brick, and in all labour of the field, all the work which they
wrought, they made them do with hardship.
15 And the king of Mizraim spake to the midwives of
Jewesses, (Yehuditha,) of whom the name of the one was
Shiphra, and the name of the second Puvah; 16 And he
said, When you do the office of the midwife among the
Jewish women, and you look upon the childbirth, if it be
a son, you shall kill him; but if a daughter, let her live.
17 But the midwives feared before the Lord, and did not
act as the king of Mizraim had bidden them, but preserved
the sons alive. 18 And the king of Mizraim called 19 The
midwives said to Pharoh, It is because the Jewesses are
unlike the Mizraite women; they are cunning, and give
birth before the midwives come to them. 20 And the
Lord did good to the midwives; and the people multiplied
and became strong. 21 And because the midwives feared
before the Lord He made for them houses. 22 But Pharoh
commanded all his people, saying, Every son who is born
to the Jews you shall throw into the river, and every
daughter you shall keep alive.

1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took a
daughter of Levi (to wife). 2 And the woman conceived,
and bare a son; and she saw that he was good, and
concealed him three months. 3 But not being able to
hide him longer, she took an ark of reed, and covered it
with bitumen and pitch, and laid the child within it, and
set it in the river upon the brink of the stream. 4 And
his sister stationed herself at a distance, to know what
would be done to him. 5 And the daughter of Pharoh came
down to wash at the river, and her damsels walked on
the river’s bank; and she saw the ark in the flood, and
reached out her arm and took it. 6 And opening, she saw
Exodus 2:7 3 Exodus 2:18
the child; and, behold, the infant wept. And she had
compassion on him and said, This is one of the children
of the Jehudaee. 7 Then spake his sister to the daughter of
Pharoh, Shall I go and call a nurse-woman of the Jehudaee
who will suckle the child for thee? 8 And the daughter of
Pharoh said to her, Go; and the maiden went, and called
the child’s mother. 9 And Pharoh’s daughter said to her,
Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will give thee
they recompense. And the woman took the child and
suckled him. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him
to Pharoh’s daughter, and he became to her a son, and she
called his name Mosheh, saying, Because I drew him out
from the water.
11 And it was in those days when Mosheh had grown
that he went out to his brethren and beheld their servi-
tude. And he saw a Mizraite man smite a man, a Jehudai,
(one) of his brethren. 12 And he turned this way and that,
and saw that there was no man; and smote the Mizraite,
and buried him in the sand. 13 And he went out the
second day, and, behold, two men, Jehudaeen contended.
And he said to the guilty one, Why did you strike your
companion? 14 But he said, Who set you a chief man and
judge over us? Will you who speak so kill me, as you killed
the Mizraya? And Mosheh was afraid, and said, Surely the
thing is known.
15 And Pharoh heard that thing, and sought to kill
Mosheh; and Mosheh fled from before Pharoh, and dwelt
in the land of Midian. And he sat by a well; 16 And
the prince (rabba) of Midian had seven daughters; and
they came and drew and filled the troughs to water their
father’s flock. 17 But the shepherds came and drave them
away; and Mosheh arose and rescued them, and watered
the flock. 18 And they came to Reuel their father; and he
said, What is this, that ye have come so quickly today?
Exodus 2:19 4 Exodus 3:6
3
1 And Mosheh tended the flock of Jethro his father-in-
law, the rabba of Midian, and he led the flock to the place
of the best pastures of the wilderness, and came to the
mountain on which was revealed the glory of the Lord,
unto Horeb. 2 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him
in a flame of fire in the midst of a bush. And he gazed, and,
behold, the bush burned with fire, but the bush was not
consumed. 3 And Mosheh said, I will now turn and see this
great sight, why the bush is not burned up. 4 And the Lord
saw that he turned to see, and the Lord called to him from
the midst of the bush, and said, Mosheh, Mosheh! And
he said, Behold me. 5 And He said, Approach not hither;
loose the sandal from thy foot, for the place where thou
standest is holy. 6 And He said, I am the God of thy fathers;
the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of
Exodus 3:7 5 Exodus 3:16
Jakob. And Mosheh bowed with his face; for he was afraid
to look up to the glory of the Lord.
7 And the Lord said, The bondage of My people who
is in Mizraim is verily disclosed before Me, and before
Me is heard their cry on account of their toils; for their
afflictions are disclosed before me; 8 And I have appeared
to deliver them from the hand of the Mizraee, and to bring
them up from that land, unto a land good and large, a
land producing milk and honey, unto the place of the
Kenaanaee, an the Hittaee, and the Amoraee, and the
Perizaee, and the Hivaee, and the Yevusaee. 9 And now,
behold, the cry of the sons of Israel ascendeth before Me,
and the affliction is also revealed before Me wherewith
the Mizraee afflict them. 10 And now, come, I will send
thee to Pharoh, and will bring forth the sons of Israel form
Mizraim. 11 And Mosheh said before the Lord, Who am I,
that I should go unto Pharoh to bring forth the sons of
Israel from Mizraim? 12 And He said, Because My Word
shall be thy helper: and this shall be the sign that I have
sent thee: In thy leading forth of the people from Mizraim
you shall do service before the Lord upon this mountain.
13 And Mosheh said before the Lord, Behold, when I am
come to the sons of Israel, and say to them, The God of
your fathers hath sent me to you, and they say to me,
What is His name? What shall I say to them? 14 And the
Lord said unto Mosheh, EHEYEH ASHER EHEYEH. And he
said, Thus shalt thou speak to the sons of Israel, EHEYEH
hath sent me unto you. 15 The Lord said moreover to
Mosheh, Thus shalt thou speak to the sons of Israel, The
Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the
God of Izhak, and the God of Jakob, hath sent me unto
you. This is My Name forever, and this is My Memorial
in every generation and generation. 16 Go and assemble
the elders of Israel and say to them, The Lord, the God
Exodus 3:17 6 Exodus 4:3
4
1 And Mosheh answered and said, But, behold, they will
not believe me nor hearken to me: for they will say, The
Lord hath no been revealed to thee. 2 And the Lord said
to him, What is that which is in thy hand? And he said,
A rod. 3 And He said, Cast it to the ground; and he cast
it upon the ground, and it became a serpent, and Mosheh
Exodus 4:4 7 Exodus 4:14
fled from before it. 4 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Stretch
forth thy hand and seize it by its tail; and he put forth
his hand and grasped it, and it became a rod in his hand.
5 That they may believe that the Lord god of their fathers
hath been revealed to thee, that God of Abraham, the God
of Izhak, and the God of Jakob. 6 And the Lord said yet
to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put
his hand into his bosom, and drew it out; and, behold,
his hand was white as snow. 7 And He said, Return thy
hand into thy bosom. And he returned his hand into his
bosom, and drew it out form his bosom, and, behold, it
had turned to be as his own flesh. 8 And it shall be, if they
will not believe thee nor receive the voice of the first sign,
that they shall believe the voice of the latter sign. 9 But if
they will not believe either of these two signs, nor receive
from thee, take of the water that is in the river, and pour
it upon the ground; and the water which thou takest form
the river shall become blood upon the ground.
10 And Mosheh said before the Lord, In entreating, I
am not a man who is (well) spoken, neither yesterday
nor the day before, and from the time that thou spakest
with Thy servant: for I am heavy of speech and of a deep
tongue. 11 But the Lord said to him, Who hath appointed
the mouth of man, and who hath appointed the mute,
or the deaf, or the open-sighted, or the blind? Have not
I, the Lord? 12 And now go, and My Word shall be with
thy mouth, and I will teach thee what to say. 13 And
he said, I beseech the Lord to send by the hand of one
who is fit to be sent. 14 And the displeasure of the Lord
was kindled against Mosheh; and He said, Is not Aharon
the Levite, thy brother, known before Me as one who
speaking can speak? And also, behold, he cometh forth
to anticipate thee, and will see thee, and rejoice in his
Exodus 4:15 8 Exodus 4:27
heart. 15 And thou shalt speak with him, and put the
words in his mouth; and My Word will be with thy mouth
and with his mouth, and I will teach you what to do. 16 And
he shall speak for thee with the people, and shall be thy
interpreter, and thou shalt be to him a rab; 17 And this staff
thou shalt take in thy hand wherewith to work the signs.
18 And Mosheh went, and returned to Jether his father-
in-law, and said to him, I will now go and return to my
brethren who are in Mizraim, and see if they still live. And
Jether said to Mosheh, Go in peace. 19 And the Lord said to
Mosheh in Midian, Go, return to Mizraim; for all the men
who sought to kill thee are dead. 20 And Mosheh took his
wife and his sons, and made them ride upon the ass, and
returned to the land of Mizraim. And Mosheh took the
staff with which the miracles had been done before the
Lord in his hand.
21 And the Lord said to Mosheh, In thy going to return
to Mizraim look to all the wonders that I have appointed
by thy hand, and do them before the Pharoh. But I will
obdurate his heart, and he will not send the people away.
