They saw God, and ate and drank. 024:012 Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them." 024:013 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain. 024:014 He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them." 024:015 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. 024:016 The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 024:017 The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. 024:018 Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights. 025:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 025:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering. 025:003 This is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, brass, 025:004 blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair, 025:005 rams' skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood, 025:006 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, 025:007 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate. 025:008 Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 025:009 According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tent, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it. 025:010 "They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Its length shall be two and a half cubits, its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height. 025:011 You shall overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside shall you overlay it, and shall make a gold molding around it. 025:012 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four feet. Two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 025:013 You shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 025:014 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark. 025:015 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it. 025:016 You shall put the testimony which I shall give you into the ark. 025:017 You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. 025:018 You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat.
