1  Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel His people, how that YHWH had brought Israel out of Egypt.

1  And when Jethro, the priest of Midian, the kinsman of Moses, had heard all that God had done for Moses, and for his people Israel, and that the Lord had led Israel away from Egypt,

2  And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,

2  he brought Zipporah, the wife of Moses, whom he was to return to him,

2  Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he divorced her.

3  and her two sons; of whom the name of the one was Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land';

4  and the name of the other was Eliezer: 'for the God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.'

4  and the other in truth was Eliezer, (“For the God of my father,” he said, “is my helper, and has rescued me from the sword of Pharaoh.”)

5  And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the mount of God;

5  And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, and his sons and his wife, went forth to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped on the mount of God.

5  And so Jethro, the kinsman of Moses, with his sons and his wife, came to Moses in the desert, where he was encamped next to the mountain of God.

6  and he said unto Moses: 'I thy father-in-law Jethro am coming unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.'

6  And he sent word to Moses, saying: “I, Jethro, your kinsman, have come to you, with your wife, and your two sons with her.”

6  And Moses was told, Behold, your father-in-law Jethro has come to you with your wife and your two sons accompanying him,

7  And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.

7  And going out to meet his kinsman, he reverenced and kissed him. And they saluted each other with peaceful words. And when he had arrived at the tent,

8  And Moses told his father-in-law all that YHWH had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the YHWH delivered them.

8  And Moses related to his father-in-law all things that the Lord did to Pharao and all the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the labour that had befallen them in the way, and that the Lord had rescued them out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians.

8  Moses explained to his kinsman all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians on behalf of Israel, and all the hardships which had befallen them on the journey, and how the Lord had freed them.

9  And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which YHWH had done to Israel, in that He had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

9  And Jothor was amazed at all the good things which the Lord did to them, forasmuch as he rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.

10  And Jethro said: 'Blessed be YHWH, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

10  And Jothor said, Blessed be the Lord, because he has rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.

10  And he said: “Blessed is the Lord, who has freed his people from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh; he has rescued his people from the hand of Egypt.

11  Now I know that YHWH is greater than all gods; yea, for that they dealt proudly against them.'

11  Now know I that the Lord is great above all gods, because of this, wherein they attacked them.

11  Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods; for despite the counsel which the Egyptians had devised against them, he triumphed over them.

12  And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

12  And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses took whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for God, for Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

12  And so Jethro, the kinsman of Moses, offered holocausts and sacrifices to God. And Aaron arrived with all the elders of Israel, in order to eat bread with him in the sight of God.

13  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood about Moses from the morning unto the evening.

13  Then, the next day, Moses sat down in order to judge the people, and they stood beside Moses from morning, even until evening.

14  And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said: 'What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand about thee from morning unto even?'

14  And Jothor having seen all that Moses did to the people, says, What is this that thou doest to the people? wherefore sittest thou alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning till evening?

14  And when, of course, his kinsman saw all that he did among the people, he said: “What is this that you do among the people? Why do you sit alone, while all the people stand before you, from morning, even until evening?”

15  And Moses said unto his father-in-law: 'Because the people come unto me to inquire of God;

15  And Moses answered him: “The people come to me seeking the verdict of God.

16  when they have a matter, it cometh unto me; and I judge between a man and his neighbour, and I make them know the statutes of God, and His laws.'

16  For whenever there is a dispute among them, and they come to me, I give judgement upon each, and I teach them the ordinances of God and his law.

17  And Moses' father-in-law said unto him: 'The thing that thou doest is not good.

17  And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, Thou dost not this thing rightly,

17  But he said, “This is not good, what you are doing.

18  Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

18  thou wilt wear away with intolerable weariness, both those and all this people which is with thee: this thing is hard, thou wilt not be able to endure it thyself alone.

18  You will be consumed by foolish efforts, both you and this people who are with you. The task is beyond your strength; you will not be able bear it alone.

19  Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God be with thee: be thou for the people before God, and bring thou the causes unto God.

19  But listen to my words and counsels, and then God will be with you. Be available to the people in that which pertains to God, so as to refer what they say to him,

20  And thou shalt teach them the statutes and the laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

20  and to reveal to the people the ceremonies, and the rituals of worship, and the way by which they should progress, and the work that they should do.

20  And you shall warn them to keep the ordinances and laws that you may show them how to conduct themselves and the works that they must do.

21  Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

21  And do thou look out for thyself out of all the people able men, fearing God, righteous men, hating pride, and thou shalt set over the people captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens.

21  Then provide, from all of the people, men capable and fearing God, in whom there is truth and who hate avarice, and appoint from them tribunes, and leaders of hundreds, and of fifties, and of tens,

22  And let them judge the people at all seasons; and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves; so shall they make it easier for thee and bear the burden with thee.

22  And they shall judge the people at all times, and the too burdensome matter they shall bring to thee, but they shall judge the smaller cases; so they shall relieve thee and help thee.

22  who may judge the people at all times. Then, when anything greater will have occurred, they may refer it to you, and let them judge the lesser matters only. And so it may be lighter for you, the burden being divided among others.

23  If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people also shall go to their place in peace.'

23  If you will do this, you will fulfill the orders of God, and you will be able to uphold his precepts. And this entire people will return to their places in peace.”

23  If you shall do this thing, and God commands you so, then you shall be able to endure, and all this people shall also go each one to his own house in peace.

24  So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.

24  Having heard this, Moses did everything that he had suggested to him.

24  So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said. And saying Moses to the people: I alone can't bear you. The LORD God made you many, behold, as the stars of the havens for multitude. LORD God of your fathers increased you a thousand times over, and he blessed you as he spoke. Thus how can I bear burdens of you and strifes of you? Select for yourself men wise and understanding and knowlegeable to tribes of you. And I shall place them in heads of you. And they are answering and they are saying: It is good to do what you have spoken.

25  And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

25  And Moses chose out able men out of all Israel, and he made them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens over the people.

25  And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. And officers to tribes of them. And he is commanding with the judges to say: hear between a man and his brother, and you judge righteously between man and between brother of him, and between the sojourner of him. Not you shall respect faces in sentence. Small and great you are hearing. Not you shall be afraid of the face of the man as justice is God's. And matter that is too hard for you you will bring to me and I will hear it. And he is commanding them all words that they should do.

26  And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

27  And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

27  And he dismissed his kinsman, who, turning back, went to his own land.

19:1  In the third month after the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

19:2  And when they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount.

2  And they departed from Raphidin, and came into the wilderness of Sina, and there Israel encamped before the mountain.

2  Thus, setting out from Raphidim, and going directly to the desert of Sinai, they encamped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents away from the region of the mountain.

19:3  And Moses went up unto God, and YHWH called unto him out of the mountain, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel

3  And Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called him out of the mountain, saying, These things shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report them to the children of Israel.

3  Then Moses ascended to God. And the Lord called to him from the mountain, and he said: “This you shall say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the sons of Israel

19:4  Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself.

4  ‘You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, in what way I carried you upon the wings of eagles and how I have taken you for myself.

4  You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you as though you were on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

19:5  Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine;

5  And now if ye will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, ye shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine.

5  If, therefore, you will hear my voice, and you will keep my covenant, you will be to me a particular possession out of all people. For all the earth is mine.

19:6  and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.'

6  And you will be to me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you will speak to the sons of Israel.”

19:7  And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which YHWH commanded him.

7  Moses went, and calling together those greater by birth among the people, he set forth all the words which the Lord had commanded.

19:8  And all the people answered together, and said: 'All that YHWH hath spoken we will do.' And Moses reported the words of the people unto the YHWH.

19:9  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever.' And Moses told the words of the people unto the YHWH.

9  And the Lord said to Moses, Lo! I come to thee in a pillar of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever: and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.

9  the Lord said to him: “Soon now, I will come to you in the mist of a cloud, so that the people may hear me speaking to you, and so that they may believe you continuously.” Therefore, Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord,

19:10  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments,

10  And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and solemnly charge the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments.

10  who said to him: “Go to the people, and sanctify them today, and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments.

19:11  and be ready against the third day; for the third day YHWH will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

11  And let them be ready against the third day, for on the third day the Lord will descend upon mount Sina before all the people.

19:12  And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying: Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it; whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death;

12  And you will establish limits for the people all around, and you will say to them: ‘Take care not to ascend to the mountain, and that you do not touch its parts. All who touch the mountain, shall die a death.’

12  And you shall publish a warning among the people, saying, Take heed to yourselves, neither go up into the mountain, nor draw near to the border of it; whoever draws near to the mountain shall be put to death

19:13  no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live; when the ram's horn soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.'

13  A hand shall not touch it, for every one that touches shall be stoned with stones or shot through with a dart, whether beast or whether man, it shall not live: when the voices and trumpets and cloud depart from off the mountain, they shall come up on the mountain.

13  Hands shall not touch him, but he shall be crushed with stones, or he shall be pierced through with darts. Whether it be a beast or a man, he shall not live. For when the trumpet begins to sound, perhaps they might go up toward the mountain.”

19:14  And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments.

19:15  And he said unto the people: 'Be ready against the third day; come not near a woman.'

15  he said to them, “Be prepared on the third day, and do not draw near to your wives.”

15  And he said to the people, Be ready on the third day; do not touch your wives.

19:16  And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a horn exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled.

16  And now, the third day arrived and the morning dawned. And behold, thunders began to be heard, and also lightning flashed, and a very dense cloud covered the mountain, and the noise of the trumpet resounded vehemently. And the people who were in the camp were fearful.

19:17  And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

17  And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood by under the camp.

17  And when Moses had led them out to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the base of the mountain.

19:18  Now mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because YHWH descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

18  Then all of Mount Sinai was smoking. For the Lord had descended over it with fire, and smoke ascended from it, as from a furnace. And the entire mountain was terrible.

19:19  And when the voice of the horn waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

19  And the sound of the trumpet gradually increased to be louder, and extended to be longer. Moses was speaking, and God was answering him.

19:20  And YHWH came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount; and the YHWH called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

20  And the Lord came down upon mount Sina on the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

20  And the Lord descended over Mount Sinai, to the very top of the mountain, and he called Moses to its summit. And when he had ascended there,

19:21  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the YHWH to gaze, and many of them perish.

21  And God spoke to Moses, saying, Go down, and solemnly charge the people, lest at any time they draw nigh to God to gaze, and a multitude of them fall.

21  he said to him: “Descend, and call the people to witness, lest they might be willing to transgress the limits, so as to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them might perish.

19:22  And let the priests also, that come near to YHWH, sanctify themselves, lest the YHWH break forth upon them.'

22  Likewise, the priests who approach toward the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them down.”

19:23  And Moses said unto YHWH: 'The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for thou didst charge us, saying: Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.'

23  And Moses said to God, The people will not be able to approach to the mount of Sina, for thou hast solemnly charged us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it.

19:24  And YHWH said unto him: 'Go, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the YHWH, lest He break forth upon them.'

24  And the Lord said to him, Go, descend, and come up thou and Aaron with thee; but let not the priests and the people force their way to come up to God, lest the Lord destroy some of them.

19:25  So Moses went down unto the people, and told them.

25  And Moses descended to the people, and he explained everything to them.

20:1  And God spoke all these words, saying

1  And the Lord spoke all these words

20:2  I am YHWH thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

2  “I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, out of the house of servitude.

20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

3  You shall not have strange gods before me.

20:4  Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of 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;

4  You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor a likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth below, nor of those things which are in the waters under the earth.

20:5  thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I YHWH 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;

5  You shall not adore them, nor shall you worship them. I am the Lord your God: strong, zealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

20:6  and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments.

20:7  Thou shalt not take the name of YHWH thy God in vain; for the YHWH will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.

7  You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. For the Lord will not hold harmless one who takes the name of the Lord his God falsely.

20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

8  Remember that you are to sanctify the day of the Sabbath.

20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;

9  For six days, you will work and accomplish all your tasks.

20:10  but the seventh day is a sabbath unto YHWH thy God, in it thou shalt not do any manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;

10  But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the stranger that sojourns with thee.

10  But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it: you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, your beast and the newcomer who is within your gates.