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharoh, Thus said the Lord;
Israel is My son, My firstborn. 23 And I say unto thee, Let
My son go, that he may serve before Me; and if thou refuse
to send him away, behold, I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
24 And it was in the way, at the place of lodging, that the
Angel of the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. 25 And
Zipporah took a stone, and circumcised the foreskin of
her son, and approached before him, and said, On account
of the blood of this circumcision let my husband be given
(back) to me. 26 And when he had desisted from him, she
said, But for the blood of this circumcision my husband
would have been condemned to die.
27 And the Lord said to Aharon, Go thou to meet Mosheh
in the desert. And he went, and met him at the mountain
Exodus 4:28 9 Exodus 5:8
5
1 And afterward Mosheh and Aharon went in, and said
to Pharoh: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Let My
people go, to solemnize a feast (yechagun) before Me in
the desert. 2 And Pharoh said, The name of the Lord is not
know to me, that I should hearken to His word to send
Israel away. The name of the Lord is not revealed to me,
and Israel I shall not release. 3 And they said, The God
of the Jehudaee hath revealed Himself to us; let us now
go three days’ journey into the desert to sacrifice before
the Lord our God, lest He come upon us with death or
with slaughter. 4 And the king of Mizraim said to them,
Why, Mosheh and Aharon, do you hinder the people from
their works? Go to your employment. 5 And Pharoh said,
Behold now, the people of the land are many, and you
make them relax from their employment. 6 And Pharoh
that day commanded the masters of the people and the
overseers, saying, 7 You shall not continue (add) to give
straw to the people to cast bricks, as heretofore; let them
go and collect straw for themselves; 8 Yet the number of
bricks which they have made heretofore you shall still
lay upon them and not diminish; for they are idle, and
therefore cry, saying, We will go and sacrifice before our
Exodus 5:9 10 Exodus 5:22
Lord, why hast Thou done evil unto this people, and
wherefore didst Thou send me? 23 And from the time that
I went in to Pharoh to speak in Thy name he hath done
evil to this people, but liberating Thou hast not liberated
Thy people.
6
1 But the Lord said to Mosheh, Now shalt thou see what
I will do to Pharoh: for with a strong hand shall he send
them away, and with a strong hand drive them from his
land.
2 And the Lord spake to Mosheh and said to him, I am
the Lord; 3 And I appeared unto Abraham and to Izhak
and to Jakob by (the name) EI-Shaddai, but by My name
Jehovah I was not known to them. 4 And also I have
confirmed My covenant with them to give them the land
of Kenaan, the land of their sojournings in which they
sojourned. 5 And before Me hath been heard the cry of
the sons of Israel whom the Mizraee make to labour for
them; and I have remembered My covenant. 6 Therefore,
say thou to the sons of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will
bring you out from the midst of the sore labour for the
Mizraee, and will deliver you from their servitude, and
redeem you with a lofty arm and with great judgments.
7 And I will bring you nigh before Me to be a people, and
I will be unto you a God; and you shall know that I am
the Lord your God who bringeth you out from the sore
Mizrean bondage. 8 And I will lead you into the land which
I have sworn in My Word to give to Abraham, to Izhak, and
to Jakob; and to you will I give it for an inheritance; I am
the Lord. 9 And Mosheh so spake with the sons of Israel:
but they received not from Mosheh through anguish of
spirit, and from the labour which was hard upon them.
Exodus 6:10 12 Exodus 6:25
10 And the Lord spake to Mosheh, saying, 11 Go in, speak
with Pharoh king of Mizraim, that he send away the sons
of Israel from his land. 12 And Mosheh spake before the
Lord, saying, Behold, the sons of Israel have not received
from me, and how then will Pharoh receive, and I (so)
heavy of speech? 13 And the Lord spake to Mosheh and
Aharon, and gave them commandment to the sons of
Israel and unto Pharoh king of Mizraim for the going forth
of the sons of Israel from the land of Mizraim.
14 These are the heads of the house of their fathers.The
sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, Hanuk and Phalli,
Hetsron and Karmi; these are the progeny of Reuben.
15 And the sons of Shimeon, Yemuel and Yamin and Achad
and Yakin and Zochar and Shaul the son of a Kenaanitha;
these are the progeny of Shimeon. 16 And these are the
names of the sons of Levi, according to their generations:
Gershon and Kehath and Merari. And the years of the life
of Levi were a hundred and thirty and seven years. 17 The
sons of Gerson, Libni and Shimei, after their progenies.
18 And the sons of Kehath. Amram and Izhar and Hebron
and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kehath, a hundred
and thirty and three years. 19 And the sons of Merari,
Maheli and Mushi. These are the progenies of Levi, after
their generations. 20 And Amram took Yokebed the sister
of his father unto him to wife, and she bare him Aharon
and Mosheh. And the years of the life of Amram were an
hundred and thirty and seven years. 21 And the sons of
Izhar, Korah and Nepheg and Zikri. 22 And the sons of
Uzziel, Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri. 23 And Aharon
took Elisheba the daughter of Aminadab the sister of
Nachshon to him to wife; and she bare him Nadab and
Abihu, Elazar and Ithamar. 24 And the sons of Korah,
Asir and Elkanah and Abiasaph: these are the progeny of
Korah. 25 And Elazar the son of Aharon took (one) of the
Exodus 6:26 13 Exodus 7:7
7
1 But the Lord said to Mosheh, See, I have appointed
thee a Master (rab) with Pharoh, and Aharon shall be thy
interpreter (methurgeman). 2 Thou shalt speak all that
I have commanded thee, and Aharon thy brother shall
speak with Pharoh to send away the sons of Israel from
his land. 3 And I will harden the heart of Pharoh, and will
multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Mizraim.
4 But Pharoh will not receive from you; and I will give
forth the stroke of My power upon Mizraim, and will bring
out My host, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land
of Mizraim by great judgments. 5 And the Mizraee shall
know that I am the Lord when I uplift the stroke of My
power upon Mizraim, and bring forth the sons of Israel
from among them. 6 And Mosheh and Aharon did as the
Lord commanded them, so did they. 7 And Mosheh was
the son of eighty years, and Aharon the son of eighty and
three years, in their speaking with Pharoh.
Exodus 7:8 14 Exodus 7:19
8 And the Lord spake to Mosheh and Aharon, saying,
9 When Pharoh shall speak to you, saying, Produce a sign,
thou shalt say to Aharon, Take thy rod, and throw it down
before Pharoh. And it shall become a serpent (tanina,
Heb tanin, a long creature, whether serpent or crocodile).
10 And Mosheh and Aharon went in unto Pharoh, and
did as the Lord had commanded them. Aharon threw
down his rod before Pharoh and before his servants, and it
became a serpent. 11 And Pharoh called for the wise men
and the magicians; and they also, the Mizraite magicians,
did so by their enchantments. 12 They cast down every
man his rod, and they became serpents; but the rod of
Aharon swallowed up their rods. 13 And Pharoh’s heart
was hardened, and be would not hearken to them, as the
Lord had said.
14 And the Lord said to Mosheh, The heart of Pharoh
is obdurate (heavy): he is unwilling to send the people
away. 15 Go unto Pharoh in the morning; behold, he goeth
forth to the waters, and stand to meet him on the bank of
the river, and the rod that was turned to a serpent (hevja,
Heb, nachash) take in thy hand; 16 And say to him, The
Lord God of the Jehudaee hath sent me to thee, saying,
Release My people, that they may serve before Me in the
desert; and, behold, thou hast not yet acceded. 17 Thus
saith the Lord, By this thou shalt know that I am the Lord:
Behold, with the rod that is in my hand I smite the water
of the river, and it shall be turned to blood: 18 And the
fish which are in the river shall die, and the river become
putrid, and the Mizraee try in vain to drink the water from
the river. 19 And the Lord spake to Mosheh, Say to Aharon,
Take thy rod, and lift up thy hand over the waters of the
Mizraee, upon their rivers, upon their canals, and upon
their lakes, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that
they may become blood; and there shall be blood in all
Exodus 7:20 15 Exodus 8:2
8
1 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Say to Aharon, Uplift thy
hand with thy staff upon the streams, upon the rivulets,
and upon the lakes; and the frogs shall come up on the
land of Mizraim. 2 And Aharon lifted up his hand over the
waters of the Mizraee, and the frogs came up and covered
Exodus 8:3 16 Exodus 8:15
remove the aroba from Pharoh, and from his servants, and
his people, tomorrow; only let Pharoh no more be false in
not sending away the people to sacrifice unto the Lord.
26 And Mosheh went out from before Pharoh, and prayed
before the Lord. 27 And the Lord did according to the word
of Mosheh, and removed the aroba from. Pharoh and his
servants, and his people; not one remained. 28 But Pharoh
hardened his heart this time also, and would not dismiss
the people.
9
1 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Go in unto Pharoh and
say to him: Thus saith the Lord, the God of the Jehudaee;
Send My people away, that they may serve before Me:
2 For if thou refuse to send them away, and thou hast kept
them until now, 3 behold, a plague from before the Lord
shall be upon thy cattle which are in the field; upon the
horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen,
and upon the sheep, a very great death. 4 But the Lord
will make distinction between the cattle of Israel and the
cattle of the Mizraee; and of all that the children of Israel
possess not one shall die. 5 And the Lord set a time, saying,
Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land. 6 And
the Lord did that thing on the following day, and all the
cattle of the Mizraee died; but of the cattle of the sons
of Israel died not one. 7 And Pharoh sent, and, behold,
not one of the cattle of the sons of Israel had died. And
Pharoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not send the
people away.
