Bible in 90 Days Plan

¹Moses assembled all the congregation of the Israelites and said to them: These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

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

³You shall kindle no fire in all your dwellings on the sabbath day.

⁴Moses said to all the congregation of the Israelites: This is the thing that the LORD has commanded:

⁵Take from among you an offering to the LORD; let whoever is of a generous heart bring the LORD’s offering: gold, silver, and bronze;

⁶blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine linen; goats’ hair,

⁷tanned rams’ skins, and fine leather; acacia wood,

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

⁹and onyx stones and gems to be set in the ephod and the breastpiece.

¹⁰All who are skillful among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded: the tabernacle,

¹¹its tent and its covering, its clasps and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;

¹²the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the curtain for 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 entrance, the entrance of the tabernacle;

¹⁶the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin with 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 vestments for ministering in the holy place, the holy vestments for the priest Aaron, and the vestments of his sons, for their service as priests.

²⁰Then all the congregation of the Israelites withdrew from the presence of Moses.

²¹And they came, everyone whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and brought the LORD’s offering to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the sacred vestments.

²²So they came, both men and women; all who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and pendants, all sorts of gold objects, everyone bringing an offering of gold to the LORD.

²³And everyone who possessed blue or purple or crimson yarn or fine linen or goats’ hair or tanned rams’ skins or fine leather, brought them.

²⁴Everyone who could make an offering of silver or bronze brought it as the LORD’s offering; and everyone who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work, brought it.

²⁵All the skillful women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun in blue and purple and crimson yarns and fine linen;

²⁶all the women whose hearts moved them to use their skill spun the goats’ hair.

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

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

²⁹All the Israelite men and women whose hearts made them willing 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 Israelites: See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

³¹he has filled him with divine spirit, with skill, intelligence, and knowledge in every kind of craft,

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

³³in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, in every kind of craft.

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

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

¹Bezalel and Oholiab and every skillful one to whom the LORD has given skill and understanding to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.

²Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skillful one to whom the LORD had given skill, everyone whose heart was stirred to come to do the work;

³and they received from Moses all the freewill offerings that the Israelites had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning,

⁴so that all the artisans who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task being performed,

⁵and said to Moses, “The people are bringing 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: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing;

⁷for what they had already brought was more than enough to do all the work.

⁸All those with skill among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains; they were made of fine twisted linen, and blue, purple, and crimson yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked into them.

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

¹⁰He joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he joined 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 joined the curtains one to the other with clasps; so the tabernacle was one 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 width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains were of the same size.

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

¹⁷He 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.

¹⁸He made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent together so that it might be one whole.

¹⁹And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and an outer covering of fine leather.

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 width of each frame.

²²Each frame had two pegs for fitting together; he did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.

²³The frames for the tabernacle he made in this way: twenty frames for the south side;

²⁴and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames, two bases under the first frame for its two pegs, and two bases under the next frame for its two pegs.

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

²⁶and their forty bases of silver, two bases under the first 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.

²⁹They were separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring; he made two of them in 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.

³³He made the middle bar to pass through from end to end halfway up the frames.

³⁴And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made rings of gold for them to hold the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

³⁵He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

³⁶For 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 to the tent, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with needlework;

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

¹Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; it was two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

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

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

⁴He 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.

⁶He made a mercy seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its width.

⁷He made two cherubim of hammered gold; at the two ends of the mercy seat he made them,

⁸one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim at its two ends.

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

¹⁰He also made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.

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

¹²He made around it a rim 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.

¹⁴The rings that held the poles used for carrying the table were close to the rim.

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. The base and the shaft of the lampstand were made of hammered work; its cups, its calyxes, and its petals were of one piece with it.

¹⁸There 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 shaped like almond blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on the other branch — so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

²⁰On the lampstand itself there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its calyxes and petals.

²¹There was a calyx of one piece with it under the first pair of branches, a calyx of one piece with it under the next pair of branches, and a calyx of one piece with it under the last pair of branches.