20:11  for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day; wherefore the YHWH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

11  For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all the things that are in them, and so he rested on the seventh day. For this reason, the Lord has blessed the day of the Sabbath and sanctified it.

20:12  Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which YHWH thy God giveth thee.

12  Honor your father and your mother, so that you may have a long life upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

20:13  Thou shalt not murder.

13  You shall not kill.

20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery.

14  You shall not commit adultery.

20:15  Thou shalt not steal.

15  You shall not steal.

20:16  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

16  You shall not speak false testimony against your neighbor.

20:17  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

17  You shall not covet the house of your neighbor; neither shall you desire his wife, nor male servant, nor female servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor anything that is his.”

17  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, and not thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. And when it so happens that LORD God brings you to the land of Caanan, which you are coming to posses, you shall set-up there for you great stones and plaster them with plaster and you write on the stones all words of this law. And it becomes for you that across the Jordan you shall raise these stones, which I command you today, in mountain Grizim. And you build there the altar to the LORD God of you. Altar of stones. Not you shall wave on them iron. With whole stones you shall build the altar to LORD God of you. And you bring on it ascend offerings to LORD God of you, and you sacrifice peace offerings, and you eat there and you rejoice before the face of the LORD God of you. The mountain this is across the Jordan behind the way of the rising of the sun, in the land of Caanan who is dwelling in the desert before the Galgal, beside Alvin-Mara, before Sechem.

20:18  And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

18  Then all the people considered the voices, and the lights, and the sound of the trumpet, and the smoking mountain. And being terrified and struck with fear, they stood at a distance,

18  And all the people observed the thunderings and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw all of this, they were afraid and they stood afar off.

20:19  And they said unto Moses: 'Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.'

19  saying to Moses: “Speak to us, and we will listen. Let not the Lord speak to us, lest perhaps we may die.”

19  No Translation Available And they said unto Moses, Behold, LORD God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and voice of Him we heard from the midst of the fire. Today we saw that speaks God with the man and he lives. And now why shall we die? This great fire consumes us, and if we will hear more of the voice of the LORD God of us we will die. Because what is the flesh that can hear the voice of God and live, as he has spoken to us from the midst of the fire and we lived. Go hear all that he will say to us the LORD God and then you will tell us all that he spoke and we will listen and we will do. But let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20:20  And Moses said unto the people: 'Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that His fear may be before you, that ye sin not.'

20  And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that ye sin not.

20  And Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. For God came in order to test you, and so that the dread of him might be with you, and you would not sin.”

20:21  And the people stood afar off; but Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

21  And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was .And the LORD said to Moses to say: I heard what people have said. All that they have spoken to you, they have spoken wisely. All that they have spoken let them put in their hearts so that they can keep my commandments in all their days, so that it would be good to them and to sons of them forever. Prophet I shall raise up to them from the midsts of their brothers, and I will place words of me into his mouth to speak to them all that I'm commanding them. And it becomes that the man who will not listen to his words that are spoken in my name, I shall require from him. But the prophet who will speak insolently in my name that which I have not instructed him to speak, or if he speaks in the name of other Gods, such prophet shall die. And if you will ask yourself in your heart how you shall know which word God has spoken and which he has not, see if the word spoken comes to pass. And if it shall not come to pass then this is not the word of the LORD, in insolence spoken the prophet. Not you shall listen to him. Go now back to your tent and I will speak to you regarding all commandments and ordinances and verdicts that you shall teach them, and what to do in the land that I give them for possession.

20:22  And YHWH said unto Moses: Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel: Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

22  And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report it to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

22  Thereafter, the Lord said to Moses: “This you shall say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

20:23  Ye shall not make with Me--gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.

23  You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.

23  You shall not make for yourselves gods of gold to be worshipped along with me, neither shall you make for yourselves gods of silver.

20:24  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 every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come unto thee and bless thee.

24  Ye shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it ye shall sacrifice your whole burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to thee and bless thee.

20:25  And if thou make Me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast profaned it.

25  And if you make an altar of stone for me, you shall not build it from cut stones; for if you lift up a tool over it, it will be defiled.

20:26  Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.

26  Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it.

26  You shall not ascend by steps to my altar, lest your nakedness be revealed.”

21:1  Now these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them.

1  “These are the judgments which you shall place before them

21:2  If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

2  If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve you; in the seventh, he shall depart freely, without charge.

2  When you buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve you; and in the seventh year he shall go out free from your house without price.

21:3  If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.

3  If he should have come in alone, he shall also go forth alone; and if his wife should have gone in together with him, his wife also shall go out.

3  With whatever clothing he arrived, with the like let him depart. If he has a wife, his wife also shall depart, at the same time.

21:4  If his master give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

4  Moreover, if his master give him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters, the wife and the children shall be his master’s; and he shall go forth alone.

4  But if his lord gave him a wife, and she has borne sons and daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her lord. Yet still, he himself will go out with his clothing.

21:5  But if the servant shall plainly say: I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free;

5  And if the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and children, I will not go away free;

21:6  then his master shall bring him unto God, and 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 for ever.

6  his master shall bring him to the judgement-seat of God, and then shall he bring him to the door, —to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

6  then his lord shall make an offering for him to the heavens, and it shall be applied to the door and the posts, and he will pierce his ear with an awl. And he shall be his servant in perpetuity.

21:7  And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.

7  And if any one sell his daughter as a domestic, she shall not depart as the maid-servants depart.

7  If anyone sells his daughter to be a servant, she shall not depart as a female servant is accustomed to go out.

21:8  If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed; to sell her unto a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

21:9  And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

9  And if he should have betrothed her to his son, he shall do to her according to the right of daughters.

9  But if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall treat her according to the custom with daughters.

21:10  If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her conjugal rights, shall he not diminish.

10  And if he take another to himself, he shall not deprive her of necessaries and her apparel, and her companionship with him.

10  And if he take him another wife ; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

21:11  And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money.

11  If he does not do these three things, she shall depart freely, without money.

11  And if be does not these three things to her, then she shall go out free without price.

21:12  He that smiteth a man, so that he dieth, shall surely be put to death.

12  And if any man smite another and he die, let him be certainly put to death.

12  Whoever strikes a man, intending to murder, shall be put to death.

21:13  And if a man lie not in wait, but God cause it to come to hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he may flee.

13  But as for him that did it not willingly, but God delivered him into his hands, I will give thee a place whither the slayer may flee.

13  But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands, then I will appoint for you a place to which he must flee.

21:14  And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from Mine altar, that he may die.

14  If someone murders his neighbor with deliberation, by lying in wait, you shall tear him away from my altar, so that he may die.

21:15  And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

15  Whoever smites his father or his mother, let him be certainly put to death.

21:16  And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

16  He that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die.

21:17  And he that curseth his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

17  Whosoever shall steal one of the children of Israel, and prevail over him and sell him, and he be found with him, let him certainly die.

17  Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother shall die a death.

21:18  And if men contend, and one smite the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed;

18  And if two men revile each other and smite the one the other with a stone or his fist, and he die not, but be laid upon his bed;

18  If men will have quarreled, and one of them has struck his neighbor with a stone or a fist, and he does not die, but lies in bed,

21:19  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.

19  if he gets up again and can walk outside on his staff, he who struck him will be innocent, but only if he makes sufficient restitution for his deeds and for the cost of the physicians.

21:20  And if a man smite his bondman, or his bondwoman, with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

20  Whoever strikes his male or female servant with a staff, and if they have died by his hands, he shall be guilty of a crime.

20  And if a man strikes his servant, or his maid with a staff, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

21:21  Notwithstanding if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his money.

21  But if the servant continue to live a day or two, let not the master be punished; for he is his money.

21  But if he survives for one day or two, he shall not be subject to punishment, because it is his money.

21:22  And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow, he shall be surely fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

22  And if two men strive and smite a woman with child, and her child be born imperfectly formed, he shall be forced to pay a penalty: as the woman’s husband may lay upon him, he shall pay with a valuation.

22  If men will have quarreled, and one of them has struck a pregnant woman, and as a result she miscarries, but she herself survives, he shall be subject to as much damage as the husband of the woman shall petition from him, or as arbitrators shall judge.

21:23  But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

23  But if her death will have followed, he will repay a life for a life,

23  And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life

21:24  eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

24  an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,

21:25  burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

25  a scrape for a scrape, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.

25  Smiting for smiting, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

21:26  And if a man smite the eye of his bondman, or the eye of his bondwoman, and destroy it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

26  And if one smite the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his maid-servant, and put it out, he shall let them go free for their eye’s sake.

26  If anyone will have struck the eye of his male or female servant, having left them with one eye, he shall release them freely, because of the eye that he has put out.

21:27  And if he smite out his bondman's tooth, or his bondwoman's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

27  And if he should smite out the tooth of his man-servant, or the tooth of his maid-servant, he shall send them away free for their tooth’s sake.

27  Likewise, if he knocks out a tooth of his male or female servant, he shall similarly release them freely.

21:28  And if an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, the ox shall be surely stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

28  If an oxor any animal smiting a man or a woman, that they die: then the animal shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the animal shall be quit.

21:29  But if the ox was wont to gore in time past, and warning hath been given to its owner, and he hath not kept it in, but it hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

29  But if the bull should have been given to goring in former time, and men should have told his owner, and he have not removed him, but he should have slain a man or woman, the bull shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.

29  But if the ox had been pushing with his horn, from yesterday and the day before, and they warned his owner, but he did not confine it, and it will have killed a man or a woman, then the ox shall be stoned, and his owner shall be killed.

21:30  If there be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

30  And if a ransom should be imposed on him, he shall pay for the ransom of his soul as much as they shall lay upon him.

30  But if they have imposed a price on him, he shall give, in exchange for his life, whatever is asked.

21:31  Whether it have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

31  And if the bull gore a son or daughter, let them do to him according to this ordinance.

31  Likewise, if it has struck a son or a daughter with its horns, it shall be subject to a similar verdict.

21:32  If the ox gore a bondman or a bondwoman, he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

21:33  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,

33  And if any one open a pit or dig a cavity in stone, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall in there,

33  If a man digs or opens a cistern, and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

21:34  the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money unto the owner of them, and the dead beast shall be his.

34  then the owner of the cistern shall repay the price of the beasts, and what is dead will belong to him.

21:35  And if one man's ox hurt another's, so that it dieth; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it; and the dead also they shall divide.

35  And if any man’s bull gore the bull of his neighbour, and it die, they shall sell the living bull and divide the money, and they shall divide the dead bull.

35  If the ox of a stranger wounds the ox of another, and it has died, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the price, but the carcass of the dead one they shall distribute between them.

21:36  Or if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and its owner hath not kept it in; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his own.

36  But if the bull be known to have been given to goring in time past, and they have testified to his owner, and he have not removed him, he shall repay bull for bull, but the dead shall be his own.

36  But if he knew that his ox had pushed with its horns, yesterday and the day before, and its owner did not confine it, then he shall repay an ox for an ox, and he will receive the whole carcass.”

22:2  If a thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.

2  And if the thief be found in the breach made by himself and be smitten and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.

2  If a thief will have been discovered breaking into a house, or digging under it, and he has received a mortal wound, he who struck him down will not be guilty of blood.

22:3  If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him--he shall make restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

3  But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.

3  But if he did this when the sun was risen, he has perpetrated a homicide, and he shall die. If he does not have the means to make restitution for the theft, he shall be sold.

22:4  If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay double.

4  If whatever he stole should be found with him, a living thing, either an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, he shall repay double.

22:5  If a man cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it 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.

5  And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.

5  If there is any damage to a field or a vineyard, when he has released his cattle to pasture on the land of a stranger, he shall repay the best of what he has in his own field, or in his own vineyard, according to the estimation of the damage.

7  And if any one give to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief be found he shall repay double.

7  If anyone will have entrusted money, or a container, to his friend to keep, and if these have been stolen from the one who received them: if the thief is found, he shall repay double.

22:8  If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto God, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

8  But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbour’s deposit,

22:9  For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith: 'This is it,' the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbour.