8 And the Lord said to Mosheh and Aharon, Take you
handfuls of dust of the furnace, and let Mosheh scatter it
towards the heavens in the presence of Pharoh; 9 And it
will be like fine powder upon all the land of Mizraim, and
it shall be upon man and beast an inflammation growing
into ulcers in all the land of Mizraim. 10 And they took
Exodus 9:11 19 Exodus 9:22
Mizraim upon man, and beast, and every herb of the field
throughout the land of Mizraim. 23 And Mosheh lifted up
the rod towards the heavens, and the Lord sent thunders,
(voices,) and hail, and fire going upon the ground: and the
Lord rained hail upon the land of Mizraim, 24 And there
was hail, and fire flaming among the hail, very mighty,
such as the like of had not been in all the land of Mizraim
since the time it had been for a people. 25 And the hail
smote in all the land of Mizraim all that was in the field
from man to cattle, and every herb of the field the hail
struck, and every tree of the field it brake. 26 Only in the
land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, there was
no hail.
27 And Pharoh sent and called for Mosheh and Aharon,
and said to them, I have sinned this time; the Lord is
righteous, and I and my people are guilty. 28 Pray before
the Lord that relief may be multiplied before Him, so that
there may be upon us no more thunders of malediction
like these before the Lord, nor hail; and I will send you
away, and will not continue to detain you. 29 And Mosheh
said to him, When I shall have gone out of the city, I will
spread forth my hands in prayer before the Lord, and the
thunders shall cease, and there shall be no more hail,
that you may know that the earth is the Lord’s. 30 But
(as for) thee and thy servants, I know that as yet ye are
not humbled before the Lord God. 31 And the flax and
the barley were smitten, because the barley was earing
and the flax was in flower: 32 But the wheat and the spelt
were not smitten, for they were later. 33 And Mosheh
went out of the city from Pharoh, and spread forth his
hands in prayer before the Lord, and the thunders ceased,
and the hail and the rain which had descended came not
(more) upon the earth. 34 And Pharoh saw that the rain
had ceased, and the hail and the thunders, and he added
Exodus 9:35 21 Exodus 10:8
10
1 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Go in unto Pharoh; for
I have hardened his heart. And the heart of his servants,
to set these My signs among them; 2 and that thou mayest
relate before thy son and the son of thy son the miracles
which I wrought in Mizraim and the signs that I did set
among them, that ye may know that I am the Lord.
3 And Mosheh and Aharon entered unto Pharoh, and
said to him, Thus saith the Lord the God of the Jehudaee,
Until now thou hast obstinately refused to humble thyself
before Me; send My people away, that they may serve
Me. 4 For if thou refuse to release My people, behold,
tomorrow I will bring the locust into thy borders, 5 And
he shall cover the eye of the sun of the earth, (or, shall
hide the sun (which is) the eye of the earth,) so that it
will not be possible to see the ground; and he will devour
the residue which hath been spared (saved) and that hath
been reserved to you from the hail, and will devour every
tree which groweth up for you from the field; 6 and they
shall fill thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and
the houses of all the Mizraee, which thy fathers have not
seen, nor the fathers of thy fathers, from the day they
were upon the earth until this day. And he turned and
went out from Pharoh.
7 And the servants of Pharoh said to him, How long shall
this man be an injury (stumbling-block) to us? Send the
men away, that they may serve before the Lord their God.
Knowest thou not yet that Mizraim hath perished? 8 And
Mosheh and Aharon were made to return unto Pharoh;
Exodus 10:9 22 Exodus 10:19
and he said to them; Go, serve before the Lord your God:
(but) who and who shall go? 9 And Mosheh said, With our
young ones and with our old men will we go; with our
sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and with
our oxen, will we go; for we have a feast before the Lord.
10 And he said to them, So be the Word of the Lord in your
help when I send you away and your little ones: beware,
for the evil that you are thinking to do will be turned
against your faces. 11 Not so: but let the men go and serve
before the Lord; for it was that which you demanded. And
they were driven from before Pharoh.
12 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Lift up thy hand over
the land of Mizraim, that the locusts may come, and go
up on the land of Mizraim, and devour every herb of the
earth, even all which the hail hath left. 13 And Mosheh
stretched forth his rod upon the land of Mizraim, and the
Lord led an east wind upon the land all that day and all
the night; at morn the east wind bare the locust. 14 And
the locust came up on all the land of Mizraim, and abode
in all the boundary of Mizraim exceedingly strong. Before
him the locust had never been like him nor afterward will
he be so; 15 And he covered the eye of the sun of all the
earth, and the earth was darkened; and he devoured every
herb of the ground, and all the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left; and there did not remain any green on the
trees nor herbage of the field in all the land of Mizraim.
16 And Pharoh made haste to call Mosheh and Aharon, and
said, I have sinned before the Lord your God, and you.
17 And now, forgive my sin only this time, and intercede
before the Lord your God, that He may remove from me
only this death. 18 And they went out from Pharoh, and
prayed before the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned a west
wind exceedingly strong, and it carried the locust and
Exodus 10:20 23 Exodus 11:2
drave him into the sea of Suph, nor did one locust remain
in all the border of Mizraim. 20 Yet the heart of Pharoh
was hardened, and he would not send the sons of Israel
away.
21 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Uplift thy hand towards
heaven, and there shall be darkness upon the land of
Mizraim after the darkness of the night hath passed away.
22 And Mosheh lifted up his hand towards heaven, and
there was darkness of darkness in all the land of Mizraim
three days: 23 A man saw not his brother, nor did any man
rise up from his place, three days. Yet, all the sons of
Israel had light in their dwellings. 24 And Pharoh called
Mosheh and said, Go, serve before the Lord; only leave
your sheep and your oxen, your little ones also may go
with you. 25 But Mosheh said, Thou must give into our
hands also the holy victims and holocausts, that we may
serve before the Lord our God. 26 Our cattle too shall go
with us, and there shall not remain any thereof; for of it
we must take to serve the Lord our God, and we know not
with what we have to do service before Him until we come
thither. 27 But the Lord hardened Pharoh’s heart, and he
was not willing to send them away. 28 And Pharoh said
to him, Go from me. Beware for thyself. See my face no
more; for in the day that thou seest my face thou shalt
die. 29 And Mosheh said, Thou hast spoken well. I will see
thy face no more.
11
1 But the Lord said to Mosheh, Yet one plague will I
bring upon Pharoh and upon Mizraim; after which he
will send you hence. When sending away he thoroughly
driving will drive you from hence. 2 Speak now before the
people of Israel that a man shall require of his companion,
and a woman of her companion, vessels of silver and
Exodus 11:3 24 Exodus 12:3
12
1 And the Lord spake to Mosheh and Aharon in the
land of Mizraim, saying, 2 This month shall be to you the
beginning of the months; the first, it shall be to you, of
the months of the year. 3 Speak with all the congregation
of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month they shall take
to them every man a lamb for the house of a father, a
Exodus 12:4 25 Exodus 12:14
lamb for the house. 4 And if the house be smaller than the
numbering (required) for the lamb, let him take himself,
and his neighbour who is nearest to his house, according
to the number of the souls, every man according to the
mouth of his eating shall you count over the lamb. 5 The
lamb shall be perfect, a male, the son of a year; it shall
be to you; from the sheep or from the goats you may take
it. 6 And you shall have it in keeping till the fourteenth
day of this month, and the whole church (kehala) of the
congregation of Israel shall kill him between the suns.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and apply it upon the
two posts and upon the lintel of the houses in which they
eat him. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night roasted
with fire, and (with) unleavened cake with bitters you
shall eat him. 9 You shall not eat of it while living, neither
boiled with boiling in water, but roasted with fire; his
head with his feet and his inwards. 10 And you shall not
leave of it till the morning; and that which remains of it
till morning you shall burn in the fire. 11 And thus shall
you eat it; with your loins girded, with your sandals on
your feet, and your staves in your hands, and you shall
eat it in haste; it is the Pascha before the Lord. 12 And I
will appear in the land of Mizraim in that night, and will
kill every firstborn in the land from man unto beast, and
on all the idols of Mizraim I will execute judgment: I am
the Lord. 13 And the blood shall be for you a sign upon
the houses where you are; and I will see the blood, and
will have mercy upon you, and there shall not be among
you the destruction of death when I slay in the land of
Mizraim. 14 And this day shall be to you for a memorial,
and you shall solemnize it a festival before the Lord in
your generations; an everlasting ordinance (covenant)
Exodus 12:15 26 Exodus 12:25
13
1 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying, 2 Sanctify
unto Me all the firstborn. Everyone which openeth the
womb among the children of Israel, of man and of beast,
that is Mine.
