[Old Testament One Chapter per Day] Day 78. Exodus 28:1-43

 

1. "Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests.

2. Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron, to give him dignity and honor.

3. Tell all the skilled men to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.

4. These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests.

5. Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

6. "Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen -- the work of a skilled craftsman.

7. It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened.

8. Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it -- of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.

9. "Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel

10. in the order of their birth -- six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.

_


11. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings

12. and fasten them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear the names on his shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.

13. Make gold filigree settings

14. and two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings.

15. "Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions -- the work of a skilled craftsman. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.

16. It is to be square -- a span long and a span wide -- and folded double.

17. Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz and a beryl;

18. in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald;

19. in the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst;

20. in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings.

__


21. There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

22. "For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.

23. Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece.

24. Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,

25. and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.

26. Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.

27. Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.

28. The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.

29. "Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the LORD.

30. Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron's heart whenever he enters the presence of the LORD. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD.

_


31. "Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,

32. with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar around this opening, so that it will not tear.

33. Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them.

34. The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe.

35. Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the LORD and when he comes out, so that he will not die.

36. "Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.

37. Fasten a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban.

38. It will be on Aaron's forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron's forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the LORD.

39. "Weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer.

40. Make tunics, sashes and headbands for Aaron's sons, to give them dignity and honor.

41. After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.

42. "Make linen undergarments as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh.

43. Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. "This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants.

1. Then he said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. You are to worship at a distance,

2. but Moses alone is to approach the LORD; the others must not come near. And the people may not come up with him."

3. When Moses went and told the people all the LORD's words and laws, they responded with one voice, "Everything the LORD has said we will do."

4. Moses then wrote down everything the LORD had said. He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars representing the twelve tribes of Israel.

5. Then he sent young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings to the LORD.

6. Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.

7. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey."

8. Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, "This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words."

9. Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up

10. and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself.

_


11. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.

12. The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commands I have written for their instruction."

13. Then Moses set out with Joshua his aide, and Moses went up on the mountain of God.

14. He said to the elders, "Wait here for us until we come back to you. Aaron and Hur are with you, and anyone involved in a dispute can go to them."

15. When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,

16. and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.

17. To the Israelites the glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.

18. Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

1. "Do not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious witness.

2. "Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd,

3. and do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.

4. "If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him.

5. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help him with it.

6. "Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

7. Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.

8. "Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.

9. "Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.

10. "For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops,

11. but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.

_


12. "Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be refreshed.

14. "Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.

15. "Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt. "No one is to appear before me empty-handed.

16. "Celebrate the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field. "Celebrate the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.

21. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him.

22. If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.

__


23. My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.

24. Do not bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their sacred stones to pieces.

25. Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,

26. and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.

27. "I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.

28. I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.

29. But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you.

30. Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.

31. "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River. I will hand over to you the people who live in the land and you will drive them out before you.

32. Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods.

33. Do not let them live in your land, or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare to you."

1. "These are the laws you are to set before them:

2. "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything.

3. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him.

4. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.

5. "But if the servant declares, `I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,'

6. then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

7. "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do.

8. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her.

9. If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter.

_


10. If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.

11. If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money.

12. "Anyone who strikes a man and kills him shall surely be put to death.

13. However, if he does not do it intentionally, but God lets it happen, he is to flee to a place I will designate.

14. But if a man schemes and kills another man deliberately, take him away from my altar and put him to death.

15. "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death.

16. "Anyone who kidnaps another and either sells him or still has him when he is caught must be put to death.

17. "Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.

18. "If men quarrel and one hits the other with a stone or with his fist and he does not die but is confined to bed,

__


19. the one who struck the blow will not be held responsible if the other gets up and walks around outside with his staff; however, he must pay the injured man for the loss of his time and see that he is completely healed.

20. "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished,

21. but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

22. "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows.

23. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life,

1. And God spoke all these words:

2. "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3. "You shall have no other gods before me.

4. "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

5. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

6. but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7. "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

8. "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

9. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

10. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.

11. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12. "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

14. "You shall not commit adultery.

15. "You shall not steal.

16. "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

18. When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance

19. and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."

20. Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."

21. The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

22. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites this: `You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven:

23. Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

24. "`Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.

25. If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it.

26. And do not go up to my altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.'

[Old Testament One Chapter per Day] Day 69. Exodus 19:1-25

 

1. In the third month after the Israelites left Egypt -- on the very day -- they came to the Desert of Sinai.

2. After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain.

3. Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, "This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel:

4. `You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

5. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine,

6. you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."

7. So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the LORD had commanded him to speak.

8. The people all responded together, "We will do everything the LORD has said." So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD.

_


9. The LORD said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you." Then Moses told the LORD what the people had said.

10. And the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes

11. and be ready by the third day, because on that day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

12. Put limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, `Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.

13. He shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows; not a hand is to be laid on him. Whether man or animal, he shall not be permitted to live.' Only when the ram's horn sounds a long blast may they go up to the mountain."

14. After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

15. Then he said to the people, "Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations."

16. On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled.

17. Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18. Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, the whole mountain trembled violently,

19. and the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.

20. The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up

21. and the LORD said to him, "Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the LORD and many of them perish.

22. Even the priests, who approach the LORD, must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them."

23. Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, `Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.'"

24. The LORD replied, "Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the LORD, or he will break out against them."

25. So Moses went down to the people and told them.
