Exodus

"The Sum of the Tabernacle"

038:021 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

038:022 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

038:023 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

038:024 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

038:025 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

038:026 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

038:027 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

038:028 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.

038:029 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

038:030 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,

038:031 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

The Making of the Priests' Clothes

039:001 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

039:002 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

039:003 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.

039:004 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

039:005 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

039:006 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

039:007 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

039:008 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

039:009 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

039:010 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

039:011 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

039:012 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

039:013 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

039:014 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

039:015 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.

039:016 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

039:017 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

039:018 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

039:019 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.

039:020 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

039:021 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

039:022 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

039:023 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

039:024 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

039:025 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

039:026 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

039:027 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

039:028 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

039:029 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

039:030 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO YAHWEH.

039:031 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

The Tabernacle is Completed!

039:032 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so did they.

039:033 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,

039:034 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,

039:035 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

039:036 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

039:037 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

039:038 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

039:039 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

039:040 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

039:041 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.

039:042 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.

039:043 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as Yahweh had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

Setting Up the Tabernacle

040:001 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,

040:002 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

040:003 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

040:004 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

040:005 And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

040:006 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

040:007 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

040:008 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

040:009 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

040:010 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

040:011 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

040:012 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

040:013 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

040:014 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

040:015 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

040:016 Thus did Moses: according to all that Yahweh commanded him, so did he.

040:017 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

040:018 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

040:019 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

040:020 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

040:021 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

040:022 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

040:023 And he set the bread in order upon it before Yahweh; as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

040:024 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

040:025 And he lighted the lamps before Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

040:026 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

040:027 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

040:028 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

040:029 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

040:030 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

040:031 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

040:032 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

040:033 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

The Glory of Yahweh Fills the Tabernacle

040:034 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.

 - Revelation 15:8
015:008 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

040:035 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.

040:036 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

040:037 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

040:038 For the cloud of Yahweh was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