²²Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it, the whole of it one hammered piece of pure gold.

²³He made its seven lamps and its snuffers and its trays of pure gold.

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

²⁵He made the altar of incense of acacia wood, one cubit long, and one cubit wide; it was square, and was two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it.

²⁶He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made for it a molding of gold all around,

²⁷and made two golden rings for it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, to hold 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.

¹He made the altar of burnt offering also of acacia wood; it was five cubits long, and five cubits wide; it was square, and three cubits high.

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

³He made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans: all its utensils he made of bronze.

⁴He 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 to hold 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 with its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

⁹He made the court; for the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twisted linen, one hundred cubits long;

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

¹¹For the north side there were hangings one hundred cubits long; its twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

¹²For the west side there were hangings fifty cubits long, with ten pillars and ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

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

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

¹⁵And so for the other side; on each side of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases.

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

¹⁷The bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver; the overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were banded with silver.

¹⁸The screen for the entrance to the court was embroidered with needlework in blue, purple, and crimson yarns and fine twisted linen. It was twenty cubits long and, along the width of it, five cubits high, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

¹⁹There were four pillars; their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their bands of silver.

²⁰All 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 covenant, which were drawn up at the commandment of Moses, the work of the Levites being under the direction of Ithamar son of the priest Aaron.

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

²³and with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and in fine 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 seven hundred thirty shekels, measured by the sanctuary shekel.

²⁵The silver from those of the congregation who were counted was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, measured by the sanctuary shekel;

²⁶a beka a head (that is, half a shekel, measured by the sanctuary shekel), for everyone who was counted in the census, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand, five hundred fifty men.

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

²⁸Of the thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals and made bands for them.

²⁹The bronze that was contributed was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred 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 all 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.

¹Of the blue, purple, and crimson yarns they made finely worked vestments, for ministering in the holy place; they made the sacred vestments for Aaron; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²He made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen.

³Gold leaf was hammered out and cut into threads to work into the blue, purple, and crimson yarns and into the fine twisted linen, in skilled design.

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

⁵The decorated band on it was of the same materials and workmanship, of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

⁷He 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, like the work of the ephod, of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen.

⁹It was square; the breastpiece was made double, a span in length and a span in width when doubled.

¹⁰They set in it four rows of stones. A row of carnelian, chrysolite, and emerald was the first row;

¹¹and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a moonstone;

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 names corresponding to the names of the sons of Israel; they were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.

¹⁵They made on the breastpiece chains of pure gold, twisted like cords;

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.

¹⁸Two ends of the two cords they had attached to the two settings of filigree; in this way 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.

²⁰They made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at its joining above the decorated band of the ephod.

²¹They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it should lie on the decorated 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 yarn;

²³and the opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening in a coat of mail, with a binding around the opening, so that it might not be torn.

²⁴On the lower hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen.

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

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

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

²⁸and the turban of fine linen, and the headdresses of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen,

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

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

³¹They tied to it a blue cord, to fasten it on the turban above; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

³²In this way all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished; the Israelites had done everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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 the covering of fine leather, and the curtain for the screen;

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

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

³⁷the pure lampstand with its lamps set on it 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 with 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 vestments for ministering in the holy place, the sacred vestments for the priest Aaron, and the vestments of his sons to serve as priests.

⁴²The Israelites had done all of the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

⁴³When Moses saw that they had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded, he blessed them.

¹The LORD spoke to Moses:

²On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

³You shall put in it the ark of the covenant, and you shall screen the ark with the curtain.

⁴You shall bring in the table, and arrange its setting; and you shall bring in the lampstand, and set up its lamps.

⁵You shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and set up the screen for the entrance of the tabernacle.

⁶You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the entrance 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.

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

⁹Then 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 shall become holy.

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

¹¹You shall also anoint the basin with 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 sacred vestments, and you shall anoint him and consecrate him, so that he may serve me as priest.

¹⁴You shall bring his sons also and put tunics 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 all generations to come.

¹⁶Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.

