The 29th Chapter
This is the thing that thou
shalt do unto them when thou hallowest them to be my priests. Take
one ox and two rams that are without blemish, and unleavened bread
and cakes of sweet bread tempered with oil and wafers of sweet bread
anointed with oil (of wheaten flour shalt thou make them) and put
them in a *maund and bring them in the maund with the oil and the
two rams.
And bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle
of witness, and wash them with water, and take the garments, and put
upon Aaron: the strait coat, and the tunicle of the Ephod, and the
Ephod and the breastlap: and gird them to him with the broidered
girdle of the Ephod. And put the mitre upon his head and put the
holy crown upon the mitre. Then take the anointing oil and pour it
upon his head and anoint him. And bring his sons and put *albes upon
them, and gird them with girdles: as well Aaron as his sons. And put
the bonnets on them that the priests office may be theirs for a
perpetual law.
And fill the hands of Aaron and of his sons, and bring the ox
before the tabernacle of witness. And let Aaron and his sons put
their hands upon his head and kill him before the Lord in the door
of the tabernacle of witness. And take of the blood of the ox and
put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger and pour all the
blood upon the bottom of the altar, and take all the fat that
covereth the inwards, and the caul that is on the liver, and the two
kidneys with the fat that is upon them: and burn them upon the
altar. But the flesh of the ox and his skin and his dung, shalt thou
burn with fire, without the host. For it is a sin offering.
Then take one of the rams, and let Aaron and his sons put
their hands upon the head of the ram, and cause him to be slain, and
take of his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar, and
cut the ram in pieces and wash the inwards of him and his legs, and
put them unto the pieces and unto his head, and burn the whole ram
upon the altar. For it is a burnt offering unto the Lord, and a
sweet savour of the Lords sacrifice.
And take the other ram and let Aaron and his sons, put their
hands upon his head and let him then be killed. And take of his
blood and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and of his
sons, and upon the thumb of their right hands, and upon the great
toe of their right feet and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round
about.
Then take of the blood that is upon the altar and of the
anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and his vestments, and
upon his sons and upon their garments also. Then is he and his
clothes holy and his sons and their clothes holy also.
Then take the fat of the ram and his rump and the fat that
covereth the inwards and the caul of the liver and the two kidneys,
and the fat that is upon them and the right shoulder (for that ram
is a full offering) and a *simnel of bread and a cake of oiled bread
and a wafer out of the basket of sweet bread that is before the
Lord, and put all upon the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his
sons: and wave them in and out a wave offering unto the Lord. Then
take it from off their hands and burn it upon the altar: even upon
the burnt offering, to be a savour of sweetness before the Lord. For
it is a sacrifice unto the Lord. Then take the breast of the ram
that is Aarons full offering and wave it a wave offering before the
Lord, and let that be thy part. And sanctify the breast of the wave
offering and the shoulder of the heave offering which is waved and
heaved up of the ram which is the full offering of Aaron and of his
sons. And it shall be Aarons and his sons duty for ever, of the
children of Israel, for it is an heave offering. And the heave
offering shall be the Lords duty of the children of Israel: even of
the sacrifice of their peace offerings which they heave unto the
Lord. And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons after him, to
anoint them therein, and to fill their hands therein. And that son
that is priest in his stead after him, shall put them on seven days:
that he go into the tabernacle of witness, to minister in the holy
place.
Then take the ram that is the full offering and seethe his
flesh in an holy place. And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh
of him, and the bread that is in the basket: even in the door of the
tabernacle of witness. And they shall eat them, because the
atonement was made therewith to fill their hands and to sanctify
them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.
If ought of the flesh of the full offerings or of the bread
remain unto the morning, thou shalt burn it with fire: for it shall
not be eaten, because it is holy. And see thou do unto Aaron and his
sons, even so in all things as I have commanded thee: that thou fill
their hands seven days and offer every day an ox for a sin offering
for to reconcile with all. And thou shalt hallow the altar when thou
reconcilest it, and shalt anoint it to sanctify it. Seven days thou
shalt reconcile the altar and sanctify it, that it may be an altar
most holy: so that no man may touch it but they that be consecrate.
This is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs
of one year old day by day for ever, the one thou shalt offer in the
morning and the other at even. And unto the one lamb take a tenth
deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil,
and the fourth part of an hin of wine, for a drink offering. And the
other lamb thou shalt offer at even and shalt do thereto according
to the meat offering and drink offering in the morning, to be an
odour of a sweet savour of the sacrifice of the Lord. And it shall
be a continual burnt offering among your children after you, in the
door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord, where I will meet
you to speak unto you there. There I will meet with the children of
Israel, and will be sanctified in mine honor. And I will sanctify
the tabernacle of witness and the altar: and I will sanctify also
both Aaron and his sons to be my priests. And moreover I will dwell
among the children of Israel and will be their God. And they shall
know that I am the Lord their God that brought them out of the land
of Egypt for to dwell among them: even I the Lord their God.

The 30th Chapter
And thou shalt make an altar to
burn cense therein, of sethim wood: a cubit long, and a cubit broad,
even foursquare shall it be and two cubits, high: with horns
proceeding out of it, and thou shalt overlay it with fine gold both
the roof and the walls round about, and his horns also, and shalt
make unto it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings on
either side, even under the crown, to put staves therein for to bear
it withal. And thou shalt make the staves of sethim wood and cover
them with gold. And thou shalt put it before the veil that hangeth
before the ark of witness, and before the mercy seat that is before
the witness, where I will meet thee.
And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet cense every morning when he
dresseth the lamps: and likewise at even when he setteth up the
lamps he shall burn cense perpetually before the Lord throughout
your generations. Ye shall put no strange cense thereon, neither
burnt sacrifice nor meat offering, neither pour any drink offering
thereon.
And Aaron shall reconcile his horns once in a year, with the
blood of the sin offering of reconciling: even once in the year
shall he reconcile it through your generations. And so is it most
holy unto the Lord.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: when thou takest the sum
of the children of Israel and tellest them, they shall give every
man a reconciling of his soul unto the Lord, that there be no plague
among them when thou tellest them. And thus much shall every man
give that goeth in the number: half a sickle, after the holy sickle:
a sickle is twenty geras: and an half sickle shall be the heave
offering unto the Lord. And all that are numbered of them that are
twenty years old and above shall give an heave offering unto the
Lord. The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not go under half
a sickle, when they give an heave offering unto the Lord for the
atonement of their souls. And thou shalt take the reconciling money
of the children of Israel and shalt put it unto the use of the
tabernacle of witness, and it shall be a memorial of the children of
Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for their souls.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: thou shalt make a *laver
of brass and his foot also of brass to wash withal, and shalt put it
between the tabernacle of witness and the altar and put water
therein: that Aaron and his sons may wash both their hands and their
feet therout, when they go into the tabernacle of witness, or when
they go unto the altar to minister and to burn the Lords offering,
lest they die. And it shall be an ordinance for ever unto him and
his seed among your children after you.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: take principal spices:
of pure myrrh five hundred sickles, of sweet cinnamon half so much,
two hundred and fifty sickles: of sweet calamite, two hundred and
fifty. Of cassia, two hundred and fifty after the holy sickle, and
of oil olive an hin. And make of them holy anointing oil even an oil
compound after the craft of the apothecary. And anoint the
tabernacle of witness therewith, and the ark of witness, and the
table with all his apparel, and the candlestick with all his
ordinance, and the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt
sacrifice and all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. And *sacrify
them that they may be most holy: so that no man touch them but they
that be hallowed. And anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them
to minister unto me.
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel saying: this
shall be an holy anointing oil unto me, throughout your generations.
No mans flesh shall be anointed therewith: neither shall ye make any
other after the making of it for it is holy, see therefore that ye
take it for holy: Whosoever maketh like that, or whosoever putteth
any of it upon a stranger, shall perish from among his people.
