¹ And the Lord said to Moses,

² Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

³ Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.

⁴ Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.

⁵ And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.

⁶ And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.

⁷ And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

⁸ Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.

⁹ And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

¹⁰ And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;

¹¹ And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's Name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

¹² And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.

¹³ And the Lord said to Moses,

¹⁴ Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.

¹⁵ And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.

¹⁶ And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.

¹⁷ And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.

¹⁸ And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

¹⁹ And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;

²⁰ Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.

²¹ He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

²² You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.

²³ And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

¹ And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

² Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

³ And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

⁴ And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

⁵ And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

⁶ And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

⁷ And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

⁸ The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

⁹ And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

¹⁰ Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases are to be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their bands are to be of silver.

¹¹ And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

¹² And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

¹³ And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide.

¹⁴ On the one side of the doorway will be hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases;

¹⁵ And on the other side, hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.

¹⁶ And across the doorway, a veil of twenty cubits of the best linen, made of needlework of blue and purple and red, with four pillars and four bases.

¹⁷ All the pillars round the open space are to have silver bands, with hooks of silver and bases of brass.

¹⁸ The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.

¹⁹ All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

²⁰ Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

²¹ Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.