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

¹⁸Moses set up 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 covenant and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark, and set the mercy seat above the ark;

²¹and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the curtain for screening, and screened the ark of the covenant; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

²³and set the bread in order 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 curtain,

²⁷and offered fragrant incense on it; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁸He also put in place the screen for the entrance of the tabernacle.

²⁹He 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 had commanded Moses.

³³He set up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the screen at 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.

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

³⁶Whenever the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out on each stage of their journey;

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

³⁸For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel at each stage of their journey.

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

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

³If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you shall offer a male without blemish; you shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, for acceptance in your behalf before the LORD.

⁴You shall lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be acceptable in your behalf as atonement for you.

⁵The bull shall be slaughtered before the LORD; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall offer the blood, dashing the blood against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

⁶The burnt offering shall be flayed and cut up into its parts.

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

⁸Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the parts, with the head and the suet, on the wood that is on the fire on the altar;

⁹but its entrails and its legs shall be washed with water. Then the priest shall turn the whole into smoke on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the LORD.

¹⁰If your gift for a burnt offering is from the flock, from the sheep or goats, your offering shall be a male without blemish.

¹¹It shall be slaughtered on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar.

¹²It shall be cut up into its parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood that is on the fire on the altar;

¹³but the entrails and the legs shall be washed with water. Then the priest shall offer the whole and turn it into smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the LORD.

¹⁴If your offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, you shall choose your offering from turtledoves or pigeons.

¹⁵The priest shall bring it to the altar and wring off its head, and turn it into smoke on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar.

¹⁶He shall remove its crop with its contents and throw it at the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.

¹⁷He shall tear it open by its wings without severing it. Then the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the LORD.

¹When anyone presents a grain offering to the LORD, the offering shall be of choice flour; the worshiper shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it,

²and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. After taking from it a handful of the choice flour and oil, with all its frankincense, the priest shall turn this token portion into smoke on the altar, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the LORD.

³And what is left of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy part of the offerings by fire to the LORD.

⁴When you present a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be of choice flour: unleavened cakes mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers spread with oil.

⁵If your offering is grain prepared on a griddle, it shall be of choice flour mixed with oil, unleavened;

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

⁷If your offering is grain prepared in a pan, it shall be made of choice flour in oil.

⁸You shall bring to the LORD the grain offering that is prepared in any of these ways; and when it is presented to the priest, he shall take it to the altar.

⁹The priest shall remove from the grain offering its token portion and turn this into smoke on the altar, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the LORD.

¹⁰And what is left of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings by fire to the LORD.

¹¹No grain offering that you bring to the LORD shall be made with leaven, for you must not turn any leaven or honey into smoke as an offering by fire to the LORD.

¹²You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of choice products, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a pleasing odor.

¹³You shall not omit from your grain offerings the salt of the covenant with your God; with all your offerings you shall offer salt.

¹⁴If you bring a grain offering of first fruits to the LORD, you shall bring as the grain offering of your first fruits coarse new grain from fresh ears, parched with fire.

¹⁵You shall add oil to it and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

¹⁶And the priest shall turn a token portion of it into smoke — some of the coarse grain and oil with all its frankincense; it is an offering by fire to the LORD.

¹If the offering is a sacrifice of well-being, if you offer an animal of the herd, whether male or female, you shall offer one without blemish before the LORD.

²You shall lay your hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall dash the blood against all sides of the altar.

³You shall offer from the sacrifice of well-being, as an offering by fire to the LORD, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is around the entrails;

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

⁵Then Aaron’s sons shall turn these into smoke on the altar, with the burnt offering that is on the wood on the fire, as an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the LORD.

⁶If your offering for a sacrifice of well-being to the LORD is from the flock, male or female, you shall offer one without blemish.

⁷If you present a sheep as your offering, you shall bring it before the LORD

⁸and lay your hand on the head of the offering. It shall be slaughtered before the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar.

⁹You shall present its fat from the sacrifice of well-being, as an offering by fire to the LORD: the whole broad tail, which shall be removed close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is around the entrails;

¹⁰the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver, which you shall remove with the kidneys.

