Moses

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,

He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.

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

Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier's voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,

These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest:

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:

And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:

They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold, and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary: The Holy of the Lord:

So all the work of the tabernacle and of the roof of the testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which the Lord had commanded Moses.

And they offered the tabernacle, and the roof, and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars and their sockets,

The cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,

The children of Israel offered, as the Lord had commanded.

And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,

And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.

And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord.

Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.

And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And the altar of holocaust in the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.
