Day 100 and 15.
then make another altar of Acacia wood for burning incense.
Make it 18 inches square and 36 inches high with horns at the corner's, carved
from the same piece of wood as the altar itself, overlay the top sides and horns
of the altar with pure gold and run a gold molding around the entire altar.
Make two gold rings and attach them on opposite sides of the altar below the
gold molding to hold the carrying poles.
Make the poles of a Keisha wood and overlay them with gold.
Place the incense altar just outside the inner curtain that shields the
ark of the covenant in front of the ark's cover the place of atonement
that covers the tablets, inscribed with the terms of the covenant.
I will meet you there.
Every morning when Aaron maintains the lamps, he must burn fragrant incense
on the altar, and each evening when he lights the lamps, he must again
burn incense in the Lord's presence.
This must be done from generation to generation.
Do not offer any unholy incense on this altar or any burnt offerings,
grain offerings, or liquid offerings.
Once a year, Aaron must purify the altar by smearing its horns with
blood from the offering made to purify the people from their sin.
This will be a regular annual event from generation to generation for
this is the Lord's most holy altar.
Then the Lord said to Moses, Whenever you take a census of the people of
Israel, each man who is counted must pay a ransom for himself to the Lord.
Then no plague will strike the people as you count them.
Each person who is counted must give a small piece of silver as
a sacred offering to the Lord.
This payment is half a shekel based on the sanctuary shekel, which equals 20 g.
All who have reached their 20th birthday must give this
sacred offering to the Lord.
When this offering is given to the Lord to purify your lives, making
you right with him, the rich must not give more than the specified amount,
and the poor must not give less.
Receive this ransom money from the Israelites and use it for
the care of the tabernacle.
It will bring the Israelites to the Lord's attention and it will purify your lives.
Then the Lord said to Moses, make a bronze wash basin with a bronze stand.
Place it between the tabernacle and the altar and fill it with water.
Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and feet there.
They must wash with water whenever they go into the tabernacle to appear before the
Lord, and when they approach the altar to burn up their special gifts to the Lord
or they will die, they must always wash their hands and feet or they will die.
This is a permanent law for Aaron and his descendants to be observed
from generation to generation.
Then the Lord said to Moses, collect choice spices.
12 and a half pounds of pure meh.
Six and a quarter pounds of fragrant cinnamon.
Six and a quarter pounds of fragrant calamus, and 12 and a
half pounds of cascia as measured by the weight of the sanctuary.
Sheckle also get one gallon of olive oil, like a skilled incense maker.
Blend these ingredients to make a holy anointing oil.
Use this sacred oil to anoint the tabernacle, the arc of the covenant,
the table and all its utensils, the lamp stand and all its accessories.
The incense altar, the altar of burnt offering, and all its utensils and the
wash basin with its stand, consecrate them to make them absolutely holy.
After this, whatever touches them will also become holy.
Anoint.
Aaron and his sons also consecrating them to serve me as priests and say to the
people of Israel, this holy anointing.
Oil is reserved for me from generation to generation.
It must never be used to anoint anyone else, and you must never make
any blend like it for yourselves.
It is holy and you must treat it as holy.
Anyone who makes a blend like it or anoints someone other than a priest
will be cut off from the community.
Then the Lord said to Moses, gather fragrant spices.
Resin droplets, Mok, shell and galban, and mix these fragrant spices
with pure frankincense weighed out in equal amounts using the usual
techniques of the incense maker.
Blend the spices together and sprinkle them with salt to
produce a pure and holy incense.
Grind some of the mixture into a very fine powder and put it in front
of the Ark of the Covenant where I will meet with you in the tabernacle.
You must treat this instance as most holy.
Never use this formula to make this instance for yourselves.
It is reserved for the Lord and you must treat it as holy.
Anyone who makes incense like this for personal use will be
cut off from the community.
Then the Lord said to Moses.
Look, I have specifically chosen Beel son of your eye, grandson
of her, of the tribe of Judah.
I have filled him with the spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability,
and expertise in all kinds of crafts.
He is a master craftsman expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.
He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving
wood, he is a master at every craft.
I have personally appointed a holy AB son of Ishak, of the
tribe of Dan to be his assistant.
Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so
they can make all the things I have commanded you to make the tabernacle,
the ark of the Covenant, the arks cover, the place of atonement, all
the furnishings of the tabernacle.
The table and its utensils.
The pure gold lamp stand with all its accessories.
The incense altar, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils,
the wash basin with its stand, the beautifully stitched garments, the
sacred garments for Aaron, the priest, and the garments for his sons to
wear as they minister as priests.
The anointing oil, the fragrant incense for the holy place.
The craftsman must make everything as I have commanded you.
The Lord then gave these instructions to Moses.
Tell the people of Israel be careful to keep.
My Sabbath day for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and
you from generation to generation.
It is given so you may know that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
You must keep the Sabbath day for it is a holy day for you.
Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death.
Anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community.
You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day
must be a Sabbath day of complete rest.
A holy day dedicated to the Lord.
Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.
The people of Israel must keep the Sabbath day by observing it
from generation to generation.
This is a covenant obligation for all time.
It is a permanent sign of my covenant with the people of Israel.
For in six days, the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day,
he stopped working and was refreshed.
When the Lord finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two stone
tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant written by the finger of God.
