36  Na ka mahi a Petareere raua ko Ahoriapa, ratou ko nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa, i homai nei e Ihowa he ngakau tupato ki a ratou, me te whakaaro e mohiotia ai te mahi i nga tini mahi, o nga mea o te wahi tapu, o te pera me nga mea katoa i whakah aua e Ihowa.

A i karangatia e Mohi a Petareere raua ko Ahoriapa, me nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa; i homai nei e Ihowa he mahara ki o ratou ngakau, nga tangata katoa i toko ake o ratou ngakau kia haere ki te mahi mahi ai:

Na ka tangohia e ratou i te aroaro o Mohi nga whakahere katoa i kawea e nga tama a Iharaira hei hanga i nga mea mo te wahi tapu, kia oti. I kawea ano e ratou he whakahere homai noa ki a ia i tenei ata, i tenei ata.

Na ka haere mai nga tangata mohio katoa, nga kaimahi o nga mea katoa o te wahi tapu, tera, tera, i tana mahi i mahi ai;

A ka korero ki a Mohi, ka mea, He nui noa atu ta te iwi e kawe mai nei mo te mahinga o nga mea i whakahaua e Ihowa kia meatia.

Na ka whakahau a Mohi, a ka pa te karanga i te puni, ka mea, Kaua tetahi tane, wahine ranei e mahi i tetahi atu mahi hei whakahere mo te wahi tapu. Na ka whakamutua te kawe mai a te iwi.

He nui hoki, a toe ake, nga mea i a ratou mo te mahinga o nga mea katoa.

Na nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa o nga kaimahi i hanga te tapenakara ki nga pihi kotahi tekau, ki te rinena miro pai, ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana: he tohunga rawa te mahinga o nga kerupima i whatua ki roto.

E rua tekau ma waru whatianga te roa o te pihi kotahi, e wha whatianga te whanui o te pihi kotahi: rite tonu te nui o nga pihi katoa.

10 I honoa e ia nga pihi e rima tetahi ki tetahi: me era atu pihi e rima hoki, i honoa e ia tetahi ki tetahi.

11 A i hanga ano e ia etahi koropiko puru ki te taha o tetahi pihi, ki te taha e honoa ana: i pera ano tana mahi ki te taha ki waho o tetahi pihi, ki te hononga mai o te rua.

12 E rima tekau nga koropiko i hanga e ia ki tetahi pihi, e rima tekau hoki nga koropiko i hanga e ia ki te taha o te pihi i te hononga mai o te rua: a i mau nga koropiko tetahi ki tetahi.

13 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi toromoka koura e rima tekau, a honoa ana nga pihi tetahi ki tetahi ki nga toromoka: a ka kotahi ano te tapenakara.

14 I hanga ano e ia etahi pihi ki te huruhuru koati, hei teneti mo runga i te tapenakara: kotahi tekau ma tahi nga pihi i hanga e ia.

15 E toru tekau whatianga te roa o te pihi kotahi, e wha hoki nga whatianga te whanui o te pihi kotahi, rite tonu te nui o nga pihi kotahi tekau ma tahi.

16 A i honoa e ia nga pihi e rima ki a ratou ano, me nga pihi e ono ki a ratou ano.

17 I hanga ano e ia nga koropiko e rima tekau ki te tapa ki waho o te pihi i te hononga, i hanga ano e ia nga koropiko e rima tekau ki te tapa o te pihi e honoa mai ai te rua.

18 I hanga ano e ia nga toromoka parahi e rima tekau, hei hono i te teneti kia kotahi.

19 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi hiako hipi he mea whakawhero, hei uhi mo te teneti, me etahi hiako pateri hei uhi mo waho atu.

20 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi papa mo te tapenakara, he hitimi te rakau, he mea tu ki runga.

21 Kotahi tekau whatianga te roa o te papa kotahi, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te whanui o te papa kotahi.

22 E rua nga arero o te papa kotahi, he mea hono ki a raua: he pera tonu tana i mea ai ki nga papa katoa o te tapenakara.

