Exodus 36

    ²And when Moses had called them, and every skilful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,

    ³He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.

    ⁴Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,

    ⁵Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.

    ⁶Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier's voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,

    ⁷Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.

    ⁸And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:

    ⁹The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.

    ¹⁰And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.

    ¹¹He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,

    ¹²That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.

    ¹³Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.

    ¹⁴He made also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:

    ¹⁵One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.

    ¹⁶Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.

    ¹⁷And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.

    ¹⁸And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.

    ¹⁹He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams' skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.

    ²⁰He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.

    ²¹The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.

    ²²There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.

    ²³Of which twenty were at the south side southward,

    ²⁴With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.

    ²⁵At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.

    ²⁶With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.

    ²⁷But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,

    ²⁸And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:

    ²⁹Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:

    ³⁰So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.

    ³¹He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

    ³²And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.

    ³³He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.

    ³⁴And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.

    ³⁵He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:

    ³⁶And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.

    ³⁷He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.

    ³⁸And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.

Exodus 37

    ²And he made to it a crown of gold round about,

    ³Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.

    ⁴And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,

    ⁵And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.

    ⁶He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.

    ⁷Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:

    ⁸One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,

    ⁹Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.

    ¹⁰He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.

    ¹¹And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about.

    ¹²And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers' breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.

    ¹³And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,

    ¹⁴Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.

    ¹⁵And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold,

    ¹⁶And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.

    ¹⁷He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:

    ¹⁸Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.

    ¹⁹Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies; and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.

    ²⁰And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:

    ²¹And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.

    ²²So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.

    ²³He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.

    ²⁴The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.

    ²⁵He made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns.

    ²⁶And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and the sides, and the horns.

    ²⁷And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried.

    ²⁸And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.

    ²⁹He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.

Exodus 38

    ²The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of brass.

    ³And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks, and firepans.

    ⁴And he made the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth,

    ⁵Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it.

    ⁶And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of brass:

    ⁷And he drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within.

    ⁸He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watch at the door of the tabernacle.

    ⁹He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen, of a hundred cubits,

    ¹⁰Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the heads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver.

    ¹¹In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and the sockets and heads of the pillars were of the same measure, and work and metal.

    ¹²But on that side that looketh to the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, ten pillars of brass with their sockets, and the heads of the pillars, and all the graving of the work, of silver.

    ¹³Moreover towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:

    ¹⁴Fifteen cubits of which were on one side with three pillars, and their sockets:

    ¹⁵And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets.

    ¹⁶All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen.

    ¹⁷The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also with silver.

    ¹⁸And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high according to the measure of all the hangings of the court.

    ¹⁹And the pillars in the entry were four with sockets of brass, and their heads and gravings of silver.

    ²⁰The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made of brass.

    ²¹These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest:

    ²²Which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda had made as the Lord commanded by Moses,

    ²³Having for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan: who also was an excellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.

    ²⁴All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary.

    ²⁵And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.

    ²⁶There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth.

    ²⁷A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent being reckoned for every socket.

    ²⁸And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver.

    ²⁹And there were offered of brass also seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred sicles besides.

    ³⁰Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and all the vessels that belong to the use thereof.

    ³¹And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle and of the court round about.

Matthew 23

    ²Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.

    ³All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.

    ⁴For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.

    ⁵And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.

    ⁶And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,

    ⁷And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.

    ⁸But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren.

    ⁹And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.

    ¹⁰Neither be ye called masters; for one is you master, Christ.

    ¹¹He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.

    ¹²And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

    ¹³But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.

    ¹⁴Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you devour the houses of widows, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgment.

    ¹⁵Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.

    ¹⁶Woe to you blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple, is a debtor.

    ¹⁷Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

    ¹⁸And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is a debtor.

    ¹⁹Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

    ²⁰He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:

    ²¹And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:

    ²²And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
