upon the altar, two lambs of a year old, continually. Oiler the first lamb in the morning, and offer the second lamb between ~ the dusks; with a tenth of Eour mixed with a quarter of a bin of olive oil, and a quarter of a hin of wine with the Hrst lamb as a drink offering. ‘ And offer the second lamb between

the dusks; like the offering in the morning, and offer a similar drink oHering with it; a sweetmeat to the EvER··L1v1NG; as continuous otfer~ ings from your posterity before the Evmz-Lxvme at the door of the Hall of Assembly, at the place He indicates to you, where He will speak to you. For I will show Myself to the children of Israel, and will sanctify them by My Maiesty. Thus you shall sanctify the Hall of Assembly and the altar for Me, but I will sanctify Aaron, and his sons to Myself as Priests, and I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and be their GOD, and they shall know that I am the EvBl~z» LIVING, the GOD Who brought them from the land of the Mitzeraim, and dwell in the midst of them. I am the EVER-Livmo Gon. Make also an altar for incense of acacia wood. It shall be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, from the base of it. And you shall plate it with pure gold, its top and its sides all round, and round its top make battlements of gold. You shall also make two projections of gold on it, below the battlements. Make also two golden rings below the battlements; you shall form them upon both sides, as sockets for two staves to carry it by. Make the staves of acacia wood, and plate them with gold. And place it before the veils which are over the Ark ofthe Witnesses; before the veils which are over the Witnesses that give evidence to you there. ‘ And Aaron shall offer incense of

spices upon it evening by evening. He shall burn the incense at the lighting of the larnps. When Aaron’s sons light the lamps between the dusks, he shall burn the incense per- petually, before the Evan-Lxvmo, among your descendants. You shall

It is the Holy of Holies tothe EvaR~1.1vmo».’ W1: iuiu nf the ®2nsus. Afterwards the EVER-LIVING spoke to Moses, saying: ‘ When you take a conscription of

the children of Israel, to regiment them, then each shall give an expia- tion for his life to the Eva1z·1.1v1No for conscripting them, so that the LORD may not punish them for con— scripting. This is the offering for everyone passing to the conscription, half a shekel, by the sacred shekel, twelve gheras to the shekel. You shall offer half a shekel to the EVER- LIVING. Everyone passing to the conscription, from the age of twenty years old and upwards, shall give this offering to the Evniemvmo. The rich shall not add, and the poor shall not diminish from the half shekel, given as an offering to the EvER·L1V1NG, as a protection for their lives. And you shall take the protection money from the children of Israel and give it to the workers in the Hall of Assembly, and it shall be as a remembrance for the children of Israel before the EvER—L1vlNG, to protect their lives} I0

of brass, for washing, and place it between the Hall of.Assemb1y and the altar, and put water in it. and Aaron and his sons shall bathe them- selves in it, both their hands and their feet. Upon coming into the Hall of Assembly they shall wash with water, so that they may not die, when they approach the altar to offer sweet perfumes to the EvER—L1v1NG. They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die, and this shall be a perpetual order to him, and to his descendants, in their generations! S2 18 K9 2C 212
