of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I
will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and
thou shalt drive them out before thee.
02:023:032 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
02:023:033 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin
against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a
snare unto thee.
02:024:001 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and
Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;
and worship ye afar off.
02:024:002 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not
come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
02:024:003 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD,
and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one
voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will
we do.
02:024:004 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early
in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and
twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
02:024:005 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered
burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto
the LORD.
02:024:006 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and
half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
02:024:007 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience
of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will
we do, and be obedient.
02:024:008 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and
said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath
made with you concerning all these words.
02:024:009 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy
of the elders of Israel:
02:024:010 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet
as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were
the body of heaven in his clearness.
02:024:011 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his
hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
02:024:012 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount,
and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law,
and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach
them.
02:024:013 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up
into the mount of God.
02:024:014 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we
come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you:
if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
02:024:015 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the
mount.
02:024:016 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the
cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto
Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
02:024:017 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire
on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
02:024:018 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up
into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and
forty nights.
02:025:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
02:025:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an
offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart
ye shall take my offering.
02:025:003 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold,
and silver, and brass,
02:025:004 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats'
hair,
02:025:005 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim
wood,
02:025:006 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet
incense,
02:025:007 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the
breastplate.
02:025:008 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
02:025:009 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the
tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof,
even so shall ye make it.
02:025:010 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a
half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
02:025:011 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.
02:025:012 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in
the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one
side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
02:025:013 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them
with gold.
02:025:014 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of
the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
02:025:015 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be
taken from it.
02:025:016 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall
give thee.
02:025:017 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and
a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
breadth thereof.
02:025:018 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work
shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
02:025:019 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on
the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the
cherubims on the two ends thereof.
02:025:020 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high,
covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces
shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the
faces of the cherubims be.
02:025:021 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in
the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
02:025:022 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee
from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims
which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I
will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
02:025:023 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall
be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a half the height thereof.
02:025:024 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a
crown of gold round about.
02:025:025 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round
about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border
thereof round about.
02:025:026 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.
02:025:027 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the
staves to bear the table.
02:025:028 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay
them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
02:025:029 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof,
and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of
pure gold shalt thou make them.
02:025:030 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
02:025:031 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work
shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches,
his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
02:025:032 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three
branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three
branches of the candlestick out of the other side:

in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other
branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that
come out of the candlestick.
02:025:034 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto
almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
02:025:035 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and
a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two
branches of the same, according to the six branches that
proceed out of the candlestick.
02:025:036 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it
shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
02:025:037 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall
light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against
it.
02:025:038 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be
of pure gold.
02:025:039 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these
vessels.
02:025:040 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was
shewed thee in the mount.
02:026:001 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of
fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with
cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
02:026:002 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits,
and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of
the curtains shall have one measure.

of the tabernacle.
02:026:013 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of

for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children
of Israel.
02:028:001 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with

02:028:033 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of
blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem
thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
02:028:034 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a
pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
02:028:035 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be
heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD,
and when he cometh out, that he die not.
02:028:036 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it,
like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
02:028:037 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the
mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
02:028:038 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the
iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel
shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always

reach:
02:028:043 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they
come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 his seed after him.
02:029:001 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,
02:029:002 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil,
and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour
shalt thou make them.
02:029:003 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the
basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
02:029:004 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with
