had commanded Moses. And he took the testimonials and 20 put them into the ark, and set the poles to the ark, and put the lid above upon the ark. And he brought the ark into 21 the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of the covering, and concealed the ark of the testimonials; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. And he placed the table in the tent of 22 meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil. And he set the bread in order upon it before 23 Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. And he put 24 the lamp-stand in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. And he 25 put on the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. And he put the golden altar in the tent 26 of meeting, before the veil: and he burnt sweet-smelling 27 incense on it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. And 28 he put up the hanging at the entrance of the tabernacle. And he put the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance 29 of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. And he set the laver between the tent 30 of meeting and the altar, and put water there, to wash with; and Moses and Aaron and his sons there washed their hands 31 and their feet. When they went into the tent of meeting, 32 and when they came near the altar, they washed, as Jehovah had commanded Moses. And he set up the court round 33 about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the gate of the court.

When Moses had finished the work, a cloud covered the 34 tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. So that Moses was not able to enter into the tent 35 of meeting, because the cloud rested on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. When the cloud was taken 36 up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys; but when the cloud was not 37 taken up, then they journeyed not till the day in which it was taken up. For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the 38 tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

CHAP. I.-And Jehovah called to Moses, and spake to 2 him from the tent of meeting, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'If any of you will bring an offering to Jehovah from the cattle; from the herd or 3 from the flock ye shall bring your offering. If his offering be a burnt-offering from the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of 4 meeting, for his acceptance before Jehovah. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it 5 shall be accepted for him, to make atonement for him. And he shall slay the bullock before Jehovah: and the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar which is by the door of the tent 6 of meeting. And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it 7 in pieces. Then the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire 8 upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire; and the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire upon 9 the altar; but its entrails and its legs shall he wash in water; and the priest shall burn all on the altar, as a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, an acceptable odour to Jehovah.

And if his offering be a burnt-offering from the flocks, from the sheep or from the goats he shall bring it, a male 11 without blemish. And he shall slay it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah : and the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar: 12 and he shall cut it in pieces, and these, with its head and its fat, the priest shall lay in order on the wood that is on the fire 13 upon the altar. But he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water; and the priest shall bring the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, an acceptable odour to Jehovah.

But if his burnt-offering to Jehovah be an offering from 14 the birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons. And the priest shall bring it to the altar, 15 and pinch off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar; and he 16 shall pluck out its crop with its contents, and cast it beside the altar, on the eastern part, by the place of the ashes; and 17 he shall cleave it with its wings, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, an acceptable odour to Jehovah.

CHAP. II. And if any one will offer a meal-offering to 1 Jehovah, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour upon it oil, and put upon it frankincense. And he 2 shall bring it to the priests, the sons of Aaron; and he shall take from it his handful of the flour, and of the oil, with all the frankincense, and the priest shall burn them as a memorial of it upon the altar, an offering made by fire, an acceptable odour to Jehovah; and the remainder of the meal- 3 offering shall be for Aaron and his sons: the most holy of the offerings made by fire to Jehovah. And if thou bring 4 an offering of a meal-offering baked in an oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. And if a meal-offering on a pan 5 be thy offering, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour upon it oil: 6 it is a meal-offering. And if a meal-offering baked on a 7 plate be thy offering, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. And thou shalt bring the meal-offering which is made of s these things to Jehovah; and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. And the priest shall 9 take from the meal-offering a memorial of it, and shall burn

it upon the altar, as an offering made by fire, an acceptable odour to Jehovah; and the remainder of the meal-offering 10 shall be for Aaron and his sons: the most holy of the offerings made by fire to Jehovah. No meal-offering, which ye 11 shall bring to Jehovah, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, or honey, in any offering made by fire to Jehovah. As first-fruit-offerings, ye may offer them to 12 Jehovah; but they shall not be burnt on the altar for an acceptable odour. And every offering of thy meal-offering 13 thou shalt season with salt; neither shalt thou withhold the

salt of the covenant of thy God from thy meal-offerings: 14 with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. And if thou offer a meal-offering of first-fruits to Jehovah, thou shalt offer, for the meal-offering of thy first-fruits, green ears of 15 corn roasted at the fire, or corn rubbed out of full ears. And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay upon it frankincense: it 16 is a meal-offering. And the priest shall burn, as a memorial of it, some of the corn rubbed out of the ear, and some of the oil, with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to Jehovah.

CHAP. III. And if a sacrifice of peace-offering be the offering of any one, if he offer it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before Jeho2 vah. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and slay it at the door of the tent of meeting; and the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall sprinkle the blood round 3 about upon the altar. And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace-offering, as an offering made by fire to Jehovah : the fat that covereth the entrails, and all the fat that is upon 4 the entrails, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul above the liver, to5 gether with the kidneys, he shall take away; and the sons of Aaron shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire, as an offering made by fire, an acceptable odour to Jehovah.

6

And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah be from the flock, male or female, he shall offer it 7 without blemish. If he offer a lamb for his offering, then 8 shall he offer it before Jehovah. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and slay it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood of 9 it round about upon the altar. And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace-offering, as an offering made by fire to Jehovah its fat, and the whole of the fat tail, which he shall take off close to the rump, and the fat that covereth the 10 entrails, and all the fat that is upon the entrails, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul above the liver, together with the kidneys, 11 he shall take away; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, as the food of the offering made by fire to Jehovah.

:

And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before 13 Jehovah. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it,

M

and slay it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar. And of it he shall offer his offering, an offering made by fire 14 to Jehovah the fat that covereth the entrails, and all the fat that is upon the entrails, and the two kidneys, and the fat 5 that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul above the liver, together with the kidneys, he shall take away, and 16 the priest shall burn them upon the altar, as the food of the offering made by fire, for an acceptable odour. All the fat is Jehovah's. This shall be a perpetual statute for your genera- 17 tions, throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.'"

CHAP. IV.—And Jehovah spake to Moses, saying, "Speak 2 to the children of Israel, saying, 'If any one have sinned through ignorance and done any one of those things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done: if the anointed 3 priest have sinned so as to bring guilt upon the people, he shall bring to Jehovah, for his sin which he hath committed, a young bullock without blemish for a sin-offering. And he 4 shall bring the bullock to the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah; and shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and slay the bullock before Jehovah. And the 5 anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to the tent of meeting; and the priest shall dip 6 his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times before Jehovah, before the veil of the sanctuary. Then the priest shall put some of the blood 7 upon the horns of the altar of sweet-incense before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting; and shall pour all the rest of the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting. And he shall take off from the bullock all the fat, for s the sin-offering; the fat that covereth the entrails, and all the fat that is upon the entrails, and the two kidneys, and 9 the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul above the liver, together with the kidneys, he shall take away, as it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of 10 peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt-offering. And the skin of the bullock, 11 and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his entrails, and his dung, even the whole bullock shall he carry 12 forth without the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are
