[16] And they made the anointing oil, and the incense of composition, and the pure candlestick, [17] and its lamps, lamps for burning, and oil for the light, [18] and the table of shewbread, and all its furniture, and the shewbread upon it, [19] and the garments of the sanctuary which belong to Aaron, and the garments of his sons, for the priestly ministry; [20] and the curtains of the court, and the posts, and the veil of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court, [21] and all the vessels of the tabernacle and all its instruments: and the skins, even rams’ skins dyed red, and the blue coverings, and the coverings of the other things, and the pins, and all the instruments for the works of the tabernacle of witness. [22] Whatsoever things the Lord appointed Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the furniture. [23] And Moses saw all the works; and they had done them all as the Lord commanded Moses, so had they made them; and Moses blessed them.
Chapter 40
[1] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [2] On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of witness, [3] and thou shalt place in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil, [4] and thou shalt bring in the table and shalt set forth that which is to be set forth on it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it. [5] And thou shalt place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and thou shalt put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness. [6] And thou shalt put the altar of burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt set up the tabernacle round about, and thou shalt hallow all that belongs to it round about. [7] 8 [9] And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and shalt anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shalt sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy. [10] And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offerings, and all its furniture; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy. [11] 12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt wash them with water. [13] And thou shalt put on Aaron the holy garments, and thou shalt anoint him, and thou shalt sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest. [14] And thou shalt bring up his sons, and shalt put garments on them. [15] And thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations. [16] And Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
[17] And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up. [18] And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts. [19] And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses. [20] And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark. [21] And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on it the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses. [22] And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle. [23] And he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. [24] And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. [25] And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. [26] And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil; [27] and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses. [28] 29 And he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle. [31] 32 [33] And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
[34] And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord. [35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord. [36] And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage. [37] And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up. [38] For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
Leviticus
Chapter 1
[1] And the Lord called Moses again and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of witness, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, [2] If any man of you shall bring gifts to the Lord, ye shall bring your gifts of the cattle and of the oxen and of the sheep. [3] If his gift be a whole-burnt-offering, he shall bring an unblemished male of the herd to the door of the tabernacle of witness, he shall bring it as acceptable before the Lord. [4] And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering as a thing acceptable for him, to make atonement for him. [5] And they shall slay the calf before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring the blood, and they shall pour the blood round about on the altar, which is at the doors of the tabernacle of witness. [6] And having flayed the whole burnt-offering, they shall divide it by its limbs. [7] And the sons of Aaron the priests shall put fire on the altar, and shall pile wood on the fire. [8] And the sons of Aaron the priests shall pile up the divided parts, and the head, and the fat on the wood on the fire, the wood which is on the altar. [9] And the entrails and the feet they shall wash in water, and the priests shall put all on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. [10] And if his gift be of the sheep to the Lord, or of the lambs, or of the kids for whole-burnt-offerings, he shall bring it a male without blemish. [11] And he shall lay his hand on its head; and they shall kill it by the side of the altar, toward the north before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour its blood on the altar round about. [12] And they shall divide it by its limbs, and its head and its fat, and the priests shall pile them up on the wood which is on the fire, on the altar. [13] And they shall wash the entrails and the feet with water, and the priest shall bring all the parts and put them on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. [14] And if he bring his gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord, of birds, then shall he bring his gift of doves or pigeons. [15] And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and shall wring off its head; and the priest shall put it on the altar, and shall wring out the blood at the bottom of the altar. [16] And he shall take away the crop with the feathers, and shall cast it forth by the altar toward the east to the place of the ashes. [17] And he shall break it off from the wings and shall not separate it, and the priest shall put it on the altar on the wood which is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
Chapter 2
[1] And if a soul bring a gift, a sacrifice to the Lord, his gift shall be fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice. [2] And he shall bring it to the priests the sons of Aaron: and having taken from it a handful of the fine flour with the oil, and all its frankincense, then the priest shall put the memorial of it on the altar: it is a sacrifice, an odour of sweet savour to the Lord. [3] And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the Lord. [4] And if he bring as a gift a sacrifice baked from the oven, a gift to the Lord of fine flour, he shall bring unleavened bread kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil. [5] And if thy gift be a sacrifice from a pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened offerings. [6] And thou shalt break them into fragments and pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord. [7] And if thy gift be a sacrifice from the hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. [8] And he shall offer the sacrifice which he shall make of these to the Lord, and shall bring it to the priest. [9] And the priest shall approach the altar, and shall take away from the sacrifice a memorial of it, and the priest shall place it on the altar: a burnt offering, a smell of sweet savou
r to the Lord. [10] And that which is left of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, most holy from the burnt-offerings of the Lord. [11] Ye shall not leaven any sacrifice which ye shall bring to the Lord; for as to any leaven, or any honey, ye shall not bring of it to offer a gift to the Lord. [12] Ye shall bring them in the way of fruits to the Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord. [13] And every gift of your sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from your sacrifices: on every gift of yours ye shall offer salt to the Lord your God. [14] And if thou wouldest offer a sacrifice of first-fruits to the Lord, it shall be new grains ground and roasted for the Lord; so shalt thou bring the sacrifice of the first-fruits. [15] And thou shalt pour oil upon it, and shalt put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice. [16] And the priest shall offer the memorial of it taken from the grains with the oil, and all its frankincense: it is a burnt-offering to the Lord.
