And when Moses came down from the Mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.

And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord on Mount Sinai.

But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.

And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.

And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done:

Six days you shall do work; the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death.

And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:

Set aside with you firstfruits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,

Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded:

Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was necessary to the service and to the holy vestments,

Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.

Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses.

All, both men and women, with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.

And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold, the Lord hath called by name Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Juda,

And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge, and all learning,

He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan:

Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters' work, and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.

Beseleel therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.

And when Moses had called them, and every skilful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,

Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.

Which Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda, had made, as the Lord commanded by Moses.

And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.

And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:
