consume you. And now, take off your ornaments, and I shall know what to do
to you.’ ”
Exod 33:6 So the children of Yisra’ĕl took off their ornaments at Mount
Ḥorĕḇ.
Exod 33:7 And Mosheh took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far
from the camp, and called it the Tent of Meeting. And it came to be that
everyone who sought יהוה went out to the Tent of Meeting which was outside
the camp.
Exod 33:8 And it came to be, whenever Mosheh went out to the Tent, that all
the people rose, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Mosheh
until he entered the Tent.
Exod 33:9 And it came to be, when Mosheh entered the Tent, that the column
of cloud descended and stood at the door of the Tent, and He spoke with
Mosheh.
Exod 33:10 And all the people saw the column of cloud standing at the Tent
door, and all the people rose and bowed themselves, each one at the door of
his tent.
Exod 33:11 Thus יהוה spoke to Mosheh face to face, as a man speaks to his
friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Yehoshua son of
Nun, a young man, did not leave the Tent.
Exod 33:12 And Mosheh said to יהוה, “See, You are saying to me, ‘Bring up
this people.’ But You have not made known to me whom You would send
with me, though You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also
found favour in My eyes.’
Exod 33:13 “And now, please, if I have found favour in Your eyes, please
show me Your way, and let me know You, so that I find favour in Your eyes.
And consider that this nation is Your people.”
Exod 33:14 And He said, “My Presence does go, and I shall give you rest.”
Exod 33:15 And he said to Him, “If Your Presence is not going, do not lead
us up from here.
Exod 33:16 “For how then shall it be known that I have found favour in Your
eyes, I and Your people, except You go with us? Then we shall be
distinguished, I and Your people, from all the people who are upon the face
of the earth.”
Exod 33:17 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Even this word you have spoken I
shall do, for you have found favour in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
Exod 33:18 Then he said, “Please, show me Your esteem.”
Exod 33:19 And He said, “I shall cause all My goodness to pass before you,
and I shall proclaim the Name of יהוה before you. And I shall favour him
whom I favour, and shall have compassion on him whom I have
compassion.”
Exod 33:20 But He said, “You are unable to see My face, for no man does
see Me and live.”
Exod 33:21 And יהוה said, “See, there is a place with Me! And you shall
stand on the rock.
Exod 33:22 “And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you
in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand while I pass by.
Exod 33:23 “Then I shall take away My hand and you shall see My back, but
My face shall not be seen.”

Exod 34:1 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first
ones, and I shall write on these tablets the Words that were on the first tablets
which you broke.
Exod 34:2 “And be ready in the morning. Then you shall come up in the
morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there on the top of the
mountain.
Exod 34:3 “And let no man come up with you, and let no man be seen in all
the mountain, and let not even the flock or the herd feed in front of that
mountain.”
Exod 34:4 And he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Mosheh
rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as יהוה had commanded
him, and he took two tablets of stone in his hand.
Exod 34:5 And יהוה came down in the cloud and stood with him there, and
proclaimed the Name, יהוה.
Exod 34:6 And יהוה passed before him and proclaimed, “ יהוה, יהוה, an Ĕl
compassionate and showing favour, patient, and great in kindness and truth,
Exod 34:7 watching over kindness for thousands, forgiving crookedness and
transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished, visiting the
crookedness of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the
third and the fourth generation.”
Exod 34:8 And Mosheh hurried and bowed himself toward the earth, and
did obeisance,
Exod 34:9 and said, “If, now, I have found favour in Your eyes, O יהוה, I
pray, let יהוה go on in our midst, even though we are a stiff-necked people.
And forgive our crookedness and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
Exod 34:10 And He said, “See, I am making a covenant. Before all your
people I am going to do wonders such as have not been done in all the earth,
nor in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work
of יהוה. For what I am doing with you is awesome.
Exod 34:11 “Guard what I command you today. See, I am driving out from
before you the Amorite and the Kena‛anite and the Ḥittite and the Perizzite
and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite.
Exod 34:12 “Guard yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants
of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.
Exod 34:13 “But break down their altars, and smash their pillars, and cut
down their Ashĕrim –
Exod 34:14 for you do not bow yourselves to another mighty one, for יהוה,
whose Name is jealous, is a jealous Ĕl –
Exod 34:15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and
they whore after their mighty ones, and slaughter to their mighty ones, and
one of them invites you and you eat of his slaughterings,
Exod 34:16 and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters
whore after their mighty ones, and make your sons whore after their mighty
ones.
Exod 34:17 “Do not make a moulded mighty one for yourselves.
Exod 34:18 “Guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you
eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the
month of Aḇiḇ, because in the month of Aḇiḇ you came out from Mitsrayim.