And the Lord said unto Moses: take unto thee sweet spices:
stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum and pure frankincense, of each like
much: and make cense of them compounded after the craft of the
apothecary, mingled together, that it may be made pure and holy. And
beat it to powder and put it before the witness in the tabernacle of
witness, where I will meet thee, but let it be unto you holy. And
see that ye make none after the making of that, but let it be unto
you holy for the Lord. And whosoever shall make like unto that, to
smell thereto, shall perish from among his people.
*laver (wash basin) *sacrify:
make shallow cuts in the skin.

The 31st Chapter
And the Lord spake unto Moses
saying: behold, I have called by name, Bezaleel the son of Uri son
to Hur of the tribe of Juda. And I have filled him with the spirit
of God, with wisdom, understanding and knowledge: even in all manner
work, to find out subtle feats, to work in gold, silver and brass
and with the craft to *grave stones, to set and to carve in timber,
and to work in all manner workmanship. And behold, I have given him
to be his companion Ahaliab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of
Dan, and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put
wisdom to make all that I have commanded thee: the tabernacle of
witness, and the ark of witness, and the mercy seat that is there
upon all the ornaments of the tabernacle, and the table with his
ordinance, and the pure candlestick with all his apparel, and the
altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offerings with all his
vessels, and the laver with his foot, and the vestments to minister
in, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of
his sons to minister in, and the anointing oil and the sweet cense
for the sanctuary: according to all as I have commanded thee shall
they do.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the children
of Israel and say: in any wise see that ye keep my Sabbath, for it
shall be a sign between me and you in your generations for to know,
that I the Lord do sanctify you. Keep my Sabbath therefore, that it
be an holy thing unto you. He that defileth it, shall be slain
therefore. For whosoever worketh therein, the same soul shall be
rooted out from among his people. Six days shall men work, but the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the holy rest of the Lord: so that
whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, shall die for it.
Wherefore let the children of Israel keep the Sabbath, that they
observe it throughout their generations, that it be an appointment
for ever. For it shall be a sign between me, and the children of
Israel for ever. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and
the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
And when he had made an end of communing with Moses upon the
mount Sinai, he gave him two tables of witness: which were of stone
and written with the finger of God.

The 32nd Chapter
And when the people saw that it
was long or Moses came down out of the mountain, they gathered
themselves together and came unto Aaron and said unto him. Up and
make us a god to go before us: for of this Moses the fellow that
brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become.
And Aaron said unto them: pluck off the golden earrings which
are in the ears of your wives, your sons and of your daughters: and
bring them unto me. And all the people plucked off the golden
earrings that were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. And
he received them of their hands and fashioned it with a graver and
made it a calf of molten metal. And they said: This is thy God, O
Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
And when Aaron saw that, he made an altar before it, and made
a proclamation saying tomorrow shall be holy day unto the Lord. And
they rose up in the morning and offered burnt offerings, and brought
offerings of atonement also. And then they sat them down to eat and
drink, and rose up again to play.
Then the Lord said unto Moses: go get thee down, for thy
people which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have marred
all, they are turned at once out of the way which I commanded them:
and have made them a calf of molten metal, and have worshiped it and
have offered thereto and have said: This is thy God thou Israel,
which hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt. And the Lord said
unto Moses: behold, I see this people, that it is a stiffnecked
people, and now therefore suffer me that my wrath may wax hot upon
them, and that I may consume them: and then will I make of thee a
mighty people.
Then Moses besought the Lord his God and said: O Lord, why
should thy wrath wax hot upon thy people which thou hast brought out
of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
wherefore should the Egyptians speak and say: For a mischief did he
bring them out: even for to slay them in the mountains, and to
consume them from the face of the earth. Turn from thy fierce wrath,
and have compassion over the wickedness of thy people. Remember
Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by
thine own self and saidest unto them: I will multiply your seed as
the stars of heaven, and all this land which I have said, I will
give unto your seed: and they shall inherit it for ever. And the
Lord refrained himself from that evil, which he said he would do
unto his people.
And Moses turned his back and went down from the hill, and the
two tables of witness in his hand: which were written on both the
leaves and were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of
God graven upon the tables. And when Josua heard the noise of the
people as they shouted, he said unto Moses: there is a noise of war
in the host. And he said: it is not the cry of them that have the
mastery, nor of them that have the worse: but I do hear the noise of
singing.
And as soon as he came nigh unto the host and saw the calf and
the dancing, his wrath waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his
hand, and brake them even at the hill foot. And the took the calf
which they had made and burned it with fire, and stamped it unto
powder and strewed it in the water, and made the children of Israel
drink. And then Moses said unto Aaron: what did this people unto
thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
And Aaron said: let not the wrath of my Lord wax fierce, thou
knowest the people that they are even set on mischief: they said
unto me: make us a god to go before us, for we know not what is
become of Moses the fellow that brought us out of the land of Egypt.
And I said unto them: let them that have gold, take and bring it me:
and I cast it into the fire, and thereof came out this calf.
When Moses saw that the people were naked (for Aaron had made
them naked unto their shame when they made insurrection) he went and
stood in the gate of the host and said: If any man pertain unto the
Lord, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together: and came unto him. And be said unto them, thus
saith the Lord of Israel, put every man his sword by his side, and
go in and out from gate to gate throughout the host: and slay every
man his brother, every man his friend and every man his neighbor.
And the children of Levi did as Moses had said. And there were slain
of the people the same day, about three thousand men. Then Moses
said: fill your hands unto the Lord this day, every man upon his son
and upon his brother: to bring upon you a blessing this day.
And on the morrow, Moses said unto the people: Ye have sinned
a great sin. But now I will go up unto the Lord, to know whether I
can make an atonement for your sin.
And Moses went again unto the Lord and said: Oh, this people
have sinned a great sin and have made them a god of gold: Yet
forgive them their sin I pray thee: If not wipe me out of thy book
which thou hast written. And the Lord said unto Moses: I will put
him out of my book that hath sinned against me. But go and bring the
people unto the land which I said unto thee: behold, mine angel
shall go before thee. Neverthelater in the day when I visit, I will
visit their sin upon them. And the Lord plagued the people, because
they made the calf which Aaron made.

The 33rd Chapter
And the Lord said
unto Moses: depart and go hence: both thou and the people which thou
hast brought out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore
unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying: unto thy seed I will give it.
And I will send an angel before thee, and will cast out the
Cananites, the Amorites, the Hethites, the Pherezites, the Hevites,
and the Jebusites: that thou mayst go in to a land that floweth with
milk and honey. But I will not go among you myself, for ye are a
stiffnecked people: lest I consume you by the way. And when the
people heard this evil tidings, they sorrowed: and no man did put on
his best raiment.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, say unto the children of
Israel: ye are a stiffnecked people: I must come once suddenly upon
you, and make an end of you. But now put your goodly raiment from
you, that I may know what to do unto you. And the children of Israel
laid their goodly raiment from them even under the mount Horeb.
And Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it without the host,
afar off from the host, and called it the tabernacle of witness. And
all that would ask any question of the Lord, went out unto the
tabernacle of witness which was without the host. And when Moses
went out unto the tabernacle, all the people rose up and stood every
man in his tent door and looked after Moses, until he was gone in to
the tabernacle. And as soon as Moses was entered into the
tabernacle, the clouded pillar descended and stood in the door of
the tabernacle, and he talked with Moses. And when all the people
saw the clouded pillar stand in the tabernacle door, they rose up
and worshiped: every man in his tent door.
And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh
unto his friend. And when Moses turned again in to the host, the lad
Josua his servant the son of Nun departed not out of the tabernacle.
And Moses said unto the Lord: see, thou saidest unto me: lead this
people forth, but thou showest me not whom thou wilt send with me.
And hast said moreover: I know thee by name and thou hast also found
grace in my sight: Now therefore, if I have found favour in thy
sight, then show me thy way and let me know thee: that I may find
grace in thy sight. And look on this also, how that this nation is
thy people.
And he said: my presence shall go with thee, and I will give
thee rest. And he said: If thy presence go not with me, carry us not
hence, for how shall it be known now that both I and thy people have
found favour in thy sight, but in that thou goest with us: that both
I and thy people have a preeminence before all the people that are
upon the face of the earth. And the Lord said unto Moses: I will do
this also that thou hast said, for thou hast found grace in my
sight, and I know thee by name.
