it, to gird it on withal, was of the same piece and like the work thereof; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses. 6 And they wrought the onyx stones, inclosed in ouches of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children 7 of Israel. And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

8 And he made the breastplate, the work of the cunning workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine 9 twined linen. It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span 10 the breadth thereof, being double. And they set in it four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle 11 was the first row. And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a 12 diamond. And the third row, a jacinth, 13 an agate, and an amethyst. And the

fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of 14 gold in their settings. And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his 15 name, for the twelve tribes. And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold. 16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings on the two ends of the breast17 plate. And they put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the 18 ends of the breastplate. And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the 19 ephod, in the forepart thereof. And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which was toward the side of the ephod in20 ward. And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulderpieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the cunningly 21 woven band of the ephod. And they did bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be upon the cunningly woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

22 2And he made the robe of the ephod of 23 woven work, all of blue; and the hole

of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding

round about the hole of it, that it should 24 not be rent. And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined 25 linen. And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about, between the pome26 granates; a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.

32 Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its 34 pillars, and its sockets; and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of 35 the screen; the ark of the testimony,

and the staves thereof, and the mercy36 seat; the table, all the vessels thereof, 37 and the shewbread; the pure candle

stick, the lamps thereof, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels 38 thereof, and the oil for the light; and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen 39 for the door of the Tent; the brasen

altar, and its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver 40 and its base; the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins thereof, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meet41 ing; the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minis42 ter in the priest's office. According to

all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the 43 work. And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

40 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say2 ing. On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the 3 tent of meeting. And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil. 4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. 5 And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door 6 to the tabernacle. And thou shalt set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of 7 meeting. And thou shalt set the laver! between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the 9 gate of the court. And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture 10 thereof and it shall be holy. And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt! offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be 11 most holy. And thou shalt anoint the 12 laver and its base, and sanctify it. And

thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, 13 and shalt wash them with water. And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister 14 unto me in the priest's office. And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats 15 upon them: and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. 16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he. 17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was 18 reared up. And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its 19 pillars. And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD 20 commanded Moses. And he took and

put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the 21 mercy-seat above upon the ark: and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as 22 the LORD commanded Moses. And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle north23 ward, without the veil. And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD commanded 24 Moses. And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the taber25 nacle southward. And he 1lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD 26 commanded Moses. And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting 27 before the veil: and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as the LORD 28 commanded Moses. And he put the

screen of the door to the tabernacle. 29 And he set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meal offering; as the LORD commanded Moses. 30 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put 31 water therein, to wash withal. 2And

Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat; 32 when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed: as the LORD com33 manded Moses. And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD 35 filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the 36 tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, 37 throughout all their journeys: but if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it 38 was taken up. For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

1 AND the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent 2 of meeting, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto the LORD, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.

3 If his oblation be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD. 4 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make 5 atonement for him. And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at 6 the door of the tent of meeting. And he shall flay the burnt offering, and 7 cut it into its pieces. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon 8 the fire: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on 9 the fire which is upon the altar: but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

10 And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt offering; he shall offer it a male with11 out blemish. And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon 12 the altar round about. And he shall

cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on 13 the fire which is upon the altar: but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water: and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

14 And if his oblation to the LORD be a burnt offering of fowls, then

he shall offer his oblation of turtle15 doves, or of young pigeons. And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the 16 altar: and he shall take away its crop

2

with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in 17 the place of the ashes: and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. ! And when any one offereth an oblation of a meal offering unto the LORD, his oblation shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put 2 frankincense thereon: and he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the fine flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn it as the memorial thereof upon the altar, an offering made by fire, of a 3 sweet savour unto the LORD: and that which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

4 And when thou offerest an oblation of a meal offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened 5 wafers anointed with oil. And if thy oblation be a meal offering of the 3 baking pan, it shall be of fine flour 6 unleavened, mingled with oil. Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil 7 thereon: it is a meal offering. And if thy oblation be a meal offering of the frying pan, it shall be made of fine 8 flour with oil. And thou shalt bring the meal offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and it shall be presented unto the priest, and he shall 9 bring it unto the altar. And the priest shall take up from the meal offering the memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the 10 LORD. And that which is left of the

meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. 11 No meal offering, which ye shall offer unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, as an offering made 12 by fire unto the LORD. As an oblation of firstfruits ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not come up for a sweet savour on the altar. 13 And every oblation of thy meal offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal offering: with all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt.

14 And if thou offer a meal offering of firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meal offering of thy firstfruits corn in the ear parched with 15 fire, bruised corn of the fresh ear. And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meal of 16 fering. And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the bruised corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

3 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he offer of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the 2 LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his oblation, and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar 3 round about. And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the 4 fat that is upon the inwards, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, 5 shall he take away. And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt offering, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

6 And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall 7 offer it without blemish. If he offer a lamb for his oblation, then shall 8 he offer it before the LORD: and he shall lay his hand upon the head of his oblation, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon 9 the altar round about. And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, the fat tail entire, he shall take it away hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth

the inwards, and all the fat that is 10 upon the inwards, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall 11 he take away. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.

12 And if his oblation be a goat, then 13 he shall offer it before the LORD: and he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and the sors of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the 14 altar round about. And he shall offer thereof his oblation, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the 15 fat that is upon the inwards, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savour: all the fat is the 17 LORD's. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one shall sin unwittingly, in any of the things Or. which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of 3 them: if the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the people; then let him offer for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin 4 offering. And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before 5 the LORD. And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to the tent of meeting: 6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before 7 the veil of the sanctuary. And the priest shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at 8 the door of the tent of meeting. And all the fat of the bullock of the sin offering he shall take off from it; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat 9 that is upon the inwards, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, 6 with the kidneys, shall

10 he take away, as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them 11 upon the altar of burnt offering. And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, 12 and its inwards, and its dung, even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt.

13 And if the whole congregation of Israel shall err, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not 14 to be done, and are guilty; when the sin wherein they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for a sin offering, and bring it before the tent of meet15 ing. And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before 16 the LORD. And the anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bullock 17 to the tent of meeting: and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, 18 before the veil. And he shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tent of meeting, and all the blood shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the 19 door of the tent of meeting. And all the fat thereof shall he take off from 20 it, and burn it upon the altar. Thus shall he do with the bullock; as he did with the bullock of the sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make atonement for them, 21 and they shall be forgiven. And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock: it is the sin offering for the assembly.

22 When a ruler sinneth, and doeth unwittingly any one of all the things which the LORD his God hath commanded not 23 to be done, and is guilty; if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be made known to him, he shall bring for his oblation 24 a goat, a male without blemish; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: 25 it is a sin offering. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar of 26 burnt offering. And all the fat thereof shall he burn upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings:

and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27 And if any one of the common people sin unwittingly, in doing any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and be 28 guilty; if his sin, which he hath sinned, be made known to him, then he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he 29 hath sinned. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place 30 of burnt offering. And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and all the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base 31 of the altar. And all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32 And if he bring a lamb as his oblation for a sin offering, he shall bring it a 33 female without blemish. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin

offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the 34 burnt offering. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and all the blood thereof shall he pour 35 out at the base of the altar: and all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, 2 upon the offerings of the LORD made by fire: and the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin f that he hath sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do not utter it, then he 2 shall bear his iniquity: or if any one touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcase of an unclean beast, or the carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him, and he be 3 unclean, then he shall be guilty: or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever his uncleanness be wherewith he is unclean, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall 4 be guilty: or if any one swear rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these things:
