¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.

³ `And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold, and silver, and brass,

⁴ and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' [hair],

⁵ and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

⁶ oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the perfume of the spices,

⁷ shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

⁸ `And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst;

⁹ according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make [it].

¹⁰ `And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

¹¹ and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.

¹² `And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

¹³ and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] gold,

¹⁴ and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them,

¹⁵ in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it;

¹⁶ and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.

¹⁷ `And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

¹⁸ and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

¹⁹ and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.

²⁰ `And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another -- towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.

²¹ `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee;

²² and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which [are] on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.

²³ `And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

²⁴ and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about,

²⁵ and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about.

²⁶ `And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put the rings on the four corners, which [are] to its four feet;

²⁷ over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table;

²⁸ and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them;

²⁹ and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them;

³⁰ and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.

³¹ `And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same;

³² and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side;

³³ three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick.

³⁴ `And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers;

³⁵ 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, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick;

³⁶ their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;

³⁷ and thou hast made its seven lamps, and [one] hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front.

³⁸ `And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;

³⁹ of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels.

⁴⁰ And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.

¹ `And this [is] the thing which thou dost to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: Take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones,

² and bread unleavened, and cakes unleavened anointed with oil, of fine wheaten flour thou dost make them,

³ and thou hast put them on one basket, and hast brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams.

⁴ `And Aaron and his sons thou dost bring near unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

⁵ and thou hast taken the garments, and hast clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and hast girded him with the girdle of the ephod,

⁶ and hast set the mitre on his head, and hast put the holy crown on the mitre,

⁷ and hast taken the anointing oil, and hast poured [it] on his head, and hast anointed him.

⁸ `And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them [with] coats,

⁹ and hast girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and hast bound on them bonnets; and the priesthood hath been theirs by a statute age-during, and thou hast consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons,

¹⁰ and hast brought near the bullock before the tent of meeting, and Aaron hath laid -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the bullock.

¹¹ `And thou hast slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,

¹² and hast taken of the blood of the bullock, and hast put [it] on the horns of the altar with thy finger, and all the blood thou dost pour out at the foundation of the altar;

¹³ and thou hast taken all the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and hast made perfume on the altar;

¹⁴ and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, thou dost burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it [is] a sin-offering.

¹⁵ `And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,

¹⁶ and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken its blood, and hast sprinkled [it] on the altar round about,

¹⁷ and the ram thou dost cut into its pieces, and hast washed its inwards, and its legs, and hast put [them] on its pieces, and on its head;

¹⁸ and thou hast made perfume with the whole ram on the altar. It [is] a burnt-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance; a fire-offering it [is] to Jehovah.

¹⁹ `And thou hast taken the second ram, and Aaron hath laid -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the ram,

²⁰ and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken of its blood, and hast put on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot, and hast sprinkled the blood on the altar round about;

²¹ and thou hast taken of the blood which [is] on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and hast sprinkled on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he hath been hallowed, he, and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

²² `And thou hast taken from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and the right leg, for it [is] a ram of consecration,

²³ and one round cake of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one thin cake out of the basket of the unleavened things which [is] before Jehovah.

²⁴ `And thou hast set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and hast waved them -- a wave-offering before Jehovah;

²⁵ and thou hast taken them out of their hand, and hast made perfume on the altar beside the burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance before Jehovah; a fire-offering it [is] to Jehovah.

²⁶ `And thou hast taken the breast from the ram of the consecration which [is] for Aaron, and hast waved it -- a wave-offering before Jehovah, and it hath become thy portion;

²⁷ and thou hast sanctified the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, which hath been waved, and which hath been lifted up from the ram of the consecration, of that which [is] for Aaron, and of that which [is] for his sons;

²⁸ and it hath been for Aaron and for his sons, by a statute age-during from the sons of Israel, for it [is] a heave-offering; and it is a heave offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings -- their heave-offering to Jehovah.

²⁹ `And the holy garments which are Aaron's, are for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to consecrate in them their hand;

³⁰ seven days doth the priest in his stead (of his sons) put them on, when he goeth in unto the tent of meeting, to minister in the sanctuary.

³¹ `And the ram of the consecration thou dost take, and hast boiled its flesh in the holy place;

³² and Aaron hath eaten -- his sons also -- the flesh of the ram, and the bread which [is] in the basket, at the opening of the tent of meeting;

³³ and they have eaten those things by which there is atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger doth not eat -- for they [are] holy;

³⁴ and if there be left of the flesh of the consecration or of the bread till the morning, then thou hast burned that which is left with fire; it is not eaten, for it [is] holy.

³⁵ `And thou hast done thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee; seven days thou dost consecrate their hand;

³⁶ and a bullock, a sin-offering, thou dost prepare daily for the atonements, and thou hast atoned for the altar, in thy making atonement on it, and hast anointed it to sanctify it;

³⁷ seven days thou dost make atonement for the altar, and hast sanctified it, and the altar hath been most holy; all that is coming against the altar is holy.

³⁸ `And this [is] that which thou dost prepare on the altar; two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually;

³⁹ the one lamb thou dost prepare in the morning, and the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings;

⁴⁰ and a tenth [deal] of fine flour, mixed with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin, and a libation, a fourth part of a hin, of wine, [is] for the one lamb.

⁴¹ `And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; according to the present of the morning, and according to its libation, thou dost prepare for it, for sweet fragrance, a fire-offering, to Jehovah: --

⁴² a continual burnt-offering for your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah, whither I am met with you, to speak unto thee there,

⁴³ and I have met there with the sons of Israel, and it hath been sanctified by My honour.

⁴⁴ `And I have sanctified the tent of meeting, and the altar, and Aaron and his sons I sanctify for being priests to Me,

⁴⁵ and I have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God,

⁴⁶ and they have known that I [am] Jehovah their God, who hath brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may tabernacle in their midst; I [am] Jehovah their God.

⁵ who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') --