¹¹Then the priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as a food offering by fire to the LORD.

¹²If your offering is a goat, you shall bring it before the LORD

¹³and lay your hand on its head; it shall be slaughtered before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar.

¹⁴You shall present as your offering from it, as an offering by fire to the LORD, the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is around the entrails;

¹⁵the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver, which you shall remove with the kidneys.

¹⁶Then the priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as a food offering by fire for a pleasing odor. All fat is the LORD’s.

¹⁷It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your settlements: you must not eat any fat or any blood.

¹The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²Speak to the people of Israel, saying: When 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, he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull of the herd without blemish as a sin offering to the LORD.

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; the bull shall be slaughtered before the LORD.

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

⁶The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.

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

⁸He shall remove all the fat from the bull of sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is around the entrails;

⁹the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins; and the appendage of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys,

¹⁰just as these are removed from the ox of the sacrifice of well-being. The priest shall turn them into smoke upon the altar of burnt offering.

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

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

¹³If the whole congregation of Israel errs unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the LORD’s commandments ought not to be done and incur guilt;

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

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

¹⁶The 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 curtain.

¹⁸He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the tent of meeting; 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.

¹⁹He shall remove all its fat and turn it into smoke on the altar.

²⁰He shall do with the bull just as is done with the bull of sin offering; he shall do the same with this. The priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

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

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

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

²⁴He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat; it shall be slaughtered at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD; it is a sin offering.

²⁵The 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.

²⁶All its fat he shall turn into smoke on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of well-being. Thus the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

²⁷If anyone of the ordinary people among you sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the LORD’s commandments ought not to be done and incurs guilt,

²⁸when the sin that you have committed is made known to you, you shall bring a female goat without blemish as your offering, for the sin that you have committed.

²⁹You shall lay your hand on the head of the sin offering; and the sin offering shall be slaughtered at the place of the burnt offering.

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

³¹He shall remove all its fat, as the fat is removed from the offering of well-being, and the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar for a pleasing odor to the LORD. Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf, and you shall be forgiven.

³²If the offering you bring as a sin offering is a sheep, you shall bring a female without blemish.

³³You shall lay your hand on the head of the sin offering; and it shall be slaughtered as a sin offering at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

³⁴The 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.

³⁵You shall remove all its fat, as the fat of the sheep is removed from the sacrifice of well-being, and the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar, with the offerings by fire to the LORD. Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for the sin that you have committed, and you shall be forgiven.

¹When any of you sin in that you have heard a public adjuration to testify and — though able to testify as one who has seen or learned of the matter — do not speak up, you are subject to punishment.

²Or when any of you touch any unclean thing — whether the carcass of an unclean beast or the carcass of unclean livestock or the carcass of an unclean swarming thing — and are unaware of it, you have become unclean, and are guilty.

³Or when you touch human uncleanness — any uncleanness by which one can become unclean — and are unaware of it, when you come to know it, you shall be guilty.

⁴Or when any of you utter aloud a rash oath for a bad or a good purpose, whatever people utter in an oath, and are unaware of it, when you come to know it, you shall in any of these be guilty.

⁵When you realize your guilt in any of these, you shall confess the sin that you have committed.

⁶And you shall bring to the LORD, as your penalty for the sin that you have committed, a female from the flock, a sheep or a goat, as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for your sin.

⁷But if you cannot afford a sheep, you shall bring to the LORD, as your penalty for the sin that you have committed, two turtledoves or two pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

⁸You shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering, wringing its head at the nape without severing it.

⁹He 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.

¹⁰And the second he shall offer for a burnt offering according to the regulation. Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for the sin that you have committed, and you shall be forgiven.

¹¹But if you cannot afford two turtledoves or two pigeons, you shall bring as your offering for the sin that you have committed one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour for a sin offering; you shall not put oil on it or lay frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

¹²You shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall scoop up a handful of it as its memorial portion, and turn this into smoke on the altar, with the offerings by fire to the LORD; it is a sin offering.