And he said: I beseech thee, shew me thy glory: And he said: I
will make all my good go before thee, and I will be called in this
name Jehovah before thee, and will shew mercy to whom I shew mercy,
and will have compassion on whom I have compassion. And he said
furthermore: thou mayst not see my face, for there shall no man no
man see me and live.
And the Lord said: behold, there is a place by me, and thou
shalt stand upon a rock, and while my glory goeth forth I will put
thee in a cleft of the rock, and will put mine hand upon thee while
I pass by. And then I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see
my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

The 34th Chapter
And the Lord said unto Moses:
hew the two tables of stone like unto the first that I may write in
them the words which were in the first two tables, which thou
brakest. And be ready against the morning that thou mayst come up
early unto the mount of Sinai and stand me there upon the top of the
mount. But let no man come up with thee, neither let any man be seen
throughout all the mount, neither let sheep nor oxen feed before the
hill.
And Moses hewed two tables of stone like unto the first and
rose up early in the morning and went up unto the mount of Sinai as
the Lord commanded him: and took in his hand the two tables of
stone. And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him
there: and he called upon the name of the Lord. And when the Lord
walked before him, he cried: Lord Lord God full of compassion and
mercy, which art not lightly angry but abundant in mercy and truth,
and keepest mercy in store for thousands, and forgivest wickedness,
trespass and sin (for there is no man innocent before thee) and
visitest the wickedness of the fathers upon the children and upon
childrens children, even unto the third and fourth generation. And
Moses bowed himself to the earth quickly, and worshiped and said: If
I have found grace in thy sight O Lord, then let my Lord go with us
(for it is a stubborn people) and have mercy upon our wickedness and
our sin, and let us be thine inheritance.
And he said: behold, I make an appointment before all this
people, that I will do marvels: such as have not been done in all
the world, neither among any nation. And all the people among which
thou art, shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing
that I will do with thee: keep all that I command thee this day, and
behold: I will cast out before thee: the Amorites, Cananites,
Hethites, Pherezites, Hevites and Jebusites. Take heed to thyself,
that thou make no compact with the inhabiters of the land whither
thou goest lest it be cause of ruin among you. But overthrow their
altars and break their pillars, and cut down their groves, for thou
shalt worship no strange God. For the Lord is called jealous,
because he is a jealous God: lest if thou make any agreement with
the inhabiters of the land, when they go a whoring after their gods
and do sacrifice unto their gods, they call thee and thou eat of
their sacrifice: and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and
when their daughters go a whoring after their gods, they make thy
sons go a whoring after their gods also.
Thou shalt make thee no gods of metal. The feast of sweet
bread shalt thou keep, and seven days thou shalt eat unleavened
bread (as I commanded thee) in the time appointed in the month of
Abib: for in the month of Abib thou camest out of Egypt. All that
breaketh up the matrice shall be mine, and all that breaketh the
matrice among thy cattle, if it be male: whether it be ox or sheep.
But the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a sheep, or if thou
redeem him not: see thou break his neck. All the first born of thy
sons thou must needs redeem. And see that no man appear before me
empty.
Six days thou shalt work, and the seventh thou shalt rest:
both from earing and reaping. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks
with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering
at the years end. Thrice in a year shall all your men children
appear before the Lord Jehovah God of Israel: for I will cast out
the nations before thee and will enlarge thy coasts, so that no man
shall desire thy land, while thou goest up to appear before the face
of the Lord thy God, thrice in the year.
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened
bread: neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of
Passover, be left unto the morning. The first of the first fruits of
thy land, thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. And
see, that thou seethe not a kid in his mothers milk.
And the Lord said unto Moses: write these words, for upon
these words I have made a covenant with thee and with the children
of Israel. And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty
nights, and neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote in the
tables the words of the covenant: even ten verses.