3 And Mosheh said to the people, Remember this day,
in which you went forth from Mizraim from the house of
servitude; for with a mighty hand hath the Lord brought
you forth from thence; and you shall not eat what is
leavened. 4 This day have you come out, in the month
of Abiba. 5 And it shall be when the Lord hath led thee
into the land of the Kenaanaee and Hittaee and Emoraee
and Hivaee and Jebusaee, which He covenanted to thy
fathers to give thee, a land producing milk and honey,
that thou shalt perform this service in this month. 6 Seven
days thou shalt eat the (phatira) unleavened cake, and in
the seventh day solemnize a feast before the Lord. 7 The
unleavened cake thou shalt eat seven days; that which is
leavened shall not be seen with thee; the leavened thing
shall not be seen with thee in all thy limits. 8 And thou
shalt teach thy son on that day, saying, (It is) on account
of that which the Lord did for me in bringing me out of
Mizraim. 9 And it shall be a sign to thee on thy hand, and
for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Law of the
Lord may be in thy mouth, for that with a mighty hand
did the Lord bring thee forth from Mizraim: 10 And thou
shalt keep this ordinance in its season from time to time.
11 And it shall be, when the Lord hath brought thee
into the land of the Kenaanaee, as He sware to thee and
to thy fathers, and hath given it to thee, 12 that thou
shalt make over whatsoever openeth the womb before the
Lord; among the cattle which thou hast the male shall be
consecrate before the Lord. 13 And every firstling of an
ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb; but if thou wilt not
Exodus 13:14 30 Exodus 14:2
14
1 And the Lord spake to Mosheh, saying, 2 Speak with
Exodus 14:3 31 Exodus 14:13
which He will work for you this day; for as you have seen
the Mizraee this day, you will see them no more forever:
14 The Lord will fight for you the fight, and you shall
be quiet. 15 And the Lord said to Mosheh, I have heard
thy prayer. Speak to the children of Israel that they go
onward: 16 And thou, take thy rod and stretch forth thy
hand over the sea, and divide it, and the children of Israel
shall go in the midst of the sea on dry ground. 17 And I,
behold, I will harden the hearts of the Mizraee, and they
will go in after them; and I will be glorified by Pharoh
and by all his army, by his chariots and his horsemen;
18 And the Mizraee shall know that I am the Lord, when
I have been glorified by Pharoh and his chariots and his
horsemen.
19 And the angel of the Lord who went before the
camp of Israel passed by and came behind them; and the
column of the cloud passed from before them and abode
behind them. 20 And it entered between the camp of
the Mizraee and the camp of Israel; and was a cloud and
darkness to the Mizraee, but unto Israel a light all the
night: and that came not near to this all the night.
21 And Mosheh stretched forth his hand over the sea;
and the Lord drave the sea by a mighty east wind all the
night, and caused the sea to be dry, and the waters were
disparted; 22 And the children of Israel went into the midst
of the sea upon dry ground; and the waters were to them
a wall on their right hand and on their left. 23 And the
Mizraee followed and entered in after them, all the horses
of Pharoh, and his chariots and horsemen, into the midst
of the sea. 24 And it was in the morning watch that the
Lord looked upon the host of the Mizraee from the column
of fire and cloud, and perturbed the host of the Mizraee.
25 And he removed the wheels of the chariots, so that they
drave them by strength; and the Mizraee said, Let us flee
Exodus 14:26 33 Exodus 15:4
from before Israel; for this is the power of the Lord which
hath done battle for them against Mizraim.
26 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Stretch forth thy
hand over the sea, and the waters shall return upon the
Mizraee, upon their chariots and their horsemen. 27 And
Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea
returned, at the time of the morning, unto its strength;
and the Mizraee fled before it; and the Lord drowned
the Mizraee in the midst of the sea. 28 And the waters
returned and covered the chariots and horsemen and all
the host of Pharoh who had gone after them into the sea,
and there remained of them not one. 29 But the children
of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea; and
the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on
their left.
30 And the Lord delivered Israel that day from the
Mizraee, and Israel saw the Mizraee dead upon the shore
of the sea. 31 And Israel saw the Power of the Great Hand
which the Lord had made (to appear) in Mizraim; and the
people feared before the Lord, and believed in the Word
of the Lord, and in the prophetic (work) of Mosheh His
servant.
15
1 Then sang Mosheh and the children of Israel this
hymn before the Lord; and they spake, saying, We will
sing and give thanks before the Lord, because He is
magnified upon the mighty, and the power is His own;
the horse and his rider hath He cast into the sea. 2 My
strength and my song is the terrible Lord; He hath said by
His Word that He will be mine to redeem This is my God,
and I will build Him a sanctuary; the God of my fathers,
and I will worship before Him. 3 The Lord is the Lord of
Victory in battles, the Lord is His Name. 4 The chariots
of Pharoh and his horses He hath cast into the sea, his

1 And they journeyed from Elim, and came, the whole
assembly of the sons of Israel, to the desert of Sir, which is

1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel
Exodus 17:2 39 Exodus 17:12
19
1 In the third month of the outgoing of the sons of Israel
from the land of Mizraim, on that day came they to the
desert of Sinai. 2 And they journeyed from Rephidim, and
came to the desert of Sinai, and dwelt there by the side of
the mountain. 3 And Mosheh ascended before the Lord.
And the Lord called to him from the mount, saying, As
thus thou shalt speak to the house of Jakob, and show
Exodus 19:4 43 Exodus 19:14
his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is
thy neighbour’s.
15 [18] And all the people saw the thunders, and the
flames, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain
smoking; and the people saw, and trembled, and stood
afar off.
16 [19] And they said to Mosheh, Speak thou with us,
and we will hearken; but let it not be spoken to us from
before the Lord, lest we die.
17 [20] And Mosheh said to the people, Fear not; for that
He may prove you He hath revealed to you the glory of the
Lord, and that His fear may be before your face, that you
may not sin.
18 [21] And the people stood afar off, but Mosheh drew
nigh to the darkness where was the glory of the Lord.
19 [22] And the Lord said to Mosheh, Thus shalt thou speak
to the children of Israel; You have seen that I have spoken
to you from the heavens. 20 [23] You shall not make before
Me idols of silver, neither idols of gold shall you make to
you.
21 [24] An altar of earth shalt thou make before Me,
and shalt sacrifice upon it thy burnt offerings and thy
sanctified victims, thy sheep and thy oxen. In every place
where I may cause My Shekinah to dwell, thither will I
send My blessing, and will bless thee. 22 [25] And if thou
wilt make Me an altar of stone before Me, thou shalt not
build it with hewn stones lest thou lift up thy cutting-tool
(lit. thy sword) upon it and profane it. 23 [26] And thou
shalt not ascend by steps to My altar, that thy nakedness
may not be discerned upon it.
21
1 And these are the judgments which thou shalt set In
Exodus 21:2 47 Exodus 21:15
22
1 If a thief be found breaking through, and he be
smitten and die, there shall be no blood due to him.
2 If the eyes of witnesses fall upon him, blood shall be
due to him, paying he shall pay. If he have nothing, he
shall be sold for his robbery. 3 If the thing stolen, from an
ox to an ass, be found in his possession, they being alive,
he shall restore two for one.
4 If a man make waste a field or vineyard, or send his
cattle to consume another’s field, the best of his field and
the best of his vineyard he shall restore.
5 If fire breaks out, and it find thorns, so that sheaves or
standing corn or the field be consumed, he who kindled
the fire paying shall pay.
Exodus 22:6 50 Exodus 22:19
6 When a man giveth his neighbour silver or vessels to
keep, and they be stolen from the man’s house; if the thief
be found, he shall repay double. 7 If the thief be not found,
the master of the house shall be brought before the judges
(to make oath) that he hath not put forth his hand upon
that which his neighbour had delivered to him.
8 Upon every matter of guiltiness about ox or ass or
lamb, or raiment, or anything destroyed of which it may
be said, This is it, the cause of both shall be brought before
the judges, and he whom the judges shall condemn shall
pay double to his neighbour.
9 If a man deliver to his neighbour an ass or an ox or a
lamb or any cattle to keep, and it die, or be injured, or be
carried away, no one seeing; 10 An oath of the Lord shall be
between them that he bath not put forth his hand against
that which his neighbour had delivered, and the owner
shall accept the oath, and he shall not repay. 11 But if it be
stolen from him, he shall repay its owner; 12 And if it be
torn, and he bring witnesses that it was torn, he shall not
repay.
13 And if a man borrow of his neighbour and it be
injured or die, the owner of it not being with it, repaying
he shall repay. 14 But if the owner be with it, he shall not
repay. If it were hired, let it be (considered) for its hire.
15 And if a man seduce a virgin who is not betrothed and
lie with her, he shall surely establish her to be his wife.
16 If her father be unwilling to give her to him, he shall
weigh down silver according to the dowry of virgins.
17 An enchantress shall not live.
18 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall be surely put to
death.
19 Whosoever sacrificeth to the idols of the Gentiles
shall be put to death: but to the Name of the Lord alone.