9  according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatsoever in fact it may be, —the judgement of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double.

22:10  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;

10  And if any one give to his neighbour to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,

10  If anyone will have entrusted a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to the keeping of his neighbor, and it will have died, or become disabled, or have been captured by enemies, and no one saw it,

22:11  the oath of YHWH shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

11  an oath of God shall be between both, each swearing that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbour’s deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.

11  then there shall be an oath between them, that he did not lay his hand on the goods of his neighbor. And the owner shall accept the oath, and he will not be compelled to make restitution.

22:12  But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

12  And if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.

12  But if it will have been taken away by theft, he shall repay the damages to the owner.

22:13  If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which was torn.

13  And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to witness the prey, and he shall not make compensation.

13  If it has been eaten by a wild beast, let him carry what was killed to him, and then he shall not make restitution.

22:14  And if a man borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

14  And if any one borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation.

14  If anyone borrows from his neighbor any of these things, and it has died or been disabled when the owner was not present, he shall be compelled to make restitution.

22:15  If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hireling, he loseth his hire.

15  But if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be a compensation to him instead of his hire.

22:16  And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

16  If a man has led astray a virgin not yet betrothed, and he has slept with her, he shall pay her dowry and have her as a wife.

22:17  If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

17  And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins.

17  If the father of the virgin is not willing to give her, he shall pay money according to manner of a dowry, which virgins are accustomed to receive.

20  He who sacrifices to idols shall be utterly destroyed; but to the LORD alone shall he sacrifice.

22:21  And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

21  You shall not harass the newcomer, nor shall you afflict him. For you yourselves were once newcomers in the land of Egypt.

21  Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22:22  Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

22  Ye shall hurt no widow or orphan.

22  You shall not harm a widow or an orphan.

22:23  If thou afflict them in any wise--for if they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry--

23  If you hurt them, they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry.

22:24  My wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

24  And my fury will be enraged, and I will strike you down with the sword. And your wives will become widows, and your sons will become orphans.

22:25  If thou lend money to any of My people, even to the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest.

25  And if thou shouldest lend money to thy poor brother who is by thee, thou shalt not be hard upon him thou shalt not exact usury of him.

25  If you lend money to the poor of my people who live among you, you shall not coerce them like a collector, nor oppress them with usury.

22:26  If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down;

26  If you at all take your neighbor's clothes as a pledge, you must give them back to him by sunset;

22:27  for that is his only covering, it is his garment 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.

27  For it is all that he has to cover himself, to clothe his body; nor does he have anything else in which to sleep. If he cries out to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.

27  For they are his only covering, it is his raiment for his body; with what shall he sleep? And if he prays before me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate.

22:28  Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people.

28  You shall not disparage the heavens, and you shall not speak evil of the leader of your people.

28  You shall not revile the judge nor curse the ruler of your people.

22:29  Thou shalt not delay to offer of the fulness of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto Me.

29  You shall not delay in paying your tithes and your first-fruits. You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

22:30  Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it Me.

30  You shall do likewise with those of the oxen and the sheep. For seven days, let it be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall repay it to me.

22:31  And ye shall be holy men unto Me; therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

31  You shall be holy men for me. The flesh, from which beasts will have tasted, you shall not eat, but you will throw it to the dogs.”

23:1  Thou shalt not utter a false report; put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

1  “You shall not accept a lying voice. Neither shall you join your hand so as to give false testimony on behalf on the impious.

1  YOU shall not confirm a false report: do not stretch out your hand taking oaths with the guilty to become a false witness for him.

23:2  Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou bear witness in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to pervert justice;

2  You shall not follow the crowd in doing evil. Neither shall you go astray in judgment, by agreeing with the majority opinion, apart from the truth.

23:3  neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.

3  And thou shalt not spare a poor man in judgement.

3  Likewise, you shall not show pity in judgment of the poor.

23:4  If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

4  And if thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt turn them back and restore them to him.

4  If you come across an ox or a donkey of your enemy, which has gone astray, lead it back to him.

23:5  If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, thou shalt forbear to pass by him; thou shalt surely release it with him.

5  If you should see the ass of your enemy lying under its burden, and you are unwilling to help him lift it up, you should surely help him to lift it up nevertheless.

23:6  Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

6  You shall not deviate in judgment of the poor.

23:7  Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked.

7  Thou shalt abstain from every unjust thing: thou shalt not slay the innocent and just, and thou shalt not justify the wicked for gifts.

7  You shall flee from lies. The innocent and the just you shall not kill. For I shun the impious.

23:8  And thou shalt take no gift; for a gift blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

8  Neither shall you accept bribes, which blind even the prudent and subvert the words of the just.

8  And you shall take no bribe; for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise in judgment and perverts the words of the righteous.

23:9  And a stranger shalt thou not oppress; for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

9  You shall not harass a sojourner, for you know the life of a newcomer. For you yourselves also were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

23:10  And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in the increase thereof;

10  Six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in the fruits of it.

10  For six years, you shall sow your land and gather its produce.

23:11  but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

11  But in the seventh year, you shall release it and cause it to rest, so that the poor of your people may eat. And whatever remains, let the beasts of the field eat it. So shall you do with your vineyard and your olive grove.

23:12  Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

12  For six days, you shall work. On the seventh day, you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the newcomer and the son of your handmaid may be refreshed.

12  Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your ass may rest and the son of your handmaid; and that the stranger in your towns may be refreshed.

23:13  And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed; and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

13  Observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.

13  Take heed of all things that I have said to you; and make no mention of the name of false idols, neither think of them.

23:14  Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year.

14  Keep ye a feast to me three times in the year.

23:15  The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep; seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib--for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear before Me empty;

15  You shall keep the festival of the unleavened bread (you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed of the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out of the land of Egypt; you shall not appear before me without a gift offering:)

23:16  and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours, which thou sowest in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.

16  for it is the solemnity of the harvest of the first-fruits of your work, of whatever you have sown in the field. Likewise, it is a solemnity at the end of the season, when you will have gathered in all your crops from the field.

23:17  Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before YHWH GOD.

23:18  Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of My feast remain all night until the morning.

18  For when I shall have cast out the nations from before thee, and shall have widened thy borders, thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.

18  You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven, nor shall the fat of my solemnity remain until morning.

23:19  The choicest first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of YHWH thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.

19  You shall carry the first grain of the land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a young goat in the milk of its mother.

19  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, that one doing this as sacrifice forgets and enrages God of Jacob

23:20  Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

20  And, behold, I send my angel before thy face, that he may keep thee in the way, that he may bring thee into the land which I have prepared for thee.

20  Behold, I will send my Angel, who will go before you, and preserve you on your journey, and lead you into the place that I have prepared.

23:21  Take heed of him, and hearken unto his voice; be not rebellious against him; for he will not pardon your transgression; for My name is in him.

21  Heed him, and hear his voice, and do not hold him in disregard. For he will not release you when you have sinned, and my name is in him.

21  Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

23:22  But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

22  If ye will indeed hear my voice, and if thou wilt do all the things I shall charge thee with, and keep my covenant, ye shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and ye shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall ye speak to the children of Israel, If ye shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell thee, I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.

22  But if you listen to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.

23:23  For Mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

23  For my angel shall go as thy leader, and shall bring thee to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.

23  And my Angel will go before you, and he will bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, whom I will crush.

23:24  Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their doings; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars.

24  You shall not adore their gods, nor worship them. You shall not do their works, but you shall destroy them and break apart their statues.

23:25  And ye shall serve YHWH your God, and He will bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

25  And thou shalt serve the Lord thy God, and I will bless thy bread and thy wine and thy water, and I will turn away sickness from you.

25  And you shall serve the Lord your God, so that I may bless your bread and your waters, and so that I may take away sickness from your midst.

23:26  None shall miscarry, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days I will fulfil.

26  There shall not be on thy land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of thy days.

26  And there shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

23:27  I will send My terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

27  And I will send terror before thee, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies to flee.

27  I will send my fear before you and will destroy all the peoples against whom you shall go to war, and I will make all your enemies flee from you.

23:28  And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

28  sending wasps ahead, so that they will put to flight the Hivite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, before you enter.

28  And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Canaanite, and Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Gergashites, and the Perezites, and the Hivite, and the Ebusites from before thee.

23:29  I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.

29  I will not cast them out from your face in one year, lest the land be reduced to a wilderness and the wild beasts increase against you.

23:30  By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

30  I will expel them little by little from your sight, until you have expanded and may possess the land.

30  Little by little I will destroy them before you, till you become strong and inherit the land.

23:31  And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

31  Then I will set your limits to be from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Palestinians, and from the desert all the way to the river. I will deliver into your hands the inhabitants of the land, and I will cast them out from your sight.

23:32  Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

32  You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor with their gods.

23:33  They shall not dwell in thy land--lest they make thee sin against Me, for thou wilt serve their gods--for they will be a snare unto thee.

33  And they shall not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against me; for if thou shouldest serve their gods, these will be an offence to thee.

33  They may not live on your land, lest perhaps they may cause you to sin against me, if you serve their gods, which certainly would be a temptation for you.”

24:1  And unto Moses He said: 'Come up unto YHWH, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off;

1  And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.

1  He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.

24:2  and Moses alone shall come near unto YHWH; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.'

2  And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”

24:3  And Moses came and told the people all the words of YHWH, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said: 'All the words which YHWH hath spoken will we do.'

3  And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.

3  Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”

24:4  And Moses wrote all the words of YHWH, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

4  Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

24:5  And he sent the young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen unto YHWH.

5  And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt-offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God.

5  And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.

24:6  And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he dashed against the altar.

6  And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.

24:7  And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the hearing of the people; and they said: 'All that YHWH hath spoken will we do, and obey.'

7  And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”

24:8  And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said: 'Behold the blood of the covenant, which YHWH hath made with you in agreement with all these words.'

8  In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”

24:9  Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;

9  And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.

24:10  and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under His feet the like of a paved work of sapphire stone, and the like of the very heaven for clearness.

10  And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity.

24:11  And upon the nobles of the children of Israel He laid not His hand; and they beheld God, and did eat and drink.

11  And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.

11  Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.

24:12  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Come up to Me into the mount and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them.'

12  And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.

12  Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”

24:13  And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister; and Moses went up into the mount of God.

13  Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,

24:14  And unto the elders he said: 'Tarry ye here for us, until we come back unto you; and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whosoever hath a cause, let him come near unto them.'

14  said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”

24:15  And Moses went up into the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.

15  And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.

24:16  And the glory of YHWH 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.

24:17  And the appearance of the glory of YHWH was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

17  And in the sight of all the children of Israel he saw the glory of the LORD like a burning fire on the top of the mountain.

24:18  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.

18  And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.

25:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

25:2  'Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for Me an offering; of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take My offering.

2  Speak to the children of Israel, and take first-fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and ye shall take my first-fruits.

2  “Speak to the sons of Israel, so that they may take the first-fruits to me. You shall accept these from every man who offers of his own accord.

25:3  And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass;

3  Now these are the things that you must accept: Gold, and silver, and brass,

25:4  and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair;

4  hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,

4  Blue, purple, and scarlet, fine linen, and goats' hair,

25:5  and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia-wood;

5  and the skins of rams, dyed red, and skins of violet, and setim wood,

25:6  oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense;

6  and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition of incense,

6  oil to prepare lights, aromatics as ointments and sweet-smelling incense,

25:7  onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

7  and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breast-plate, and the full-length robe.

7  And onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

25:8  And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

8  And thou shalt make me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you.

8  And they shall make a sanctuary for me, and I will live in their midst.

25:9  According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it.

9  And thou shalt make for me according to all things which I shew thee in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shalt thou make it.

9  According to exact likeness of the tabernacle, and all of the vessels for its rituals, that I will reveal to you, so shall you make it.

25:10  And they shall make an ark of acacia-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.

10  Join together an ark of setim wood, whose length shall hold two and one half cubits; the width, one and one half cubits; the height, likewise, one and one half cubits.

25:11  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.

11  And you shall overlay it with the finest gold, inside and out. And over it, you shall fashion a gold crown all around,

25:12  And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

12  and four gold rings, which you shall set into the four corners of the ark. Let two rings be on one side and two on the other.

25:13  And thou shalt make staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.

13  Likewise, you shall make bars of setim wood and cover them with gold.

13  And you shall make poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

25:14  And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, wherewith to bear the ark.

14  And you shall put them through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, so that it may be carried on them.

25:15  The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.

15  These must always be in the rings, neither shall they ever be drawn out of them.

15  The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall never be taken out of them.

25:16  And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

16  And you shall place the testimony, which I will give to you, in the ark.

25:17  And thou shalt make an ark-cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

17  You shall also make a propitiatory of the finest gold. Its length shall hold two and one half cubits, and the width, one and one half cubits.

17  And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad.

18  Likewise, you shall make two Cherubim of formed gold, on both sides of the oracle.

18  And you shall make two cherubim of gold, of cast work shall you make them, on the two sides of the mercy seat.

25:19  And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the ark-cover shall ye make the cherubim of the two ends thereof.

19  They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory; and thou shalt make the two cherubs on the two sides.

19  Let one Cherub be on the one side, and the other be on the other.

25:20  And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, screening the ark-cover with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the ark-cover shall the faces of the cherubim be.

20  The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be toward each other, the faces of the cherubs shall be toward the propitiatory.

20  And let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings and covering the oracle, and let them look out toward one another, their faces being turned toward the propitiatory, with which the ark is to be covered,

25:21  And thou shalt put the ark-cover above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

21  in which you will place the testimony that I will give to you.

21  And you shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.

25:22  And there I will meet with thee, and I will speak with thee from above the ark-cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

22  And I will make myself known to thee from thence, and I will speak to thee above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge thee concerning the children of Israel.

22  From there, I will warn you and speak to you, above the propitiatory and from the middle of the two Cherubim, which will be over the ark of the testimony, about everything that I will command of the sons of Israel through you.

25:23  And thou shalt make a table of acacia-wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

23  And thou shalt make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half.

23  You shall also make a table of setim wood, having two cubits of length, and one cubit in width, and one cubit and one half cubits in height.

25:24  And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.

24  And thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and thou shalt make for it a crown of an hand-breadth round about.

24  And you shall overlay it with the purest gold. And you shall make it with a gold lip all around,

25:25  And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.

25  and for the lip itself an engraved crown, four fingers high, and above it another little gold crown.

25:26  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.

26  Likewise, you shall prepare four gold rings and set them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.

25:27  Close by the border shall the rings be, for places for the staves to bear the table.

27  And the rings shall be for bearings for the staves, that they may bear the table with them.

27  Under the crown, there shall be gold rings, so that the bars may be put through them and the table may be carried.

25:28  And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

28  Likewise, the bars themselves you shall make of setim wood, and surround them with gold, to lift up the table.

28  You shall make the poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

25:30  And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before Me alway.

30  And you shall place upon the table the bread of the presence, in my sight always.

25:31  And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.

31  You shall also make a lampstand, formed from the finest gold, along with its stem and arms, its bowl and little spheres, as well as the lilies proceeding from it.

31  And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold; of cast work shall the candlestick be made; its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its buds, and its flowers shall be of one piece.

25:32  And there shall be six branches going out of the sides thereof: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candle-stick out of the other side thereof;

32  And six branches proceeding sideways, three branches of the candlestick from one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side.

32  Six branches shall go out from the sides: three out of one side and three out of the other.

25:33  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 candlestick.

33  And three bowls fashioned like almonds, on each branch a knop and a lily; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick,

33  Three bowls, the size of nuts, shall be on each branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. And three similar bowls, in the likeness of nuts, shall be on the other branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. This shall be the form of the six branches, which are to proceed from the stem.

25:34  And in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof.

34  Then, in the lampstand itself, there shall be four bowls, the size of nuts, and each with little spheres and lilies.

34  And on the candlestick shall be four bowls made like almonds, with their buds and flowers.

25:35  And a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick.

35  Little spheres under two branches in three places, which together make six, shall proceed from one of the stems.

25:36  Their knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.

36  Thus both the little spheres and the branches shall be made out of the same thing: entirely formed from the purest gold.

25:37  And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven; and they shall light the lamps thereof, to give light over against it.

37  You shall also make seven lamps, and you shall place them upon the lampstand, so that they may give light in every direction.

25:40  And see that thou make them after their pattern, which is being shown thee in the mount.

40  See, thou shalt make them according to the pattern shewed thee in the mount.

40  Observe, and then make it according to the example that was shown to you on the mountain.”

26:1  Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains: of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skilful workman shalt thou make them.

1  And thou shalt make the tabernacle, ten curtains of fine linen spun, and blue and purple, and scarlet spun with cherubs; thou shalt make them with work of a weaver.

1  “Truly, thus shall you make the tabernacle: You shall make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth as well as purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse embroidery.

26:2  The length of each curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have one measure.

2  The length of one curtain shall have twenty-eight cubits. The width shall be four cubits. The entire set of curtains shall be of one measure.

26:3  Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

3  And the five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five curtains shall be closely connected the one with the other.

26:4  And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the first set; and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second set.

4  You shall make loops of hyacinth on the sides at the edges of the curtains, so that they will be able to be joined to one another.

4  And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shall you make loops on the edge of the other curtain from the selvedge in the coupling of the second.

26:5  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 second set; the loops shall be opposite one to another.

5  A curtain shall have fifty loops on each of two sides, inserted in such a manner that loop may come against loop, and one can be fitted to the other.

26:6  And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one whole.

6  You shall also make fifty rings of gold, with which the veils of the curtains are to be joined, so that it shall be one tabernacle.

6  And you shall make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches; and it shall be one tabernacle.

26:7  And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shalt thou make them.

7  You shall also make eleven haircloth canopies to cover the roof of the tabernacle.

26:8  The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

8  The length of one skin thirty cubits, and the breadth of one skin four cubits: there shall be the same measure to the eleven skins.

8  The length of one canopy shall hold thirty cubits, and the width, four. The measure of all the canopies shall be equal.

26:9  And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

9  Five of these you shall join by themselves, and six of these you shall couple to one another, in such a manner as to double the sixth canopy at the front of the roof.

26:10  And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the first set, and fifty loops upon the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second set.

10  You shall also make fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, so that it may be able to be joined with the other, and fifty loops along the edge of the other canopy, so that it may be coupled with the other.

10  And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which couples the second.

26:11  And thou shalt make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

11  You shall also make fifty brass buckles, with which the loops may be joined, so that there may be one covering out of all.

26:12  And as for the overhanging part that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth over shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

12  And thou shalt fix at the end that which is over in the skins of the tabernacle; the half of the skin that is left shalt thou fold over, according to the overplus of the skins of the tabernacle; thou shalt fold it over behind the tabernacle.

12  Then what will be left over of the canopies which are prepared for the roof, that is, one canopy which is in excess, from half of it you shall cover the back of the tabernacle.

26:13  And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remaineth over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

13  A cubit an this side, and a cubit on that side of that which remains of the skins, of the length of the skins of the tabernacle: it shall be folding over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and that side, that it may cover it.

13  And one cubit will hang down on one side, and another on the other side, which is more than the length of the curtains, protecting both sides of the tabernacle.

26:14  And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and a covering of sealskins above.

14  You shall also make another covering for the roof from the skins of rams, dyed-red, and above that again, another covering of violet-colored skins.

26:15  And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up.

15  You shall also make the standing panels of the tabernacle from setim wood.

26:16  Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.

16  Of ten cubits shalt thou make one post, and the breadth of one post of a cubit and a half.

16  Of these, each shall have ten cubits in length, and in width, one and one half.

26:17  Two tenons shall there be in each board, joined one to another; thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

17  Two joints shalt thou make in one post, answering the one to the other: so shalt thou do to all the posts of the tabernacle.

17  At the sides of the panels, there shall be made two dovetails, by which one panel may be connected to another panel; and in this way all the panels shall be prepared.

26:18  And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward

18  Of these, twenty shall be at the meridian, which lies toward the south.

18  And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side.

26:19  And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons;

19  And thou shalt make to the twenty posts forty silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.

19  For these, you shall cast forty bases of silver, so that two bases will lie under each panel at its two corners.

26:20  and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards.

20  And for the next side, toward the south, twenty posts,

20  Likewise, at the second side of the tabernacle, which lies to the north, there shall be twenty panels,

26:21  And their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

21  and their forty silver sockets: two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.

21  having forty bases of silver; two bases shall support each panel.

26:22  And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.

22  And on the back of the tabernacle at the part which is toward the west thou shalt make six posts.

22  Truly, toward the western part of the tabernacle, you shall make six panels,

26:23  And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part.

23  and again another two, which will be raised at the corners, behind the back of the tabernacle.

26:24  And they shall be double beneath, and in like manner they shall be complete unto the top thereof unto the first ring; thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

24  And it shall be equal below, they shall be equal toward the same part from the heads to one joining; so shalt thou make to both the two corners, let them be equal.

24  And these shall be joined together from bottom to top, and one joint shall retain them all. Likewise, two of the panels, which will be set at the corners, shall be served by similar joints.

26:25  Thus there shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

25  And there shall be eight posts, and their sixteen silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post.

25  And together these will be eight panels, and their bases of silver, sixteen, counting two bases for each panel.

26:26  And thou shalt make bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

26  You shall also make five bars of setim wood, to connect the panels on one side of the tabernacle,

26:27  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 hinder part westward;

27  and five others on the other side, and the same number toward the western part.

26:28  and the middle bar in the midst of the boards, which shall pass through from end to end.

28  And let the bar in the middle between the posts go through from the one side to the other side.

28  These shall be set along the middle of the panels, from one end all the way to the other end.

26:29  And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for holders for the bars; and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.

29  And thou shalt gild the posts with gold; and thou shalt make golden rings, into which thou shalt introduce the bars, and thou shalt gild the bars with gold.

29  Likewise, the panels themselves you shall overlay with gold, and you shall establish rings of gold in them, by which the bars of the panels may be connected. These you shall cover with layers of gold.

26:30  And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which hath been shown thee in the mount.

30  And you shall raise the tabernacle according to the example which was shown to you on the mountain.

30  And you shall erect the tabernacle according to the right pattern thereof which I have shown you on the mountain.

26:31  And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; with cherubim the work of the skilful workman shall it be made.

31  You shall also make a veil of hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with a diversity of continuous and beautiful embroidery.

26:32  And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks being of gold, upon four sockets of silver.

32  And you shall suspend it before four columns of setim wood, which themselves certainly shall be overlaid with gold, and have heads of gold, but bases of silver.

26:33  And thou shalt hang up the veil under the clasps, and shalt bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.

33  Then the veil shall be inserted through the rings. Beyond the veil, you shall place the ark of the testimony, where both the Sanctuary and the Sanctuary of Sanctuaries shall be divided.

26:34  And thou shalt put the ark-cover upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

34  And you shall place the propitiatory over the ark of the testimony, in the Holy of Holies.

26:35  And thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and thou shalt put the table on the north side.

35  And the table shall be outside the veil. And opposite the table shall be the lampstand, in the meridian of the tabernacle. For the table shall stand at the north side.

35  And thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side. And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it. A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about. And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it ; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal. And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, where I shall appoint my name. And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon. And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.

26:36  And thou shalt make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the weaver in colours.

36  You shall also make a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery.

26:37  And thou shalt make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold; and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.

27:2  And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof; the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it; and thou shalt overlay it with brass.

2  Now there shall be horns at the four corners of it, and you shall cover it with brass.

2  And you shall make the horns of it on the four corners thereof; its horns shall be of the same; and you shall overlay it with brass.

4  along with a grating of brass in the manner of a net. At its four corners there shall be four rings of brass,

4  You shall make for it a grating of network of brass; and upon the grating you shall make four rings of brass at its four corners.

27:5  And thou shalt put it under the ledge round the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar.

5  which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of the altar.

5  And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar, that the grate may reach to the midst of the altar.

6  You shall also make, for the altar, two bars of setim wood, which you shall cover with layers of brass.

6  And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.

27:7  And the staves thereof shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, in bearing it.