Exod 34:19 “Everyone opening the womb is Mine, and every male first-born
among your livestock, whether bull or sheep.
Exod 34:20 “But the first-born of a donkey you ransom with a lamb. And if
you do not ransom, then you shall break his neck. Every first-born of your
sons you shall ransom. And they shall not appear before Me empty-handed.
Exod 34:21 “Six days you work, but on the seventh day you rest – in
ploughing time and in harvest you rest.
Exod 34:22 “And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-
fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
Exod 34:23 “Three times in the year all your men are to appear before the
Master, יהוה, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl,
Exod 34:24 for I dispossess nations before you, and shall enlarge your
borders, and let no one covet your land when you go up to appear before יהוה
your Elohim three times in the year.
Exod 34:25 “Do not offer the blood of My slaughtering with leaven, and do
not let the slaughtering of the Festival of the Passover remain until morning.
Exod 34:26 “Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land to the House of
יהוה your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
Exod 34:27 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Write these Words, for according to
the mouth of these Words I have made a covenant with you and with
Yisra’ĕl.”
Exod 34:28 And he was there with יהוה forty days and forty nights. He did
not eat bread and he did not drink water. And He wrote on the tablets the
Words of the covenant, the Ten Words.
Exod 34:29 And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from Mount Sinai,
while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he came
down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face
shone since he had spoken with Him.
Exod 34:30 And Aharon and all the children of Yisra’ĕl looked at Mosheh
and saw the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
Exod 34:31 But Mosheh called out to them, and Aharon and all the rulers of
the congregation returned to him, and Mosheh spoke to them.
Exod 34:32 And afterward all the children of Yisra’ĕl came near, and he
commanded them all that יהוה had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
Exod 34:33 And when Mosheh ended speaking with them, he put a veil on
his face.
Exod 34:34 But whenever Mosheh went in before יהוה to speak with Him, he
would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out he spoke to
the children of Yisra’ĕl what he had been commanded,
Exod 34:35 and the children of Yisra’ĕl would see the face of Mosheh, that
the skin of Mosheh’s face shone, and Mosheh would put the veil on his face
again, until he went in to speak with Him.

Exod 35:1 And Mosheh assembled all the congregation of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, and said to them, “These are the Words which יהוה has commanded
you to do:
Exod 35:2 “Work is done for six days, but on the seventh day it shall be set-
apart to you, a Sabbath of rest to יהוה. Anyone doing work on it is put to
death.
Exod 35:3 “Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath
day.”
Exod 35:4 And Mosheh spoke to all the congregation of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the word which יהוה commanded, saying,
Exod 35:5 ‘Take from among you a contribution to יהוה. Everyone whose
heart so moves him, let him bring it as a contribution to יהוה : gold, and
silver, and bronze,
Exod 35:6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet material, and fine linen, and
goats’ hair,
Exod 35:7 and ram skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood,
Exod 35:8 and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the
sweet incense,
Exod 35:9 and shoham stones, and stones to be set in the shoulder garment
and in the breastplate.
Exod 35:10 ‘And let all the wise-hearted among you come and make all that
יהוה has commanded:
Exod 35:11 the Dwelling Place, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its
boards, its bars, its columns, and its sockets,
Exod 35:12 the ark and its poles, the lid of atonement and the veil of the
covering,
Exod 35:13 the table and its poles, and all its utensils, and the showbread,
Exod 35:14 and the lampstand for the light, and its utensils, and its lamps,
and the oil for the light,
Exod 35:15 and the incense altar, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the
sweet incense, and the covering for the door at the entrance of the Dwelling
Place,
Exod 35:16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and
all its utensils, the basin and its stand,
Exod 35:17 the screens of the courtyard, its columns, and their sockets, and
the covering for the gate of the courtyard,
Exod 35:18 the pegs of the Dwelling Place, and the pegs of the courtyard,
and their cords,
Exod 35:19 the woven garments to do service in the set-apart place, the set-
apart garments for Aharon the priest and the garments of his sons to serve as
priests.’ ”
Exod 35:20 And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl withdrew
from the presence of Mosheh.
Exod 35:21 And everyone whose heart lifted him up and everyone whose
spirit moved him came, and they brought the contribution to יהוה for the work
of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the set-apart garments.
Exod 35:22 And they came, both men and women, all whose hearts moved
them, and brought earrings and nose rings, and rings and necklaces, all
golden goods, even every one who made a wave offering of gold to יהוה.
Exod 35:23 And every man, with whom was found blue and purple and
scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red,
and fine leather, brought them.
Exod 35:24 Everyone who would make a contribution to יהוה of silver or
bronze, brought it. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any
work of the service, brought it.
Exod 35:25 And all the wise-hearted women spun yarn with their hands, and
brought what they had spun, the blue and the purple, the scarlet material, and
the fine linen.