Exodus 22:20 51 Exodus 23:2
23
1Thou shalt not take up a false report, nor set thine
hand with the wicked to be a false witness for him. 2 Thou
shalt not follow the many to wickedness, neither shalt
thou fail to teach that which in thine eyes is judgment;
after the many (majority?) thou shalt fulfil judgment.
Exodus 23:3 52 Exodus 23:15
3 And upon the poor thou shalt not be pitiful in judging
him.
4 If thou meet the ox of thy enemy, or his ass, wan-
dering away, thou shalt surely bring it back to him.
5 When thou seest thine enemy’s ass prostrate beneath his
burden, thou shalt forbear from forsaking him; thou shalt
surely abandon what is in thy heart against him, and shalt
deliver it unto him.
6 Thou shalt not warp the judgment of the poor man in
his cause. 7 From a false matter keep distant; and him who
has been acquitted and has come forth from judgment
uncondemned thou shalt not kill; for I will not justify the
guilty. 8 And thou art not to receive a bribe; for a bribe
blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the
just.
9 And thou shalt not distress the sojourner; for you
know the mind of a sojourner; for you were dwellers in
the land of Mizraim.
10 Six years thou shalt sow the land and gather in its
produce, 11 but the seventh year thou shalt let it alone
and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat,
and what they leave the beast of the field may eat. So
also shalt thou do with thy vineyard and with thy olive
ground.
12 Six days shalt thou do thy work, and in the seventh
day have rest, that thy ox and thy ass may rest, and the
son of thine handmaid and thy sojourner may be quiet.
13 And of all that I have spoken to you be mindful, and the
name of the idols of the Gentiles remember not; let it not
be heard upon thy lips.
14 Three times thou shalt solemnize festival before Me
in the year. 15 Thou shalt keep the festival of unleavened
bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened cake, as
I have commanded thee, in the time of the moon of
Exodus 23:16 53 Exodus 23:27
Abiba, for therein you went forth from Mizraim; and you
shall not appear before Me empty. 16 And the festival
of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours which thou hast
sowed in thy fields; and the festival of gathering, at the
end of the year when thou gatherest in thy labours from
the field. 17 Three times in the year shall all thy males
appear before the Lord, the Ruler of the world.
18 Thou shalt not offer with unleavened bread the blood
of My pascha, neither shall the fat of the sacrifice of the
feast remain without on the altar until morning.
19 The beginning of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt
bring into the sanctuary of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt
not eat flesh with milk.
20 Behold, I send My Angel before thee, to protect thee
in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have
prepared. 21 Take heed before Him, and hearken to His
words; rebel not against Him, for He will not forgive your
sins; for in My Name are His words.
22 For if thou wilt truly hearken to His words, and do all
that I shall speak, I will be a foe to thy enemies, and will
afflict them that afflict thee.
23 For My Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in,
to the Amoraee and Hittaee, and Perizaee and Kenaanaee,
Hivaee and Jebusaee; and I will destroy them. 24 Thou
shalt not worship their idols, nor serve them, nor do
according to their doings, but shalt utterly demolish
them, and break their images.
25 And you shall serve before the Lord your God, and
He will bless thy food and thy drink, and will take away
grievous evils from among thee. 26 There shall be none
abortive or barren in thy land; the number of thy days will
I complete. 27 I will send My terror before thee, and will
perturb all the people among whom thou shalt come to
Exodus 23:28 54 Exodus 24:6
fight against them, and I will make all thy adversaries turn
their back before thee. 28 I will send the hornet before
thee, and it shall drive out the Hivaee and Kenaanaee and
the Hittaee from before thee. 29 I will not expel them
before thee in one year, lest the land be made desolate,
and the beasts of the field multiply against thee. 30 By
little and little I will drive them out before thee, until
thou shalt be increased and inherit the land. 31 And I will
appoint thy boundary from the sea of Suph unto the sea
of the Philistaee, and from the desert to the river; for I
will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands,
and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 32 Thou shalt
strike no covenant with them nor with their idols. 33 They
shall not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to commit
sin before Me; for if thou serve their idols, it will be a
stumbling-block to thee.
24
1 And He said to Mosheh, Come up before the Lord,
thou and Aharon, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the
elders of Israel; and they shall worship at a distance. 2 And
Mosheh shall draw nigh alone before the Lord, but they
shall not draw nigh, nor shall the people ascend with
them.
3 And Mosheh came and recited to 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
that the Lord hath spoken will we do. 4 And Mosheh wrote
all the words of the Lord. And he arose in the morning,
and builded an altar at the lower part of the mountain,
and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 And he sent the firstborn sons of Israel, and they offered
holocausts, and sacrificed oxen (as) consecrated victims
before the Lord. 6 And Mosheh took half of the blood
and set it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled upon
Exodus 24:7 55 Exodus 24:18
25
1 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying, 2 Speak
with the sons of Israel that they set apart before Me a
separated portion: from every man who is willing in his
heart thou shalt receive that which is set apart. 3 And
this is the separation that thou shalt take of them: gold,
and silver and brass; 4 And hyacinth, and purple and
vermilion, (bright colour,) and fine linen, (butz,) and hair
of goats, 5 And skins of rams made red, and skins of purple,
and sittin woods; 6 Oil for the illuminators, aromatics for
the anointing oil, and aromatics for the incense; 7 Burilla
stones, and stones that may complete the insetting of the
ephod and the breastplate. 8 And they shall make before
me A SANCTUARY in which I will dwell among them.
9 Altogether as I show thee the pattern of the sanctuary,
and the pattern of all its vessels, even so shalt thou make
them.
10 And they shall make an ARK of sitta 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 shalt cover it
with pure gold within and without, and thou shalt make
a crown of gold upon it round about. 12 And thou shalt
cast for it four rings of gold, and set them upon its four
corners, two rings upon one side of it, and two rings upon
its other side. 13 And thou shalt make staves of sittin
woods, and cover them with gold, 14 and shalt insert the
staves in the rings upon the sides of the ark, that the ark
may be carried upon them. 15 In the rings of the ark shall
be the staves, they shall not be removed therefrom. 16 And
thou shalt place in the ark the Testimony that I will give
thee. 17 And thou shalt make A PROPITIATORY Of pure
gold; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a
half its breadth. 18 And thou shalt make two KERUBIN
of gold, beaten (ductile) shalt thou make them, on the
Exodus 25:19 57 Exodus 25:31
they be. 32 And six branches shall come out from its sides,
three branches of the candelabrum from one side, and
three branches of the candelabrum on the second side.
33 Three cups (calyxes) figured on one branch with apple
and lily, and three cups figured on one branch with apple
and lily, so for the six branches that come out from the
candelabrum. 34 And upon the candelabrum shall be four
cups, figurated with apples and lilies; 35 An apple under
the two branches of this, and an apple under the two
branches of that, according to the six branches that come
forth from the candelabrum. 36 Their apples and their
branches shall be of it, all beaten of pure gold. 37 And
thou shalt make its seven lights, and kindle its lights that
they may shine towards its face. 38 And its snuffers and
shovels (shall be made) of pure gold. 39 Of a talent of pure
gold shall he make it and all these vessels. 40 And look
thou, and make, according to their resemblance which
was displayed in the mount.
26
1 And thou shalt make THE TABERNACLE (of) ten
curtains of fine linen twined, and hyacinth, and purple,
and vermilion, (and) figures of kerubin, the work of the
artificer shalt thou make them. 2 The length of one
curtain twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one
curtain four cubits; the measure of all the curtains shall be
one. 3 Five curtains shall be conjoined one with another,
and five curtains conjoined one with another. 4 And thou
shalt make loops of hyacinth upon the edge of one curtain
in the side on which it is joined, and so shalt thou do on
the border of the second curtain in the side on which it
is joined. 5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain,
and fifty loops shalt thou make in the side of the curtain
which is in the place of the second coupling, that the
Exodus 26:6 59 Exodus 26:20
27
1 And thou shalt make THE ALTAR of sittin woods; five
cubits the length and five cubits the breadth; square shall
be the altar, and three cubits its height. 2 And thou shalt
make its horns upon its four corners; of the same shall be
its horns, and overlay it with brass. 3 And make its pots, to
collect the ashes, and its fireshovels, and its basins, and its
flesh-hooks, and its thuribles, all its vessels make thou of
brass. 4 And make for it a grate, a work of netting of brass,
and make upon the network four rings of brass upon its
four sides, 5 And place it under the surrounding of the
altar beneath, that the net may extend to the middle of
the altar. 6 And make thou staves for the altar, staves of
sittin wood, and overlay them with brass; 7 And he shall
put the staves into the rings, and the staves shall be at the
two sides of the altar to carry it. 8 Hollow (with) boards
make thou it, according to what was showed thee in the
mount, so do thou.
