Exodus 40

English Standard Version

The Tabernacle Erected

40 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²“On the ^(A)first day of the first month you shall ^(B)erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ³And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall ^(C)screen the ark with the veil. ⁴And ^(D)you shall bring in the table and arrange it, and ^(E)you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps. ⁵^(F)And you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle. ⁶^(G)You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, ⁷^(H)and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. ⁸And you shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.

⁹“Then you shall take the ^(I)anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it may become holy. ¹⁰You shall also anoint ^(J)the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, ^(K)so that the altar may become most holy. ¹¹You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it. ¹²^(L)Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water ¹³and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest. ¹⁴You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them, ¹⁵^(M)and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a ^(N)perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.”

¹⁶This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did. ¹⁷In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, ^(O)the tabernacle was erected. ¹⁸Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars. ¹⁹And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²⁰He ^(P)took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark. ²¹And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and ^(Q)set up the veil of the screen, and screened ^(R)the ark of the testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²²^(S)He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil, ²³and arranged the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²⁴^(T)He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle, ²⁵^(U)and set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²⁶^(V)He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil, ²⁷and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²⁸^(W)He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle. ²⁹^(X)And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the ^(Y)grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ³⁰^(Z)He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing, ³¹with which Moses and ^(AA)Aaron and his sons ^(AB)washed their hands and their feet. ³²When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses. ³³^(AC)And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So ^(AD)Moses finished the work.

The Glory of the Lord

³⁴Then ^(AE)the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and ^(AF)the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ³⁵And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ³⁶Throughout all their journeys, ^(AG)whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. ³⁷But ^(AH)if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. ³⁸For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.

Exodus 40

New International Version

Setting Up the Tabernacle

40 Then the Lord said to Moses: ²“Set up^(A) the tabernacle, the tent of meeting,^(B) on the first day of the first month.^(C) ³Place the ark^(D) of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain. ⁴Bring in the table^(E) and set out what belongs on it.^(F) Then bring in the lampstand^(G) and set up its lamps. ⁵Place the gold altar^(H) of incense in front of the ark of the covenant law and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

⁶“Place the altar^(I) of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; ⁷place the basin^(J) between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it. ⁸Set up the courtyard^(K) around it and put the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard.

⁹“Take the anointing oil and anoint^(L) the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings,^(M) and it will be holy. ¹⁰Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate^(N) the altar, and it will be most holy. ¹¹Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

¹²“Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting^(O) and wash them with water.^(P) ¹³Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments,^(Q) anoint him and consecrate^(R) him so he may serve me as priest. ¹⁴Bring his sons and dress them in tunics.^(S) ¹⁵Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.^(T)” ¹⁶Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded^(U) him.

¹⁷So the tabernacle^(V) was set up on the first day of the first month^(W) in the second year. ¹⁸When Moses^(X) set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames,^(Y) inserted the crossbars and set up the posts. ¹⁹Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering^(Z) over the tent, as the Lord commanded^(AA) him.

²⁰He took the tablets of the covenant law^(AB) and placed them in the ark,^(AC) attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover^(AD) over it. ²¹Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain^(AE) and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded^(AF) him.

²²Moses placed the table^(AG) in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain ²³and set out the bread^(AH) on it before the Lord, as the Lord commanded^(AI) him.

²⁴He placed the lampstand^(AJ) in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle ²⁵and set up the lamps^(AK) before the Lord, as the Lord commanded^(AL) him.

²⁶Moses placed the gold altar^(AM) in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain ²⁷and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord commanded^(AN) him.

²⁸Then he put up the curtain^(AO) at the entrance to the tabernacle. ²⁹He set the altar^(AP) of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings,^(AQ) as the Lord commanded^(AR) him.

³⁰He placed the basin^(AS) between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, ³¹and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash^(AT) their hands and feet. ³²They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar,^(AU) as the Lord commanded^(AV) Moses.

³³Then Moses set up the courtyard^(AW) around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain^(AX) at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.

