be right.

Thou shalt not take gifts: for gifts blind the seeing, and pervert the things of the righteous.

Ye shall not oppress the stranger: for ye know the heart of the stranger, because ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Six years shalt thou sow thy land, and gather in the fruit thereof.

In the seventh year thou shalt let it lie, and let the poor of thy people eat thereof: and what remaineth, let the wild beasts of the field eat it. And thou shalt do likewise unto thy vineyard, and unto thy oliveyard.

Six days shalt thou do thy work; but on the seventh day thou shalt feast, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and that thy maid’s son and thy stranger may be refreshed.

All things whatsoever I have said unto you, keep them. And the names of other gods ye shall not remember, neither shall they be heard out of your mouths.

Three times in the year ye shall keep me a feast.

Namely, the feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep, to eat bread unleavened seven days, as I commanded thee, about the time of the month Abib: for in that thou camest out of Egypt.
But appear not empty before me.

And the feast of the first harvest of the fruit which thou hast sown in the field. And the feast of ingathering at the end of the year, when thou hast gathered thy work out of the field.

Three times in the year shall all thy likenesses appear before the LORD sovereign.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice beside the leaven, neither shall the fat of my feast remain until to morrow.

The firstling of the firstfruits of thy field shalt thou bring into the house of the LORD thy God. And thou shalt not boil the kid, because he is with his mother’s milk.

Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Therefore beware of his face, and obey his voice, and provoke him not: for he will not forgive your transgression, and my name is in him.

But if thou shalt hear his voice, and do all that I shall say unto thee, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

And it shall come to pass, when my angel goeth before thee, and bringeth thee unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, that I will destroy them,

Thou shalt not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do as they do: but thou shalt overthrow their idols, and break them in pieces.

But serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove all sickness from you.

And there shall be no evil nor barren thing in thy land, and I will make thee old.

I will send my terror before thee, and will make all the people afraid whither thou goest; and I will put all thine enemies to flight.

I will send hornets before thee, which shall chase out the Hivites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, before thee.

I will not cast them out from before thee for a year, lest the land be desolate, and the wild beasts multiply against thee.

One by one will I cast them out before thee, until thou increase, and possess the land.

And I will set thy border upon the Red sea, and upon the Philistine sea, and upon the wilderness unto the waters thereof. And I will deliver into thine hand the inhabitants of the land, and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

Thou shalt not make a covenant with them, or with their gods, 53. But let them not dwell in thy land, lest they deceive thee against me. For where thou servest their gods, it shall be an offence unto thee.
(Exodus)
Chapter 24
Moses climbs Mount Sinai again after confirming the covenant.

And unto Moses he said, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, and Nadab, and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel, and worship afar off.

But Moses alone draweth nigh unto the LORD, and let not them draw nigh; neither let the people come up with him.

And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice, and said: All the words which the LORD hath spoken will we do.

And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar in the nether parts of the mount, with twelve pillars after the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and peace offerings unto the LORD of farrows.

And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in a vat, and sprinkled the other half upon the altar.

And he took the book of the covenant, and read it in the ears of the people. And when they had said: All things whatsoever the LORD hath spoken, we will do and obey, 8. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold, this is the blood of the covenant which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

And Moses, and Aaron, and Nadab, and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel, went up.

And they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet it was like a beautiful sapphire, and like the form of heaven when it is clear.

And he left not his hand upon the same princes of Israel. And when they had seen God, they did eat and drink.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up unto me into the mount, and dwell there, and I will give thee tables of stone, and statutes, and commandments, which I have written, which thou shalt teach them.

And Moses arose, and Joshua his servant, and went up into the mount of God.

And he said unto the elders, Tarry here until we come again unto you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have a matter, let him come before them.

And when Moses was come up into the mount, a cloud covered the mountain.

And the glory of the LORD dwelt in mount Sinai, and covered it with the cloud six days; and called Moses out of the cloud the seventh day.

And the vision of the glory of the LORD was as a consuming fire upon the top of the
mountain before the children of Israel.

And Moses went up into the midst of the cloud, and ascended into the mount, and abode in the mount forty days and forty nights.
(Exodus)
Chapter 25
Voluntary offerings to the tabernacle.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Tell the children of Israel, that they give me an heave offering; and take the same of every one that giveth it willingly.

And this is the heave offering which ye shall take of them, gold, and silver, and brass, 4. Yellow silk, scarlet, rose red, white silk, goat hair,

reddish ram skins, badger skins, pine wood,

oil for the lamp, spices for the ointment, and good incense,

onyx stones and stones set for the ephod and for the shield.

And they shall make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

As I will shew thee a pattern of the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof, so shall ye do.

Make an ark of pine wood. The length shall be three cubits and a half, the breadth a cubit and a half, and the height a cubit and a half.

And thou shalt overlay them with fine gold, within and without; and shalt make a crown of gold round about.

And cast four golden prongs, and put them on the four corners thereof; and there shall be two prongs on the one side, and two prongs on the other side.

And make staves of pine wood, and overlay them with gold.

And put them in the rings by the sides of the ark, that they may be carried; 15. And they shall abide in the rakes, and not be put forth.

And ye shall put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.

Thou shalt also make a mercy seat of fine gold: the length thereof shall be three cubits and an half, and the breadth thereof one cubit and a half.

And thou shalt make two cherubims of strong gold for the two ends of the mercy seat, 19. That one cherub should be at this end, and the other at the other end; and so two cherubims should be at the ends of the mercy seat.

And the cherubims shall spread forth wings above, and cover the mercy seat with their wings, and every one’s face shall be over against the other; and their faces shall look toward the mercy seat.

And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the top of the ark, and put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.

Of the place will I testify unto thee, and speak unto thee, even of the mercy seat between the two cherubims, which is upon the ark of the testimony, all that I will command thee unto the children of Israel.

Thou shalt also make a table of pine wood; the length thereof shall be two cubits, and the breadth thereof a cubit, and the height thereof a cubit and a half.

And thou shalt overlay it with fine gold, and make a garland of gold round about it.

And a border round about, the breadth of a hand, and a wreath of gold round about the border.

And thou shalt put four rings of gold