9 And thou shalt make THE COURT of the tabernacle on
the side toward the south: curtains (shall there be) for
the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits in length
on one side. 10 And its pillars twenty and their bases
twenty of brass, the hooks of the pillars and their rods of
silver. 11 And so for the north side in length (there shall
be) curtains of a hundred cubits long, and their columns
twenty and their bases twenty of brass; the hooks of the
pillars and their rods shall be of silver. 12 And on the side
Exodus 27:13 62 Exodus 28:3
28
1 And thou, bring to thee Aharon thy brother and his
sons with him from among the sons of Israel, that they
may minister before Me; Aharou, Nadab and Abihu, Elazar
and Ithamar, sons of Aharon. 2 And thou shalt make the
holy vestments for Aharon thy brother for glory and for
praise. 3 And speak thou with all the wise of heart whom I
have filled with the Spirit of wisdom, that they make the
vestments of Aharon to consecrate him to minister before
Exodus 28:4 63 Exodus 28:17
Me. 4 And these are the vestments which they shall make;
the breastplate, and the ephoda, and the robe, and the
inwrought tunic, and the mitre, and the girdle; and they
shall make holy vestments for Aharon thy brother and for
his sons to minister before Me.
5 And they shall take the gold, and the hyacinth, and
the vermilion, and the fine linen. 6 And shall make the
EPHODA of gold, hyacinth, and vermilion, and fine linen
twined, the work of the artificer. 7 Two shoulder-pieces
doubled (or, conjoined) shall it have at the two sides
conjoined. 8 And the adorned girdle thereof which is upon
it shall be of the same work, and be of gold, hyacinth,
vermilion, and fine linen twined. 9 And thou shalt take
two stones of onyx (burilla); and engrave upon them the
names of the sons of Israel. 10 Six of their names upon
the one stone, and the six names which remain upon
the second stone, according to their nativity. 11 By the
work of the artificer in precious stone the writing shall
be distinct; as the engraving of a ring, so shalt thou
engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of
Israel; inwrought in sockets of gold shalt thou make them.
12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders
of the ephod, stones of the memorial of the sons of Israel;
and Aharon shall bear their names before the Lord upon
his two shoulders for a memorial. 13 And thou shalt make
sockets of gold; 14 And two chains of pure gold enwreathed
shalt thou make of twisted work, and shalt set the twisted
chains in the sockets.
15 And thou shalt make THE BREASTPLATE OF JUDG-
MENT with the work of the artificer, like the work of the
ephod shalt thou make it, of gold, hyacinth, vermilion,
and fine linen twined shalt thou make it. 16 Square shall
it be; doubled; a span its length and a span its breadth;
17 And thou shalt fulfil in it the complement of stones:
Exodus 28:18 64 Exodus 28:30
29
1 And this is the thing which thou shalt do to them, to
consecrate them to minister before Me: Take one bullock,
the young of a bullock, and two rams unblemished; 2 And
unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mingled with
oil, and wafers unleavened which are anointed with oil; of
wheaten flour shalt thou make them. 3 And thou shalt put
them on one basket, and bring them in the basket, and the
bullock and the two rams, 4 And Aharon and his sons thou
shalt bring to the door of the tabernacle of ordinance,
and wash them with water. 5 And thou shalt take the
vestments, and dress Aharon with the tunic and the robe
of the ephod, and the ephod and the breastplate, and shalt
ordain him with the girdle of the ephod. 6 And thou shalt
set the tiara on his head, and put the diadem of Holiness
upon the tiara. 7 And thou shalt take the oil of anointing,
and pour upon his head to anoint him. 8 And thou shalt
bring his sons near, and dress them in the tunics 9 And
gird them with the girdles, Aharon and his sons; and thou
shalt set on them the mitres, and it shall be to them a
priesthood, by a perpetual statute. And thou shalt offer
the oblation for Aharon and the oblation for his sons.
10 And the bullock shalt thou offer before the taberna-
cle of ordinance. And Aharon and his sons shall lay their
hands upon the head of the bullock; 11 And thou shalt slay
the bullock before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle
of ordinance. 12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the

bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy
finger, and all the blood (that remains) thou shalt pour
out at the base of the altar. 13 And thou shalt take all the
fat which covereth the inwards, and the caul that is upon
the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is upon
them, and sacrifice them upon the altar. 14 And the flesh
of the bullock, his skin, and his dung, burn thou with fire
without the camp; it is a sin offering.
15 And thou shalt take the one ram, and Aharon and his
sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram; 16 And
thou shalt kill the ram, and take his blood, and sprinkle
upon the altar round about. 17 And the ram thou shalt
divide by his members, and shalt cleanse his inwards, and
his legs, and put them upon his members, and upon his
head, 18 and thou shalt sacrifice the ram at the altar; it is
a holocaust before the Lord, to be accepted with favour,
an oblation before the Lord.
19 And thou shalt take the second ram, and Aharon and
his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 And thou shalt kill the ram, and take of his blood, and
put it on the tip of Aharon’s ear, and upon the tip of the
right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right
hand, and upon the toe of their right foot; and thou shalt
sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. 21 And
thou shalt take of the blood which is upon the altar, and
of the oil of anointing, and drop it on Aharon and on his
vestments, and on his sons, and on the vestments of his
sons with him, and he shall be consecrated, he and his
vestments, and his sons, and the vestments of his sons
with him.
22 And thou shalt take of the ram, the fat, and the tall,
and the fat which covereth the inwards, and the caul
which is on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat
which is on them, and the right shoulder, for it is a ram
for oblation; 23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of
Exodus 29:24 68 Exodus 29:34
bread (with) oil, and one wafer from the basket of the
unleavened ones which is before the Lord: 24 And put thou
all upon the hands of Aharon and upon the hands of his
sons, and uplift them for an elevation before the Lord;
25 And take them from their hands, and offer them at the
altar upon the burnt offering, that they may be received
with acceptance before the Lord; it is an oblation before
the Lord.
26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aharon’s
oblations, and uplift it, an elevation before the Lord; and
it shall be thy portion. 27 And thou shalt consecrate the
breast of the elevation and the shoulder of separation
which is uplifted and which is separated of the oblation-
ram of Aharon and that of his sons; 28 And it shall be
for Aharon and for his sons by a perpetual statute for
the sons of Israel, because it is a thing separated. And a
separation shall be (taken) from the sons of Israel of their
consecrated sacrifices, (even) their separation before the
Lord.
29 And the sacred garments of Aharon shall be his sons’
after him, to be anointed in them, (and) in them to offer
their oblations. 30 Seven days shall the priest wear them,
who of his sons (is to be anointed) instead of him, and who
shall enter into the tabernacle of ordinance to minister in
the sanctuary.
31 And the ram of the oblations thou shalt take, and
boil his flesh in the holy place. 32 And Aharon and his
sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is
on the basket at the door of the tabernacle of ordinance.
33 And they may eat those things by which propitiation is
made in offering them as oblations to consecrate them;
but an alien may not eat, because they are sacred. 34 And
if any (part) of the flesh of the oblations or of the bread

1 And thou shalt make an altar upon which to burn
fragrant incense, of woods of sittin shalt thou make it. 2 A
cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth, four-square shall
it be, and two cubits its height. The horns of it shall be
of the same. 3 And thou shalt cover it with fine gold, its
top and its sides round about, and its horns. And thou
shalt make to it a crown of gold round about, 4 And two
rings of gold shalt thou make to it under its crown, upon
its top corners, at its two sides and it shall be for the
places of the staves by which to carry it. 5 And thou shalt
make the staves of sittin woods, and cover them with gold.
6 And thou shalt place it before the veil which is over the
ark of the testimony before the mercy seat which is over
the testimony, where I will appoint My Word to be with
thee. 7 And Aharon shall burn thereon fragrant incense
from morning to morning, when he setteth the lamps
in order he shall burn it. 8 And when Aharon kindleth
the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn fragrant
incense continually before the Lord in your generations.
9 You shall not offer upon it incense of strange perfumes,
nor holocaust, nor mincha, nor pour any libation upon it.
10 And Aharon shall atone upon its horns once in the year
with the blood of the sin offering of the atonement, once
in the year shall he atone upon it, unto your generations.
It is holy of holiness before the Lord.
11 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying, 12 When
thou takest the account of the sons of Israel according
to their number, they shall give every man a ransom for
his soul before the Lord, when thou numberest them,
that there may not be death among them when thou
numberest them. 13 This they shall give: everyone who
cometh over to the adnumberment, a half shekel, of the
Exodus 30:14 71 Exodus 30:25

1 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying, 2 Behold,
I have named by name Bezalel bar Uri bar Hur, of the
tribe of Jehudah, 3 And have fulfilled him with the spirit
of prophecy from before the Lord, with wisdom and
Exodus 31:4 73 Exodus 31:17
the sons of Israel it is a sign forever for in six days the Lord
made the heavens and the earth; and in the seventh day
rested and was refreshed.
18 And He gave to Mosheh, when He had finished
to speak with him on Mount Sinai, two tablets of the
testimony, tablets of stone inscribed with the finger of
the Lord.
32
1 But the people saw that Mosheh delayed to come
down from the Mount; and the people gathered together
unto Aharon, and said to him, Arise, make us gods
(dachalan, pl. objects to be venerated) that may proceed
before us; for this Mosheh, the man who brought us up
from the land of Mizraim, we know not what hath been
to him. 2 And Aharon said to them, Take off the golden
ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons,
and your daughters, and bring them to me. 3 And all the
people took off the golden rings which were in their ears
and brought them unto Aharon. 4 And he took them from
their hands, and formed it with a graver, and made it a
molten calf. And they said, These are thy gods, Israel,
which brought thee up from the land of Mizraim. 5 And
Aharon saw, and builded an altar before it; and Aharon
proclaimed and said, A feast shall be held before the Lord
tomorrow. 6 And they arose next day, and sacrificed burnt
offerings and offered oblations; and the people sat around
to eat and drink, and rose up to disport.
