Sinai & The Law

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses spake to them.

And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

But when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the words which Jehovah hath commanded, that ye should do them.

Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death.

Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah commanded, saying,

Take ye from among you an offering unto Jehovah; whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, Jehovah’s offering: gold, and silver, and brass,

and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood,

and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

and onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that Jehovah hath commanded:

the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

the ark, and the staves thereof, the mercy-seat, and the veil of the screen;

the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the showbread;

the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light;

and the altar of incense, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;

the altar of burnt-offering, with its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;
