offered burnt offerings and meat offerings there on as the LORD
commanded Moses. And he set the laver between the tabernacle of witness
and the altar, and poured water therein to wash with all. And both
Moses Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
both when they went into the tabernacle of witness, or when they went
to the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses. And he reared up the court
round about the habitation and the altar, and set up the hanging of the
court gate: and so Moses finished the work. And the cloud covered the
tabernacle of witness, and the glory of the LORD filled the habitation:
so that Moses could not enter into the tabernacle of witness, because
the cloud abode therein, and the glory of the LORD filled the
habitation. When the cloud was taken up from off the habitation, the
children of Israel took their journeys as oft as they journeyed. And if
the cloud departed not, they journeyed not till it departed: for the
cloud of the LORD was upon the habitation by day, and fire by night: in
the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
The end of the second book of Moses.
The Third Book of Moses, called Leviticus
Chapter .j.
And the LORD called Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of
witness saying: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them:
Whosoever of you shall bring a gift unto the LORD, shall bring it of
the cattle: even of the oxen and of the sheep. If he bring a
burntoffering of the oxen he shall offer a male without blemish, and
shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of witness, that he may
be accepted before the LORD. And let him put his hand upon the head of
the burntsacrifice, and favour shall be given him to make an atonement
for him, and let him kill the ox before the LORD. And let the priests
Aaron's sons bring the blood and let them sprinkle it round about upon
the altar that is before the door of the tabernacle of witness. And let
the burntofferings be stripped and hewed in pieces. And then let the
sons of Aaron the priest put fire upon the altar, and put wood upon the
fire, and let them lay the pieces with the head and the fat, upon the
wood that is on the fire in the altar. But the inwards and the legs
they shall wash in water, and the priest shall burn altogether upon the
altar, that it be a burnt sacrifice, and an offering of a sweet odour
unto the LORD. If he will offer a burnt sacrifice of the sheep whether
it be of the lambs or of the goats: he shall offer a male without
blemish. And let him kill it on the north side of the altar, before the
LORD. And let the priests Aaron's sons sprinkle the blood of it, round
about upon the altar. And let it be cut in pieces: even with his head
and his fat, and let the priest put them upon the wood that lieth upon
the fire in the altar. But let him wash the inwards and the legs with
water, and then bring altogether and burn it upon the altar: that is a
