Exodus 35

1Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do.

2Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.

3You shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day.”

4Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the LORD has commanded.

5Take from among you a contribution to the LORD. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the LORD's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze;

6blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats' hair,

7tanned rams' skins, and goatskins; acacia wood,

8oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

9and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.

10“Let every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the LORD has commanded:

11the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;

12the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil of the screen;

13the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;

14the lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light;

15and the altar of incense, with its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;

16the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand;

17the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court;

18the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their cords;

19the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests.”

20Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

21And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, and brought the LORD's contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.

22So they came, both men and women. All who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and armlets, all sorts of gold objects, every man dedicating an offering of gold to the LORD.

23And every one who possessed blue or purple or scarlet yarns or fine linen or goats' hair or tanned rams' skins or goatskins brought them.

24Everyone who could make a contribution of silver or bronze brought it as the LORD's contribution. And every one who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work brought it.

25And every skillful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.

26All the women whose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats' hair.

27And the leaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastpiece,

28and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

29All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the LORD had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the LORD.

30Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship,

32to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze,

33in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft.

34And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.

35He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver — by any sort of workman or skilled designer.

Exodus 36

1“Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the LORD has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.”

2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the LORD had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work.

3And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning,

4so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing,

5and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do.”

6So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing,

7for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.

8And all the craftsmen among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked.

9The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains were the same size.

10He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.

11He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set. Likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.

12He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.

13And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps. So the tabernacle was a single whole.

14He also made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains.

15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains were the same size.

16He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other connecting curtain.

18And he made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together that it might be a single whole.

19And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins.

20Then he made the upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.

21Ten cubits was the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.

22Each frame had two tenons for fitting together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.

23The frames for the tabernacle he made thus: twenty frames for the south side.

24And he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons.

25For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames

26and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame and two bases under the next frame.

27For the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six frames.

28He made two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear.

29And they were separate beneath but joined at the top, at the first ring. He made two of them this way for the two corners.

30There were eight frames with their bases of silver: sixteen bases, under every frame two bases.

31He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,

32and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle at the rear westward.

33And he made the middle bar to run from end to end halfway up the frames.

34And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35He made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; with cherubim skillfully worked into it he made it.

36And for it he made four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four bases of silver.

37He also made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework,

38and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze.

Exodus 37

1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it.

3And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side.

4And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold

5and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.

6And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.

7And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat,

8one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends.

9The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.

10He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it.

12And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim.

13He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

14Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table.

15He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold.

16And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings.

17He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it.

18And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it;

19three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch — so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

20And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers,

21and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it.

22Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold.

23And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold.

24He made it and all its utensils out of a talent of pure gold.

25He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth was a cubit. It was square, and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it.

26He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it,

27and made two rings of gold on it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles with which to carry it.

28And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

29He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer.

Exodus 38

1He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. Five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth. It was square, and three cubits was its height.

2He made horns for it on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

3And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze.

4And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down.

5He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles.

6He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, with boards.

8He made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered in the entrance of the tent of meeting.

9And he made the court. For the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;

10their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

11And for the north side there were hangings of a hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

12And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars, and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

13And for the front to the east, fifty cubits.

14The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases.

15And so for the other side. On both sides of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases.

16All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen.

17And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. The overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.

18And the screen for the gate of the court was embroidered with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It was twenty cubits long and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

19And their pillars were four in number. Their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.

20And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court all around were of bronze.

21These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

22Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses;

23and with him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer and embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.

24All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and 730 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary.

25The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary:

26a beka a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone who was listed in the records, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men.

27The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent a base.

28And of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them.

29The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels;

30with it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar,

31the bases around the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.

Exodus 39

1From the blue and purple and scarlet yarns they made finely woven garments, for ministering in the Holy Place. They made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

2He made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.

3And they hammered out gold leaf, and he cut it into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet yarns, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled design.

4They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges.

5And the skillfully woven band on it was of one piece with it and made like it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

6They made the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold filigree, and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.

7And he set them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

8He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, in the style of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.

9It was square. They made the breastpiece doubled, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled.

10And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row;

11and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.

14There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel. They were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.

15And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold.

16And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.

17And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.

18They attached the two ends of the two cords to the two settings of filigree. Thus they attached it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod.

19Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.

