In the tent of meeting<n id="1" /> outside the curtain that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons are to arrange it from evening<n id="2" /> to morning before the <sc>Lordsc>. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for generations to come.<n id="3" />p>

The stones are to be for the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to the number of<n id="1" /> their names. Each name according to the twelve tribes is to be like<n id="2" /> the engravings of a seal.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;You are to put the Urim and the Thummim<n id="1" /> into the breastpiece of decision; and they are to be over Aaron&#8217;s heart when he goes in before the <sc>Lordsc>. Aaron is to bear the decisions<n id="2" /> of the Israelites over his heart before the <sc>Lordsc> continually.p>

It will be on Aaron&#8217;s forehead, and Aaron will bear the iniquity of the holy things,<n id="1" /> which the Israelites are to sanctify by all their holy gifts;<n id="2" /> it will always be on his forehead, for their acceptance<n id="3" /> before the <sc>Lordsc>.

&#8220;When you take a census<n id="1" /> of the Israelites according to their number,<n id="2" /> then each man is to pay a ransom<n id="3" /> for his life to the <sc>Lordsc> when you number them,<n id="4" /> so that there will be no plague among them when you number them.

You are to receive the atonement money<n id="1" /> from the Israelites and give it for the service<n id="2" /> of the tent of meeting. It will be a memorial<n id="3" /> for the Israelites before the <sc>Lordsc>, to make atonement<n id="4" /> for your lives.&#8221;p>

&#8220;Tell the Israelites, &#8216;Surely you must keep my Sabbaths,<n id="1" /> for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the <sc>Lordsc> who sanctifies you.<n id="2" />

It is a sign between me and the Israelites forever; for in six days<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

He took the calf they had made and burned it in the fire, ground it<n id="1" /> to powder, poured it out on the water, and made the Israelites drink it.<n id="2" />p>

For<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> had said to Moses, &#8220;Tell the Israelites, &#8216;You are a stiff-necked people. If I went up among you for a moment,<n id="2" /> I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments,<n id="3" /> that I may know<n id="4" /> what I should do to you.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="5" />

keeping loyal love for thousands,<n id="1" /> forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, responding to the transgression<n id="2" /> of fathers by dealing with children and children&#8217;s children, to the third and fourth generation.&#8221;p>

But when Moses went in<n id="1" /> before the <sc>Lordsc> to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he came out.<n id="2" /> Then he would come out and tell the Israelites what he had been commanded.<n id="3" />

When the Israelites would see<n id="1" /> the face of Moses, that<n id="2" /> the skin of Moses&#8217; face shone, Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with the <sc>Lordsc>.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the <sc>Lordsc>, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the <sc>Lordsc> through<n id="1" /> Moses had commanded them<n id="2" /> to do.p>

and they received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do<n id="1" /> the work for the service of the sanctuary, and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning.<n id="2" />
