When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel, by their numberings, then shall they give every man a propitiatory-covering for his soul to Yahweh, when they are numbered, - that there may be among them no plague when they are numbered.

So then thou shalt take the silver for the propitiatory-coverings from the sons of Israel, and shalt expend it upon the service of the tent of meeting, - thus shall it be for the sons of Israel as a memorial before Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over your souls.

And thou shalt make a laver of bronze, and its stand of bronze for bathing, - and thou shalt place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put therein water.

And thou shalt make it an oil for holy anointing, a compounded perfume the work of a perfumer, - an oil for holy anointing, shall it be.

and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils,-and the laver, and its stand.

And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, An oil for holy anointing, shall this be to me, to your generations.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Take to thee aromatic spices stacte and onycha, and galbanum, - aromatic spices, and pure frankincense, - weight for weight, shall it be.

And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the proportions thereof, ye shall not make for yourselves, - holy, shall it be to thee, to Yahweh.

and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, - to work in all manner of workmanship,

and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand;

and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place, according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do.

Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow you.

Therefore shall ye keep the sabbath, for holy, it is unto you, he that profaneth it shall be surely put to death; verily whosoever doeth therein any work that souls shall be cut off from the midst of its people:

between me and the sons of Israel, a sign it is unto times age-abiding, - for in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day, he rested, and was refreshed.

And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him - Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses - Go get thee down, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.

They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, they have made for themselves - a molten calf, and have bowed themselves down thereto mad have sacrificed thereto, and have said. These, are thy gods, O Israel, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Wherefore should the Egyptians speak saying - For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to thy people,

Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, - and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables.
