Description of the ark.

before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my

the land.

3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea offering.
even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from
the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the
Inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou
shalt drive them out before thee.

32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they
make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their
gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
CHAP. XXIV.

Moses called up into the mount.
ND he said unto Moses, Come up unto the

A LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,
and seventy of the elders of Israel; and wor-
ship ye afar off.

2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

3 And Moses came and told 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 which the LORD hath said will we do. 4¶ And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

6 T And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.

8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire-stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach thein.

13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua:
and Moses went up into the mount of God..
14 T And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here
for us, until we come again unto you: and behold,
Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have
any matters to do, let him come unto them.
15 ¶ And Moses went up into the mount, and a
cloud covered the mount.

16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was n the mount forty days and forty nights. CHAP. XXV.

The offering for the tabernacle.

7 Onyx-stones, and stones to be set in the epliod and in the breast-plate.

8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

9 According to all that I shew thee, after the
pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all
the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10 And they shall make an ark of shittim-
wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth there-
of, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold,
within and without shalt thou overlay it, and
shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it,
and put them in the four corners thereof; and
two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two
rings in the other side of it.

13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim-wood, and overlay them with gold.

14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.

15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.

16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

17 ¶ And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy-seat.

19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercyseat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

21 And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

23 ¶ Thou shalt also make a table of shittimwood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and half the height thereof.

27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
