THE BOOK OF
EXODUS
CHAPTERS 31-40
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have
called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
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,
4 To devise
cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting
of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 And I, behold,
I have given with him Aholiab, 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;
7 The tabernacle
of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
8 And the table
and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the
altar of incense,
9 And the altar
of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 And the cloths
of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
11 And the
anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I
have commanded thee shall they do.
12 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou
also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your
generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep
the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it
shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul
shall be cut off from among his people.
15
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest,
holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely
be put to death.
16 Wherefore the
children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout
their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six
days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was
refreshed.
18 And he gave
unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two
tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
1 ¶ And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come
down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and
said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of
Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron said
unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives,
of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 And all the
people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them
unto Aaron.
4
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving
tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O
Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron
saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To
morrow is a feast to the LORD.
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 play.
7 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for
thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted
themselves:
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 thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 And the LORD
said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked
people:
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.
11 And Moses
besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against
thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great
power, and with a mighty hand?
12
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring
them out, 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.
13 Remember
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest 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.
14 And the LORD
repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
15 ¶ And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and
the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on
both their sides; on the one side and on the other were
they written.
16 And the tables
were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the
tables.
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.
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.
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 brake them beneath the mount.
20
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and
ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of
Israel drink of it.
21 ¶ And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto
thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the
people, that they are set on mischief.
23 For they said
unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
24
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So
they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 And when Moses
saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame
among their enemies:)
26 Then Moses
stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him.
27 And he said
unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his
side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every
man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
28 And the
children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the
people that day about three thousand men.
29 For Moses had
said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son,
and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
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 the
LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 And Moses
returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
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.
33 And the LORD
said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my
book.
34
Therefore 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.
35 And the LORD
plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up
hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt,
unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto
thy seed will I give it:
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:
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.
4 And when the
people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his
ornaments.
5
For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye
are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment,
and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may
know what to do unto thee.
6 And the
children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7 ¶ And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without
the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the
congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went
out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
8
And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all
the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after
Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
9 And it came to
pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and
stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
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.
11 And the LORD
spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned
again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12 ¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, 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.
13 Now therefore,
I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy
sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14 And he said,
My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 And he said
unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein
shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be
separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the
earth.
17 And the LORD
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.
18 And he said, I
beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will
proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will
be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said,
Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD
said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall
come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the
rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will
take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be
seen.
1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone
like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in
the first tables, which thou brakest.
2 And be ready in
the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present
thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
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.
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 the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 ¶ And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with
him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 And the LORD
passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and
gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7
Keeping mercy for thousands, 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
to the fourth generation.
8 And Moses made
haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9
And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my
Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our
iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10 ¶ And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all
thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor
in any nation: and all the people among which thou art
shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with
thee.
11 Observe thou
that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the
Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite,
and the Jebusite.
12
Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of
the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
13 But ye shall
destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 For thou shalt
worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15
Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go
a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call
thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 And thou take
of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their
gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
17
Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
18 ¶ The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven
days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the
month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
19 All that
openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 But the
firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not,
then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt
redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21 Six days thou
shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
22 And thou shalt
observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast
of ingathering at the year's end.
23 Thrice in the
year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
24
For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders:
neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before
the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
25 Thou shalt not
offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the
feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
26
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house
of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
27 And the LORD
said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I
have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 ¶ And he was there with the LORD 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 commandments.
29 And it came to
pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in
Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the
skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
30
And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the
skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
31 And Moses
called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned
unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward
all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment
all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 And till Moses
had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34 But when Moses
went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came
out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was
commanded.
35
And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of
Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in
to speak with him.
1 ¶ And Moses gathered all the congregation of the
children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are
the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
2 Six days shall
work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a
sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to
death.
3
Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath
day.
4 And Moses spake
unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing
which the LORD commanded, saying,
5 Take ye from
among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him
bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
6
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
7 And rams' skins
dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 And oil for the
light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 And onyx
stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10 And every wise
hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath
commanded;
11 The
tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars,
his pillars, and his sockets,
12 The ark, and
the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
13 The table, and
his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
14
The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with
the oil for the light,
15 And the
incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense,
and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
16 The altar of
burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
17 The hangings
of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of
the court,
18 The pins of
the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 The cloths of
service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the
priest's office.
20 ¶ And all the congregation of the children of Israel
departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came,
every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made
willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and
for the holy garments.
22 And they came,
both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and
earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that
offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
23 And every man,
with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
24 Every one that
did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering: and
every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service,
brought it.
25 And all the
women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought
that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of
fine linen.
26 And all the
women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
27 And the rulers
brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the
breastplate;
28
And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the
sweet incense.
29 The children
of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose
heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had
commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
30 ¶ And Moses said unto the
children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri,
the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And he hath
filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in
knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 And to devise
curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33
And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to
make any manner of cunning work.
34 And he hath
put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach,
of the tribe of Dan.
35 Them hath he
filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer,
in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even
of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
1 ¶ Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise
hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding
to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary,
according to all that the LORD had commanded.
2 And Moses
called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the
LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the
work to do it:
3
And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of
Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it
withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
4 And all the
wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his
work which they made;
5
And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than
enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
6 And Moses gave
commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying,
Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.
So the people were restrained from bringing.
7
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and
too much.
8 ¶ And every wise hearted man among them that wrought
the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue,
and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
9 The length of
one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
10 And he coupled
the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one
unto another.
11 And he made loops
of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise
he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
12 Fifty loops
made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain
which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.
