¹ Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

² And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

³ And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

⁴ Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

⁵ Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

⁶ That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

⁷ The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

⁸ Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

¹⁰ And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

¹¹ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:

¹² And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

¹³ In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

¹⁴ They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

¹³ And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

³ You shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

⁴ You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lampstand, and light its lamps.

⁵ You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

⁶ "You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

⁷ You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.

⁸ You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

⁹ "You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture: and it will be holy.

¹⁰ You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar will be most holy.

¹¹ You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.

¹² "You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

¹³ You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

¹⁴ You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

¹⁵ You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."

¹⁶ Moses did so. According to all that Yahweh commanded him, so he did.

¹⁷ It happened in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.

¹⁸ Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.

¹⁹ He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

²⁰ He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

²¹ He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

²² He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside of the veil.

²³ He set the bread in order on it before Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

²⁴ He put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

²⁵ He lit the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

²⁶ He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;

²⁷ and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

²⁸ He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

²⁹ He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

³⁰ He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.

³¹ Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.

³² When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

³³ He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

³⁴ Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.

³⁵ Moses wasn't able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh's glory filled the tabernacle.

³⁶ When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;

³⁷ but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they didn't travel until the day that it was taken up.

³⁸ For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