Chapter 3
[1] And if his gift to the Lord be a peace-offering, if he should bring it of the oxen, whether it be male or whether it be female, he shall bring it unblemished before the Lord. [2] And he shall lay his hands on the head of the gift, and shall slay it before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. And the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood on the altar of burnt-offerings round about. [3] And they shall bring of the peace-offering a burnt-sacrifice to the Lord, the fat covering the belly, and all the fat on the belly. [4] And the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them; he shall take away that which is on the thighs, and the caul above the liver together with the kidneys. [5] And the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer them on the altar on the burnt-offering, on the wood which is on the fire upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. [6] And if his gift be of the sheep, a peace-offering to the Lord, male or female, he shall bring it unblemished. [7] If he bring a lamb for his gift, he shall bring it before the Lord. [8] And he shall lay his hands on the head of his offering, and shall slay it by the doors of the tabernacle of witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on the altar round about. [9] And he shall bring of the peace-offering a burnt-sacrifice to the Lord: the fat and the hinder part unblemished he shall take away with the loins, and having taken away all the fat that covers the belly, and all the fat that is on the belly, [10] and both the kidneys and the fat that is upon them, and that which is on the thighs, and the caul which is on the liver with the kidneys, [11] the priest shall offer these on the altar: it is a sacrifice of sweet savour, a burnt-offering to the Lord.
[12] And if his offering be of the goats, then shall he bring it before the Lord. [13] And he shall lay his hands on its head; and they shall slay it before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on the altar round about. [14] And he shall offer of it a burnt-offering to the Lord, even the fat that covers the belly, and all the fat that is on the belly. [15] And both the kidneys, and all the fat that is upon them, that which is upon the thighs, and the caul of the liver with the kidneys, shall he take away. [16] And the priest shall offer it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. All the fat belongs to the Lord. [17] It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your habitations; ye shall eat no fat and no blood.
Chapter 4
[1] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin unwillingly before the Lord, in any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which he ought not to do, and shall do some of them; [3] if the anointed priest sin so as to cause the people to sin, then shall he bring for his sin, which he has sinned, an unblemished calf of the herd to the Lord for his sin. [4] And he shall bring the calf to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord, and he shall put his hand on the head of the calf before the Lord, and shall slay the calf in the presence of the Lord. [5] And the anointed priest who has been consecrated having received of the blood of the calf, shall then bring it into the tabernacle of witness. [6] And the priest shall dip his finger into the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, over against the holy veil. [7] And the priest shall put of the blood of the calf on the horns of the altar of the compound incense which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of witness; and all the blood of the calf shall he pour out by the foot of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, which is by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. [8] and all the fat of the calf of the sin-offering shall he take off from it; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, [9] and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is on the thighs, and the caul that is on the liver with the kidneys, them shall he take away, [10] as he takes it away from the calf of the sacrifice of peace-offering, so shall the priest offer it on the altar of burnt-offering. [11] And they shall take the skin of the calf, and all his flesh with the head and the extremities and the belly and the dung, [12] and they shall carry out the whole calf out of the camp into a clean place, where they pour out the ashes, and they shall consume it there on wood with fire: it shall be burnt on the ashes poured out.
[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel trespass ignorantly, and a thing should escape the notice of the congregation, and they should do one thing forbidden of any of the commands of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and should transgress: [14] and the sin wherein they have sinned should become known to them, then shall the congregation bring an unblemished calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and they shall bring it to the doors of the tabernacle of witness. [15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the calf before the Lord, and they shall slay the calf before the Lord. [16] And the anointed priest shall bring in of the blood of the calf into the tabernacle of witness. [17] And the priest shall dip his finger into some of the blood of the calf, and shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil of the sanctuary. [18] And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of the incense of composition, which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of witness; and he shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, which is by the door of the tabernacle of witness. [19] And he shall take away all the fat from it, and shall offer it up on the altar. [20] And he shall do to the calf as he did to the calf of the sin-offering, so shall it be done; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and the trespass shall be forgiven them. [21] And they shall carry forth the calf whole without the camp, and they shall burn the calf as they burnt the former calf: it is the sin-offering of the congregation.
[22] And if a ruler sin, and break one of all the commands of the Lord his God, doing the thing which ought not to be done, unwillingly, and shall sin and trespass, [23] and his trespass wherein he has sinned, be known to him, — then shall he offer for his gift a kid of the goats, a male without blemish. [24] And he shall lay his hand on the head of the kid, and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the victims for whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord; it is a sin-offering. [25] And the priest shall put some of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger on the horns of the altar of whole-burnt-offering; and he shall pour out all its blood by the bottom of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings. [26] And he shall offer up all his fat on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
[27] And if a soul of the people of the land should sin unwillingly, in doing a thing contrary to any of the commandments of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and shall transgress, [28] and his sin should be known to him, wherein he has sinned, then shall he bring a kid of the goats, a female without blemish shall he bring for his sin, which he has sinned. [29] And he shall lay his hand on the head of his sin-offering, and they shall slay the kid of the sin-offering in the place where they slay the victims for whole-burnt-offerings
. [30] And the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings; and all its blood he shall pour forth by the foot of the altar. [31] And he shall take away all the fat, as the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offering, and the priest shall offer it on the altar for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and his sin shall be forgiven him.
[32] And if he should offer a lamb for his sin-offering, he shall offer it a female without blemish. [33] And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin-offerings, and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the victims for whole-burnt-offerings. [34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, and he shall pour out all its blood by the bottom of the altar of whole-burnt-offering. [35] And he shall take away all his fat, as the fat of the lamb of the sacrifice of peace-offering is taken away, and the priest shall put it on the altar for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
