38 And he made the Mizbe’ach HaOlah of acacia wood; five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the width thereof; it was ravu’a (square, foursquare); and three cubits the height thereof.
2 And he made the karenot thereof on the four corners of it; the karenot thereof were from it; and he overlaid it with nechoshet.
3 And he made all the Klei HaMizbe’ach, the pots, and the shovels, and the sprinkling basins, and the meat hooks, and the firepans; all the utensils thereof made he of nechoshet.
4 And he made for the Mizbe’ach a mikhbar (grate, netting), a meshwork of nechoshet under the encompassing border thereof downward unto the middle of it.
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the mikhbar of nechoshet, to be housing for the carrying poles.
6 And he made the carrying poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with nechoshet.
7 And he put the carrying poles into the rings on the sides of the Mizbe’ach, to bear it withal; he made the Mizbe’ach hollow with luchot.
8 And he made the Kiyor of nechoshet, and the stand of it of nechoshet, of the mirrors of the tzve’ot, who assembled at the petach Ohel Mo’ed.
9 And he made the khatzer; on the south side southward the hangings of the khatzer were of twisted fine linen, a hundred cubits;
10 Their ammudim were twenty, and their sockets of nechoshet twenty; the hooks of the ammudim and their bands were of kesef.
11 And for the north side the hangings were a hundred cubits, their ammudim were twenty, and their sockets of nechoshet twenty; the hooks of the ammudim and their bands of kesef.
12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ammudim ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the ammudim and their bands of kesef.
13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits; their ammudim shloshah, and their sockets shloshah.
15 And for the other side. On each side of the khatzer, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their ammudim shloshah, and their sockets shloshah.
16 All the hangings of the khatzer all around were of twisted fine linen.
17 And the sockets for the ammudim were of nechoshet; the hooks of the ammudim and their bands of kesef; and the overlaying of their tops of kesef; and all the ammudim of the khatzer were banded with kesef.
18 And the masach for the sha’ar of the khatzer was the artistic work of an embroiderer, of turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool, and twisted fine linen; and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in width was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the khatzer.
19 And their ammudim were four, and their sockets of nechoshet four; their hooks of kesef, and the overlaying of their tops and their bands of kesef.
20 And all the tent pegs of the Mishkan, and of the khatzer all around, were of nechoshet.
21 These are the pekudei Mishkan, even of the Mishkan HaEdut, as it was recorded, according to the command of Moshe, for the Avodat HaLevi’im, by the yad of Itamar ben Aharon the kohen.
22 And Bezalel ben Uri ben Chur, of the tribe of Yehudah, made all that Hashem commanded Moshe.
23 And with him was Oholiav ben Achisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an artistic carver, weaver, and an embroiderer in turquoise, and in purple, and in scarlet wool, and fine linen.
24 All the zahav that was occupied for the work in all the work of HaKodesh, even the zahav of the tenufah, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of HaKodesh.
25 And the kesef of them that were numbered of HaEdah was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of HaKodesh:
26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of HaKodesh, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
27 And of the hundred talents of kesef were cast the sockets of HaKadosh, and the sockets of the Parochet; a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the ammudim, and overlaid their tops, and made bands for them.
29 And the nechoshet of the tenufah was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30 And therewith he made the sockets to the petach Ohel Mo’ed, and the Mizbe’ach HaNechoshet, and the mikhbar hanechoshet for it, and all the Klei HaMizbe’ach,
31 And the sockets of the khatzer all around, and the sockets of the khatzer sha’ar, and all the tent pegs of the Mishkan, and all the tent pegs of the khatzer all around.
17 These things said Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. And having lifted up his eyes to Shomayim, he said, Avi, the sha’ah (hour, time) has come. Give kavod to your Ben [HaElohim], that HaBen may give kavod to You,
2 Vi-bahlt (since) you have given him samchut (authority) over kol basar for this purpose: in order that all which you have given him, HaAv may give to them Chayyei Olam. [DANIEL 7:14]
3 And this is Chayyei Olam, that they may have da’as of the only Elohei HaEmes (G-d of Truth, True G-d) and Yehoshua, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach whom You sent.