20And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

21And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it should lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

22He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue,

23and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment, with a binding around the opening, so that it might not tear.

24On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.

25They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates —

26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

27They also made the coats, woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons,

28and the turban of fine linen, and the caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twined linen,

29and the sash of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, embroidered with needlework, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engraving of a signet, “Holy to the LORD.”

31And they tied to it a cord of blue to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

33Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its utensils, its hooks, its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;

34the covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins, and the veil of the screen;

35the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;

36the table with all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;

37the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;

38the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the entrance of the tent;

39the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin and its stand;

40the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

41the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for their service as priests.

42According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work.

43And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them.

Exodus 40

1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2“On the first day of the first month you shall erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

4And you shall bring in the table and arrange it, and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5And you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

6You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

7and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8And you shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.

9“Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it may become holy.

10You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, so that the altar may become most holy.

11You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.

12Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water

13and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.

14You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them,

15and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.”

16This Moses did; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.

17In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

18Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars.

19And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

20He took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark.

21And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

22He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,

23and arranged the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

24He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,

25and set up the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

26He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,

27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

28He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

29And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,

31with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.

32When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.

33And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

34Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

36Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.

37But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up.

38For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.

Leviticus 1

1The LORD called Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying,

2“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of livestock from the herd or from the flock.

3“If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.

4He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5Then he shall kill the bull before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall bring the blood and throw the blood against the sides of the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

6Then he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into pieces,

7and the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

8And Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat, on the wood that is on the fire on the altar;

9but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn all of it on the altar, as a burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

10“If his gift for a burnt offering is from the flock, from the sheep or goats, he shall bring a male without blemish,

11and he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall throw its blood against the sides of the altar.

12And he shall cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood that is on the fire on the altar,

13but the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

14“If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or pigeons.

15And the priest shall bring it to the altar and wring off its head and burn it on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.

16He shall remove its crop with its contents and cast it beside the altar on the east side, in the place for ashes.

17He shall tear it open by its wings, but shall not sever it completely. And the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

Leviticus 2

1“When anyone brings a grain offering as an offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it

2and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests. And he shall take from it a handful of the fine flour and oil, with all of its frankincense, and the priest shall burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

3But the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the LORD's food offerings.

4“When you bring a grain offering baked in the oven as an offering, it shall be unleavened loaves of fine flour mixed with oil or unleavened wafers smeared with oil.

5And if your offering is a grain offering baked on a griddle, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mixed with oil.

6You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.

7And if your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

8And you shall bring the grain offering that is made of these things to the LORD, and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar.

9And the priest shall take from the grain offering its memorial portion and burn this on the altar, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

10But the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the LORD's food offerings.

11“No grain offering that you bring to the LORD shall be made with leaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey as a food offering to the LORD.

12As an offering of firstfruits you may bring them to the LORD, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a pleasing aroma.

13You shall season all your grain offerings with salt. You shall not let the salt of the covenant with your God be missing from your grain offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt.

14“If you offer a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits fresh ears, roasted with fire, crushed new grain.

15And you shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

16And the priest shall burn as its memorial portion some of the crushed grain and some of the oil with all of its frankincense; it is a food offering to the LORD.

Leviticus 3

1“If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers an animal from the herd, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.

2And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and kill it at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and Aaron's sons the priests shall throw the blood against the sides of the altar.

3And from the sacrifice of the peace offering, as a food offering to the LORD, he shall offer the fat covering the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

4and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys.

5Then Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar on top of the burnt offering, which is on the wood on the fire; it is a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

6“If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD is an animal from the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

7If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the LORD,

8lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it in front of the tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons shall throw its blood against the sides of the altar.

9Then from the sacrifice of the peace offering he shall offer as a food offering to the LORD its fat; he shall remove the whole fat tail, cut off close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails

10and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys.

11And the priest shall burn it on the altar as a food offering to the LORD.

12“If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD

13and lay his hand on its head and kill it in front of the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aaron shall throw its blood against the sides of the altar.

14Then he shall offer from it, as his offering for a food offering to the LORD, the fat covering the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails

15and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys.

16And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering with a pleasing aroma. All fat is the LORD's.

17It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.”

Leviticus 4

1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If anyone sins unintentionally in any of the LORD's commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them,

3if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull from the herd without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering.

4He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD and lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before the LORD.