13 And he made
fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
14 ¶ And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent
over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15 The length of
one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain:
the eleven curtains were of one size.
16
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves.
17 And he made
fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty
loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
18 And he made
fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19
And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a
covering of badgers' skins above that.
20 And he made
boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
21 The length of
a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22
One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he
make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 And he made
boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
24 And forty
sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another
board for his two tenons.
25 And for the
other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty
boards,
26 And their
forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 And for the
sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 And two boards
made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29 And they were
coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he
did to both of them in both the corners.
30
And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of
silver, under every board two sockets.
31 And he made
bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 And five bars
for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.
33 And he made
the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 And he
overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for
the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 ¶ And he made a vail of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of
cunning work.
36 And he made
thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their
hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 And he made an
hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen, of needlework;
38 And the five
pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their
fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
1 ¶ And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits
and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half
the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
2 And he overlaid
it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round
about.
3 And he cast for
it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon
the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
4
And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5 And he put the
staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And he made the
mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one
cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two
cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
8 One cherub on
the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of
the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
9 And the
cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the
mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
10 ¶ And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits
was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half
the height thereof:
11 And he
overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12
Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made
a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
13 And he cast
for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in
the four feet thereof.
14 Over against
the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15 And he made
the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16 And he made
the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his
bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
17
And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the
candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers,
were of the same:
18 And six
branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out
of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
19 Three bowls
made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three
bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout
the six branches going out of the candlestick.
20 And in the
candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
21 And a knop
under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and
a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out
of it.
22 Their knops
and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he made
his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
24 Of a talent of
pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
25 ¶ And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the
length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and
two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of
the same.
26 And he
overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round
about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
27 And he made
two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it,
upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.
28
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made
the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the
work of the apothecary.
1 ¶ And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim
wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits
the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
2 And he made the
horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same:
and he overlaid it with brass.
3 And he made all
the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof
made he of brass.
4 And he made for
the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the
midst of it.
5 And he cast four
rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 And he put the
staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the
altar hollow with boards.
8 And he made the
laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women
assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9 ¶ And he made the court: on the south side southward the
hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10 Their pillars
were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and
their fillets were of silver.
11
And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their
pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the
pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the
west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets
ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings
of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their
sockets three.
15 And for the
other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of
fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16
All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 And the
sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their
fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the
pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
18 And the
hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the
length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the
hangings of the court.
19 And their
pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and
the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
20 And all the
pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 ¶ This is the sum of the
tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according
to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar,
son to Aaron the priest.
22 And Bezaleel
the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD
commanded Moses.
23
And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an
engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and
in scarlet, and fine linen.
24 All the gold
that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold
of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 And the silver
of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a
thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of
the sanctuary:
26 A bekah for
every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old
and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and
fifty men.
27 And of the
hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the
sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a
socket.
28
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks
for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the brass
of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30 And therewith
he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the
altar,
31 And the
sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all
the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
1 ¶ And of the blue, and purple, and
scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made
the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
2 And he made the
ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3
And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to
work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine
linen, with cunning work.
4 They made
shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled
together.
5 And the curious
girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6 And they
wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven,
with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And he put them
on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
8 And he made the
breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was
foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof,
and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10
And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a
topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11 And the second
row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 And the third
row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth
row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14 And the stones
were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to
their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name,
according to the twelve tribes.
15 And they made
upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure
gold.
16 And they made
two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends
of the breastplate.
17 And they put
the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the
breastplate.
18
And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two
ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
19 And they made
two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the
border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
20 And they made
two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod
underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof,
above the curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And they did
bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of
blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the
breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was
an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band
round about the hole, that it should not rend.
24 And they made
upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
twined linen.
25
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates
upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell and a
pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to
minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 And they made
coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28
And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen
breeches of fine twined linen,
29 And a girdle
of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
30 And they made
the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing,
like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied
unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
32 ¶ Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent
of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all
that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
33 And they
brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches,
his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
34 And the
covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the
vail of the covering,
35
The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36 The table, and
all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37 The pure
candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order,
and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
38 And the golden
altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging
for the tabernacle door,
39 The brasen
altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and
his foot,
40 The hangings
of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate,
his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
41 The cloths of
service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the
priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
42 According to
all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43
And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as
the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 On the first
day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 And thou shalt put
therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 And thou shalt
bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order
upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
5
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of
the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
6 And thou shalt
set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the
tent of the congregation.
7 And thou shalt
set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
8 And thou shalt
set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9 And thou shalt
take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and
shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his
vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11 And thou shalt
anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
12 And thou shalt
bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and wash them with water.
13
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify
him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
14 And thou shalt
bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 And thou shalt
anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me
in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 ¶ Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD
commanded him, so did he.
17 And it came to
pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that
the tabernacle was reared up.
18 And Moses
reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up
his pillars.
19 And he spread
abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above
upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20 And he took
and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the
mercy seat above upon the ark:
21
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the
covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he put the
table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle
northward, without the vail.
23 And he set the
bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded
Moses.
24 And he put the
candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the
side of the tabernacle southward.
25 And he lighted
the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 And he put the
golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 And he set up
the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
29 And he put the
altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
30
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar,
and put water there, to wash withal.
31 And Moses and
Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 When they went
into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they
washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
33
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and
set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34 ¶ Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation,
and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was
not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle.
36 And when the
cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward
in all their journeys:
37 But if the
cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken
up.
38
For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was
on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their
journeys.
