Exod 28:1 “And you, bring near Aharon your brother and his sons with him,
from among the children of Yisra’ĕl, for serving as priest to Me: Aharon,
Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, El‛azar and Ithamar, the sons of Aharon.
Exod 28:2 “And you shall make set-apart garments for Aharon your brother,
for esteem and for comeliness.
Exod 28:3 “And you, speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with
a spirit of wisdom, and they shall make the garments of Aharon, to set him
apart, for him to serve as priest to Me.

shoulder garment, a robe, an embroidered long shirt, a turban, and a girdle.
And they shall make set-apart garments for Aharon your brother and his sons,
for him to serve as priest to Me.
Exod 28:5 “And they shall take the gold, and the blue and the purple and the
scarlet material, and the fine linen,
Exod 28:6 and shall make the shoulder garment of gold, of blue and purple
and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, the work of a skilled workman.
Exod 28:7 “It is to have two shoulder pieces joined at its two edges, and so
it is joined together.
Exod 28:8 “And the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, which is on
it, is of the same workmanship, made of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet
material, and fine woven linen.
Exod 28:9 “And you shall take two shoham stones and engrave on them the
names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl,
Exod 28:10 six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on
the other stone, according to their birth.
Exod 28:11 “With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a
signet, engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl. Set
them in settings of gold.
Exod 28:12 “And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the
shoulder garment as stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl. And
Aharon shall bear their names before יהוה on his two shoulders, for a
remembrance.
Exod 28:13 “And you shall make settings of gold,
Exod 28:14 and two chains of clean gold like braided cords, and fasten the
braided chains to the settings.
Exod 28:15 “And you shall make a breastplate of right-ruling, a work of a
skilled workman, like the work of the shoulder garment. Make it of gold, of
blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen.
Exod 28:16 “It is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its width.
Exod 28:17 “And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones:
The first row is a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
Exod 28:18 and the second row is a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
Exod 28:19 and the third row is a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Exod 28:20 and the fourth row is a beryl, and a shoham, and a jasper. They
are set in gold settings.
Exod 28:21 “And the stones are according to the names of the sons of
Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet,
each one with its own name, for the twelve tribes.
Exod 28:22 “And you shall make braided chains of corded work for the
breastplate at the end, of clean gold.
Exod 28:23 “And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and
shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
Exod 28:24 “And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings which
are on the ends of the breastplate,
Exod 28:25 and the other two ends of the two cords you fasten to the two
settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment in the
front.
Exod 28:26 “And you shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the
two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the
shoulder garment.
Exod 28:27 “And you shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two
shoulder pieces, underneath the shoulder garment, on the front of it, close to
the seam above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment,
Exod 28:28 and they bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of
the shoulder garment, using a blue cord, so that it is above the embroidered
band of the shoulder garment, so that the breastplate does not come loose
from the shoulder garment.
Exod 28:29 “And Aharon shall bear the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl on the
breastplate of right-ruling over his heart, when he goes into the set-apart
place, for a remembrance before יהוה, continually.
Exod 28:30 “And into the breastplate of right-ruling you shall put the Urim
and the Tummim, and they shall be on the heart of Aharon when he goes in
before יהוה. And Aharon shall bear the right-ruling of the children of Yisra’ĕl
on his heart before יהוה, continually.
Exod 28:31 “And you shall make the robe of the shoulder garment all of
blue.
Exod 28:32 “And the opening for his head shall be in the middle of it, a
woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a scaled armour, so
that it does not tear.
Exod 28:33 “And on its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue and
purple and scarlet material, all around its hem, and bells of gold between
them all around:
Exod 28:34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a
pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around.
Exod 28:35 “And it shall be upon Aharon to attend in, and its sound shall be
heard when he goes into the set-apart place before יהוה and when he comes
out, so that he does not die.
Exod 28:36 “And you shall make a plate of clean gold and engrave on it,
like the engraving of a signet: SET-APARTNESS TO יהוה.
Exod 28:37 “And you shall put it on a blue cord, and it shall be on the turban
– it is to be on the front of the turban.
Exod 28:38 “And it shall be on the forehead of Aharon, and Aharon shall
bear the guilt of the set-apart gifts which the children of Yisra’ĕl set apart in
all their set-apart gifts. And it shall always be on his forehead, for
acceptance for them before יהוה.
Exod 28:39 “And you shall weave the long shirt of fine linen, and shall
make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the girdle of woven work.
Exod 28:40 “And make long shirts for Aharon’s sons. And you shall make
girdles for them, and you shall make turbans for them, for esteem and
comeliness.
Exod 28:41 “And you shall put them on Aharon your brother and on his sons
with him, and shall anoint them, and shall ordain them, and shall set them
apart, and they shall serve as priests to Me.
Exod 28:42 “And make linen trousers for them, to cover their nakedness,
reaching from the waist to the thighs.
Exod 28:43 “And they shall be on Aharon and on his sons when they come
into the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near the altar to attend in the Set-
apart Place, so that they do not bear crookedness and die – a law forever to
him, and to his seed after him.

