This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
9 The first agreement had sacred rites and a holy place here on earth, 2 because the tent of worship was set up with a outer room called ‘the holy place’ where both the lampstand and the table were placed and the ‘bread of the presence’.[ref] 3 Then past the second curtain was a room called ‘the most holy place’[ref] 4 having the golden incense altar and the box of the agreement which was completely gold-plated and which contained a golden jar of manna and Aaron’s staff which had sprouted and the stone tablets inscribed with the commands.[ref] 5 On the top of the box were the cherubs OF GLORY with their wings stretched out over the mercy seat which we won’t talk about right now.[ref]
6 And then with all of that having been prepared, the priests entered past everything in the first room of the tent to carry out their sacred services.[ref] 7 However, only the high priest enters the second room, and then only once a year. He can’t go with taking in blood which he offers for the sins of ignorance done by both himself and by the people.[ref] 8 By that, the holy spirit was making it clear that the way into that holy place was not yet open to the public as long as that first tent of worship was still standing. 9 This was an illustration intended for the present time when gifts and sacrifices are still being offered, but are not able to make the conscience of the one serving perfect—10 only just physical matters of food and drinks and ritual washings—until the reformed system is instigated.

Exo 26:1-30:
26 You must make my residence with ten fabric panels formed by a skilled craftsman. They must be made from twisted finely-spun linen, with winged-creatures embroidered on them using blue, purple, and scarlet thread. 2 The hanging panels must all be the same size: 14.5m long and two metres wide. 3 Five of the panels will be coupled together as one set and the other five as another. 4 For each set, make loops of blue cloth and fasten them along the outer edge of each of the end panels—5 place fifty loops on the end of each set so that the loops are opposite each other. 6 You’ll also need to make fifty gold clips to join the two sets together to make a single walled structure.
7 You must make eleven panels with goats’ hair to form a tent over the residence. 8 Each of the eleven panels must be the same size: 15m long and two metres wide. 9 You must join five panels into a set, and six panels into the other set so that the sixth panel can be doubled over at the front of the tent. 10 You must make 50 loops to go onto the end of one set, and another 50 for the edge of the other set. 11 You’ll also need to make fifty bronze clips to join the two sets together to make the tent cover. 12 Let the extra half panel hang over the back of the residence. 13 The half metre of extra length on each side that extends beyond the linen sets will hang evenly over the sides.
14 You must make a covering of rams hides dyed red to go over the tent, then another covering sea-cow hides to go over that.
The wooden frames
15 You must make frames for my residence from acacia wood. They’ll stand upright 16 and each one must be five metres high and 0.75m wide. 17 Each frame must have two protrusions so it can be connected to the frame next to it. 18 Assemble twenty frames for the south side of the residence 19 along with forty silver bases to go underneath them—two bases supporting each frame, and each frame having two protrusions at the bottom to go into the bases. 20 For the north side, assemble twenty frames 21 along with forty silver bases—two under each frame. 22 For the rear of the residence facing west, assemble six frames 23 plus two extra frames for bracing the two back corners—24 they must be joined on at the bottom and then both of them have their tops attached to a ring. 25 Then assemble eight frames with their sixteen silver bases—two bases supporting each frame.
26 Make crossbars from acacia wood—five of them to go across the frames on the northern side, 27 five for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the residence on the western side. 28 The middle crossbar in the centre of the frames will go right through from one end to the other. 29 Overlay the frames and the crossbars with gold, and make the rings for holding the crossbars with gold. 30 Then you must assemble my residence exactly as per the plan that you were shown on the mountain.