7  And thou shalt put the staves into the rings; and let the staves be on the sides of the altar to carry it.

7  And you shall lead them through the rings, and they will be on both sides of the altar to carry it.

27:8  Hollow with planks shalt thou make it; as it hath been shown thee in the mount, so shall they make it.

8  You shall not make it solid, but empty and hollow at the interior, just as it was shown to you on the mountain.

27:9  And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side.

21  in the tabernacle of the testimony, without the veil that is before the ark of the covenant, shall Aaron and his sons burn it from evening until morning, before the Lord: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations of the children of Israel.

28:1  And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

1  And do thou take to thyself both Aaron thy brother, and his sons, even them of the children of Israel; so that Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron, may minister to me.

11  By the work of a sculptor and the skill of a jeweler, you shall engrave them with the names of the sons of Israel, enclosed and encompassed with gold.

28:12  And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before YHWH upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

28:16  Four-square it shall be and double: a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.

16  It shall have four corners and be doubled. It shall have the measure of the palm of a hand, both in length and in width.

16  It shall be foursquare being doubled; a span is its length and a span its width.

28:17  And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of carnelian, topaz, and smaragd shall be the first row;

17  And thou shalt interweave with it a texture of four rows of stone; there shall be a row of stones, a sardius, a topaz, and emerald, the first row.

17  And you shall set within it four rows of stones. In the first row, there shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald.

28:18  and the second row a carbuncle, a sapphire, and an emerald;

18  In the second, there shall be a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper.

20  In the fourth, there shall be a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.

28:21  And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

21  And let the stones of the names of the children of Israel be twelve according to their names, engravings as of seals: let them be for the twelve tribes each according to the name.

21  And these shall have the names of the sons of Israel. With twelve names shall they be engraved: each stone with one name from the twelve tribes.

28:22  And thou shalt make upon the breastplate plaited chains of wreathen work of pure gold.

22  You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,

22  land you shall make upon the breastplate twin chains, braided work of pure gold.

28:23  And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

23  and two rings of gold, which you shall place at both ends of the breastplate.

28:24  And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

24  And the golden chains, you shall join to the rings, which are at its edges.

28:25  And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof.

25  And the ends of the chains themselves, you shall couple with two hooks, on both sides of the ephod, which looks toward the breastplate.

28:26  And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

26  You shall also make two rings of gold, which you shall place at the ends of the breastplate, at the borders which are away from the region of the ephod and which look toward its back.

26  And you shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate on the border thereof which is in the side of the ephod from within.

28:27  And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.

28:28  And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue, that it may be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

28  And it shall be drawn tight to the rings of the breastplate, by the rings of the ephod, with a hyacinth band, so that the well-constructed juncture will remain in place, and the breastplate and the ephod will not be able to be separated from one another.

28:29  And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before YHWH continually.

28:30  And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before YHWH; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the YHWH continually.

30  And thou shalt put the fringes on the oracle of judgement; thou shalt put the wreaths on both sides of the oracle, and thou shalt put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in front. And thou shalt put the Manifestation and the Truth on the oracle of judgement; and it shall be on the breast of Aaron, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgements of the children of Israel on his breast before the Lord continually. And thou shalt make the full-length tunic all of blue.

30  Then you shall place in the breastplate of judgment, Doctrine and Truth, which shall then be upon Aaron’s chest, when he enters before the Lord. And he shall wear the judgment of the sons of Israel on his chest, in the sight of the Lord always.

28:31  And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

31  And you shall make the tunic for the ephod entirely of hyacinth,

28:32  And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof; it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail that it be not rent.

32  And the opening of it shall be in the middle having a fringe round about the opening, the work of the weaver, woven together in the joining of the same piece that it might not be rent.

32  and the head will be above its middle, with a hem woven around it, just as is usually made at the end parts of a garment, so that it may not be easily broken.

28:33  And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about

33  And under the fringe of the robe below thou shalt make as it were pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these.

33  Yet truly, beneath it, at the base of the same tunic, all around, you shall make something like pomegranates, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with little bells set in their midst.

28:34  a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.

34  A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about.

34  So then, there shall be a little golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.

28:35  And it shall be upon Aaron to minister; and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before YHWH, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

35  And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into the sanctuary before the Lord, and as he goes out, that he die not.

35  And Aaron will be vested with it during the office of his ministry, so that the sound may be heard when he enters and exits the Sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and so that he may not die.

28:36  And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO YHWH.

36  And you shall make a plate of the purest gold, in which you shall engrave, with the skill of a sculptor, ‘Holy to the Lord.’

28:37  And thou shalt put it on a thread of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

37  And you shall fasten it with a band of hyacinth, and it shall be upon the headdress,

28:38  And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity committed in the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow, even in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before YHWH.

38  And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away the sins of their holy things, all that the children of Israel shall sanctify of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the forehead of Aaron continually acceptable for them before the Lord.

38  hanging in front of the high priest. And Aaron shall carry the iniquities of that which the sons of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and donations. But the plate will always be at his forehead, so that the Lord may be well pleased with them.

28:39  And thou shalt weave the tunic in chequer work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the weaver in colours.

39  And you shall draw the tunic tight with fine linen, and you shall make a headdress of fine linen, and a wide belt, wrought with embroidery.

28:40  And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make tunics, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for splendour and for beauty.

40  And for the sons of Aaron thou shalt make tunics and girdles, and thou shalt make for them tires for honour and glory.

40  Furthermore, for the sons of Aaron, you shall prepare linen tunics, and wide belts as well as headdresses, with glory and elegance.

28:41  And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon 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.

41  And with all these you shall vest your brother Aaron, and his sons with him. And you shall consecrate all their hands, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.

28:42  And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach.

42  You shall also make linen undergarments, in order to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the kidneys all the way to the thighs.

42  And you shall make them breeches of fine linen to cover their nakedness; from their loins to their thighs they shall reach;

28:43  And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, 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 unto his seed after him.

43  And Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves, lest they die: it is a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed after him.

43  And Aaron and his sons will use them when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach toward the altar, in order to minister in the sanctuary, lest, being guilty of iniquity, they may die. It shall be a law forever for Aaron, and for his offspring after him.”

29:1  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,

1  And these are the things which thou shalt do to them: thou shalt sanctify them, so that they shall serve me in the priesthood; and thou shalt take one young calf from the herd, and two unblemished rams;

1  “But you shall also do this, so that they may be consecrated to me in the priesthood: Take a calf from the herd, and two immaculate rams,

29:2  and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened mingled with oil, and wafers unleavened spread with oil; of fine wheaten flour shalt thou make them.

2  and unleavened bread, and a crust without leaven that has been sprinkled with oil, likewise, unleavened cakes smeared with oil. You shall make them all from the same wheat flour.

29:3  And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.

3  And, having placed them in baskets, you shall offer them, along with the calf and the two rams.

29:4  And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water.

4  And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when you will have washed the father with his sons in water,

29:5  And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the tunic, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod.

5  you shall clothe Aaron in his vestments, that is, with the linen, and the tunic, and the ephod, and the breastplate, which you shall draw together with the wide belt.

29:6  And thou shalt set the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

6  And you shall place the headdress on his head and the holy plate upon the headdress.

29:7  Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.

7  And thou shalt take of the anointing oil, and thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt anoint him,

7  And you shall pour the oil of unction over his head. And so, by this rite, he shall be consecrated.

29:8  And thou shalt bring his sons, and put tunics upon them.

8  Likewise, you shall bring forward his sons, and you shall clothe them in the linen tunics, and wrap them with the wide belt

8  And you shall bring his sons and put coats upon them.

29:9  And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind head-tires on them; and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute; and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.

9  Aaron, certainly, as well as his sons. And you shall impose headdresses upon them. And they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After you have initiated their hands,

9  And you shall 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 thus you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

29:10  And thou shalt bring the bullock before the tent of meeting; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock.

10  And thou shalt bring the calf to the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the calf, before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.

10  you shall bring forward also the calf, in the presence of the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon its head.

29:11  And thou shalt kill the bullock before YHWH, at the door of the tent of meeting.

11  And you shall sacrifice it in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

29:12  And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger; and thou shalt pour out all the remaining blood at the base of the altar.

12  And taking some of the blood of the calf, you shall place it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, but the remainder of the blood you shall pour next to its base.

29:13  And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the lobe above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and make them smoke upon the altar.

13  And you shall take all the fat which covers its intestines, and the mesh of the liver, as well as the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and you shall offer them as a burnt offering upon the altar.

29:14  But the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and its dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp; it is a sin-offering.

14  Yet truly, the flesh of the calf, and the hide and the dung, you shall burn outside, beyond the camp, because it is for sin.

29:15  Thou shalt also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.

15  Likewise, you shall take one ram, and upon its head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

29:16  And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take its blood, and dash it round about against the altar.

16  And when you will have sacrificed it, you shall take from its blood and pour it around the altar.

16  And you shall slaughter the ram; and you must take some of its blood and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.

29:17  And thou shalt cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.

17  And thou shalt divide the ram by his several limbs, and thou shalt wash the inward parts and the feet with water, and thou shalt put them on the divided parts with the head.

17  Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and, having washed its intestines and feet, you shall place these upon the cut-up flesh and upon its head.

29:18  And thou shalt make the whole ram smoke upon the altar; it is a burnt-offering unto YHWH; it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the YHWH.

18  And thou shalt offer the whole ram on the altar, a whole burnt-offering to the Lord for a sweet-smelling savour: it is an offering of incense to the Lord.

18  And you shall offer the entire ram as a burnt offering upon the altar. It is an oblation to the Lord, a most sweet odor of the victim of the Lord.

29:19  And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.

19  Likewise, you shall take the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

29:20  Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of its 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 dash the blood against the altar round about.

20  And thou shalt kill it, and take of the blood of it, and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of their right feet.

20  And when you will have immolated it, you shall take of its blood, and place it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs and big toes of their right hand and right foot, and you shall pour the blood upon the altar, all around.

29:21  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 and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

21  And when you have taken from the blood that is on the altar, and from the oil of unction, you shall sprinkle Aaron and his vestment, his sons and their vestments. And after they and their vestments have been consecrated,

21  And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and upon his vestments and upon his sons and upon the vestments of his sons with him; and he shall be consecrated and his vestments and his sons and his sons' vestments with him.

29:22  Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh; for it is a ram of consecration;

22  And thou shalt take from the ram its fat, both the fat that covers the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, for this is a consecration.

22  you shall take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the lard that covers the internal organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys along with the fat that is on them, and the right shoulder, because it is the ram of consecration,

29:23  and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before YHWH.

23  And you shall take one loaf of bread and one loaf of bread baked with oil and a cake baked with flour and oil out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD;

29:24  And thou shalt put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave- offering before YHWH.

24  And you shall place all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord.

24  And you shall put all of these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons; and you shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

29:25  And thou shalt take them from their hands, and make them smoke on the altar upon the burnt-offering, for a sweet savour before YHWH; it is an offering made by fire unto the YHWH.

25  And you shall take all these things from their hands and burn them upon the altar as a holocaust, as a most sweet odor in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation.

25  And you shall receive them from their hands, and burn the breast of the ram upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD; it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.

29:26  And thou shalt take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave-offering before YHWH; and it shall be thy portion.

26  Likewise, you shall take the chest of the ram, with which Aaron was initiated, and you shall sanctify it, lifting it up in the sight of the Lord, and it will fall to your share.

29:27  And thou shalt 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 Aaron's, and of that which is his sons'.

27  And you shall sanctify both the consecrated chest and the shoulder that you separated from the ram,

29:28  And it shall be for Aaron and his sons as a due for ever from the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering; and it shall be a heave-offering from the children of Israel of their sacrifices of peace-offerings, even their heave-offering unto YHWH.

28  with which Aaron was initiated with his sons, and these will fall to the share of Aaron and his sons, as a perpetual oath by the sons of Israel. For these are the greatest and the first of their victims of peace, which they offer to the Lord.