7 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, Go, descend, for
thy people whom thou broughtest up from the land of
Mizraim have corrupted themselves; 8 They have quickly
warped from the way which I had taught them; they
have made a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and
sacrificed unto it and have said, These are thy gods, Israel,
Exodus 32:9 75 Exodus 32:19
33
1 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Go, descend from hence,
thou and the people thou hast brought up from the land
of Mizraim, unto the land which I have covenanted unto
Abraham, to Izhak, and to Jakob, saying, To thy sons will
I give it. 2 Arid I will send My Angel before thee, and will
drive oat the Kenaanaee, the Amoraee, and Hittaee, and
the Pherizaee, the Hivaee, and the Jebusaee; 3 to the land
producing milk and honey: for My Shekinah shall not go
up among you, because thou art a hard-necked people,
lest I destroy thee in the way.
4 And the people heard these words of evil, and
lamented, and no man put on his usual ornaments. 5 And
the Lord said to Mosheh, Say to the children of Israel, Ye
are a hard-necked people; if one hour My Shekinah go up
among thee, I should destroy thee. And now take off thy
garnishing from thee, and it will appear before me what
I shall do with thee. 6 Arid the children of Israel removed
their usual ornaments (on their return) from the mount
of Horeb.

earth?
17 And the Lord said to Mosheh, This thing that thou
hast spoken will I do, because thou hast found mercy
before Me, and I have ordained thee by name. 18 And
he said, Show me, I pray, Thy Glory! 19 And He said, I
will make all My Goodness pass before thy face, and I will
proclaim the Name of the Lord before thee, and I will be
gracious to whom I will be gracious, and have mercy on
whom I will have mercy. 20 And He said, Thou canst not
see the Face of My Shekinah; for no man can see Me and
abide alive. 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place
prepared before Me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock,
22 and it shall be, when My Glory passeth, I will put thee
in a cavern of the rock, and My Word shall overshadow
thee until I have passed; 23 And I will take away the Word
(dibberath) of My Glory, and thou shalt see that which is
after Me, but My Aspect shall not be seen.
34
1 And the Lord said to Mosheh, Hew thee two tablets of
stone as the first ones, and I will write upon the tablets
the words that were upon the former tablets which thou
hast broken. 2 And be ready in the morning, and go up
at morn to Mount Sinai, and stand there before Me on
the summit of the mountain. 3 Let no man ascend with
thee; let no man be seen upon all the mountain, nor sheep
nor oxen be grazing upon the mountain. 4 And hew two
tablets of stone like the former ones. And Mosheh arose
in the morning, and ascended Mount Sinai, as the Lord
had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of
stone. 5 And the Lord was revealed in the Cloud, and He
stood with him there, and He proclaimed the Name of the
Lord. 6 And the Lord made His Shekinah pass before his
face; and he proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord God, Merciful
Exodus 34:7 80 Exodus 34:16

1 And Mosheli assembled all the congregation of the
sons of Israel, and said to them, These are the things
which the Lord hath commanded you to do. 2 Six days
thou shalt do work, but the seventh day (is) a holy rest,
the Sabbath before the Lord: everyone who doeth work
thereon shall be put to death. 3 You may not kindle a fire
in all your dwellings on the day of the Sabbath.
4 And Mosheh spake to all the congregation of the
sons of Israel, saying, 5 Take from you a separation
(aphrashutha) before the Lord of everyone whose heart
may be willing; let him bring the separation before the
Lord: gold, and silver, and brass, 6 And hyacinth, and
crimson, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goat’s hair,
Exodus 35:7 83 Exodus 35:23
7 and ram’s skin dyed red, and purple skins, and sittin
woods; 8 And oil for the illuminator, and aromatics for
the anointing oil, and for the sweet perfumes; 9 And onyx
stones and complete stones for insetting in the ephod and
in the breastplate.
10 And all the wise-hearted among you shall come
and make all that the Lord hath commanded: 11 The
tabernacle, its tent and its coverings, its hasps, its boards,
its bars, its pillars, and its bases. 12 The ark, and its staves,
the mercy seat, and the veil that shall be spread; 13 The
table, and its staves, and all its vessels; and the bread
of the Presence, 14 and the candelabrum for light, and
its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for illumination.
15 And the altar of sweet incense, and its staves, and the
oil of anointing, and the incense of perfumes, and the
curtain of the door of the tabernacle. 16 The altar of
burnt offering, and its brasen grate, its staves, and all
its vessels; the laver and its base. 17 The curtains of the
court, and its pillars, and its bases, and the hanging of the
gate of the court. 18 The nails of the tabernacle, and the
nails of the court and their cordings. 19 The vestments
of ministration for ministering in the sanctuary, the holy
vestments of Aharon the priest, and the vestments of his
sons for ministration.
20 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel went
forth from before Mosheh. 21 And they came, every man
who was led by his heart, and everyone whose spirit was
ample, and brought their separation before the Lord, for
the work of the tabernacle of ordinance, and for all its
service, and for the holy vestments. 22 And they came, the
men with the women, everyone who was willing of heart,
and brought chains, and bracelets, and rings, and bands,
all of gold. 23 And every man who uplifted an offering
of gold before the Lord, and every man with whom was
Exodus 35:24 84 Exodus 35:35
36
1 And Bezalel and Ahaliab, with every man wise in
heart, to whom the Lord had given wisdom and intelli-
gence to know how to make each work for the service of
the sanctuary, wrought (according) to all that the Lord
had commanded.
2 And Mosheh called Bezalel and Ahaliab, and every
man wise in heart, to whose heart the Lord had given
wisdom, everyone whose heart was led to draw near and
do the work itself. 3 And they took from Mosheh all the
separation which the children of Israel had brought for
the work of the service of the sanctuary to make it. And
they still brought to him votive offerings from morning to
morning. 4 And all the wise men who wrought all the work
of the sanctuary came, each man from his work which
they had wrought. 5 And they spake with Mosheh, saying,
The people abound in bringing more than is needed for
the work which the Lord hath commanded to make. 6 And
Mosheh ordered, and they made publication in the camp,
saying, Let no man or woman make any more work of the
separation for the sanctuary: and the people ceased to
bring. 7 For what had been done was sufficient for all the
work to be wrought, and more than enough.
8 And all the wise-hearted of them who did the work
of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine linen, and hy-
acinth, and purple, and crimson, (with) forms of kerubin
the work of the embroiderer he made them. 9 The length
of one curtain twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth
of the curtain four cubits; there was one measure for all
the curtains.
10 And he conjoined five curtains one with another,
and five curtains conjoined he one with another. 11 And
he made loopings of hyacinth upon the border of one
curtain at the edge of the place of conjunction; so made
Exodus 36:12 86 Exodus 36:28
37
1 And Bezalel made the ARK of sittin woods; two cubits
and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and
a cubit and a half its height. 2 And he covered it with pure
gold within and without, and made for it a wreath of gold
round about. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold upon
its four corners, two rings on one of it, and two rings on
the second side. 4 And he made staves of sittin wood, and
covered them with gold. 5 And he introduced the staves
Exodus 37:6 88 Exodus 37:19
into the rings on the sides of the ark, for carrying the ark.
6 And he made the MERCY SEAT of pure gold; two cubits
and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
7 And he made two kerubim, of beaten gold he made them,
at the two sides of the mercy seat. 8 One keruba on this
side, and one keruba on that side of the mercy seat; he
made the kerubaia from its two sides. 9 And the kerubaia
spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy
seat with their wings; and their faces were one towards
the other, over against the mercy seat were the faces of
the kerubaia.
10 And he made the TABLE of sittin woods; two cubits
its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half
its height. 11 And he covered it with pure gold, and made
for it a golden crown round about, 12 And made for it a
rim its height a span, round about; and he made a crown
of gold for its rim round about. 13 And he cast for it four
golden rings, and set the rings upon the four corners of
its four feet. 14 Over against the rim were the rings to
be the place of the staves for carrying the table. 15 [no
translation*] 16 And he made the vessels which were to be
upon the table; its dishes, and its vases, and its measures,
and the cups with which (the libations) are outpoured, of
pure gold.
17 And he made the CANDELABRUM of pure gold,
beaten made he the candelabrum, its rest, its shaft, its
cups, its apples, and its lilies were of the same. 18 And
six branchlets proceeded from its sides; three branchlets
of the candelabrum on one side, and three branchlets
of the candelabrum on the second side. 19 Three cups
figurated on one branchlet, an apple, and a lily: so the
six branchlets which proceeded from the candelabrum.
* 37:15 Etheridge, p. 432.