Exo 25:31-40:
25:31 The lampstand
31 You must make a lampstand from pure gold. The base and shaft are to be hammered out of one piece of gold as well as its cups and decorative buds and flowers. 32 There must be six branches extending from the shaft—three on each side. 33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers must be on each branch along with a bud and petals. 34 The centre shaft must have four cups like almond flowers along with a bud and petals. 35 For each of the three pairs of branches (one branch out each side in each pair), make a bud on the centre shaft so each pair of branches appear to be growing out of it. 36 These buds and their branches must all be hammered out from that single piece of pure gold. 37 Make seven lamps and set them up on it to give light out from the front of it, 38 and make all the utensils and dishes for the lamps from pure gold. 39 This can all be made from 35kg of pure gold 40 and be sure to make it all like the pattern that you’re being shown on the mountain.[ref]
Exo 25:23-30:
23 You must make a table from acacia wood: one metre long, 500cm wide, and 750cm high. 24 Overlay it with pure gold and have a gold moulding fitted all around it. 25 Make an 8cm wide rim around it and fit a gold moulding onto the rim. 26 Make four gold rings and attach them near the legs on the four corners of the table 27 near the rim. The rings are so poles can be inserted in order to carry the table. 28 Make two poles out of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold for carrying the table. 29 In addition, make the necessary plates and pans, and the pitchers and bowls to be used for pouring out the wine offerings—all from pure gold. 30 You must keep sacred bread on the table continually in front of me.[ref]
Exo 26:31-33:
The curtain
31 You must have a skillful workman make a curtain from twisted finely-spun linen, with winged-creatures embroidered on them using blue, purple, and scarlet thread. 32 Hang it from gold clips on four pillars made from acacia wood overlaid with gold on four silver bases. 33 Hang the curtain under the clips, then bring the box that contains the agreement inside the curtain. That curtain will separate for you between the sacred section and the very sacred interior.[ref]
Exo 30:1-6:
30:1 The incense altar
30 You must make an altar out of acacia word for burning incense on. 2 It should be square—half a metre on each side—and a metre high. Make projections that look like horns on top out of that same block of wood. 3 It must be overlaid with pure gold—its top and all around its sides and its projections—plus you shall make a gold moulding all around it. 4 Make two gold rings and attach them to the altar below the moulding—one on each side to hold the poles for carrying it with. 5 Make the two poles from acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 6 Put this incense altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest—the box containing the stone slabs and with a platform on it where I will meet with you.
Exo 25:10-16:
10 They must make a wooden chest from acacia wood. It should be 125cm long, with the width and the height being 75cm. 11 It must be overlaid with pure gold sheeting on the outside and the inside, and have a gold moulding fitted all around it. 12 Four gold rings must be cast and attached to the four feet—two rings on each side. 13 Make two carrying poles from acacia wood and overlay them with gold sheeting. 14 Those poles will be inserted through the rings on the sides of the chest so it can be picked up and carried on them. 15 The poles must be kept in the rings on the chest—they mustn’t be removed. 16 The two stone slabs that I’ll give you with our agreement inscribed on them must be placed inside the chest.
Exo 16:33:
33 So Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a jar and fill it with the full two litres of manna. Place it in front of Yahweh for preservation for your descendants.”[ref]
Num 17:8-10:
8 Then the next day when Mosheh went to the sacred tent, wow, he saw that Aharon’s staff (representing Levi tribe) had sprouted, plus it had blossomed and produced a flower and ripened almonds![ref] 9 Mosheh took all the staffs out of the tent to the people to look at and each of the leaders took back his own staff, 10 then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Put Aharon’s staff back in front of the sacred chest. Keep it there as a reminder to any rebels to stop complaining against me so they won’t die.”
Exo 25:16:
16 The two stone slabs that I’ll give you with our agreement inscribed on them must be placed inside the chest.
Deu 10:3-5:
3 So I made a box from acacia wood, and I carved out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the two tablets 4 and he wrote the ten instructions on the tablets like the first time—the same words that Yahweh had spoken to you from the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly. Then he gave me the tablets 5 and I turned and went down the mountain. I put the tablets into the box that I’d made, just like Yahweh had told me to.
Exo 25:18-22:
18 Then make a pair of winged-creatures from gold that’s hammered from the two ends of the atonement platform. 19 Yes, make one winged-creature from each end of the gold lid material. 20 Their up-lifted wings should spread out covering the atonement platform and they should be facing each other across the top of the platform. 21 When I give you the stone slabs, put them inside the box and then fasten the atonement platform on top to form the lid. 22 Then I’ll meet with you there, and from the atonement platform between the two winged-creatures and above the stone slabs, I’ll be able to tell you my commands to pass on to the Israelis.
Num 18:2-6:
2 Bring your Levite brothers (your father’s tribe) to work closely with you and to assist you as you and your sons perform your duties at the sacred tent. 3 They must look after the tent, however, they mustn’t approach the furnishings or utensils, or the altar, so that both you and they won’t die. 4 Then must work closely with you and take care of all the duties to do with the sacred tent, but no outsider is allowed to approach. 5 You priests will take care of the sacred place and the altar, and then there won’t be anymore fury against the Israeli people. 6 Now listen, I’ve taken your brothers the Levites out from the rest of the Israelis as a gift for you—they’re given to do the duties at the sacred tent.
