and it dies ,
or is hurt ,
or driven away ,
no man seeing it :
*
the oath of Yahweh will be between them both ,
whether he has not put his hand to his fellow man '
s goods ;
and its owner will accept it ,
and he will not make restitution .
*
But if it is stolen from him ,
he will make restitution to its owner .
*
If it is torn in pieces ,
let him bring it for witness :
he will not make good that which was torn .
*
And if a man borrows anything of his fellow man ,
and it is hurt ,
or dies ,
its owner not being with it ,
he will surely make restitution .
*
If its owner is with it ,
he will not make it good :
if it is rented ,
it is included in its rental payment .
*
And if a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed ,
and lies with her ,
he will surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife .
*
If her father completely refuses to give her to him ,
he will pay money according to the dowry of virgins .
*
You will not allow a witch to live .
*
Whoever lies with a beast will surely be put to death .
*
Whoever sacrifices to the gods will be completely destroyed .
*
And a sojourner you will not wrong ,
neither will you oppress him :
for you (
note :){+}(:
note )
were sojourners in the land of Egypt .
*
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
will not afflict any widow ,
or fatherless child .
*
If you afflict him at all ,
and he cries at all to me ,
I will surely hear his cry ;
*
and my wrath will wax hot ,
and I will kill you (
note :){+}(:
note )
with the sword ;
and your {+}
wives will be widows ,
and your {+}
sons fatherless .
*
If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor ,
you will not be to him as a creditor ;
neither will you (
note :){+}(:
note )
lay on him interest .
*
If you at all take your fellow man '
s garment to pledge ,
you will restore it to him before the sun goes down :
*
for that is his only covering ,
it is his garment for his skin :
in what will he sleep ?
And it will come to pass ,
when he cries to me ,
that I will hear ;
for I am gracious .
*
You will not revile the gods ,
nor curse a ruler of your people .
*
You will not delay to offer of your harvest ,
and of the outflow of your presses .
The firstborn of your sons you will give to me .
*
Likewise you will do with your oxen , [
and ]
with your sheep :
seven days it will be with its dam ;
on the eighth day you will give it to me .
*
And you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will be holy men to me :
therefore you {+}
will not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field ;
you {+}
will cast it to the dogs .
*
You will not take up a false report :
don '
t put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness .
*
You will not follow a multitude to do evil ;
neither will you speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to pervert [
justice ]:
*
neither will you favor a poor man in his cause .
*
If you meet your enemy '
s ox or his donkey going astray ,
you will surely bring it back to him again .
*
If you see the donkey of him who hates you lying under his burden ,
you will forbear to leave him ,
you will strengthen [
it ]
with him .
*
You will not pervert the justice [
due ]
to your poor in his cause .
*
Keep far from a false matter ;
and don '
t slay the innocent and righteous :
for I will not justify the wicked .
*
And you will take no bribe :
for a bribe blinds those who have sight ,
and perverts the words of the righteous .
*
And a sojourner you will not oppress :
for you (
note :){+}(:
note )
know the heart of a sojourner ,
seeing you {+}
were sojourners in the land of Egypt .
*
And six years you will sow your land ,
and will gather in its increase :
*
but the seventh year you will let it rest and lie fallow ;
that the poor of your people may eat :
and what they leave the beast of the field will eat .
In like manner you will deal with your vineyard , [
and ]
with your oliveyard .
*
Six days you will do your work ,
and on the seventh day you will rest ;
that your ox and your donkey may have rest ,
and the son of your female slave ,
and the sojourner ,
may be refreshed .
*
And in all things that I have said to you (
note :){+}(:
note )
you {+}
take heed :
and make no mention of the name of other gods ,
neither let it be heard out of your mouth .
*
Three times you will keep a feast to me in the year .
*
The feast of unleavened bread you will keep :
seven days you will eat unleavened bread ,
as I commanded you ,
at the time appointed in the month Abib (
for in it you came out from Egypt );
and no one will appear before me empty :
*
and the feast of harvest ,
the first fruits of your labors ,
which you sow in the field :
and the feast of ingathering ,
at the end of the year ,
when you gather in your labors out of the field .