23 I hanga ano e ia nga papa mo te tapenakara: e rua tekau nga papa mo te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga:

24 E wha tekau hoki nga turanga hiriwa i hanga e ia mo nga papa e rua tekau; e rua nga turanga i raro i tetahi papa mo ona arero e rua, e rua hoki nga turanga i raro i tetahi atu papa mo ona arero e rua.

25 A e rua tekau nga papa i hanga e ia mo tera taha o te tapenakara, mo te taha ki te raki.

26 Me nga turanga hiriwa e wha tekau; nga turanga e rua mo raro iho i tetahi papa, me nga turanga e rua mo raro i tetahi atu papa.

27 A mo te tuarongo o te tapenakara whaka te hauauru, e ono nga papa i hanga e ia.

28 E rua hoki nga papa i hanga e ia mo nga koki o te tapenakara i te tuarongo.

29 A i honoa aua papa i raro, i honoa ano i runga ki te mowhiti kotahi: i peratia e ia aua papa e rua i nga koki e rua.

30 Na ka waru aua papa; me nga turanga hiriwa, kotahi tekau ma ono nga turanga; e rua nga turanga i raro i tetahi papa, i tetahi papa.

31 I hanga ano e ia etahi kaho, he hitimi te rakau: e rima mo nga papa o tetahi taha o te tapenakara,

32 E rima hoki nga kaho mo nga papa o tetahi taha o te tapenakara, a e rima nga kaho mo nga papa o te tapenakara, mo te tuarongo ki te hauauru.

33 A ko to waenga kaho i meinga e ia kia rere na waenganui o nga papa i tetahi pito ki tetahi pito.

34 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga papa ki te koura, a ka hanga nga mowhiti o aua papa ki te koura hei kuhunga mo nga kaho; i whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga kaho ki te koura.

35 I hanga ano e ia he arai ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai; he tohunga rawa te mahinga o nga kerupima i whatua e ia ki roto.

36 I hanga ano e ia ona pou e wha ki te hitimi, a whakakikoruatia iho e ia ki te koura; he koura nga matau: i whakarewaina ano e ia nga turanga hiriwa e wha mo aua mea.

37 I hanga ano he pa mo te whatitoka o te teneti ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai hoki, he mea mahi ki te ngira;

38 Me ona pou e rima, me nga matau a aua pou: a i whakakikoruatia e ia nga pito ki runga o aua pou me nga awhi ki te koura: ko nga turanga e rima ia he parahi.

37  I hanga ano e Petareere te aaka, he hitimi te rakau: e rua whatianga me te hawhe te roa, kotahi whatianga me he hawhe te whanui, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te teitei:

A i whakakikoruatia e ia ki te koura parakore a roto, a waho; i hanga ano e ia he niao koura a tawhio noa.

I whakarewaina ano nga mowhiti koura e wha mo ona koki e wha; e rua nga mowhiti mo tetahi taha, e rua hoki nga mowhiti mo tetahi taha.

I hanga ano e ia he amo, he hitimi te rakau, a whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura.

A i kuhua e ia nga amo ki nga mowhiti i nga taha o te aaka, hei amo mo te aaka.

I hanga ano e ia te taupoki ki te koura parakore: e rua whatianga me te hawhe te roa, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te whanui.

I hanga ano nga kerupima e rua ki te koura, he mea patu tana mahina, ki nga pito e rua o te taupoki;

Kotahi te kerupi ki tenei pito, kotahi kerupi ki tera pito; i honoa nga kerupima ki te taupoki ki ona pito e rua.

A i roha atu whakarunga nga parirau o nga kerupima, i uhi i te taupoki ki o raua parirau, me te anga ano o raua mata ki a raua; i anga whaka te taupoki nga mata o nga kerupima.