Lev 16:2-34:
Tell your brother Aharon that if he doesn’t want to die, then he mustn’t just enter the holiest room inside the curtain at any old time. The atonement lid is on the sacred box, and I will appear in a cloud over that lid.[ref]
3 This is how Aharon must enter the sacred tent: he must acquire a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He must bathe himself in water and then put on linen underclothes, followed by his sacred linen tunic and tie the linen sash around it. Then he must wrap the linen turban on. Those are all sacred clothes.
5 Then Aharon must acquire two young goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 He must present the bull as a sin offering for himself to make both him and his household right with God. 7 Then he must take the two goats and make them stand in front of Yahweh at the entrance to the sacred tent, 8 and throw dice to decide which one is for Yahweh, and one is to be the ‘scapegoat’. 9 Then Aharon must present the goat that’s for Yahweh, and offer it as a sin offering, 10 but the chosen ‘scapegoat’ must be kept standing there in front of Yahweh, because it’ll be used to make the people right with Yahweh, and be sent into the wilderness.
11 Then Aharon must present the bull for his own sin offering to make him and his household right with God, then he’ll slaughter the bull for the sin offering for himself. 12 Then he must get a panful of burning coals off the altar in front of Yahweh as well as two handfuls of finely-ground, fragrant incense, and take them inside the curtain 13 where he’ll put the incense on the coals in Yahweh’s presence. Then the smoke cloud from the incense will cover the atonement lid on the sacred chest, and he won’t die. 14 Then he must take some of the bull’s blood, and using his finger, he must flick the blood seven times onto the eastern the side of the lid and seven times onto the front of the lid.
15 Then Aharon must slaughter the goat for the people’s sin offering, and take its blood inside the curtain, and do the same with it that he did to the bull’s blood—flicking it onto the side and front of the atonement lid,[ref] 16 thus making the Israeli people right with Yahweh for their uncleanness and their rebellion and disobedience. That’s also for the sacred tent which is among the people with their uncleanness. 17 No one else can enter the sacred tent when Aharon enters to make atonement in the sacred room until he leaves again. He must make atonement for himself and his household, as well as for the whole Israeli community, 18 then he’ll go out to the altar that’s in front of Yahweh and make atonement for that—he must take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on the four projecting corners of the altar. 19 Then he must flick blood on to it seven times with his finger, thus purifying it and removing the uncleanness of the Israeli people from it.
20 When Aharon has finished purifying the sacred room, the sacred tent, and the altar, then he should present the live goat. 21 He must place both his hands on the goat’s head, and confess all of Israel’s disobedience, rebellion, and shortcomings—symbolically placing them onto the goat’s head, and then he must choose a man that’s nearby to take it into the wilderness. 22 Then he’ll release the goat there in the wilderness, and the goat will carry all their sins into that barren land.
23 Then Aharon must enter the sacred tent and take off the linen garment that he’d put on as he’d entered into the sacred room and leave them there.[ref] 24 Then he must wash himself in water in a sacred place, put on his regular clothes, and go out and make his burnt offering and the burnt offering for the people, thus making both himself and the people right with Yahweh. 25 Then he must burn the fat from the sin offering up on the altar. 26 Also, the person who led away the ‘scapegoat’ must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and then he can reenter the camp. 27 Then the remains of the bull and the goat from the sin offerings (whose blood was taken into the sacred room to make atonement) must be taken to a place outside the camp where they must be burnt—skins, flesh, and dung.[ref] 28 The man who burnt them must then wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and then he can reenter the camp.
29 This will be a permanent regulation for you all:
On the 10th of the seventh month (of Tishrei—around September/October), all of you including those who are native-born as well as foreigners living among you, must humble yourselves and not work that day[ref] 30 because on that day, the high priest will purify you all from your sins to make you right with Yahweh, and you’ll be ‘clean’. 31 It’ll be a very sacred rest day for you, and you all must humble yourselves—a permanent regulation for you all. 32 The priest who’s anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest must be the one to make atonement, and he must be wearing his sacred linen clothes. 33 He will first purify the sacred room and the sacred tent, and the altar, and then make all the priests right with Yahweh and finally, the entire community. 34 That will become a permanent regulation every year to make all the Israelis right with Yahweh because of their sins.
So Mosheh did exactly as Yahweh had instructed him.