28  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 take from the anointing oil and from blood that is over the altar, and you smear it over Aaron and over garments of him and over sons of him and over garments of sons of him. And you will purify the him, the garments of him, and the sons of him and the garments of his sons.

29:29  And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

29  And the apparel of the sanctuary which is Aaron’s shall be his son’s after him, for them to be anointed in them, and to fill their hands.

29  But the holy vestment, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall possess after him, so that they may be anointed in it and their hands may be consecrated.

29:30  Seven days shall the son that is priest in his stead put them on, even he who cometh into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place.

30  The priest his successor from among his sons who shall go into the tabernacle of witness to minister in the holies, shall put them on seven days.

30  And one of his sons who is to become priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he enters into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.

29:31  And thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and seethe its flesh in a holy place.

31  But you shall take the ram of consecration and cook its flesh in the holy place.

31  And you shall take the ram of the consecration and cook its meat in the holy place.

29:32  And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting.

29:33  And they shall eat those things wherewith atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

33  They shall eat the offerings with which they were sanctified to fill their hands, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat of them, for they are holy.

33  so that it may be an appeasing sacrifice, and so that the hands of those who offer may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat from these, for they are holy.

29:34  And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, 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.

34  And what may remain until morning, of the consecrated flesh or of the bread, you shall burn these remnants with fire. These shall not be eaten, because they have been sanctified.

29:35  And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee; seven days shalt thou consecrate them.

35  All that I have instructed you concerning Aaron and his sons, you shall do. For seven days shall you consecrate their hands,

35  And thus shall you do to Aaron and to his sons, just as I have commanded you; seven days shall you consecrate them.

29:36  And every day shalt thou offer the bullock of sin-offering, beside the other offerings of atonement; and thou shalt do the purification upon the altar when thou makest atonement for it; and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

36  and you shall offer a calf for sin on each day, as an atonement. And you shall cleanse the altar when you will have immolated the victim of expiation, and you shall anoint it for sanctification.

29:37  Seven days thou shalt make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; thus shall the altar be most holy; whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

37  For seven days, you shall expiate and sanctify the altar, and it shall be the Holy of holies. All those who will touch it must be sanctified.

29:38  Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

38  And these are the offerings which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two unblemished lambs of a year old daily on the altar continually, a constant offering.

38  This is what you shall acquire for the altar: Two one-year-old lambs, each day continually,

29:39  The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at dusk.

39  One lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, and the second lamb thou shalt offer in the evening.

39  one lamb in the morning, and the other in the evening;

29:40  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.

40  for the one lamb, a tenth part of fine flour sprinkled with crushed oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin, and wine for a libation, of the same measure;

29:41  And the other lamb thou shalt offer at dusk, and shalt do thereto according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto YHWH.

41  And thou shalt offer the second lamb in the evening, after the manner of the morning-offering, and according to the drink-offering of the morning lamb; thou shalt offer it an offering to the Lord for a sweet-smelling savour,

41  truly, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, according to the ritual of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said, as an odor of sweetness.

29:42  It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before YHWH, where I will meet with you, to speak there unto thee.

42  It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by a perpetual oblation among your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I resolve to speak to you.

29:43  And there I will meet with the children of Israel; and the Tent shall be sanctified by My glory.

43  And I will there give orders to the children of Israel, and I will be sanctified in my glory.

29:44  And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar; Aaron also and his sons will I sanctify, to minister to Me in the priest's office.

44  I will also sanctify the tabernacle of the testimony with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to exercise the priesthood for me.

29:45  And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

45  And I will live in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will be their God.

29:46  And they shall know that I am YHWH their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the YHWH their God.

30:1  And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; of acacia-wood shalt thou make it.

1  “You shall also make an altar, for the burning of incense, from setim wood,

1  YOU shall make an altar to burn incense upon; of shittim wood shall you make it.

30:2  A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof; the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it.

2  And thou shalt make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth: it shall be square; and the height of it shall be of two cubits, its horns shall be of the same piece.

2  having one cubit in length, and another in width, that is, four equal sides, and two cubits in height. Horns shall proceed from the same.

30:3  And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.

3  And thou shalt gild its grate with pure gold, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make for it a wreathen border of gold round-about.

3  And you shall clothe it with the purest gold, both its grating and the walls around it, and also the horns. And you shall make for it a crown of gold in a circle,

30:4  And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof, upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it.

4  and two gold rings under the crown on each side, so that the bars may be set in them and the altar may be carried.

30:5  And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.

5  Also, you shall make its bars of setim wood, and you shall overlay them with gold.

5  And you shall make the poles of shittim wood and overlay them with gold.

30:6  And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the ark-cover that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

6  And thou shalt set it before the veil that is over the ark of the testimonies, wherein I will make myself known to thee from thence.

6  And you shall set the altar opposite the veil, which hangs in front of the ark of the testimony, before the propitiatory with which the testimony is covered, where I will speak to you.

30:7  And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices; every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it.

30:8  And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at dusk, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before YHWH throughout your generations.

8  And when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a constant incense-offering always before the Lord for their generations.

8  And when he assembles them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.

30:9  Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon.

9  And thou shalt not offer strange incense upon it, nor and offering made by fire, nor a sacrifice; and thou shalt not pour a drink-offering upon it.

9  You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition, nor an oblation, nor a victim; neither shall you offer libations.

30:10  And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations; it is most holy unto YHWH.'

10  And once in the year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns, he shall purge it with the blood of purification for their generations: it is most holy to the Lord.

10  And Aaron shall pray over its horns once a year, with the blood of what was offered for sin. And he shall make atonement over it in your generations. It shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.”

30:11  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

11  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

30:12  'When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto YHWH, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.

12  If thou take account of the children of Israel in the surveying of them, and they shall give every one a ransom for his soul to the Lord, then there shall not be among them a destruction in the visiting of them.

12  “When you have taken the sum of the sons of Israel, according to their number, each shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there will be no scourge among them, when they will be reviewed.

30:13  This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary--the shekel is twenty gerahs--half a shekel for an offering to YHWH.

13  And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a didrachm which is according to the didrachm of the sanctuary: twenty oboli go to the didrachm, but the half of the didrachm is the offering to the Lord.

30:14  Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of YHWH.

14  He who has been numbered from twenty years and above shall give the price.

14  Every one among them who is included in the number from twenty years old and upward shall give an offering to the LORD.

30:15  The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of YHWH, to make atonement for your souls.

15  The rich shall not add to the half shekel, and the poor shall diminish nothing.

30:16  And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before YHWH, to make atonement for your souls.'

16  And the money received, which was collected from the sons of Israel, you shall deliver for the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may act favorably toward their souls.”

16  And you shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall give it for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

30:17  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

17  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

30:18  'Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash; and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.

18  “You shall also make a bronze washtub with its base to wash in; and you shall place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And when water has been added,

30:19  And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat;

19  Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it

30:20  when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to cause an offering made by fire to smoke unto YHWH;

20  Whensoever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness, they shall wash themselves with water, so they shall not die, whensoever they advance to the altar to do service and to offer the whole burnt-offerings to the Lord.

20  when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach to the altar so as to offer incense to the Lord upon it,

30:21  so they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not; and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.'

21  They shall wash their hands and feet with water, whensoever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness; they shall wash themselves with water, that they die not; and it shall be for them a perpetual statute, for him and his posterity after him.

21  otherwise, they may die. This shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his offspring, throughout their successions.”

30:22  Moreover YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

22  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

30:23  'Take thou also unto thee the chief spices, of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,

23  Do thou also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling calamus,

23  saying: “Take for yourself aromatics: of the first and best myrrh, five hundred shekels, and of cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels; of sweet flag similarly two hundred and fifty,

30:24  and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.

24  but of cassia, five hundred shekels by the weight of the sanctuary, and of the oil of olives the measure of a hin.

30:25  And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.

25  And you shall make the holy oil of unction, an ointment composed with the skills of a perfumer,

30:26  And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,

26  And you shall anoint the tabernacle of the congregation with it, and the ark of the testimony,

30:27  and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,

27  and all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and the altar of incense,

27  The table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and all his vessels, and the altar of incense

30:28  and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof.

28  and the altar of whole burnt-offerings and all its furniture, and the table and all its furniture, and the laver.

28  and of holocaust, and all the items that pertain to their rituals.

30:29  And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy; whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

29  And you shall sanctify everything, and they shall be the Holy of holies. He who will touch them must be sanctified.

30:30  And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office.

30  You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.

30:31  And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying: This shall be a holy anointing oil unto Me throughout your generations.

31  Likewise, you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘This oil of unction will be holy to me throughout your generations.

30:32  Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.

32  On man’s flesh it shall not be poured, and ye shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition: it is holy, and shall be holiness to you.

32  The flesh of man shall not be anointed from it, and you shall not make any similar compound, for it has been sanctified and it shall be holy to you.

30:33  Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'

33  Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whosoever shall give of it to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among his people.

33  Whatever man will have composed such a thing and have given it to a stranger, he shall be exterminated from his people.’ ”

30:34  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense; of each shall there be a like weight.

34  And the Lord said to Moses, Take for thyself sweet herbs, stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense; there shall be and equal weight of each.

34  And the LORD said unto Moses to say, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight

30:35  And thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.

35  And you shall make incense composed with the skills of a perfumer, diligently mixed, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.

30:36  And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee; it shall be unto you most holy.

36  And when you have crushed all these into a very fine powder, you shall place some of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to you. The Holy of holies shall this incense be to you.

30:37  And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves; it shall be unto thee holy for YHWH.

37  You shall not make such a compound for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.

30:38  Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people.'

38  Whatever man will have made anything similar, so as to thoroughly enjoy its smell, he shall perish from his people.”

31:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

31:2  'See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

2  Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda.

31:3  and I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

31:4  to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

4  and to frame works, to labour in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,

4  in order to design whatever must be fabricated from gold, and silver, and brass,

31:5  and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

5  and works in stone, and for artificers’ work in wood, to work at all works.

5  from marble, and precious stones, and various woods.

31:6  And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee

6  And I have appointed him and Eliab the son of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed thee, —

6  And I have given to him, as his associate, Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. And I have placed wisdom in the heart of every artisan, so that they may make everything as I have instructed you

31:7  the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the ark-cover that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent;

7  the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,

31:8  and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense;

8  and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,

31:9  and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base;

9  and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,

9  and of holocaust and all their vessels, the washtub with its base,

31:10  and the plaited garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office;

10  and Aaron’s robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests,

31:11  and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.'

11  the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics in the Sanctuary. All the things that I have instructed you, they shall make.”

11  The anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place : according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

31:12  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

12  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

31:13  'Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying: Verily ye shall keep My sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am YHWH who sanctify you.

31:14  Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore, for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

14  Keep my Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever will have polluted it, shall die a death. Whoever will have done any work in it, his soul shall perish from the midst of his people.

31:15  Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to YHWH; whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

15  For six days you shall do work. On the seventh day, it is the Sabbath, a rest sanctified by the Lord. All who will have done work on this day shall die.

31:16  Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

16  And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.

16  Let the sons of Israel keep the Sabbath, and let them celebrate it throughout their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

31:17  It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and rested.'

17  It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested.

17  between me and the sons of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.”

31:18  And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

18  And the Lord, having completed speaking in this way on Mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tablets of testimony, written with the finger of God.

32:1  And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him: 'Up, make us a god who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.'

1  Then the people, seeing that Moses made a delay in descending from the mountain, gathered together against Aaron, and said: “Rise up, make us gods, who may go before us. But as for this man Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.”

32:2  And Aaron said unto them: 'Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.'

2  And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me.

32:3  And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

3  And the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings to Aaron.

32:4  And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said: 'This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'

4  And when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: “These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.”

4  And he received them, and drew a design, and made it a molten calf; and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

32:5  And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said: 'To-morrow shall be a feast to YHWH.'

5  And when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, “Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.”

5  And Aaron was afraid, and he built an altar before it; then Aaron made a proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD.

32:6  And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to make merry.

6  And rising up in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.

32:7  And YHWH spoke unto Moses: 'Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have dealt corruptly;

7  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for thy people whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt have transgressed;

7  Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go, descend. Your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, have sinned.