10 I hanga ano te tepu, he hitimi te rakau; e rua whatianga te roa, kotahi whatianga te whanui, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te teitei:

11 A i whakakikoruatia ki te koura parakore, i hanga ano hoki he niao koura mo taua mea a tawhio noa.

12 I hanga ano e ia he awhi mo taua mea, he whanui ringa te nui a tawhio noa; i hanga ano he niao koura mo te awhi a tawhio noa.

13 A i whakarewaina nga mowhiti koura e wha, a whakanohoia iho nga mowhiti ki nga koki e wha i ona waewae e wha.

14 I te ritenga ake o te awhi nga mowhiti, hei kuhunga mo nga amo, hei maunga mo te tepu.

15 A i hanga e ia nga amo, he hitimi te rakau, a whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura, hei amo mo te tepu.

16 I hanga ano nga oko mo runga i te tepu ki te koura parakore, ona rihi, ona koko, ona peihana me ona kapu mo nga ringihanga.

17 I hanga ano te turanga rama ki te koura parakore: ko tana hanganga i te turanga rama he mea patu; no reira ano tona take, tona peka, ona kapu, ona puku, me ona puawai.

18 A e ono nga peka i puta ake i ona taha; e toru nga peka o te turanga rama i tetahi taha, e toru hoki nga peka o te turanga rama i tetahi taha;

19 E toru nga kapu, he mea rite ki te puawai aramona, te puku, me te puawai, ki tetahi peka; e toru hoki nga kapu, he mea rite ki te puawai aramona ki tetahi atu peka, te puku, me te puawai: he pera tonu i nga peka e ono e puta ake ana i te turanga rama.

20 A e wha nga kapu o te turanga rama, he mea rite ki te puawai aramona, me te puku, me te puawai o tetahi, o tetahi:

21 A e rua nga peka, kotahi puku, o raro ake, no taua koura ra ano, e rua hoki nga peka, kotahi puku, o raro ake no taua koura ra ano, e rua hoki nga peka, kotahi puku, o raro ake, no taua koura ra ano, rite tonu ki nga peka e ono e puta mai ana i roto i taua mea.

22 No te mea kotahi nga puku, nga peka: he koura parakore katoa; kotahi tonu, he mea patu.

23 I hanga ano hoki e ia ki te koura parakore nga rama e whitu o taua mea, me ona kuku, me ona oko ngarahu.

24 Kotahi ano te taranata koura parakore i hanga ai taua mea, me ona oko katoa.

25 I hanga ano e ia te aata hei tahunga mea kakara, he hitimi te rakau: kotahi whatianga te roa, kotahi whatianga te whanui; he tapawha; e rua whatianga te teitei; no taua mea ra ano ona haona.

26 A whakakikoruatia iho e ia taua mea ki te koura parakore, a runga, me ona taha, a potae katoa, me ona haona: i hanga ano e ia he niao koura mo taua mea a tawhio noa.

27 I hanga ano nga mowhiti koura e rua mo taua mea, mo raro iho i tona niao, ki ona koki e rua, ki ona taha e rua, hei kuhunga mo nga amo, hei amohanga.

28 I hanga ano nga amo, he hitimi te rakau, a whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura.

29 I hanga ano e ia te hinu tapu hei whakawahi, me te whakakakara parakore ki nga mea kakara, ta te kaiwhakaranu hoki e hanga ai.

38  I hanga ano e ia he aata mo nga tahunga tinana, he hitimi te rakau: e rima nga whatianga te roa, e rima whatianga te whanui, he tapawha; e toru nga whatianga te teitei.

I hanga ano ona haona ki ona koki e wha; kotahi te rakau o taua mea, o ona haona: a whakakikoruatia iho e ia ki te parahi.

I hanga ano nga oko katoa o te aata, nga pata, me nga koko pungarehu, me nga peihana, me nga marau, me nga oko ngarahu: i hanga e ia ona mea katoa ki te parahi.

I hanga ano ki te parahi he pae kupenga mo te aata, he mea ripekapeka, mo raro i tona awhi, ki raro iho, i waenganui.