And Moses came down from mount Sinai and the two tables of
witness in his hand, and yet he knew not that the skin of his face
shone with beams of his communing with him. And when Aaron and all
the children of Israel looked upon Moses and saw that the skin of
his face shone with beams, they were afraid to come nigh him. But he
called them to him, and then Aaron and all the chief of the company
came unto him, and Moses talked with them.
And at the last all the children of Israel came unto him, and
he commanded them all that the Lord had said unto him in mount
Sinai. And as soon as he had made an end of communing with them, he
put a covering upon his face. But when he went before the Lord to
speak with him, he took the covering off until he came out. And he
came out and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was
commanded. And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that
the skin of his face shone with beams: but Moses put a covering upon
his face, until he went in to commune with him.

The 35th Chapter
And Moses
gathered all the company of the children of Israel together, and
said unto them: these are the things which the Lord hath commanded
to do: Six days ye shall work, but the seventh day shall be unto you
the holy Sabbath of the Lords rest: so that whosoever doth any work
therein, shall die. Moreover ye shall kindle no fire throughout all
your habitations upon the Sabbath day.
And Moses spake unto all the multitude of the children of
Israel saying: this is the thing which the Lord commanded saying:
Give from among you an heave offering, unto the Lord.
All that are willing in their hearts, shall bring heave
offerings unto the Lord: gold, silver, brass: Jacinth, scarlet,
purple, byss and goats hair: rams skins red and taxus skins and
Sethim wood: and oil for lights and spices for the anointing oil and
for the sweet cense: and Onyx stones and stones to be set for the
Ephod and for the breastlap.
And let all them that are wise hearted among you, come and
make all that the Lord hath commanded: the habitation and the tent
thereof with his covering and his rings, boards, bars, pillars and
sockets: the ark and the staves thereof with the mercy seat and the
veil that covereth it: the table and his staves with all that
pertaineth thereto and the shewbread: the candlestick of light with
his apparel and his lamps and the oil for the lights: the cense
altar and his staves, the anointing oil and the sweet cense and the
hanging before the tabernacle door: the altar of burnt sacrifices
and his brazen gridiron that longeth thereto with his staves and all
his ordinance and the laver and his foot: the hangings of the court
with his pillars and their sockets, and the hanging to the door of
the court: the pins of the habitation and the pins of the court with
their boards: the ministering garments to minister with in holiness,
and the holy vestments of Aaron the priest and the vestments of his
sons to minister in.
And all the company of the children of Israel departed from
the presence of Moses. And they went (as many as their hearts
couraged them and as many as their spirits made them willing) and
brought heave offerings unto the Lord, to the making of the
tabernacle of witness and for all his uses and for the holy
vestments. And the men came with the women (even as many as were
willing hearted) and brought bracelets, earrings, rings and girdles
and all manner Jewels of gold. And all the men that waved wave
offerings of gold unto the Lord and every man with whom was found
Jacinth, scarlet, purple, byss or goats hair or red skins of rams or
taxus skins, brought it. And all that hove up gold or brass, brought
an heave offering unto the Lord. And all men with whom was found
sethim wood meet for any manner work or service, brought it.
And all the women that were wise hearted to work with their
hands, span, and brought the spun work, both of Jacinth, scarlet,
purple and byss. And all the women that excelled in wisdom of heart,
span the goats hair. And the Lords brought Onyx stones and setstones
for the Ephod, and for the breastlap, and spice and oil: both for
the lights and for the anointing oil and for the sweet cense. And
the children of Israel brought willing offerings unto the Lord, both
men and women: as many as their hearts made them willing to bring,
for all manner works which the Lord had commanded to make by the
hand of Moses.
And Moses said unto the children of Israel: behold, the Lord
hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the
tribe of Juda, and hath filled him with the spirit of God, with
wisdom, understanding and knowledge, even in all manner work, and to
find out curious works, to work in gold, silver and brass: and with
graving of stones to set, and with carving in wood, and to work in
all manner of subtle works. And he hath put in his heart the grace
to teach: both him and Ahaliab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of
Dan hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of
graven work: they are also broiderers and workers with needle, in
Jacinth, scarlet, purple and byss, and are weavers that can make all
manner work, and can devise subtle works. |
