…the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,

…the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.

…and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.

And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:

…the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—

…the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,

…the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—

…as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,

…in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. Whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from among his people.

The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.

It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”

Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.

He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”

The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.

Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”

But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?

Why should the Egyptians declare, ‘He brought them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce anger and relent from doing harm to Your people.

Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”

When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “The sound of war is in the camp.”

As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