Exod 35:26 And all the women whose hearts lifted them up in wisdom spun
the goats’ hair.
Exod 35:27 And the rulers brought shoham stones, and the stones to be set in
the shoulder garment and in the breastplate,
Exod 35:28 and the spices and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil,
and for the sweet incense.
Exod 35:29 The children of Yisra’ĕl brought a voluntary offering to יהוה, all
the men and women whose hearts moved them to bring all kinds of work
which יהוה, by the hand of Mosheh, had commanded to be done.
Exod 35:30 And Mosheh said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, “See, יהוה has
called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah,
Exod 35:31 and He has filled him with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
Exod 35:32 to make designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze,
Exod 35:33 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to
work in all workmanship of design.
Exod 35:34 “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and
Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ, of the tribe of Dan.
Exod 35:35 “He has filled them with skill to do all work of the engraver and
the designer and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in scarlet material, and
in fine linen, and a weaver, doing any work, and makers of designs.

Exod 36:1 “And Betsal’ĕl and Oholiaḇ, and every wise-hearted man in
whom יהוה has given wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all work
for the service of the set-apart place, shall do according to all that יהוה has
commanded.”
Exod 36:2 And Mosheh called Betsal’ĕl and Oholiaḇ, and every wise-
hearted man in whose heart יהוה had given wisdom, everyone whose heart
lifted him up, to come and do the work.
Exod 36:3 And they received from Mosheh all the contribution which the
children of Yisra’ĕl had brought for the work of the service of making the
set-apart place. But they still brought to him voluntary offerings every
morning,
Exod 36:4 so all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the set-apart
place came, each from the work he was doing,
Exod 36:5 and they spoke to Mosheh, saying, “The people bring much more
than enough for the service of the work which יהוה commanded us to do.”
Exod 36:6 Then Mosheh commanded and they sent this word throughout the
camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the
contribution of the set-apart place.” And the people were withheld from
bringing,
Exod 36:7 for what they had was enough for all the work to be done, more
than enough.
Exod 36:8 Then all the wise-hearted ones among them who worked on the
Dwelling Place made ten curtains woven of fine linen and blue and purple
and scarlet material. They made them with keruḇim, the work of a skilled
workman.
Exod 36:9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width
of each curtain four cubits, all the curtains having one measure.
Exod 36:10 And he joined five curtains, one to another; and the other five
curtains he joined, one to another.
Exod 36:11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain of one
set, the same he did on the edge of the end curtain of the other set.
Exod 36:12 Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on
the edge of the end curtain of the second set; the loops held one curtain to
another.
Exod 36:13 And he made fifty hooks of gold, and joined the curtains to each
other with the hooks, and the Dwelling Place became one.
Exod 36:14 And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the
Dwelling Place, he made eleven curtains.
Exod 36:15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of
each curtain four cubits, the eleven curtains having one measure.
Exod 36:16 And he joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by
themselves.
Exod 36:17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in one
set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set.
Exod 36:18 And he made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent, to be one.
Exod 36:19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins, dyed red,
and a covering of fine leather above that.
Exod 36:20 And for the Dwelling Place he made boards of acacia wood,
standing up.
Exod 36:21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each
board a cubit and a half.
Exod 36:22 Each board had two tenons for binding one to another. So he did
to all the boards of the Dwelling Place.
Exod 36:23 And he made boards for the Dwelling Place, twenty boards for
the south side.
Exod 36:24 And he made forty sockets of silver to go under the twenty
boards, and two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons.
Exod 36:25 And for the other side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side,
he made twenty boards,
Exod 36:26 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one
board, and two sockets under the other board.
Exod 36:27 And he made six boards for the west side of the Dwelling Place.
Exod 36:28 And he made two boards for the two back corners of the
Dwelling Place.
Exod 36:29 And they were double beneath, and similarly they were
complete to the top by one ring. So he did to both of them for the two corners.
Exod 36:30 And there were eight boards, and their silver sockets, sixteen
sockets, two sockets under each of the boards.
Exod 36:31 And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one
side of the Dwelling Place,
Exod 36:32 and five bars for the boards on the other side of the Dwelling
Place, and five bars for the boards of the Dwelling Place at the rear,
westward.
Exod 36:33 And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one
end to the other.
Exod 36:34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and their rings he made
of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
Exod 36:35 And he made a veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and
fine worked linen. It was made with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman.
Exod 36:36 And he made four columns of acacia wood for it, and overlaid
them with gold, with their hooks of gold. And he cast four sockets of silver
for them.
Exod 36:37 And he made a covering for the Tent door of blue and purple
and scarlet material and fine woven linen, made by a weaver,
Exod 36:38 and its five columns with their hooks. And he overlaid their tops
and their rings with gold, but their five sockets were of bronze.