32:8  they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said: This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'

8  they have quickly gone out of the way which thou commandedst; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said,

8  They have quickly withdrawn from the way which you revealed to them. And they have made for themselves a molten calf, and they have worshiped it. And immolating victims to it, they have said: ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.’ ”

32:9  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.

9  These are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

9  And again, the Lord said to Moses: “I discern that this people is stiff-necked.

32:10  Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.'

10  And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make thee a great nation.

10  Release me, so that my fury may be enraged against them, and I may destroy them, and then I will make of you a great nation.”

32:11  And Moses besought YHWH his God, and said: 'YHWH, why doth Thy wrath wax hot against Thy people, that Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

11  Then Moses prayed to the Lord his God, saying: “Why, O Lord, is your fury enraged against your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with a mighty hand?

11  But Moses prayed before the LORD his God and said, Not so, O LORD, let not thy wrath kindle against thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand.

32:12  Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying: For evil did He bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from Thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against Thy people.

12  I beg you, let not the Egyptians say, ‘He cleverly led them away, so that he could put them to death in the mountains and destroy them from the earth.’ Let your anger be quieted and appeased concerning the wickedness of your people.

32:13  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou didst swear by Thine own self, and saidst unto them: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.'

13  remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob thy servants, to whom thou hast sworn by thyself, and hast spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which thou spokest of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever.

32:14  And YHWH repented of the evil which He said He would do unto His people.

14  And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.

14  And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.

32:15  And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

15  And Moses returned from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,

32:16  And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

16  and accomplished by the work of God. Also, the writing of God was engraved on the tablets.

32:17  And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses: 'There is a noise of war in the camp.'

17  And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

17  Then Joshua, hearing the tumult of the people shouting, said to Moses: “The outcry of battle is heard in the camp.”

32:18  And he said: 'It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome, but the noise of them that sing do I hear.'

18  But he responded: “It is not the clamor of men being exhorted to battle, nor the shout of men being compelled to flee. But I hear the voice of singing.”

18  Moses said to him, It is not the sound of the cry of mighty men, neither is it the sound of the cry of weak men; but it is the sound of sin that I hear.

32:19  And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.

19  And when he drew nigh to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain.

19  And when he had approached to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances. And being very angry, he threw down the tablets from his hand, and he broke them at the base of the mountain.

32:20  And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

20  And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it.

32:21  And Moses said unto Aaron: 'What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them?'

21  And he said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, so that you would bring upon them the greatest sin?”

32:22  And Aaron said: 'Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil.

22  And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, my lord, for thou knowest the impetuosity of this people.

22  And he answered him: “Let not my lord be indignant. For you know this people, that they are prone to evil.

32:23  So they said unto me: Make us a god, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

23  For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.

23  They said to me: ‘Make gods for us, who may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.’

32:24  And I said unto them: Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off; so they gave it me; and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.'

24  And I said to them, ‘Which of you has gold?’ And they took it and gave it to me. And I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”

32:25  And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose--for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies--

25  Therefore, Moses, seeing that the people were naked (for Aaron had stripped them because of the disgrace of their sordidness, and he had set them naked among their enemies),

32:26  then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: 'Whoso is on YHWH'S side, let him come unto me.' And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

26  and standing at the gate of the camp, said: “If anyone is for the Lord, let him join with me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

32:27  And he said unto them: 'Thus saith YHWH, the God of Israel: Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.'

27  And he says to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every one his brother, and every one his neighbour, and every one him that is nearest to him.

27  And Moses said to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel: Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from door to door throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.

32:28  And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

32:29  And Moses said: 'Consecrate yourselves to-day to YHWH, for every man hath been against his son and against his brother; that He may also bestow upon you a blessing this day.'

29  And Moses said to them, Ye have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you.

29  For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

32:30  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people: 'Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up unto YHWH, peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin.'

30  Then, when the next day arrived, Moses spoke to the people: “You have sinned the greatest sin. I will ascend to the Lord. Perhaps, in some way, I might be able to entreat him for your wickedness.”

30  ¶And it came to pass on the next day, Moses said to the people, You have sinned this great sin; and now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps he may forgive your transgressions.

32:31  And Moses returned unto YHWH, and said: 'Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them a god of gold.

31  And returning to the Lord, he said: “I beg you, this people has sinned the greatest sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold. Either release them from this offense,

31  So Moses returned to the LORD and said, I beseech thee, O LORD God, truly this people have sinned a great sin and have made for themselves gods of gold.

32:32  Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.'

32  or, if you do not, then delete me from the book that you have written.”

32:33  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.

33  And the Lord answered him: “Whoever has sinned against me, him I will delete from my book.

32:34  And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, Mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.'

34  But as for you, go and lead this people where I have told you. My angel will go before you. Then, on the day of retribution, I will also visit this sin of theirs.”

34  Therefore now go, lead the people to the place where I tell you; behold, my angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I punish I will visit their sins upon them.

32:35  And YHWH smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

35  And the Lord smote the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.

35  Therefore, the Lord struck the people for the guilt of the calf, which Aaron had made.

33:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses: 'Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying: Unto thy seed will I give it--

1  And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, thou and thy people, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.

33:2  and I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--

33:3  unto a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people; lest I consume thee in the way.'

3  and so that you may enter into a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, since you are a stiff-necked people, lest perhaps I may destroy you on the way.”

3  Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up among you; for you are a stiff-necked people; lest I consume you on the way.

33:4  And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned; and no man did put on him his ornaments.

4  And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.

4  And upon hearing this very bad news, the people mourned; and no one put on his finery according to custom.

33:5  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Say unto the children of Israel: Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee; therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.'

33:6  And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.

6  So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.

6  Therefore, the sons of Israel put aside their ornaments before Mount Horeb.

33:7  Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one that sought YHWH went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp.

7  And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass that every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without the camp.

7  Also, Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it beyond the camp at a distance, and he called its name: ‘Tabernacle of the Covenant.’ And all the people, who had any kind of question, went out to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, beyond the camp.

33:8  And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tent.

8  And whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.

8  And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and each one stood at the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses until he entered the tent.

33:9  And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent; and YHWH spoke with Moses.

9  And when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and God talked to Moses.

33:10  And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door.

10  And all discerned that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the Tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tents.

10  And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

33:11  And YHWH spoke unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he would return into the camp; but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tent.

11  And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.

11  But the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man is used to speaking to his friend. And when he returned to the camp, his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not withdraw from the Tabernacle.

33:12  And Moses said unto YHWH: 'See, Thou sayest unto me: Bring up this people; and Thou hast not let me know whom Thou wilt send with me. Yet Thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in My sight.

12  Then Moses said to the Lord: “You instruct me to lead this people away, and you do not reveal to me whom you will send with me, particularly since you have said: ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor before me.’

33:13  Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, show me now Thy ways, that I may know Thee, to the end that I may find grace in Thy sight; and consider that this nation is Thy people.'

13  If then I have found favour in thy sight, reveal thyself to me, that I may evidently see thee; that I may find favour in thy sight, and that I may know that this great nation is thy people.

13  If, therefore, I have found favor in your sight, show your face to me, so that I may know you and may find grace before your eyes. Look favorably on your people, this nation.”

33:14  And He said: 'My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.'

14  And he says, I myself will go before thee, and give thee rest.

14  And the Lord said, “My face will precede you, and I will give you rest.”

33:15  And he said unto Him: 'If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

15  And Moses said: “If you will not yourself precede us, then do not lead us away from this place.

15  And he said to him, If thou thyself will not go with us, let us not leave this place.

33:16  For wherein now shall it be known that I have found grace in Thy sight, I and Thy people? is it not in that Thou goest with us, so that we are distinguished, I and Thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth?'

16  And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favour with thee, except only if thou go with us? So both I and thy people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.

16  For how will we be able to know, I and your people, that we have found grace in your sight, unless you walk with us, so that we may be glorified out of all the people who live upon the earth?”

33:17  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken, for thou hast found grace in My sight, and I know thee by name.'

17  And the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for thee this thing, which thou hast spoken; for thou hast found grace before me, and I know thee above all.

17  Then the Lord said to Moses: “This word also, which you have spoken, I will do. For you have found grace before me, and I have known you by name.”

33:18  And he said: 'Show me, I pray Thee, Thy glory.'

18  And Moses says, Manifest thyself to me.

33:19  And He said: 'I will make all My goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of YHWH before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.'

19  And God said, I will pass by before thee with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before thee; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.

19  He responded: “I will show you all that is good, and I will call out with the name of the Lord before you. And I will take pity on whomever I will, and I will be lenient to whomever it will please me.”

33:20  And He said: 'Thou canst not see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.'

20  And again he said: “You are not able to see my face. For man shall not see me and live.”

33:21  And YHWH said: 'Behold, there is a place by Me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock.

21  And again, he said: “Behold, there is a place with me, and you shall stand upon the rock.

21  And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, there is a place in front of me, and you shall stand upon the rock;

33:22  And it shall come to pass, while My glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with My hand until I have passed by.

22  and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put thee into a hole of the rock; and I will cover thee over with my hand, until I shall have passed by.

22  And when my glory will cross over, I will set you in a cleft of the rock, and I will protect you with my right hand, until I pass by.

33:23  And I will take away My hand, and thou shalt see My back; but My face shall not be seen.'

34:1  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou didst break.

1  And the Lord said to Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone, as also the first were, and come up to me to the mountain; and I will write upon the tables the words, which were on the first tables, which thou brokest.

1  And after this he said: “Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone similar to the first ones, and I will write upon them the words which were held on the tablets that you broke.

34:2  And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to Me on the top of the mount.

2  Be prepared in the morning, so that you may immediately ascend onto Mount Sinai, and you shall stand with me on the summit of the mountain.

34:3  And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.'

3  And let no one go up with thee, nor be seen in all the mountain; and let not the sheep and oxen feed near that mountain.

3  Let no one ascend with you, and do not let anyone be seen throughout the entire mountain. Likewise, do not let the oxen or the sheep pasture up against it.”

34:4  And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as YHWH had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone.

4  And Moses hewed two tables of stone, as also the first were; and Moses having arisen early, went up to the mount Sina, as the Lord appointed him; and Moses took the two tables of stone.

4  And so he cut out two tablets of stone, like those that were before. And rising up in the night, he ascended onto Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had instructed him, carrying with him the tablets.

34:5  And YHWH descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the YHWH.

5  And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood near him there, and called by the name of the Lord.

5  And when the Lord had descended in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.

34:6  And YHWH passed by before him, and proclaimed: 'YHWH, the YHWH, God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth;

6  And the Lord passed by before his face, and proclaimed, The Lord God, pitiful and merciful, longsuffering and very compassionate, and true,

6  And as he was crossing before him, he said: “The Ruler, the Lord God, merciful and lenient, patient and full of compassion and also truthful,

34:7  keeping mercy unto the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and unto the fourth generation.'

7  who preserves mercy a thousand fold, who takes away iniquity, and wickedness, and also sin; and with you no one, in and of himself, is innocent. You render the iniquity of the fathers to the sons, and also to their descendents to the third and fourth generation.”

34:8  And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

8  And Moses hasted, and bowed to the earth and worshipped;

8  And hurrying, Moses bowed down prostrate to the ground; and worshiping,

34:9  And he said: 'If now I have found grace in Thy sight, O Lord, let YHWH, I pray Thee, go in the midst of us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Thine inheritance.'

9  and said, If I have found grace before thee, let my Lord go with us; for the people is stiff-necked: and thou shalt take away our sins and our iniquities, and we will be thine.

9  he said: “If I have found grace in your sight, O Lord, I beg you to walk with us, (for the people are stiff-necked) and take away our iniquities and our sin, and so possess us.”

34:10  And He said: 'Behold, I make a covenant; before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of YHWH that I am about to do with thee, that it is tremendous.

10  And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I establish a covenant for thee in the presence of all thy people; I will do glorious things, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation; and all the people among whom thou art shall see the works of the Lord, that they are wonderful, which I will do for thee.