Exodus 37:20 89 Exodus 38:7
20 And on the candelabrum four cups figurated, its apples
and its lilies. 21 An apple under two branchlets of the
same, and an apple under two branchlets of the same,
and an apple under two branchlets of the same, for the
six branchlets that proceeded from it. 22 Their apples and
their branches were of the same, all of one beaten work
of pure gold. 23 And he made its seven lamps, and its
snuffers, and its receivers of pure gold; 24 of a talent of
pure gold made he, it, and all its vessels.
25 And he made the ALTAR OF SWEET INCENSE of
sittin wood; its length a cubit, and a cubit its breadth,
foursquare. And two cubits the height of it; of the same
were its horns. 26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, its top
and its sides round about, and its horns: and he made for
it a golden crown round about. 27 And two rings of gold
made he for it under its crown, upon its two sides, the
place for the staves by which to carry it. 28 And he made
the staves of sittin wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the oil for holy anointment, and the
pure sweet incense, the work of the perfumer.
38
1 And be made the ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING of sittin
wood; five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth,
four-square, and three cubits its height. 2 And he made its
horns upon its four corners, of the same were its horns,
and he coated it with brass. 3 And he made all the vessels
of the altar, the caldrons, and the cleaners, and the basins,
and the fleshhooks, and the receivers; all its vessels made
he of brass. 4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate
of network, under its border beneath, (reaching) unto its
middle. 5 And he cast four rings for the four corners of the
brasen grate, the place for the staves. 6 And he made the
staves of sittin wood, and overlaid them with brass. 7 And
Exodus 38:8 90 Exodus 38:20
he put the staves into the rings upon the sides of the altar
by which to carry it; hollow with boards he made it.
8 And be made the LAVER of brass, and its base of brass,
of the mirrors of the women who come to pray at the door
of the tabernacle of ordinance.
9 And he made the court, the southern side of which
was of hangings for the court, of fine linen twined, of a
hundred cubits; 10 Their pillars twenty, and their sockets
twenty, of brass; the hooks, pillars, and their uniting rods
of silver. 11 And for the northern side (hangings) of a
hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets
twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their uniting
rods of silver. 12 And for the western side, curtains, fifty
cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks
of the pillars and their uniting rods of silver. 13 And on
the eastern side, eastward, fifty cubits. 14 The hangings
fifteen cubits on (one) side (of the gate), their pillars
three, and their bases three. 15 And on the second side
of the gate of the court, here and there, hangings, fifteen
cubits; their pillars three, and their bases three. 16 All
the hangings of the court round about were of fine linen
twined. 17 And the bases of the pillars were of brass, the
hooks, pillars, and their uniting rods of silver, and the
overlaying of their heads was of silver, and there were
uniting rods of silver for all the pillars of the court. 18 And
the veil for the gate of the court was the work of the
embroiderer, hyacinth, and purple, and crimson, and fine
linen; and twenty cubits was its length, and the height,
in the breadth five cubits, according (to the height of)
the curtains of the court. 19 And their pillars four, and
their bases four, of brass, and their hooks silver, and the
overlaying of their head and their uniting rods, silver.
20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court
round about, were of brass.
Exodus 38:21 91 Exodus 38:31
21 These are the admeasurements of the Tabernacle,
the Tabernacle of the Testimony, as they were numbered
upon the word of Mosheh: the service of the Levites by
the hand of Ithamar bar Aharon the priest. 22 And Bezalel
bar Uri bar Hur of the tribe of Jehudah made all that
the Lord commanded Mosheh. 23 And with him Ahaliab
bar Achisamak, of the tribe of Dan, a woodworker, and
artificer, and embroiderer in hyacinth, and in purple, and
in crimson, and in fine linen.
24 And all the gold which was used in making all the
work of the sanctuary, and which had been a separation
(thereunto), was twenty and nine talents, and seven
hundred and thirty shekels, of the shekels of the sanctuary.
25 And the silver of the numbered ones of the congrega-
tion was a hundred talents, and a thousand and seven
hundred and seventy and five shekels, in the shekels of the
sanctuary. 26 The weight was (appointed) by capitation; a
half shekel, in the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone
who passed to the adnumberments from twenty years
(old) and upward, for six hundred and three thousand and
five hundred and fifty men. 27 And the hundred talents of
silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary, and the
bases of the veil (or tent), a hundred bases with a hundred
talents, a talent for a base. 28 And with the thousand
and seven hundred and seventy and five (shekels) he made
the hooks for the pillars, and covered their capitals, and
made their uniting rods. 29 And the brass of the oblation
was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred
shekels. 30 And with it he made the bases of the door of
the Tabernacle of Ordinance, and the altar of brass, and
the brasen grate which pertained to it, and all the vessels
of the altar; 31 And the bases of the court round about, and
the bases of the door of the court, and all the pins of the
tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

1 And of the hyacinth, and purple, and crimson, they
made the vestments of ministration to minister in the
sanctuary, and they made the holy vestments of Aharon,
as the Lord commanded Mosheh.
2 And he made the ephoda of gold, hyacinth, and
purple, and crimson, and fine linen twined. 3 And they
beat out the plates of gold, and cut (them) into threads, to
insert into the hyacinth, and the purple, and the crimson,
and the fine linen, the work of the artificer. 4 Shoulder-
pieces made they for it, conjoined; at the two sides were
they conjoined. 5 And the band of its fastening which is
upon it was of the same according to its work, of gold,
hyacinth, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen twined,
as the Lord had commanded Mosheh.
6 And they wrought the onyx stones, inset in sockets
of gold, engraven in distinct writing, with the names of
the sons of Israel. 7 And he set them upon the shoulders
of the ephoda, stones of memorial of the sons of Israel, as
the Lord commanded Mosheh.
8 And he made the BREASTPLATE (chushena), the work
of the artificer, according to the work of the ephoda, of
gold, hyacinth, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen
twined. 9 Foursquare was it, doubled made they the
breastplate; a span its length, and a span its breadth,
doubled. 10 And they filled it with four rows of precious
stones: the first row carnelian, topaz, and carbuncle, row
one; 11 The second row, smaragud, sapphire, and emerald;
12 And the third row, jacinth, agate, and amethyst; 13 And
the fourth row, chrysolite, beryl, and jasper: they were
set in sockets of gold, in their infillings. 14 And the
stones were according to the names of the sons of Israel,
twelve, according to their names, written distinctly, as
the engraving of a ring, each according to his name for
Exodus 39:15 93 Exodus 39:28
fine linen, and the mitres of beauty of fine linen; and the
drawers of linen, of fine linen twined. 29 And the girdle of
fine linen twined, and hyacinth and purple and crimson,
the work of the embroiderer, as the Lord commanded
Mosheh.
30 And they made the plate of the diadem of holiness of
pure gold, and wrote upon it as the engraving of a ring in
distinct writing, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD. 31 And they
put upon it a ribbon of hyacinth, that it might be upon the
tiara above, as the Lord commanded Mosheh.
32 Arid completed was all the work of the tabernacle,
the tabernacle of ordinance; and the sons of Israel did
according to all that the Lord had commanded Mosheh,
so did they. 33 And they brought the tabernacle to
Mosheh, the tabernacle and all its vessels, its taches, its
boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases. 34 And the
covering of rams’ skins reddened, and the covering of
purple skins, and the veil for the hanging; 35 And the ark
of the testimony and its staves, and the mercy seat; 36 The
table and all its vessels, and the bread of the Presence;
37 The pure candelabrum and its lamps, the lamps of
order, and all its vessels; and the oil for the light 38 And the
golden altar, and the oil of consecration, and the sweet
incense; and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle;
39 And the brasen altar and the brasen grate for it; its
staves and all its vessels; and the laver and its base, 40 the
hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the
veil for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pins, and
all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the
tabernacle of ordinance; 41 The vestments of ministration
to minister in the sanctuary, and the holy vestments
of Aharon the priest, and the vestments of his sons to
minister: 42 According to all that the Lord commanded
Mosheh, so made the sons of Israel all the service. 43 And
Exodus 40:1 95 Exodus 40:15
Mosheh surveyed all the work, and, behold, they had done
it as the Lord had commanded, so had they done; and
Mosheh blessed them.
40
1And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying, 2 In the
day of the first month, in the first of the month, thou
shalt uprear the tabernacle, the tabernacle of ordinance.
3 And thou shalt set there the ark of the testimony, and
outspread the veil before the ark; 4 And thou shalt bring in
the table, and arrange the order thereof. And thou shalt
bring in the candelabrum, and kindle its lamps. 5 And
thou shalt put the golden altar of sweet incense before
the ark of the testimony, and set the veil of the door of
the tabernacle. 6 And thou shalt put the altar of burnt
offering before the door of the tabernacle, the tabernacle
of ordinance. 7 And thou shalt place the laver between
the tabernacle of ordinance and the altar, and put water
therein. 8 And thou shalt set the court round about, and
put the hanging at the gate of the court. 9 And thou shalt
take the oil of consecration, and anoint the tabernacle
and all that is therein, and sanctify it, and all its vessels,
and it shall be holy. 10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of
burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar;
and it shall be an altar most holy. 11 And thou shalt anoint