*
Three times in the year all your males will appear before the Sovereign Yahweh .
*
You will not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread ;
neither will the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning .
*
The first of the first fruits of your ground you will bring into the house of Yahweh your God .
You will not boil a young goat in it mother '
s milk .
*
Look ,
I send an angel before you ,
to keep you by the way ,
and to bring you into the place which I have prepared .
*
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
take heed before him ,
and listen to his voice ;
don '
t provoke him ;
for he will not pardon your {+}
transgression :
for my name is in him .
*
But if you will indeed listen to his voice ,
and do all that I speak ;
then I will be an enemy to your enemies ,
and an adversary to your adversaries .
*
For my angel will go before you ,
and bring you in to the Amorite ,
and the Hittite ,
and the Perizzite ,
and the Canaanite ,
the Hivite ,
and the Jebusite :
and I will cut them off .
*
You will not bow down to their gods ,
nor serve them ,
nor do after their works ;
but you will completely overthrow them ,
and break in pieces their pillars .
*
And you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will serve Yahweh your {+}
God ,
and he will bless your bread ,
and your water ;
and I will take sickness away from the midst of you .
*
There will be none that cast her young ,
nor that will be barren ,
in your land :
the number of your days I will fulfill .
*
I will send my terror before you ,
and will discomfit all the people to whom you will come ,
and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you .
*
And I will send the hornet before you ,
which will drive out the Hivite ,
the Canaanite ,
and the Hittite ,
from before you .
*
I will not drive them out from before you in one year ,
or else the land will become desolate ,
and the beasts of the field will multiply against you .
*
By little and little I will drive them out from before you ,
until you are increased ,
and inherit the land .
*
And I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines ,
and from the wilderness to the River :
for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your (
note :){+}(:
note )
hand :
and you will drive them out before you .
*
You will make no covenant with them ,
nor with their gods .
*
They will not dwell in your land ,
or else they will make you sin against me ;
for if you serve their gods ,
it will surely be a snare to you .
*
And he said to Moses ,
Come up to Yahweh ,
you ,
and Aaron ,
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
and seventy of the elders of Israel ;
and you (
note :){+}(:
note )
worship far off :
*
and Moses alone will come near to Yahweh ;
but they will not come near ;
neither will the people go up with him .
*
And Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh ,
and all the ordinances :
and all the people answered with one voice ,
and said ,
All the words which Yahweh has spoken we will do .
*
And Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh ,
and rose up early in the morning ,
and built an altar under the mount ,
and twelve pillars ,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel .
*
And he sent young men of the sons of Israel ,
who offered burnt-offerings ,
and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen to Yahweh .
*
And Moses took half of the blood ,
and put it in basins ;
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 Yahweh has spoken we will do ,
and be obedient .
*
And Moses took the blood ,
and sprinkled it on the people ,
and said ,
Here is the blood of the covenant ,
which Yahweh has made with you (
note :){+}(:
note )
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 sapphire stone ,
and as it were the very heaven for clearness .
*
And on the nobles of the sons of Israel he didn '
t lay his hand :
and they saw God ,
and ate and drank .
*
And Yahweh said to Moses ,
Come up to me into the mount ,
and be there :
and I will give you the tables of stone ,
and the law and the commandment ,
which I have written ,
that you may teach them .
*
And Moses rose up ,
and Joshua his minister :
and Moses went up into the mount of God .
*
And he said to the elders ,
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
tarry here for us ,
until we come again to you {+}:
and ,
look ,
Aaron and Hur are with you {+}:
whoever has a cause ,
let him come near to them .
*
And Moses went up into the mount ,
and the cloud covered the mount .
*
And the glory of Yahweh stayed on mount Sinai ,
and the cloud covered it six days :
and the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud .
*
And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel .
*
And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud ,
and went up into the mount :
and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights .
*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak to the sons of Israel ,
that they take for me an offering :
of every man whose heart makes him willing you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will take my offering .
*
And this is the offering which you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will take of them :
gold ,
and silver ,
and bronze ,
*
and blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet ,
and fine linen ,
and goats ' [
hair ],
*
and rams '
skins dyed red ,
and sealskins ,
and acacia wood ,
*
oil for the light ,
spices for the anointing oil ,
and for the sweet incense ,
*
onyx stones ,
and stones to be set ,
for the ephod ,
and for the breastplate .
*
And let them make me a sanctuary ,
that I may stay among them .
*
According to all that I show you ,
the pattern of the tabernacle ,
and the pattern of all its furniture ,
even so you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will make it .
*
And they will make an ark of acacia wood :
two cubits and a half will be its length ,
and a cubit and a half its width ,
and a cubit and a half its height .
*
And you will overlay it with pure gold ,
inside and outside you will overlay it ,
and will make on it a crown of gold round about .
*
And you will cast four rings of gold for it ,
and put them in the four feet of it ;
and two rings will be on the one side of it ,
and two rings on the other side of it .
*
And you will make poles of acacia wood ,
and overlay them with gold .
*
And you will put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark ,
with which to bear the ark .
*
The poles will be in the rings of the ark :
they will not be taken from it .
*
And you will put into the ark the testimony which I will give you .
*
And you will make a mercy-seat of pure gold :
two cubits and a half [
will be ]
its length ,
and a cubit and a half its width .
*
And you will make two cherubim of gold ;
of beaten work you will make them ,
at the two ends of the mercy-seat .
*
And make one cherub at the one end ,
and one cherub at the other end :
of one piece with the mercy-seat you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will make the cherubim on the two ends of it .
*
And the cherubim will spread out their wings on high ,
covering the mercy-seat with their wings ,
with their faces one to another ;
toward the mercy-seat will the faces of the cherubim be .
*
And you will put the mercy-seat above on the ark ;
and in the ark you will put the testimony that I will give you .
*
And there I will meet with you ,
and I will commune with you from above the mercy-seat ,
from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony ,
of all things which I will give you in commandment to the sons of Israel .
*
And you will make a table of acacia wood :
two cubits [
will be ]
its length ,
and a cubit its width ,
and a cubit and a half its height .
*
And you will overlay it with pure gold ,
and make thereto a crown of gold round about .
*
And you will make to it a border of a handbreadth round about ;
and you will make a golden crown to its border round about .
*
And you will make for it four rings of gold ,
and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it .
*
Close by the border will the rings be ,
for places for the poles to bear the table .
*
And you will make the poles of acacia wood ,
and overlay them with gold ,
that the table may be borne with them .
*
And you will make its dishes ,
and its spoons ,
and its flagons ,
and its bowls ,
with which to pour out :
of pure gold you will make them .
*
And you will set on the table showbread before me always .
*
And you will make a lampstand of pure gold :
of beaten work will the lampstand be made ,
even its base ,
and its shaft ;
its cups ,
its knops ,
and its flowers ,
will be of one piece with it .
*
And there will be six branches going out of its sides ;
three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it ,
and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it :
*
three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch ,
a knop and a flower ;
and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch ,
a knop and a flower :
so for the six branches going out of the lampstand :
*
and in the lampstand four cups made like almond-blossoms ,
its knops ,
and its flowers ;

*
And they will be on Aaron ,
and on his sons ,
when they go in to the tent of meeting ,
or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place ;
that they will not bear iniquity ,
and die :
it will be a statute forever to him and to his seed after him .
*
And this is the thing that you will do to them to hallow them ,
to serve me in the priest '
s office :
take one young bull and two rams without blemish ,
*
and unleavened bread ,
and unleavened cakes mingled with oil ,
and unleavened wafers anointed with oil :
of fine wheat flour you will make them .
*
And you will put them into one basket ,
and bring them in the basket ,
with the bull and the two rams .
*
And Aaron and his sons you will bring to the door of the tent of meeting ,
and will wash them with water .
*
And you will take the garments ,
and put on Aaron the coat ,
and the robe of the ephod ,
and the ephod ,

*
And you will gird them with belts and bind head-tires on them :

*
And you will kill the bull before Yahweh ,
at the door of the tent of meeting .
*
And you will take of the blood of the bull ,
and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger ;
and you will pour out all the blood at the base of the altar .
*
And you will take all the fat that covers the insides ,
and the caul on the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is on them ,
and burn them on the altar .
