Exodus 24:1–25:40

And 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. And Moses calone 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, dAll the words which the Lord hath said will we do. And 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. And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed gpeace offerings of oxen unto the Lord. And Moses htook half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. And 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. kAnd 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 lwent up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And 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. 11 And upon pthe nobles of the children of Israel he qlaid not his hand: also they saw God, and did reat and drink.

12 And 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. 13 And Moses rose up, and uhis minister Joshua: and Moses wwent up into the mount of God. 14 And 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. 15 And Moses went up into the mount, and za cloud covered the mount. 16 And 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. 17 And 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. 18 And 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.

25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, aSpeak 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. 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, cOil for the light, dspices for anointing oil, and for esweet incense, fOnyx stones, and stones to be set in the gephod, and in the gbreastplate. And let them make me a hsanctuary; that iI may dwell among them. jAccording 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.

10 kAnd 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. 11 And 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. 12 And 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. 13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. 15 oThe staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. 16 And thou shalt put into the ark pthe testimony which I shall give thee. 17 And 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. 18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of rbeaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 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. 20 And 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. 21 tAnd thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and uin the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And 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.

23 zThou 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. 24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a acrown of gold round about. 25 And 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. 26 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. 27 Over against the border shall the rings be for bplaces of the staves to bear the table. 28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. 29 And 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. 30 And thou shalt set upon the table dshewbread before me alway.

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