5And the anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting,

6and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle part of the blood seven times before the LORD in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

7And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the LORD that is in the tent of meeting, and all the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

8And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall remove from it, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails

9and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys

10(just as these are taken from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings); and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11But the skin of the bull and all its flesh, with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung —

12all the rest of the bull — he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap, and shall burn it up on a fire of wood. On the ash heap it shall be burned up.

13“If the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the LORD's commandments ought not to be done, and they realize their guilt,

14when the sin which they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a bull from the herd for a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting.

15And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be killed before the LORD.

16Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the tent of meeting,

17and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.

18And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is in the tent of meeting before the LORD, and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

19And all its fat he shall take from it and burn on the altar.

20Thus shall he do with the bull. As he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this. And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21And he shall carry the bull outside the camp and burn it up as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.

22“When a leader sins, doing unintentionally any one of all the things that by the commandments of the LORD his God ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt,

23or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish,

24and shall lay his hand on the head of the goat and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD; it is a sin offering.

25Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26And all its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27“If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the LORD's commandments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt,

28or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.

29And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

30And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

31And all its fat he shall remove, as the fat is removed from the peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the LORD. And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32“If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish

33and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

34Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

35And all its fat he shall remove as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on top of the LORD's food offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.

Leviticus 5

1“If anyone sins in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, and though he is a witness, whether he has seen or come to know the matter, yet does not speak, he shall bear his iniquity;

2or if anyone touches an unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean wild animal or a carcass of unclean livestock or a carcass of unclean swarming things, and it is hidden from him and he has become unclean, and he realizes his guilt;

3or if he touches human uncleanness, of whatever sort the uncleanness may be with which one becomes unclean, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it, and realizes his guilt;

4or if anyone utters with his lips a rash oath to do evil or to do good, any sort of rash oath that people swear, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it, and he realizes his guilt in any of these;

5when he realizes his guilt in any of these and confesses the sin he has committed,

6he shall bring to the LORD as his compensation for the sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.

7“But if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the LORD as his compensation for the sin that he has committed two turtledoves or two pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

8He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering. He shall wring its head from its neck but shall not sever it completely,

9and he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering.

10Then he shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to the rule. And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.

11“But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for the sin that he has committed a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it and shall put no frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

12And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take a handful of it as its memorial portion and burn this on the altar, on the LORD's food offerings; it is a sin offering.

13Thus the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed in any one of these things, and he shall be forgiven. And the remainder shall be for the priest, as in the grain offering.”

14The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

15“If anyone commits a breach of faith and sins unintentionally in any of the holy things of the LORD, he shall bring to the LORD as his compensation, a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued in silver shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering.

16He shall also make restitution for what he has done amiss in the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give it to the priest. And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.

17“If anyone sins, doing any of the things that by the LORD's commandments ought not to be done, though he did not know it, then realizes his guilt, he shall bear his iniquity.

18He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for the mistake that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.

19It is a guilt offering; he has indeed incurred guilt before the LORD.”

Leviticus 6

1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2“If anyone sins and commits a breach of faith against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or if he has oppressed his neighbor

3or has found something lost and lied about it, swearing falsely — in any of all the things that people do and sin thereby —

4if he has sinned and has realized his guilt and will restore what he took by robbery or what he got by oppression or the deposit that was committed to him or the lost thing that he found

5or anything about which he has sworn falsely, he shall restore it in full and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs on the day he realizes his guilt.

6And he shall bring to the priest as his compensation to the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering.

7And the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he shall be forgiven for any of the things that one may do and thereby become guilty.”

8The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

9“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.

10And the priest shall put on his linen garment and put his linen undergarment on his body, and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar and put them beside the altar.

11Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

12The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. The priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.

13Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.

14“And this is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD in front of the altar.

15And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and its oil and all the frankincense that is on the grain offering and burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

16And the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten unleavened in a holy place. In the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.

17It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my food offerings. It is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.

18Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as decreed forever throughout your generations, from the LORD's food offerings. Whatever touches them shall become holy.”

19The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

20“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

21It shall be made with oil on a griddle. You shall bring it well mixed, in baked pieces like a grain offering, and offer it for a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

22The priest from among Aaron's sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the LORD as decreed forever. The whole of it shall be burned.

23Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”

24The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

25“Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering. In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD; it is most holy.

26The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.

27Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy, and when any of its blood is splashed on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was splashed in a holy place.

28And the earthenware vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken. But if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured and rinsed in water.

29Every male among the priests may eat of it; it is most holy.

30But no sin offering shall be eaten from which any blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it shall be burned up with fire.

Leviticus 7

1“This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy.

2In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the guilt offering, and its blood shall be thrown against the sides of the altar.

3And all its fat shall be offered, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,

4the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys.

5The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

6Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

7The guilt offering is just like the sin offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.

8And the priest who offers any man's burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered.

9And every grain offering baked in the oven and all that is prepared on a pan or a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it.

10And every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall be shared equally among all the sons of Aaron.

11“And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may offer to the LORD.

12If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of fine flour well mixed with oil.

13With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving he shall bring his offering with loaves of leavened bread.

14And from it he shall offer one loaf from each offering, as a gift to the LORD. It shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the peace offerings.

15And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.

16But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow offering or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten.

17But what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned up with fire.

18If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten on the third day, he who offers it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be credited to him. It is tainted, and he who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

19“Flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned up with fire. All who are clean may eat flesh,

20but the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the LORD's peace offerings while an uncleanness is on him, that person shall be cut off from his people.

21And if anyone touches an unclean thing, whether human uncleanness or an unclean beast or any unclean detestable creature, and then eats some flesh from the sacrifice of the LORD's peace offerings, that person shall be cut off from his people.”

22The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

23“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, You shall eat no fat, of ox or sheep or goat.

24The fat of an animal that dies of itself and the fat of one that is torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but on no account shall you eat it.

25For every person who eats of the fat of an animal of which a food offering may be made to the LORD shall be cut off from his people.

26Moreover, you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwelling places.

27Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.”

28The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

29“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30His own hands shall bring the LORD's food offerings. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the LORD.

31The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

32And the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifice of your peace offerings.

33Whoever among the sons of Aaron offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh for a portion.

34For the breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed I have taken from the people of Israel, out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a perpetual due from the people of Israel.

35This is the portion of Aaron and of his sons from the LORD's food offerings, from the day they were presented to serve as priests of the LORD.

36The LORD commanded this to be given them by the people of Israel, from the day that he anointed them. It is a perpetual due throughout their generations.”

37This is the law of the burnt offering, of the grain offering, of the sin offering, of the guilt offering, of the ordination offering, and of the peace offering,

38which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the people of Israel to bring their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.

Leviticus 8

1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread.

3And assemble all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.”

4And Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

5And Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing that the LORD has commanded to be done.”

6And Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

7And he put the coat on him and tied the sash around his waist and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him and tied the skillfully woven band of the ephod around him, binding it to him with the band.

8And he placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim.

9And he set the turban on his head, and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown, as the LORD commanded Moses.

10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.

11And he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its utensils and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.

12And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to consecrate him.

13And Moses brought Aaron's sons and clothed them with coats and tied sashes around their waists and bound caps on them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

14Then he brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

15And he killed it, and Moses took the blood, and with his finger put it on the horns of the altar around it and purified the altar and poured out the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it to make atonement for it.

16And he took all the fat that was on the entrails and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar.

17But the bull and its skin and its flesh and its dung he burned up with fire outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses.

18Then he presented the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19And he killed it, and Moses threw the blood against the sides of the altar.

20He cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burned the head and the pieces and the fat.

21He washed the entrails and the legs with water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering with a pleasing aroma, a food offering for the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

22Then he presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

23And he killed it, and Moses took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

24Then he presented Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses threw the blood against the sides of the altar.

25Then he took the fat and the fat tail and all the fat that was on the entrails and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat and the right thigh,

26and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD he took one unleavened loaf and one loaf of bread with oil and one wafer and placed them on the pieces of fat and on the right thigh.

27And he put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons and waved them as a wave offering before the LORD.

28Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering with a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

29And Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, as the LORD commanded Moses.

30Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and also on his sons and his sons' garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

31And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’

32And what remains of the flesh and the bread you shall burn up with fire.

33And you shall not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for it will take seven days to ordain you.

34As has been done today, the LORD has commanded to be done to make atonement for you.

35At the entrance of the tent of meeting you shall remain day and night for seven days, performing what the LORD has charged, so that you do not die, for so I have been commanded.”

36And Aaron and his sons did all the things that the LORD commanded by Moses.