A e wha nga mowhiti parahi i whakarewaina e ia mo nga koki e wha o te pae kupenga parahi, hei kuhunga mo nga amo.

I hanga ano nga amo, he hitimi te rakau, a whakakikoruatia iho ki te parahi.

Na kuhua ana e ia nga amo ki nga mowhiti i nga taha o te aata, hei amo; i hanga e ia te aata ki te papa, he mea tuwhera kau a roto.

I hanga ano te takotoranga wai ki te parahi, me tona turanga hoki ki te parahi, ki nga whakaata o nga wahine i huihui mai, i huihui mai nei ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

I hanga ano te marae: he rinena miro pai nga pa o te marae, o te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga, kotahi rau whatianga:

10 E rua tekau nga pou o aua mea, e rua tekau ano hoki nga turanga parahi; he hiriwa nga matau o nga pou me nga awhi.

11 Me nga pa mo te taha ki te raki, kotahi rau whatianga, e rua tekau nga pou, e rua tekau hoki nga turanga parahi: he hiriwa nga matau o nga pou me nga awhi.

12 He pa ano hoki mo te taha ki te hauauru, e rima tekau whatianga, kotahi tekau nga pou, kotahi tekau ano hoki nga turanga; he hiriwa nga matau o nga pou me nga awhi.

13 E rima tekau hoki whatianga o te taha ki te rawhiti whaka te rawhiti.

14 Kotahi tekau ma rima whatianga o nga pa o tetahi taha o te kuwaha; e toru nga pou, e toru hoki nga turanga.

15 A kotahi tekau ma rima whatianga o nga pa o tera taha o te kuwaha o te marae, o tenei, o tera; e toru nga pou, e toru hoki nga turanga.

16 He rinena miro pai nga pa katoa o te marae a tawhio noa.

17 He parahi nga turanga mo nga pou, he hiriwa nga matau o nga pou me nga awhi; i whakakikoruatia ano hoki ki te hiriwa nga pito ki runga: i whakawhaiawhitia ano hoki nga pou katoa o te marae ki te hiriwa.

18 He mea hanga hoki ki te ngira te pa mo te kuwaha o te marae, he puru, he papura, he ngangana, he rinena miro pai: e rua tekau whatianga te roa, e rima whatianga te teitei, ara te whanui, rite tonu ano ki nga pa o te marae.

19 A e wha nga pou o aua pa, e wha ano hoki nga turanga parahi; he hiriwa nga matau; i whakakikoruatia ano hoki nga pito o aua pou me nga awhi ki te hiriwa.

20 He parahi ano nga titi katoa o te tapenakara, o te marae a tawhio noa.

21 Ko nga mea tenei o te tapenakara, ara o te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga, ko nga mea i whakaritea e Mohi i tana korero hei mahi ma nga Riwaiti i raro i te ringa o Itamara, tama a Arona tohunga.

22 Na hanga ana e Petareere tama a Uri, tama a Huru, o te iwi o Hura, nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi.

23 Ko tona hoa ko Ahoriapa, tama a Ahihamaka no te iwi o Rana, he kaimahi, he mea mohio, he kaiwhakairo hoki i te puru, i te papura, i te ngangana, i te rinena pai.

24 A, ko te koura katoa i mahia mo nga mea, mo nga mea katoa o te wahi tapu, te koura o te whakahere, e rua tekau ma iwa taranata, e whitu rau e toru tekau hekere, he hekere wahi tapu.

25 A, ko te hiriwa o te hunga i taua o te whakaminenga, kotahi rau taranata, kotahi mano e whitu rau e whitu tekau ma rima hekere, he hekere wahi tapu.

26 Kotahi te pekaha a te tangata, ara kotahi te hawhe hekere, ko te hekere hoki o te wahi tapu, na te hunga hoki i haere kia taua, na nga mea e rua tekau, maha atu ranei, o ratou tau; e ono rau hoki o ratou mano e toru mano e rima rau e rima tekau.

