10 “‘And every wisehearted among you shall come and make all that the Lord hath commanded:
11 the tabernacle, his tent and his covering, his clasps, and his boards, his bars, his pillars and his sockets;
12 the ark and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat and the veil of the covering;
13 the table and his staves and all his vessels, and the showbread;
14 the candlestick also for the light, and his furniture and his lamps with the oil for the light;
15 and the incense altar and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle;
16 the altar of burnt offering with his brazen grate, his staves and all his vessels, the laver and his foot;
17 the hangings of the court, his pillars and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court;
18 the pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court and their cords;
19 the clothes of service to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office.’”
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord’S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service and for the holy garments.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willinghearted, and brought bracelets and earrings, and rings and tablets, all jewels of gold; and every man who offered, offered an offering of gold unto the Lord.
23 And every man with whom was found blue and purple and scarlet, and fine linen and goats’ hair, and red skins of rams and badgers’ skins, brought them.
24 Every one who offered an offering of silver and brass brought the Lord’S offering; and every man with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service brought it.
25 And all the women who were wisehearted spun with their hands and brought that which they had spun, both of blue and of purple, and of scarlet and of fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate,
28 and spices, and oil for the light and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the Lord, every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, “See, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah.
31 And He hath filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
32 and to devise skillful works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,
33 and in the cutting of stones to set them, and in carving of wood to make any manner of skillful work.
34 And He hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.
35 Them hath He filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work of the engraver and of the skilled workman, and of the embroiderer in blue and in purple, in scarlet and in fine linen, and of the weaver —even of those who do any work and of those who devise skillful work.”
36 Then Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wisehearted man in whom the Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, wrought according to all that the Lord had commanded.
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wisehearted man in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up, to come unto the work to do it.
3 And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it thereby. And they brought yet unto him freewill offerings every morning.
4 And all the wise men who wrought all the work of the sanctuary came every man from his work which they made,
5 and they spoke unto Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded to make.”
6 And Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing,
7 for the supply they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8 And every wisehearted man among them who wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of finetwined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet; with cherubims of skillful work made he them.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; the curtains were all of one size.
10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another, and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvage in the coupling. Likewise he made in the outermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second; the loops held one curtain to another.
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the clasps. So it became one tabernacle.
14 And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he made them.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain; the eleven curtains were of one size.
16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops upon the outermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
18 And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above that.
20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing upright.
21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22 One board had two tenons equally distant one from another. Thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 And he made boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.
24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards
26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29 And they were coupled beneath and coupled together at the head thereof to one ring; thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30 And there were eight boards, and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 And he made bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.
33 And he made the middle bar to extend through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 And he made a veil of blue and purple and scarlet, and finetwined linen; with cherubims he made it of skillful work.
36 And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 And he made a hanging for the tabernacle door of blue and purple and scarlet, and finetwined linen, of needlework,
38 and the five pillars of it with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, but their five sockets were of brass.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear His cross.
33 And when they had come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a Place of a Skull,
34 they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall. And when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink.
35 And they crucified Him and parted His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They parted My garments among them, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.”
36 And sitting down, they watched Him there,
37 and set up over His head His accusation, written: This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand and another on the left.
39 And those who passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads
40 and saying, “Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself! If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders said,
42 “He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let Him deliver him now, if He will have him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44 The thieves also, who were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is to say, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”
47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This man calleth for Elijah.”
48 And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed and gave Him to drink.
49 The rest said, “Let be; let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.”
50 Jesus, when He had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth quaked and the rocks rent.
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose,
53 and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the Holy City and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto Him,
56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
57 When the evening had come, there came a rich man of Arimathea named Joseph, who himself also was Jesus’ disciple.
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher and departed.
61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulcher.
62 Now the next day, that following the Day of the Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 saying, “Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 Command therefore that the sepulcher be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away, and say unto the people, ‘He is risen from the dead,’ so that the last error shall be worse than the first.”
65 Pilate said unto them, “Ye have a watch. Go your way, make it as secure as ye can.”
66 So they went and made the sepulcher secure, sealing the stone and setting up a watch.
34 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto Him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him!
9 O fear the Lord, ye His saints! For them that fear Him suffer no want.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth for himself shame, and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a reproach.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
