¹ 耶和華曉諭摩西說：

² 正月初一日，你要立起帳幕，

³ 把法櫃安放在裡面，用幔子將櫃遮掩。

⁴ 把桌子搬進去，擺設上面的物。把燈臺搬進去，點其上的燈。

⁵ 把燒香的金壇安在法櫃前，掛上帳幕的門簾。

⁶ 把燔祭壇安在帳幕門前。

⁷ 把洗濯盆安在會幕和壇的中間，在盆裡盛水。

⁸ 又在四圍立院帷，把院子的門簾掛上。

⁹ 用膏油把帳幕和其中所有的都抹上，使帳幕和一切器具成聖，就都成聖。

¹⁰ 又要抹燔祭壇和一切器具，使壇成聖，就都成為至聖。

¹¹ 要抹洗濯盆和盆座，使盆成聖。

¹² 要使亞倫和他兒子到會幕門口來，用水洗身。

¹³ 要給亞倫穿上聖衣，又膏他，使他成聖，可以給我供祭司的職分；

¹⁴ 又要使他兒子來，給他們穿上內袍。

¹⁵ 怎樣膏他們的父親，也要照樣膏他們，使他們給我供祭司的職分。他們世世代代凡受膏的，就永遠當祭司的職任。

¹⁶ 摩西這樣行，都是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

¹⁷ 第二年正月初一日，帳幕就立起來。

¹⁸ 摩西立起帳幕，安上帶卯的座，立上板，穿上閂，立起柱子。

¹⁹ 在帳幕以上搭罩棚，把罩棚的頂蓋蓋在其上，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²⁰ 又把法版放在櫃裡，把杠穿在櫃的兩旁，把施恩座安在櫃上。

²¹ 把櫃抬進帳幕，掛上遮掩櫃的幔子，把法櫃遮掩了，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²² 又把桌子安在會幕內，在帳幕北邊，在幔子外。

²³ 在桌子上將餅陳設在耶和華面前，是照耶和華所吩咐他的

²⁴ 又把燈臺安在會幕內，在帳幕南邊，與桌子相對，

²⁵ 在耶和華面前點燈，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²⁶ 把金壇安在會幕內的幔子前，

²⁷ 在壇上燒了馨香料做的香，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²⁸ 又掛上帳幕的門簾。

²⁹ 在會幕的帳幕門前，安設燔祭壇，把燔祭和素祭獻在其上，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

³⁰ 把洗濯盆安在會幕和壇的中間，盆中盛水，以便洗濯。

³¹ 摩西和亞倫並亞倫的兒子在這盆裡洗手洗腳。

³² 他們進會幕或就近壇的時候，便都洗濯，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

³³ 在帳幕和壇的四圍立了院帷，把院子的門簾掛上。這樣，摩西就完了工。

³⁴ 當時，雲彩遮蓋會幕，耶和華的榮光就充滿了帳幕。

³⁵ 摩西不能進會幕；因為雲彩停在其上，並且耶和華的榮光充滿了帳幕。

³⁶ 每逢雲彩從帳幕收上去，以色列人就起程前往；

³⁷ 雲彩若不收上去，他們就不起程，直等到雲彩收上去。

³⁸ 日間，耶和華的雲彩是在帳幕以上；夜間，雲中有火，在以色列全家的眼前。在他們所行的路上都是這樣。

¹ 耶和華從會幕中呼叫摩西，對他說：

¹ Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me.

² The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

³ Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

⁴ Therefore speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I Yahweh will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols;

⁵ that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

⁶ Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Return, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

⁷ For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I Yahweh will answer him by myself:

⁸ and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁹ If the prophet is deceived and speak a word, I, Yahweh, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

¹⁰ They shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him who seeks [to him];

¹¹ that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹² The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹³ Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal;

¹⁴ though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁵ If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals;

¹⁶ though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.

¹⁷ Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, sword, go through the land; so that I cut off from it man and animal;

¹⁸ though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.

¹⁹ Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal;

²⁰ though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

²¹ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal!

²² Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth to you, and you shall see their way and their doings; and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.

²³ They shall comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, says the Lord Yahweh.
