For I will send out the nations before you and make wide the limits of your land; and no man will make an attempt to take your land while you go up to give worship to the Lord, three times in the year.

And the Lord said to Moses, Put all these words in writing; for on them is based the agreement which I will make with you.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

וַֽיְהִי־ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיִּכְתֹּ֣ב (וַ) va “and”

Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two stones in his hand, he was not conscious that his face was shining because of his talk with God.

וַיְהִ֗י (וַ) va “and”

But when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and the shining of his face, they would not come near him for fear.

וַיַּ֨רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיִּֽירְא֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then Moses sent for them; and Aaron, with the chiefs of the people, came to him; and Moses had talk with them.

וַיִּקְרָ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיָּשֻׁ֧בוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר (וַ) va “and”

And later, all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the orders which the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

וַיְצַוֵּ֕ם (וַ) va “and”

And at the end of his talk with them, Moses put a veil over his face.

וַיְכַ֣ל (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתֵּ֥ן (וַ) va “and”

But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to have talk with him, he took off the veil till he came out. And whenever he came out he said to the children of Israel what he had been ordered to say;

וְיָצָ֗א (וְ) ve. “and”וְדִבֶּר֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the children of Israel saw that the face of Moses was shining: so Moses put the veil over his face again till he went to the Lord.

וְרָא֤וּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהֵשִׁ֨יב (וְ) ve. “and”

And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.

וַיַּקְהֵ֣ל (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And all the children of Israel went away from Moses.

וַיֵּֽצְא֛וּ (וַ) va “and”

And everyone whose heart was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.

וַיָּבֹ֕אוּ (וַ) va “and”

They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.

וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ (וַ) va “and”

And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.

וַיָּבִ֣יאוּ (וַ) va “and”

And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And he has made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;

וַיְמַלֵּ֥א (וַ) va “and”

So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.

וְעָשָׂה֩ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work:

וַיִּקְרָ֣א (וַ) va “and”

And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.

וַיִּקְח֞וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;

וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.

וַיֹּאמְרוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

וַיְצַ֣ו (וַ) va “and”וַיַּעֲבִ֨ירוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּכָּלֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

וַיַּעֲשׂ֨וּ (וַ) va “and”
