Exodus 24–31

24And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, ^aNadab, and Abihu, ^band seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. ²And Moses ^calone shall come near the Lord: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. ³And 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, ^dAll the words which the Lord hath said will we do. ⁴And Moses ^ewrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve ^fpillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. ⁵And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed ^gpeace offerings of oxen unto the Lord. ⁶And Moses ^htook half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. ⁷And he ^htook the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, ⁱAll that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. ^8kAnd 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. ⁹Then ^lwent up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: ¹⁰And they ^msaw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a ⁿsapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his ^oclearness. ¹¹And upon ^pthe nobles of the children of Israel he ^qlaid not his hand: also they saw God, and did ^reat and drink.

¹²And the Lord said unto Moses, ^sCome up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee ^ttables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. ¹³And Moses rose up, and ^uhis minister Joshua: and Moses ^wwent up into the mount of God. ¹⁴And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and ^xHur are with you: if any man ^yhave any matters to do, let him come unto them. ¹⁵And Moses went up into the mount, and ^za cloud covered the mount. ¹⁶And ^athe 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. ¹⁷And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like ^bdevouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. ¹⁸And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and ^cMoses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

25And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ^2aSpeak unto the children of Israel, that they ^†bring me an ^||offering: ^bof every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my ^||offering. ³And this is the ^||offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, ⁴And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and ^||fine linen, and goats’ hair, ⁵And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood, ^6cOil for the light, ^dspices for anointing oil, and for ^esweet incense, ^7fOnyx stones, and stones to be set in the ^gephod, and in the ^gbreastplate. ⁸And let them make me a ^hsanctuary; that ⁱI may dwell among them. ^9jAccording 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.

^10kAnd 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. ¹¹And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, ^lwithin and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a ^mcrown of gold round about. ¹²And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four ⁿcorners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. ¹³And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. ^15oThe staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. ¹⁶And thou shalt put into the ark ^pthe testimony which I shall give thee. ¹⁷And thou shalt make ^qa mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. ¹⁸And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of ^rbeaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. ¹⁹And 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. ²⁰And ^sthe 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. ^21tAnd thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and ^uin the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. ²²And ^xthere I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from ^ybetween 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.

^23zThou 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. ²⁴And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a ^acrown of gold round about. ²⁵And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden ^acrown to the border thereof round about. ²⁶And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. ²⁷Over against the border shall the rings be for ^bplaces of the staves to bear the table. ²⁸And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. ²⁹And thou shalt make ^cthe dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, ^||to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them. ³⁰And thou shalt set upon the table ^dshewbread before me alway.

^31eAnd 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. ³²And 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: ³³Three 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. ³⁴And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. ³⁵And 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. ³⁶Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. ³⁷And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and ^fthey shall ^||light the lamps thereof, that they may ^ggive light over against ^†it. ³⁸And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. ³⁹Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. ⁴⁰And ^hlook that thou make them after their pattern, ^†which was shewed thee in the mount.

26Moreover ^athou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined ^blinen, and ^bblue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims ^†of cunning work shalt thou make them. ²The 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. ³The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. ⁴And 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. ⁵Fifty 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. ⁶And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.

⁷And thou shalt make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make. ⁸The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure. ⁹And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle. ¹⁰And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second. ¹¹And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the ^||tent together, that it may be one. ¹²And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle. ¹³And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side ^†of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it. ¹⁴And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of ^crams’ skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers’ skins.

¹⁵And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of ^cshittim wood standing up. ¹⁶Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board. ¹⁷Two ^†tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle. ^18…