The Glory of the Lord

³⁴Then the cloud^(AY) covered the tent of meeting, and the glory^(AZ) of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ³⁵Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory^(BA) of the Lord filled the tabernacle.^(BB)

³⁶In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;^(BC) ³⁷but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. ³⁸So the cloud^(BD) of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.

Matthew 27:27-56

English Standard Version

Jesus Is Mocked

²⁷^(A)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the ^(B)governor's headquarters,^[a] and they gathered the whole ^(C)battalion^[b] before him. ²⁸And they stripped him and put ^(D)a scarlet robe on him, ²⁹and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they ^(E)mocked him, saying, “Hail, ^(F)King of the Jews!” ³⁰And ^(G)they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. ³¹And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and ^(H)led him away to crucify him.

The Crucifixion

³²^(I)^(J)As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to ^(K)carry his cross. ³³^(L)And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), ³⁴^(M)they offered him wine to drink, mixed with ^(N)gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. ³⁵And when they had crucified him, ^(O)they divided his garments among them by casting lots. ³⁶Then they sat down and ^(P)kept watch over him there. ³⁷And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, ^(Q)the King of the Jews.” ³⁸Then two ^(R)robbers were crucified with him, ^(S)one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹And ^(T)those who passed by ^(U)derided him, ^(V)wagging their heads ⁴⁰and saying, ^(W)“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! ^(X)If you are ^(Y)the Son of God, come down from the cross.” ⁴¹So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ⁴²^(Z)“He saved others; ^(AA)he cannot save himself. ^(AB)He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. ⁴³^(AC)He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ⁴⁴^(AD)And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

The Death of Jesus

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour^[c] there was darkness over all the land^[d] until the ninth hour.^[e] ⁴⁶And about the ninth hour Jesus ^(AE)cried out with a loud voice, saying, ^(AF)“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” ⁴⁷And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” ⁴⁸And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with ^(AG)sour wine, and put it on a reed and ^(AH)gave it to him to drink. ⁴⁹But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” ⁵⁰And Jesus ^(AI)cried out again with a loud voice and ^(AJ)yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹And behold, ^(AK)the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And ^(AL)the earth shook, and the rocks were split. ⁵²The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of ^(AM)the saints ^(AN)who had fallen asleep were raised, ⁵³and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into ^(AO)the holy city and appeared to many. ⁵⁴^(AP)When the centurion and those who were with him, ^(AQ)keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, ^(AR)“Truly this was the Son^[f] of God!”

⁵⁵There were also ^(AS)many women there, looking on ^(AT)from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ^(AU)ministering to him, ⁵⁶among whom were ^(AV)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and ^(AW)the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus^(A)

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium^(B) and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. ²⁸They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,^(C) ²⁹and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.^(D) ³⁰They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.^(E) ³¹After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.^(F)

The Crucifixion of Jesus^(G)

³²As they were going out,^(H) they met a man from Cyrene,^(I) named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.^(J) ³³They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).^(K) ³⁴There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall;^(L) but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. ³⁵When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.^(M) ³⁶And sitting down, they kept watch^(N) over him there. ³⁷Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews.

³⁸Two rebels were crucified with him,^(O) one on his right and one on his left. ³⁹Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads^(P) ⁴⁰and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,^(Q) save yourself!^(R) Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”^(S) ⁴¹In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. ⁴²“He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel!^(T) Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe^(U) in him. ⁴³He trusts in God. Let God rescue him^(V) now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ⁴⁴In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus^(W)

⁴⁵From noon until three in the afternoon darkness^(X) came over all the land. ⁴⁶About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,^[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).^[b]^(Y)

⁴⁷When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar,^(Z) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. ⁴⁹The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.^(AA)

⁵¹At that moment the curtain of the temple^(AB) was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split^(AC) ⁵²and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. ⁵³They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and^[c] went into the holy city^(AD) and appeared to many people.

⁵⁴When the centurion and those with him who were guarding^(AE) Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”^(AF)

⁵⁵Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.^(AG) ⁵⁶Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,^[d] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.^(AH)