So you shall ordain Aharon and his sons.
Exod 29:10 “And you shall bring near the bull before the Tent of Meeting,
and Aharon and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.
Exod 29:11 “And you shall slaughter the bull before יהוה, by the door of the
Tent of Meeting,
Exod 29:12 and take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of
the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the altar.
Exod 29:13 “And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the
appendage on the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and
burn them on the altar.
Exod 29:14 “But the flesh of the bull, and its skin and its dung, you shall
burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.
Exod 29:15 “And take one ram, and Aharon and his sons shall lay their
hands on the head of the ram,
Exod 29:16 and you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and
sprinkle it all around on the altar.
Exod 29:17 “And cut the ram in pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs,
and place them upon its pieces and on its head.
Exod 29:18 “And you shall burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt
offering to יהוה, it is a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Exod 29:19 “And you shall take the second ram, and Aharon and his sons
shall lay their hands on the head of the ram,
Exod 29:20 and you shall slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and
put it on the tip of the right ear of Aharon and on the tip of the right ear of his
sons, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and
sprinkle the blood all around on the altar.
Exod 29:21 “And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and
some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aharon and on his garments, on
his sons and on the garments of his sons with him. And he and his garments
shall be set-apart, and his sons and the garments of his sons with him.
Exod 29:22 “And you shall take the fat of the ram, and the fat tail, and the fat
that covers the entrails, and the appendage on the liver, and the two kidneys
and the fat on them, and the right thigh – it is for a ram of ordination –
Exod 29:23 and one loaf of bread, and one cake made with oil, and one thin
cake from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before יהוה.
Exod 29:24 “And you shall put all these in the hands of Aharon and in the
hands of his sons, and you shall wave them – a wave offering before יהוה.
Exod 29:25 “Then you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the
altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet fragrance before יהוה. It is an offering
made by fire to יהוה.
Exod 29:26 “And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aharon’s ordination
and wave it – a wave offering before יהוה, and it shall be your portion.
Exod 29:27 “And from the ram of ordination you shall set apart the breast of
the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the contribution which is
raised, of that which is for Aharon and of that which is for his sons.
Exod 29:28 “And it shall be from the children of Yisra’ĕl for Aharon and his
sons by a law forever, for it is a contribution. And it is a contribution from
the children of Yisra’ĕl from their peace offerings – their contribution to יהוה.
Exod 29:29 “And the set-apart garments of Aharon are for his sons after him,
to be anointed in them and to be ordained in them.
Exod 29:30 “The priest from his sons in his place, puts them on for seven
days, when he enters the Tent of Meeting to attend in the set-apart place.
Exod 29:31 “And take the ram of ordination and cook its flesh in a set-apart
place.
Exod 29:32 “And Aharon and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the
bread that is in the basket, by the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Exod 29:33 and they shall eat those offerings with which the atonement was
made, to ordain them, to set them apart. But let a stranger not eat them,
because they are set-apart.
Exod 29:34 “And if any of the flesh of the ordination offerings, or of the
bread, be left over until the morning, then you shall burn up what is left over.
It is not eaten, because it is set-apart.
Exod 29:35 “And so you shall do to Aharon and his sons, according to all I
have commanded you. Seven days you shall ordain them,
Exod 29:36 and prepare a bull each day as a sin offering for atonement. And
you shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall
anoint it to set it apart.
Exod 29:37 “For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and set
it apart. And the altar shall be most set-apart – whatever touches the altar is
to be set-apart.
Exod 29:38 “And this is what you prepare on the altar: two lambs, a year
old, daily, continually.
Exod 29:39 “Prepare the one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you
prepare between the evenings,
Exod 29:40 and one-tenth of an ĕphah of flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin
of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering, with the
one lamb.
Exod 29:41 “And prepare the other lamb between the evenings. And with it
prepare the grain offering and the drink offering, as in the morning, for a
sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה –
Exod 29:42 a continual burnt offering for your generations at the door of the
Tent of Meeting before יהוה, where I shall meet with you to speak with you.
Exod 29:43 “And there I shall meet with the children of Yisra’ĕl, and it shall
be set apart by My esteem.
Exod 29:44 “And I shall set apart the Tent of Meeting and the altar. And
Aharon and his sons I set apart to serve as priests to Me.

