Sinai & The Law

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write for thyself these words, for, according to the tenor of these words I have made with thee a covenant, and with Israel.'

And he is there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk; and he writeth on the tables the matters of the covenant--the ten matters.

And it cometh to pass, when Moses is coming down from mount Sinai (and the two tables of the testimony are in the hand of Moses in his coming down from the mount), that Moses hath not known that the skin of his face hath shone in His speaking with him,

and Aaron seeth--all the sons of Israel also--Moses, and lo, the skin of his face hath shone, and they are afraid of coming nigh unto him.

And Moses calleth unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the company return unto him, and Moses speaketh unto them;

and afterwards have all the sons of Israel come nigh, and he chargeth them with all that Jehovah hath spoken with him in mount Sinai.

And Moses finisheth speaking with them, and putteth on his face a vail;

and in the going in of Moses before Jehovah to speak with Him, he turneth aside the vail until his coming out; and he hath come out and hath spoken unto the sons of Israel that which he is commanded;

and the sons of Israel have seen the face of Moses that the skin of the face of Moses hath shone, and Moses hath put back the vail on his face until his going in to speak with Him.

And Moses assembleth all the company of the sons of Israel, and saith unto them, `These are the things which Jehovah hath commanded--to do them:

Six days is work done, and on the seventh day there is to you a holy day , a sabbath of rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in it is put to death;

ye do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day.'

And Moses speaketh unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, `This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

Take ye from among you a heave-offering to Jehovah; every one whose heart is willing doth bring it, --the heave-offering of Jehovah, --gold, and silver, and brass,

and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' hair ,

and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice perfume,

and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

`And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all that Jehovah hath commanded:

`The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,

`The ark and its staves, the mercy-seat, and the vail of the covering,

`The table and its staves, and all its vessels, and the bread of the presence,

`And the candlestick for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,

`And the altar of perfume, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the spice perfume, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the tabernacle,

`The altar of burnt-offering and the brazen grate which it hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
