Exodus 34

    ²Be ready in the morning, that thou mayst forthwith go up into mount Sinai, and thou shalt stand with me upon the top of the mount.

    ³Let no man go up with thee: and let not any man be seen throughout all the mount: neither let the oxen nor the sheep feed over against it.

    ⁴Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been before: and rising very early he went up into the mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, carrying with him the tables.

    ⁵And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.

    ⁶And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true,

    ⁷Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away iniquity, and wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before thee. Who renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the grandchildren, unto the third and fourth generation.

    ⁸And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the earth, and adoring,

    ⁹Said: If I have found grace in thy sight: O Lord, I beseech thee, that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people,) and take away our iniquities and sin, and possess us.

    ¹⁰The Lord answered: I will make a covenant in the sight of all. I will do signs such as were never seen upon the earth, nor in any nation: that this people, in the midst of whom thou art, may see the terrible work of the Lord which I will do.

    ¹¹Observe all things which this day I command thee: I myself will drive out before thy face the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.

    ¹²Beware thou never join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be thy ruin:

    ¹³But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their groves:

    ¹⁴Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is Jealous, he is a jealous God.

    ¹⁵Make no covenant with the men of those countries lest, when they have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored their idols, some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed.

    ¹⁶Neither shalt thou take of their daughters a wife for thy son, lest after they themselves have committed fornication, they make thy sons also to commit fornication with their gods.

    ¹⁷Thou shalt not make to thyself any molten gods.

    ¹⁸Thou shalt keep the feast of the unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee in the time of the month of the new corn: for in the month of the springtime thou camest out from Egypt.

    ¹⁹All of the male kind, that openeth the womb, shall be mine. Of all beasts, both of oxen and of sheep, it shall be mine.

    ²⁰The firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep: but if thou wilt not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem: neither shalt thou appear before me empty.

    ²¹Six days shalt thou work, the seventh day thou shalt cease to plough, and to reap.

    ²²Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks with the firstfruits of the corn of thy wheat harvest, and the feast when the time of the year returneth that all things are laid in.

    ²³Three times in a year all thy males shall appear in the sight of the Almighty Lord the God of Israel.

    ²⁴For when I shall have taken away the nations from thy face, and shall have enlarged thy borders, no man shall lie in wait against thy land when thou shalt go up, and appear in the sight of the Lord thy God thrice in a year.

    ²⁵Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon leaven: neither shall there remain in the morning any thing of the victim of the solemnity of the Lord.

    ²⁶The first of the fruits of thy ground thou shalt offer in the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.

    ²⁷And the Lord said to Moses: Write these words by which I have made a covenant both with thee and with Israel.

    ²⁸And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant.

    ²⁹And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.

    ³⁰And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.

    ³¹And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.

    ³²And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.

    ³³And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.

    ³⁴But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.

    ³⁵And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.

Exodus 35

    ²Six days you shall do work: the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath, and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death.

    ³You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day.

    ⁴And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:

    ⁵Set aside with you firstfuits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,

    ⁶Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats' hair,

    ⁷And rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, setim wood,

    ⁸And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet incense.

    ⁹Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod and the rational.

    ¹⁰Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded:

    ¹¹To wit, the tabernacle and the roof thereof, and the cover, the rings, and the board work with the oars, the pillars, and the sockets:

    ¹²The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it:

    ¹³The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of proposition:

    ¹⁴The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires:

    ¹⁵The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction and the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle:

    ¹⁶The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels thereof: the laver and its foot:

    ¹⁷The curtains of the court with the pillars and the sockets, the hanging in the doors of the entry,

    ¹⁸The pins of the tabernacle and of the court with their little cords:

    ¹⁹The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the sanctuary, the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do the office of priesthood to me.

    ²⁰And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence of Moses,

    ²¹Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatsoever was necessary to the service, and to the holy vestments,

    ²²Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.

    ²³If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins,

    ²⁴Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses.

    ²⁵The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,

    ²⁶And goats' hair, giving all of their own accord.

    ²⁷But the princes offered onyx stone, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational,

    ²⁸And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour.

    ²⁹All both men and women with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.

    ³⁰And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold the Lord hath called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda.

    ³¹And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding and knowledge and all learning.

    ³²To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,

    ³³And in engraving stones, and in carpenters' work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially,

    ³⁴He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan:

    ³⁵Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters' work and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.

²³That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,

    ²⁴Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.

    ²⁵Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.

    ²⁶In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.

    ²⁷And last of all the woman died also.

    ²⁸At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.

    ²⁹And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

    ³⁰For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.

    ³¹And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:

    ³²I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    ³³And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.

    ³⁴But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:

    ³⁵And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:

    ³⁶Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?

    ³⁷Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.

    ³⁸This is the greatest and the first commandment.

    ³⁹And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

    ⁴⁰On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

    ⁴¹And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,

    ⁴²Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David's.

    ⁴³He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:

    ⁴⁴The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

    ⁴⁵If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

    ⁴⁶And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