shall be their Elohim.

them.
Exod 30:13 “Everyone among those who are registered is to give this: half a
sheqel according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, twenty gĕrahs being a

like it, according to its composition. It is set-apart, it is set-apart to you.
Exod 30:33 ‘Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a
stranger, shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
Exod 30:34 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take sweet spices, fragrant gum and
cinnamon and galbanam, and clear frankincense with these sweet spices, all
in equal amounts.

a perfumer, salted, clean, set-apart.

Exod 31:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 31:2 “See, I have called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of
the tribe of Yehuḏah,
Exod 31:3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
Exod 31:4 to make designs for work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
Exod 31:5 and in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to
work in all work.
Exod 31:6 “And I, look I have appointed with him Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ,
of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of everyone who is
wise-hearted, and they shall make all that I have commanded you:
Exod 31:7 the Tent of Meeting, and the ark of the Witness and the lid of
atonement that is on it, and all the utensils of the Tent,
Exod 31:8 and the table and its utensils, and the clean gold lampstand with
all its utensils, and the altar of incense,
Exod 31:9 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin
and its stand,
Exod 31:10 and the woven garments, and the set-apart garments for Aharon
the priest and the garments of his sons, for serving as priests,
Exod 31:11 and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the Set-apart Place.
According to all that I have commanded you, they are to do.”
Exod 31:12 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 31:13 “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘My
Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you
throughout your generations, to know that I, יהוה, am setting you apart.
Exod 31:14 ‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you.
Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who
does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people.
Exod 31:15 ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest,
set-apart to יהוה. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be
put to death.
Exod 31:16 ‘And the children of Yisra’ĕl shall guard the Sabbath, to
observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.
Exod 31:17 ‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever.
For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day
He rested and was refreshed.’ ”
Exod 31:18 And when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He
gave Mosheh two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the
finger of Elohim.
Exod 32:1 And when the people saw that Mosheh was so long in coming
down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aharon, and said to
him, “Arise, make us mighty ones who go before us. For this Mosheh, the
man who brought us up out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what
has become of him.”
Exod 32:2 And Aharon said to them, “Take off the golden earrings which are
in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to
me.”
Exod 32:3 “And all the people took off the golden earrings which were in
their ears, and brought them to Aharon.
Exod 32:4 And he took this from their hand, and he formed it with an
engraving tool, and made a moulded calf. And they said, “This is your mighty
one, O Yisra’ĕl, that brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!”
Exod 32:5 And Aharon saw and built an altar before it. And Aharon called
out and said, “Tomorrow is a festival to יהוה.”
Exod 32:6 And they rose early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings,
and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and
rose up to play.
Exod 32:7 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go, get down! For your people whom
you brought out of the land of Mitsrayim have corrupted themselves.
Exod 32:8 “They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I
commanded them. They have made themselves a moulded calf, and have
bowed themselves to it and slaughtered to it, and said, ‘This is your mighty
one, O Yisra’ĕl, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!’ ”
Exod 32:9 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “I have seen this people, and see, it is a
stiff-necked people!
Exod 32:10 “And now, let Me alone, that My wrath might burn against them
and I consume them and I make of you a great nation.”
Exod 32:11 But Mosheh pleaded with יהוה his Elohim, and said, “ יהוה, why
does Your wrath burn against Your people whom You have brought out of the
land of Mitsrayim with great power and with a strong hand?
Exod 32:12 “Why should the Mitsrites speak, and say, ‘For evil He brought
them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of
the earth’? Turn from the heat of Your wrath, and relent from this evil to Your
people.
Exod 32:13 “Remember Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, Your servants, to
whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, ‘I increase your seed like the
stars of the heavens. And all this land that I have spoken of I give to your
seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’ ”
Exod 32:14 And יהוה relented from the evil which He said He would do to
His people.
Exod 32:15 And Mosheh turned and went down from the mountain, and in
his hand were the two tablets of the Witness, tablets written on both their
sides, written on the one and on the other.
Exod 32:16 And the tablets were the work of Elohim, and the writing was
the writing of Elohim engraved on the tablets.
Exod 32:17 And Yehoshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted and
he said to Mosheh, “A noise of battle in the camp!”
Exod 32:18 But he said, “It is not the sound of those who shout of might, nor
is it the sound of those who cry out in weakness, but the sound of singing that
I hear.”
Exod 32:19 And it came to be, as soon as he came near the camp, that he
saw the calf and the dancing. And Mosheh’s displeasure burned, and he
threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
Exod 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the
fire, and ground it into powder, and scattered it on the face of the water and
made the children of Yisra’ĕl drink it.
Exod 32:21 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “What did this people do to you
that you have brought so great a sin upon them?”
Exod 32:22 And Aharon said, “Do not let the displeasure of my master burn.
You know the people, that it is in evil.
Exod 32:23 “And they said to me, ‘Make us mighty ones who go before us.
For this Mosheh, the man who brought us out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do
not know what has become of him.’
Exod 32:24 “And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let them take it off.’
And they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
Exod 32:25 And Mosheh saw that the people were let loose, for Aharon had
let them loose, to their shame among their enemies.
Exod 32:26 And Mosheh stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Who
? יהוה is for Come to me.” And all the sons of Lĕwi gathered themselves to
him.
Exod 32:27 And he said to them, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl: ‘Each
one put his sword on his side, pass over to and fro from gate to gate in the
camp, and each one slay his brother, and each one his friend, and each one
his relative.’ ”
Exod 32:28 And the sons of Lĕwi did according to the word of Mosheh. And
about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
Exod 32:29 And Mosheh said, “You are ordained for יהוה today – since each
one has been against his son and his brother – so as to bring upon you a
blessing today.”
Exod 32:30 And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh said to the
people, “You, you have sinned a great sin. And now I am going up to  יהוה– if
I might atone for your sin.”
Exod 32:31 And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, “Oh, these people have
sinned a great sin, and have made for themselves a mighty one of gold!
Exod 32:32 “And now, if You would forgive their sin, but if not, please blot
me out of Your book which You have written.”
Exod 32:33 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I
blot him out of My book.
Exod 32:34 “And now, go, lead the people to the place of which I have
spoken to you. See, My Messenger goes before you. And in the day of My
visitation I shall visit their sin upon them.”
Exod 32:35 And יהוה plagued the people because they made the calf, which
Aharon made.