¹³Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for whichever of these sins you have committed, and you shall be forgiven. Like the grain offering, the rest shall be for the priest.

¹⁴The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁵When any of you commit a trespass and sin unintentionally in any of the holy things of the LORD, you shall bring, as your guilt offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, convertible into silver by the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.

¹⁶And you shall make restitution for the holy thing in which you were remiss, and shall add one-fifth to it and give it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement on your behalf with the ram of the guilt offering, and you shall be forgiven.

¹⁷If any of you sin without knowing it, doing any of the things that by the LORD’s commandments ought not to be done, you have incurred guilt, and are subject to punishment.

¹⁸You shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering; and the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for the error that you committed unintentionally, and you shall be forgiven.

¹⁹It is a guilt offering; you have incurred guilt before the LORD.

¹The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

²When any of you sin and commit a trespass against the LORD by deceiving a neighbor in a matter of a deposit or a pledge, or by robbery, or if you have defrauded a neighbor,

³or have found something lost and lied about it — if you swear falsely regarding any of the various things that one may do and sin thereby —

⁴when you have sinned and realize your guilt, and would restore what you took by robbery or by fraud or the deposit that was committed to you, or the lost thing that you found,

⁵or anything else about which you have sworn falsely, you shall repay the principal amount and shall add one-fifth to it. You shall pay it to its owner when you realize your guilt.

⁶And you shall bring to the priest, as your guilt offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering.

⁷The priest shall make atonement on your behalf before the LORD, and you shall be forgiven for any of the things that one may do and incur guilt thereby.

⁸The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

⁹Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the ritual of the burnt offering. The burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth upon the altar all night until the morning, while the fire on the altar shall be kept burning.

¹⁰The priest shall put on his linen vestments after putting on his linen undergarments next to his body; and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar, and place them beside the altar.

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

¹²The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it shall not go out. Every morning the priest shall add wood to it, lay out the burnt offering on it, and turn into smoke the fat pieces of the offerings of well-being.

¹³A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar; it shall not go out.

¹⁴This is the ritual of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, in front of the altar.

¹⁵They shall take from it a handful of the choice flour and oil of the grain offering, with all the frankincense that is on the offering, and they shall turn its memorial portion into smoke on the altar as a pleasing odor to the LORD.

¹⁶Aaron and his sons shall eat what is left of it; it shall be eaten as unleavened cakes 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 offerings by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.

¹⁸Every male among the descendants of Aaron shall eat of it, as their perpetual due throughout your generations, from the LORD’s offerings by fire; anything that touches them shall become holy.

¹⁹The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

²⁰This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour as a regular 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 soaked, as a grain offering of baked pieces, and you shall present it as a pleasing odor to the LORD.

²²And so the priest, anointed from among Aaron’s descendants as a successor, shall prepare it; it is the LORD’s — a perpetual due — to be turned entirely into smoke.

²³Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten.

²⁴The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

²⁵Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the ritual of the sin offering. The sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy.

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

²⁷Whatever touches its flesh shall become holy; and when any of its blood is spattered on a garment, you shall wash the bespattered part in a holy place.

²⁸An earthen vessel in which it was 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 shall 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 for atonement in the holy place; it shall be burned with fire.

¹This is the ritual of the guilt offering. It is most holy;

²at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered, they shall slaughter the guilt offering, and its blood shall be dashed against all sides of the altar.

³All its fat shall be offered: the broad tail, the fat that covers the entrails,

⁴the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver, which shall be removed with the kidneys.

⁵The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

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

⁷The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is the same ritual for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.

⁸So, too, the priest who offers anyone’s burnt offering shall keep the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered.

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

¹⁰But every other grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron equally.

¹¹This is the ritual of the sacrifice of the offering of well-being that one may offer to the LORD.

¹²If you offer it for thanksgiving, you shall offer with the thank offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of choice flour well soaked in oil.

¹³With your thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being you shall bring your offering with cakes of leavened bread.

