⁴ which had the ^(A)golden censer and ^(B)the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were ^(C)the golden pot that had the manna, ^(D)Aaron’s rod that budded, and ^(E)the tablets of the covenant;

¹⁰ And the Lord said to Moses, “Bring ^(A)Aaron’s rod back before the Testimony, to be kept ^(B)as a sign against the rebels, ^(C)that you may put their complaints away from Me, lest they die.”

¹⁰ Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses ^(A)put there at Horeb, ^[a]when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.

⁵ And it shall be that the rod of the man ^(A)whom I choose will blossom; thus I will rid Myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, ^(B)which they make against you.”

¹² Then he shall take ^(A)a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, with his hands full of ^(B)sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.

^3 (A)You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and ^[a]partition off the ark with the veil.

³³ And you shall hang the veil from the clasps. Then you shall bring ^(A)the ark of the Testimony in there, behind the veil. The veil shall be a divider for you between ^(B)the holy place and the Most Holy.

²⁰ He took ^(A)the Testimony and put it into the ark, inserted the poles through the rings of the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark. ²¹ And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, ^(B)hung up the veil of the covering, and partitioned off the ark of the Testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

The Shining Face of Moses

²⁹ Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the ^(A)two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that ^(B)the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.