*
But the flesh of the bull ,
and its skin ,
and its dung ,
you will burn with fire outside the camp :
it is a sin-offering .
*
You will also take the one ram ;
and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the ram .
*
And you will slay the ram ,
and you will take its blood ,
and sprinkle it round about on the altar .
*
And you will cut the ram into its pieces ,
and wash its insides ,
and its legs ,
and put them with its pieces ,
and with its head .
*
And you will burn the whole ram on the altar :
it is a burnt-offering to Yahweh ;
it is a sweet savor ,
an offering made by fire to Yahweh .
*
And you will take the other ram ;
and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the ram .
*
Then you will kill the ram ,
and take of its blood ,
and put it on the tip of Aaron '
s and his sons '
right ear ,
and on the thumb of their right hand ,
and on the great toe of their right foot ,
and sprinkle the blood on the altar round about .
*
And you will take of the blood that is on 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 will be hallowed ,
and his garments ,
and his sons ,
and his sons '
garments with him .
*
Also you will take of the ram the fat ,
and the fat tail ,
and the fat that covers the insides ,
and the caul of the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is on them ,
and the right thigh (
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 unleavened bread that is before Yahweh .
*
And you will put the whole on the hands of Aaron ,
and on the hands of his sons ,
and will wave them for a wave-offering before Yahweh .
*
And you will take them from their hands ,
and burn them on the altar on the burnt-offering ,
for a sweet savor before Yahweh :
it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh .
*
And you will take the breast of Aaron '
s ram of consecration ,
and wave it for a wave-offering before Yahweh :
and it will be your portion .
*
And you will sanctify the breast of the wave-offering ,
and the thigh of the heave-offering ,
which is waved ,
and which is heaved up ,
of the ram of consecration ,
even of that which is for Aaron ,
and of that which is for his sons :
*
and it will be for Aaron and his sons as [
their ]
portion forever from the sons of Israel ;
for it is a heave-offering :
and it will be a heave-offering from the sons of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings ,
even their heave-offering to Yahweh .
*
And the holy garments of Aaron will be for his sons after him ,
to be anointed in them ,
and to be consecrated in them .
*
Seven days will the son who is priest in his stead put them on ,
when he comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place .
*
And you will take the ram of consecration ,
and boil its flesh in a holy place .
*
And Aaron and his sons will eat the flesh of the ram ,
and the bread that is in the basket ,
at the door of the tent of meeting .
*
And they will eat those things with which atonement was made ,
to consecrate [
and ]
to sanctify them :
but a stranger will not eat ,
because they are holy .
*
And if anything of the flesh of the consecration ,
or of the bread ,
remains to the morning ,
then you will burn the remainder with fire :
it will not be eaten ,
because it is holy .
*
And thus you will do to Aaron ,
and to his sons ,
according to all that I have commanded you :
seven days you will consecrate them .
*
And every day you will offer the bull of sin-offering for atonement :
and you will cleanse the altar ,
when you make atonement for it ;
and you will anoint it ,
to sanctify it .
*
Seven days you will make atonement for the altar ,
and sanctify it :
and the altar will be most holy ;
whatever touches the altar will be holy .
*
Now this is that which you will offer on the altar :
two lambs a year old day by day continually .
*
The one lamb you will offer in the morning ;
and the other lamb you will offer at evening :
*
and with the one lamb a tenth part [
of an ephah ]
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 .
*
And the other lamb you will offer at evening ,
and will do thereto according to the meal-offering of the morning ,
and according to the drink-offering of it ,
for a sweet savor ,
an offering made by fire to Yahweh .
*
It will be a continual burnt-offering throughout your (
note :){+}(:
note )
generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Yahweh ,
where I will meet with you {+},
to speak there to you .
*
And there I will meet with the sons of Israel ;
and [
the Tent ]
will be sanctified by my glory .
*
And I will sanctify the tent of meeting ,
and the altar :
Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify ,
to serve me in the priest '
s office .
*
And I will stay among the sons of Israel ,
and will be their God .
*
And they will know that I am Yahweh their God ,
that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt ,
that I might stay among them :
I am Yahweh their God .