10  The Lord responded: “I will enter into a pact in the sight of all. I will perform signs which have never been seen on earth, nor among any nation, so that this people, in whose midst you are, may discern the terrible work of the Lord that I will do.

34:11  Observe thou that which I am commanding thee this day; behold, I am driving out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

11  Do thou take heed to all things whatsoever I command thee: behold, I cast out before your face the Amorite and the Chananite and the Pherezite, and the Chettite, and Evite, and Gergesite and Jebusite

11  Observe the things which I command you this day; behold, I will destroy from before you the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

34:12  Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest they be for a snare in the midst of thee.

12  Beware that you do not ever join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be your ruin.

12  Take heed to yourself lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither you go, lest they become a stumbling block to you.

34:13  But ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim.

13  Ye shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their groves, and the graven images of their gods ye shall burn with fire.

13  But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves.

34:14  For thou shalt bow down to no other god; for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God;

14  For ye shall not worship strange gods, for the Lord God, a jealous name, is a jealous God;

14  Do not be willing to worship any strange god. The jealous Lord is his name. God is a rival.

34:15  lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and they call thee, and thou eat of their sacrifice;

15  Do not enter into a pact with the men of those regions, lest, when they will have fornicated with their gods and worshiped their idols, someone might call upon you to eat from what was immolated.

34:16  and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go astray after their gods, and make thy sons go astray after their gods.

16  and thou shouldest take of their daughters to thy sons, and thou shouldest give of thy daughters to their sons; and thy daughters should go a whoring after their gods, and thy sons should go a whoring after their gods.

16  Neither shall you take a wife for your son from their daughters, lest, after they themselves have fornicated, they may cause your sons also to fornicate with their gods.

34:17  Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

17  And thou shalt not make to thyself molten gods.

17  You shall not make for yourselves any molten gods.

34:18  The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

18  And thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I have charged thee, at the season in the month of new corn; for in the month of new corn thou camest out from Egypt.

18  You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days, you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, in the time of the month of what is new. For in the month of springtime you departed from Egypt.

34:19  All that openeth the womb is Mine; and of all thy cattle thou shalt sanctify the males, the firstlings of ox and sheep.

19  The males are mine, everything that opens the womb; every first-born of oxen, and every first-born of sheep.

19  All of the male kind, which open the womb, shall be mine: from all the animals, as much of oxen as of sheep, it shall be mine.

34:20  And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty.

20  The firstborn of a donkey, you shall redeem with a sheep. But if you will not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. You shall not appear empty in my sight.

20  And all the firstlings of the cattle you shall redeem with a lamb; but if you shall not redeem it, then you shall kill it. All the first-born of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty-handed.

34:21  Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; in plowing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

21  For six days you shall work. On the seventh day you shall cease to cultivate and to harvest.

21  Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in the time of ploughing and during harvest you shall rest.

34:22  And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, even of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the turn of the year.

22  And thou shalt keep to me the feast of weeks, the beginning of wheat-harvest; and the feast of ingathering in the middle of the year.

22  You shall observe the Solemnity of Weeks with the first-fruits of the grain from the harvest of your wheat, and a Solemnity when the time of the year returns and everything is stored away.

34:23  Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before YHWH GOD, the God of Israel.

23  Three times a year shall all your memorial offerings be brought before the LORD, the God of Israel.

23  Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

34:24  For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders; neither shall any man covet thy land, when thou goest up to appear before YHWH thy God three times in the year.

24  For when I will have taken away the nations before your face, and enlarged your borders, no one shall lie in wait against your land when you will go up to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, three times a year.

34:25  Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

25  You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven; and there shall not remain, in the morning, any of the victim of the Solemnity of the Passover.

34:26  The choicest first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of YHWH thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.'

26  The first-fruits of thy land shalt thou put into the house of the Lord thy God: thou shalt not boil a lamb in his mother’s milk.

26  The first of the fruits of your land you shall offer in the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.”

34:27  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Write thou these words, for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.'

27  And the Lord said to Moses, Write these words for thyself, for on these words I have established a covenant with thee and with Israel.

34:28  And he was there with YHWH forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words.

28  And Moses was there before the Lord forty days, and forty nights; he did not eat bread, and he did not drink water; and he wrote upon the tables these words of the covenant, the ten sayings.

28  Therefore, he was in that place with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread and he did not drink water, and he wrote on the tablets the ten words of the covenant.

34:29  And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face sent forth beams while He talked with him.

29  And when Moses went down from the mountain, there were the two tables in the hands of Moses, —as then he went down from the mountain, Moses knew not that the appearance of the skin of his face was glorified, when God spoke to him.

29  And when Moses descended from Mount Sinai, he held the two tablets of the testimony, and he did not know that his face was radiant from the sharing of words with the Lord.

34:30  And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face sent forth beams; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

30  And Aaron and all the elders of Israel saw Moses, and the appearance of the skin of his face was made glorious, and they feared to approach him.

30  Then Aaron and the sons of Israel, seeing that the face of Moses was radiant, were afraid to approach close by.

34:31  And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him; and Moses spoke to them.

31  And being called by him, they turned back, both Aaron and the leaders of the assembly. And after he had spoken to them,

31  So Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them.

34:32  And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh, and he gave them in commandment all that YHWH had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

32  And afterwards all the children of Israel came to him, and he commanded them all things, whatsoever the Lord had commanded him in the mount of Sina.

32  all the sons of Israel also now came to him. And he instructed them in all the things that he had heard from the Lord on Mount Sinai.

34:33  And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

33  And having completed these words, he placed a veil over his face.

34:34  But when Moses went in before YHWH that He might speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out; and spoke unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

34  And whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak to him, he took off the veil till he went out, and he went forth and spoke to all the children of Israel whatsoever the Lord commanded him.

34  But when he entered to the Lord and was speaking with him, he took it off, until he exited. And then he spoke to the sons of Israel all that had been commanded to him.

34:35  And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face sent forth beams; and Moses put the veil back upon his face, until he went in to speak with Him.

35  And they saw that the face of Moses, when he came out, was radiant, but he covered his face again, whenever he spoke to them.

35:1  And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them: 'These are the words which YHWH hath commanded, that ye should do them.

1  Therefore, when all the multitude of the sons of Israel had gathered together, he said to them: “These are the things that the Lord has ordered to be done

1  AND Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together and said to them. These are the things which the LORD has commanded to be done.

35:2  Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to YHWH; whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death.

2  Six days shalt thou perform works, but on the seventh day shall be rest—a holy sabbath—a rest for the Lord: every one that does work on it, let him die.

2  For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, the Sabbath and the rest of the Lord, will be holy to you; whoever will have done any work in it shall be killed.

35:3  Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.'

3  Ye shall not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day; I am the Lord.

3  You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling places throughout the day of the Sabbath.”

35:4  And Moses spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'This is the thing which YHWH commanded, saying

4  And Moses said to the entire crowd of the sons of Israel: “This is the word which the Lord has instructed, saying

35:5  Take ye from among you an offering unto YHWH, whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, the YHWH'S offering: gold, and silver, and brass;

5  Take of yourselves an offering for the Lord: every one that engages in his heart shall bring the first-fruits to the Lord; gold, silver, brass,

5  Separate from among you the first-fruits to the Lord. Let all who are willing and have a ready soul offer these to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,

35:6  and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair;

6  blue, purple, double scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats’ hair,

6  hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,

35:7  and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia-wood;

7  and the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins, setim wood,

35:8  and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense;

8  and sardine stones, and stones for engraving for the shoulder-piece and full-length robe.

8  and oil to prepare lights and to produce ointment, and most sweet incense,

35:9  and onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

9  And every man that is wise in heart among you, let him come and work all things whatsoever the Lord has commanded.

9  onyx stones and gems, to adorn the ephod and the breastplate.

35:10  And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that YHWH hath commanded

10  The tabernacle, and the cords, and the coverings, and the rings, and the bars, and the posts,

10  And whoever among you is wise, let him come and make what the Lord has commanded

35:11  the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

11  and the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and its propitiatory, and the veil,

11  the tabernacle, certainly, and its roof, and also the covering, the rings, and the panels with the bars, the tent pegs and the bases,

35:12  the ark, and the staves thereof, the ark-cover, and the veil of the screen;

12  and the table and all its furniture,

12  the ark and its bars, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it,

35:13  the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the showbread;

13  and the candle-stick for the light and all its furniture,

13  the table with its bars and vessels, and the bread of the presence,

35:14  the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light;

14  and the incense, and the anointing oil,

14  the lampstand to hold up the lights, its vessels and lamps, and the oil to the nourish the fire,

35:15  and the altar of incense, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;

15  and the altar and all its furniture;

35:16  the altar of burnt-offering, with its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;

16  and the curtains of the court, and its posts,

16  the altar of holocaust and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels, the washtub and its base,

35:17  the hangings of the court, the pillars thereof, and their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;

17  and the emerald stones,

17  the curtains of the atrium, with the columns and the bases, the hanging at the doors of the vestibule,

35:18  the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords;

18  and the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments in which they shall do service;

18  the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium, with their little cords,

35:19  the plaited garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.'

19  and the garments of priesthood for the sons of Aaron and the anointing oil, and the compound incense.

19  the vestments, which are to be used in the ministry of the Sanctuary, the vestments of Aaron, the high priest, as well as those of his sons, in order to exercise the priesthood to me.”

35:20  And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

20  And all the multitude of the sons of Israel, departing from the sight of Moses,

35:21  And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and brought YHWH'S offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service thereof, and for the holy garments.

21  and they brought an offering to the Lord for all the works of the tabernacle of witness, and all its services, and for all the robes of the sanctuary.

21  offered the first-fruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was needed for worship and for the holy vestments,

35:22  And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought nose-rings, and ear-rings, and signet- rings, and girdles, all jewels of gold; even every man that brought an offering of gold unto YHWH.

22  And the men, even every one to whom it seemed good in his heart, brought from the women, even brought seals and ear-rings, and finger-rings, and necklaces, and bracelets, every article of gold.

22  men along with women provided: arm bands and earrings, rings and bracelets. And every vessel of gold was separated, to be donated to the Lord.

35:23  And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them.

23  And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with whomsoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins dyed blue, and rams’ skins dyed red.

23  If anyone had hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, fine linen and the hair of goats, the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins,

35:24  Every one that did set apart an offering of silver and brass brought YHWH'S offering; and every man, with whom was found acacia-wood for any work of the service, brought it.

24  And every one that offered an offering brought silver and brass, the offerings to the Lord; and they with whom was found incorruptible wood; and they brought offerings for all the works of the preparation.

24  metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, along with setim wood for various uses.

35:25  And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.

25  And every woman skilled in her heart to spin with her hands, brought spun articles, the blue, and purple, and scarlet and fine linen.

25  But the skillful women also gave whatever they had spun: hyacinth, purple, and vermillion, as well as fine linen,

35:26  And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.

26  and the hair of goats, donating everything of their own accord.

35:27  And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

27  Yet truly, the leaders offered onyx stones and gems, for the ephod and the breastplate,

27  And the princes brought onyx stones and precious stones for the ephod and for the breastplate,

35:28  and the spice, and the oil, for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

28  and the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the incense.

28  and aromatics and oil, to maintain the lights, and to prepare ointment, and also to produce incense with a most sweet odor.

35:29  The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto YHWH; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the YHWH had commanded by the hand of Moses to be made.

29  And every man and woman whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the works as many as the Lord appointed them to do by Moses—they the children of Israel brought an offering to the Lord.

29  All the men and women offered donations with a devout mind, so that the works might be done which the Lord had ordered by the hand of Moses. All the sons of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.

35:30  And Moses said unto the children of Israel: 'See, YHWH hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

35:31  And He hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.

31  and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding, and knowledge of all things,

35:32  And to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

32  to labour skillfully in all works of cunning workmanship, to form the gold and the silver and the brass,

32  to design and to fashion, with gold and silver and brass,

35:33  and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skilful workmanship.

33  and to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of wisdom.

33  and with engraving stones, and with the skill of a carpenter. Whatever can be skillfully invented,

35:34  And He hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

34  And God gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the son of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan.

34  he has given to his heart. It is likewise with Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan.
