2.6 Chapters 14 to 18

The Israelites journey into the desert. In the desert of Sin they complain of lack of food. God sends them quails, and from this time on, except on the Sabbath, sends them a daily shower of manna. Upon arrival at Rephidim the people again complain of lack of water. God gives them water from a rock. The Amelekites attack Israel, but Joshua vanquishes them. God commands eternal war against Amalek. Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, having heard of Israel's deliverance, visits Moses, bringing him his wife Zipporah and their two children, whom Moses had left behind at home. On Jethro's advice Moses appoints subordinate judges. (See KJV text.)

2.7 Chapters 19 to 20

In the third month the Israelites arrive at Mount Sinai. God announces to them through Moses that, since he has liberated them by his power, they will now constitute themselves as God's people; the Israelites become a nation of priests. The Israelites accept this call. With thunder and lightning, clouds of smoke and the noise of trumpets, God reveals himself to them on Mount Sinai and pronounces the Ten Commandments. (See KJV text.)

2.8 Chapters 21 to 24

There follow enactments relating to civil law:

1. indemnifications for injuries done to a fellow man
2. duties toward persons who have no actual claims, though they are dependent on the good will of others.

In conclusion God promises the land of Canaan to the Israelites as the reward of obedience, but warns against the pagan inhabitants. God then enters into a solemn covenant with the people, through Moses. He calls Moses up into the mountain to receive the stone tablets of the Law and further instructions. (See KJV text.)

2.9 Chapters 25 to 31

In order that God may dwell permanently among the Israelites, they receive instructions for erecting a sanctuary. The directions provide for:

1. a wooden ark, gilded inside and outside, for the Tables of the Covenant, with a cover similarly gilded as " mercy seat " for the Divine Presence
2. a gilt table for the so-called " shewbread "
3. a golden candlestick for a light never to be extinguished
4. the dwelling, including the curtains for the roof, the walls made of boards resting on silver feet and held together by wooden bolts, the purple curtain veiling the Holy of Holies, the table and candlestick, and the outer curtain
5. a sacrificial altar made of bronzed boards for korbanot.
6. the outer court, formed by pillars resting on bronze pedestals and connected by hooks and crossbars of silver, with embroidered curtains
7. preparation of the oil for the candlestick.

Then follow directions for the garments of the priests:

1. a shoulder-band ( ephod) with two onyx stones, each engraved with the names of six of the tribes of Israel, also golden chains for holding the breastplate set with twelve precious stones, in four rows
2. a robe for the ephod, with bells and pomegranates around the seam
3. a golden miter plate with the inscription "Holiness to the Lord"
4. a coat
5. a miter
6. a girdle.

Then follow directions for ordaining the priests, including robing , anointing (of Aaron), and a seven days' sacrifice; the institution of daily morning and evening offerings; directions for making a golden altar of incense, to be set up in front of the inner curtain, opposite the Ark of the Covenant. Directions for making a laver and stand of brass, to be set up between the Tabernacle and the altar of sacrifice; the preparation of the holy oil for anointing and of the holy incense; appointment of the master workmen Bezaleel and Aboliab to direct the work; the observance of the Sabbath.
