“For Aaron’s sons you are to make tunics, sashes, and headbands for glory and for beauty.

The first lamb you are to prepare in the morning, and the second lamb you are to prepare around sundown.

And for the back of the tabernacle on the west you will make six frames.

You are to make two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back.

You must not make yourselves molten gods.

“The tabernacle itself you are to make with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet; you are to make them with cherubim that are the work of an artistic designer.

You are to make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you are to make fifty loops on the end curtain which is on the second set, so that the loops are opposite one to another.

The second lamb you are to offer around sundown; you are to prepare for it the same meal offering as for the morning and the same drink offering, for a soothing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

“You are to make an altar for burning incense; you are to make it of acacia wood.

You will also take in your hand this staff, with which you will do the signs.”

The Israelite foremen went and cried out to Pharaoh, “Why are you treating your servants this way?

You are to make two cherubim of gold; you are to make them of hammered metal on the two ends of the atonement lid.

You are to make its plates, its ladles, its pitchers, and its bowls, to be used in pouring out offerings; you are to make them of pure gold.

“You are to make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you are to make eleven curtains.

You are to make its pots for the ashes, its shovels, its tossing bowls, its meat hooks, and its fire pans – you are to make all its utensils of bronze.

You are to make the altar hollow, out of boards. Just as it was shown you on the mountain, so they must make it.

You are to weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen, and make the sash the work of an embroiderer.

“Now this is what you are to prepare on the altar every day continually: two lambs a year old.

And the incense that you are to make, you must not make for yourselves using the same recipe; it is to be most holy to you, belonging to the Lord.

“You must observe the Feast of Weeks – the firstfruits of the harvest of wheat – and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year.