¹⁴From this you shall offer one cake from each offering, as a gift to the LORD; it shall belong to the priest who dashes the blood of the offering of well-being.

¹⁵And the flesh of your thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being shall be eaten on the day it is offered; you shall not leave any of it until morning.

¹⁶But if the sacrifice you offer is a votive offering or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that you offer your sacrifice, and what is left of it shall be eaten the next day;

¹⁷but what is left of the flesh of the sacrifice shall be burned up on the third day.

¹⁸If any of the flesh of your sacrifice of well-being is eaten on the third day, it shall not be acceptable, nor shall it be credited to the one who offers it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall incur guilt.

¹⁹Flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned up. As for other flesh, all who are clean may eat such flesh.

²⁰But those who eat flesh from the LORD’s sacrifice of well-being while in a state of uncleanness shall be cut off from their kin.

²¹When any one of you touches any unclean thing — human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature — and then eats flesh from the LORD’s sacrifice of well-being, you shall be cut off from your kin.

²²The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

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

²⁴The fat of an animal that died or was torn by wild animals may be put to any other use, but you must not eat it.

²⁵If any one of you eats the fat from an animal of which an offering by fire may be made to the LORD, you who eat it shall be cut off from your kin.

²⁶You must not eat any blood whatever, either of bird or of animal, in any of your settlements.

²⁷Any one of you who eats any blood shall be cut off from your kin.

²⁸The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

²⁹Speak to the people of Israel, saying: Any one of you who would offer to the LORD your sacrifice of well-being must yourself bring to the LORD your offering from your sacrifice of well-being.

³⁰Your own hands shall bring the LORD’s offering by fire; you shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be raised as an elevation offering before the LORD.

³¹The priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.

³²And the right thigh from your sacrifices of well-being you shall give to the priest as an offering;

³³the one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the offering of well-being shall have the right thigh for a portion.

³⁴For I have taken the breast of the elevation offering, and the thigh that is offered, from the people of Israel, from their sacrifices of well-being, 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 allotted to Aaron and to his sons from the offerings made by fire to the LORD, once they have been brought forward to serve the LORD as priests;

³⁶these the LORD commanded to be given them, when he anointed them, as a perpetual due from the people of Israel throughout their generations.

³⁷This is the ritual of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the offering of ordination, and the sacrifice of well-being,

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

¹The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

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

³and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

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

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

⁶Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward, and washed them with water.

⁷He put the tunic on him, fastened the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He then put the decorated band of the ephod around him, tying the ephod to him with it.

⁸He 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 ornament, 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.

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

¹²He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

¹³And Moses brought forward Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with tunics, and fastened sashes around them, and tied headdresses on them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

¹⁴He led forward the bull of sin offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bull of sin offering,

¹⁵and it was slaughtered. Moses took the blood and with his finger put some on each of the horns of the altar, purifying the altar; then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar. Thus he consecrated it, to make atonement for it.

¹⁶Moses took all the fat that was around the entrails, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and turned them into smoke on the altar.

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

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

¹⁹and it was slaughtered. Moses dashed the blood against all sides of the altar.

²⁰The ram was cut into its parts, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the parts and the suet.

²¹And after the entrails and the legs were washed with water, Moses turned into smoke the whole ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering for a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

²²Then he brought forward the second ram, the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,

²³and it was slaughtered. 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.

²⁴After Aaron’s sons were brought forward, 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 dashed the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.

²⁵He took the fat — the broad tail, all the fat that was around the entrails, the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat — and the right thigh.

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

²⁷He placed all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and raised them as an elevation offering before the LORD.

²⁸Then Moses took them from their hands and turned them into smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the LORD.

²⁹Moses took the breast and raised it as an elevation 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 some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his vestments, and also on his sons and their vestments. Thus he consecrated Aaron and his vestments, and also his sons and their vestments.

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

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

³³You shall not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day when your period of ordination is 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.

³⁵You shall remain at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and night for seven days, keeping the LORD’s charge so that you do not die; for so I am commanded.”

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