27 A i whakarewaina nga taranata hiriwa kotahi rau hei turanga pou mo te wahi tapu, hei turanga pou hoki mo te arai; kotahi rau taranata, kotahi rau nga turanga, kotahi te taranata, kotahi te turanga.

28 A i hanga e ia nga hekere kotahi mano e whitu rau e whitu tekau ma rima hei matau mo nga pou, a whakakikoruatia iho e ia nga pito ki runga, whakawhaiawhitia hoki.

29 A e whitu tekau nga taranata o te parahi o te whakahere, e rua hoki mano e wha rau hekere.

30 Hanga ake e ia nga turanga pou mo te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, te aata parahi; me tona pae kupenga, te mea parahi; me nga mea katoa o te aata;

31 Me nga turanga pou o te marae a tawhio noa, me nga turanga pou mo te kuwaha o te marae, me nga titi katoa o te tapenakara, me nga titi katoa o te marae a tawhio noa.

36 So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person(A) to whom the Lord has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary(B) are to do the work just as the Lord has commanded.”

Then Moses summoned Bezalel(C) and Oholiab(D) and every skilled person to whom the Lord had given ability and who was willing(E) to come and do the work. They received from Moses all the offerings(F) the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning. So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough(G) for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done.”

Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more(H) than enough to do all the work.

The Tabernacle(I)

All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands. All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] 10 They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five. 11 Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set. 12 They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 13 Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.(J)

14 They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 15 All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[b] 16 They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set. 17 Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 18 They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.(K) 19 Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.[c]

20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,[d] 22 with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 24 and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 25 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames 26 and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 27 They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 28 and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end. 29 At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike. 30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

31 They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 32 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 33 They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames. 34 They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35 They made the curtain(L) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. 36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases. 37 For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer;(M) 38 and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.

The Ark(N)

37 Bezalel(O) made the ark(P) of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[e] He overlaid it with pure gold,(Q) both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

He made the atonement cover(R) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. Then he made two cherubim(S) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing(T) the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.(U)

The Table(V)

10 They[f] made the table(W) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[g] 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold(X) and made a gold molding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth[h] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings(Y) were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.

The Lampstand(Z)

17 They made the lampstand(AA) of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 18 Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 19 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 21 One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 22 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.(AB)

23 They made its seven lamps,(AC) as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. 24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent[i] of pure gold.

The Altar of Incense(AD)

25 They made the altar of incense(AE) out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high[j]—its horns(AF) of one piece with it. 26 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. 27 They made two gold rings(AG) below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. 28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.(AH)

29 They also made the sacred anointing oil(AI) and the pure, fragrant incense(AJ)—the work of a perfumer.

The Altar of Burnt Offering(AK)

38 They[k] built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits[l] high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.[m] They made a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar were of one piece, and they overlaid the altar with bronze.(AL) They made all its utensils(AM) of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating. They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. They inserted the poles into the rings so they would be on the sides of the altar for carrying it. They made it hollow, out of boards.

The Basin for Washing

They made the bronze basin(AN) and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women(AO) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

The Courtyard(AP)

Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits[n] long and had curtains of finely twisted linen, 10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 11 The north side was also a hundred cubits long and had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

12 The west end was fifty cubits[o] wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 13 The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide. 14 Curtains fifteen cubits[p] long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, 15 and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases. 16 All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 17 The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver; so all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. It was twenty cubits[q] long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits[r] high, 19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. 20 All the tent pegs(AQ) of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

The Materials Used

21 These are the amounts of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the covenant law,(AR) which were recorded at Moses’ command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar(AS) son of Aaron, the priest. 22 (Bezalel(AT) son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the Lord commanded Moses; 23 with him was Oholiab(AU) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan—an engraver and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.) 24 The total amount of the gold from the wave offering used for all the work on the sanctuary(AV) was 29 talents and 730 shekels,[s] according to the sanctuary shekel.(AW)

25 The silver obtained from those of the community who were counted in the census(AX) was 100 talents[t] and 1,775 shekels,[u] according to the sanctuary shekel— 26 one beka per person,(AY) that is, half a shekel,[v] according to the sanctuary shekel,(AZ) from everyone who had crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more,(BA) a total of 603,550 men.(BB) 27 The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the bases(BC) for the sanctuary and for the curtain—100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent for each base. 28 They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make their bands.

