10 And they fhall make an ARK of Shittim-wood: two Cubits and a half fhall be the Length thereof, and a Cubit and a half the Breadth thereof, and a Cubit and a half the Height thereof.

11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure Gold, and fhalt make upon it a Crown of Gold.

16 And thou fhalt put into the Ark the TESTIMONY which I fhall give thee.

17 And thou fhalt make a MERCY-SEAT of pure Gold: two Cubits and a half fhal! be the Length thereof, and a Cubit and a half the Breadth thereof.

18 And thou shalt make two CHERUBIMS of Gold of beaten Work fhalt thou make them, in the two Ends of the MERCY-SEAT.

20 And the CHERUBIMS fhall ftretch forth their Wings on high, covering the MERCY-SEAT with their Wings: and their Faces fhall look one to another; toward the MERCY-SEAT fhall the Faces of the Cherubims be.

21 And thou fhalt put the MERCY-SEAT above upon the Ark, and in the Ark thou fhalt put the TESTIMONY that I fhall give thee.

22 And there I will MEET with thee, and I will commune with thee, from above the MERCY-SEAT, from between the two CHERUBIMS which are upon the ARK of the TESTIMONY, of all Things which I will give thee in Commandment unto the Children of Ifrael.

13 For if the Blood of Bulls and of Goats, and the Ashes of an Heifer fprinkling the Unclean, SANCTIF LETH to the purifying of the Flesh :

14 How much MORE fhall the BLOOD

of CHRIST, who through the ETERNAL

SPIRIT OFFERED himself without SPOT
to GOD, PURGE your CONSCIENCE from

DEAD WORKS to SERVE the LIVING
GOD?

15 And for this Cause he is the MEDIATOR of the NEW TESTAMENT, that by means of DEATH for the REDEMPTON of the Tranfgreffions that were under the FIRST TESTAMENT, they which are called might receive the PROMISE OF ETERNAL INHERITANCE.

16 For where a TESTAMENT is, there muft alfo of neceffity be the Death of the Teftator.

17 For a Teftament is of Force after Men are dead otherwife it is of no Strength at all whilft the Teftator liveth.

18 Whereupon neither the firft Teftament was dedicated without Blood.

19 For when Mofes had fpoken

every Precept to all the People ac

cording to the Law, he took the BLOOD of Calves and of Goats, with Water, and fcarlet Wool, and Hyffop, and fprinkled both the Book, and all the People.

the Teftament which God hath en

21 Moreover he sprinkled likewife with Blood both the TABERNACLE, and all the Veffels of the Miniftry.

22 And almost all Things are by the Law PURGED with BLOOD; and withOut SHEDDING of BLOOD is no REMISSION.

23 It was therefore neceffary that the PATTERNS of Things in the HEAVENS fhould be purified with thefe; but the HEAVENLY Things themselves with BETTER SACRIFICES than these.

24 For CHRIST is not entred into the holy Places made with Hands, which are the FIGURES of the TRUE; but into HEAVEN itself, now to APPEAR in the PRESENCE of GOD for us.

25 Nor yet that he should OFFER himself often, as the HIGH PRIEST entreth into the HOLY PLACE every Year with BLOOD of others:

26 (For then must he often have fuffered fince the FOUNDATION of the WORLD) but now once in the END of the WORLD hath he appeared to put AWAY Sin by the SACRIFICE of himself.

27 And

27 And as it is appointed unto Men once to DIE, but after this the JUDG

MENT:

28 So CHRIST was once oFFERED to bear the SINS of many; and unto them that LOOK for him fhall he appear the fecond Time without SIN unto SALVATION,

2 And unleavened Bread, and Cakes unleavened, tempered with Oyl, and Wafers unleavened anointed with Oyl: of Wheaten Flour fhalt thou make theth.

3 And thou fhalt put them into one Basket, and bring them in the Bafket, with the Bullock and the two Rams.

4 And Aaron and his Sons thou fhalt bring unto the Door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shalt wash them with Water.

5 And thou shalt take the Garments, and put upon Aaron the Coat, and the Robe of the Ephod, and the Ephod, and the Breaft-plate, and gird him with the curious Girdle of the Ephod.

6 And thou shalt put the Mitre upon his Head, and put the holy Crown upon the Mitre.

7 Then fhalt thou take the anointing Oyl, and pour it upon his Head, and anoint him.

8 And thou shalt bring his Sons, and put Coats upon

them.

9 And thou fhalt gird them with Girdles (Aaron and his Sons) and put the Bonnets on them: and the PRIEST'S OFFICE fhall be theirs for a perpetual Statute: and thou fhalt CONSECRATE AARON and his Sons.

10 h And thou shalt caufe a Bullock to be brought before the Tabernacle of the Congregation and Aaron and his Sons fhall put their Hands upon the Head of the Bullock.

12 And thou fhalt take of the Blood of the Bullock, and put it upon the Horns of the Altar with thy Finger, and pour all the Blood befide the Bottom of the Altar.

15 Thou shalt alfo take one Ram, and Aaron and his Sons fhall put their Hands upon the Head of the Ram.

5 Wherefore when HE COMETH into the World, he faith, Sacrifice and .

Offering thou wouideft not, but a
BODY haft thou PREPARED me.

6 In Burnt offerings and Sacrifice for Sn thou haft had no Pleasure.

7 Then faid I, Lo, I come (in the VOLUME of the Book it is written of me) to do thy WILL, O GOD.

8 Above, when he faid, Sacrifice and Offering, and Burnt offerings, and Offering for Sn, thou wouldest not, neither hadft Pleafure therein, (which are offered by the Law,)

9 Then faid he, Lo, I come to do thy WILL, O God. He taketh away the fift, that he may establish the

fecond.

10 By the which WILL we are SANCTIFIED; through the Offering of the BODY of JESUS CHRIST ONCE.

20 Then fhalt thou kill the Ram, and take of his Blood, ad put it upon the Tip of the Right Ear of Aaron, and upon the Tip of the Right Ear of his Sons, and upon the Thumb of their Right Hand, and upon the Great Toe of their Right Foot, and fprinkle the Blood upon the Altar round about.

21 And thou fhalt take of the Blood that is upon the Altar, and of the Anointing Oyl, and fprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his Garments, and upon his Sons, and upon the Garments of his Sons with him: and he fhall be hallowed, and his Garments, and his Sons, and his Sons Garments with him.

36 And thou fhalt offer every Day a Bullock for a Sinoffering, for Atonement and thou fhalt cleanfe the Altar, when thou hast made an Atonement for it, and thou fhalt anoint it to fanctify it.

38 Now this is that which thou fhalt offer upon the Altar; two Lambs of the first Year, Day by Day continually.