29 The bronze from the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.[w] 30 They used it to make the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all its utensils, 31 the bases for the surrounding courtyard and those for its entrance and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and those for the surrounding courtyard.

23  Me i reira ka korero a Ihu ki te mano, ki ana akonga hoki,

Ka mea, Kei te nohoanga o Mohi nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi e noho ana:

Ko nga mea katoa e mea ai ratou hei pupuri ma koutou, puritia, mahia; kei rite ia a koutou mahi ki a ratou mahi: ko ta ratou hoki he korero, kahore he mahi.

E hereherea ana hoki e ratou nga wahanga taimaha, he uaua me ka pikaua, a whakawaha iho ki runga ki nga pokohiwi o te tangata; heoi kahore ratou e pai kia whakakorikoria ki tetahi o o ratou maihao.

Ko a ratou mahi katoa e meatia ana hei matakitaki ma te tangata; e whakawhanuitia ana e ratou a ratou pairakere; e whakanuia ana ano nga taniko o o ratou kakahu;

Ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia,

Me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, a kia karangatia e te tangata, E Rapi.

Otiia aua koutou e karangatia, E Rapi: kotahi hoki to koutou kaiwhakaako; a he tuakana, he teina, koutou katoa.

Kaua ano tetahi e kiia hei matua mo koutou i runga i te whenua: kotahi hoki to koutou Matua, ko tera i te rangi.

10 Kaua ano koutou e kiia he kaiarahi: kotahi ano to koutou kaiarahi, ko te Karaiti.

11 Ko te mea nui rawa hoki o koutou, hei kaimahi ia ma koutou.

12 Ki te whakahira hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; a ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakahirangia.

13 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e tutakina ana hoki e koutou te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga tangata: kahore koutou e tomo, kahore ano e tukua te hunga e tomo ana kia tapoko.

14 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! no te mea ka pau i a koutou nga whare o nga pouaru, a e maminga ana ki te inoi roa: mo reira he nui rawa te he e tau ki a koutou.

15 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e taiawhiotia ana hoki e koutou te moana me te whenua, kia tahuri mai ai tetahi hei porohiraiti, a, no ka riro mai, ka meinga ia e koutou hei tamaiti mo Kehena, kino noa atu i a koutou.

16 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga kaiarahi matapo, e mea nei, Ki te oatitia te whare tapu e tetahi, he mea noa ano; otira ki te oatitia e tetahi te koura o te whare tapu, ka mau tana!

17 E nga kuware, e nga matapo: ko tehea te mea nui, ko te koura ranei, ko te whare tapu ranei i tapu ai te koura?

18 Me tenei, Ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, he mea noa ano: otira ki te oatitia te whakahere i runga i te aata, ka mau tana.

19 E nga kuware, e nga matapo, ko tehea te mea nui, ko te whakahere, ko te aata ranei i tapu ai te whakahere?

20 Na, ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me nga mea katoa i runga.

21 Ki te oatitia e tetahi te whare tapu, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me te kainoho o roto.

22 Ki te oatitia hoki e tetahi te rangi, e oatitia ana e ia te torona o te Atua, me te kainoho o runga.

A Warning Against Hypocrisy(A)(B)

23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law(C) and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.(D)

“Everything they do is done for people to see:(E) They make their phylacteries[a](F) wide and the tassels on their garments(G) long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;(H) they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.(I)

“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father,(J) and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant.(K) 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.(L)

Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees

13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!(M) You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.(N) [14] [b]

15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,(O) and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell(P) as you are.

16 “Woe to you, blind guides!(Q) You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’(R) 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?(S) 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?(T) 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells(U) in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.(V)