4 I have given You kavod on ha’aretz, having completed the melakhah which You have given me, that I should do.
5 And now give me kavod, Avi, along with Yourself with the kavod which I was having with You before HaOlam came to be [Yn 1:1 3; Prov 8:30; 30:4].
6 I manifested Shemecha to the Bnei Adam whom You gave me out of the Olam Hazeh. They were Yours and to me You gave them, and regarding the dvar of You they have been shomer.
7 Now they have da’as that all things whatsoever You have given to me are from You.
8 Because the dvarim which You gave me, of these I have been shomer, and they received them, and they have da’as beemes that from You I came forth, and they have emunah that You sent me.
9 I make a bakosha (petition, request) concerning them, I do not make a bakosha concerning the Olam Hazeh, but concerning the Ones You have given me, because they are Yours.
10 And all things that are mine are Yours, and Your things are mine, and I have been given kavod in them.
11 And I am no longer in the Olam Hazeh, but they are in the Olam Hazeh, and I am coming to You, Avi HaKadosh. Be shomer over them in Shmecha, which You have given me, that they may be Echad as we are Echad. [Ps 133:1; Dt 6:4; Gn 2:24]
12 When I was with them, I was keeping them in the Shem of You, which You have given me, and I kept shomer, and none of them perished or was lost, except the Ben HaAvaddon (the Son of Destruction, Perdition, the state of final spiritual ruin, Gehinnom), that the Kitvei Hakodesh might be fulfilled. [TEHILLIM 24:22; 41:9; 109:4,5,7,8]
13 And now to You I am coming, and I speak these things in the Olam Hazeh that they may have my simcha made shleimah in themselves.
14 I have given to them the dvar of You and the Olam Hazeh has had sin’as chinom (hatred without cause) of them, because they are not of the Olam Hazeh, just as I am not of the Olam Hazeh.
15 I do not make a bakosha that You take them out of the Olam Hazeh, but that You keep them from HaRah.
16 They are not of the Olam Hazeh, just as I am not of the Olam Hazeh.
17 Set them apart for a use that is kodesh in HaEmes (The Truth). [1Kgs 17:24; 2Sm 7:28] Your Dvar is HaEmes.
18 As You sent me into the Olam Hazeh, so also I send them into the Olam Hazeh. [TEHILLIM 119:142, 160]
19 And for their sake, I set myself apart as kodesh that they also may be set apart for use that is kodesh in HaEmes.
20 However, I do not make a bakosha concerning these only, but also concerning the ones becoming ma’aminim in me [as Moshiach] because of their Dvar,
21 That all may be echad, as You, Avi, are in me and I am in You, [YIRMEYAH 32:39] that also they may be in us, that the Olam Hazeh may have emunah (faith) that You sent me.
22 The kavod which You have given me, I have given them, that they may be echad just as we are echad.
23 I in them and You in me that they may become tamim (perfect) in Achdut (Unity) that the Olam Hazeh may have da’as that You sent me, and had ahavah for them, just as You have ahavah for me.
24 Elohim Avi, as to that which You have given me, I desire that where I am, those also may be with me, that they may behold my kavod, which You have given me, because You had ahavah for me before the hivvased haOlam.
25 Avi HaTzaddik, indeed the world did not have da’as of You, but I knew You, and these ones knew that You sent me.
26 And I have made known to them the Shem of You and will make it known, that the ahavah with which You loved me may be in them and I in them.
14 Chachmot nashim buildeth her bais, but the foolish pulleth it down with her hands.
2 He that walketh in his yashar feareth Hashem, but he that is devious in his drakhim despiseth Him.
3 In the peh (mouth) of the fool is a rod of ga’avah (pride), but the sfatayim (lips) of the chachamim shall be shomer over them and preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the evus (feeding trough) is clean, but much increase is by the ko’ach of the shor (ox).
5 An ed emunim will not lie, but an ed sheker will utter lies.
6 A scoffer seeketh chochmah, and findeth it not, but da’as cometh easily unto him that is discerning.
7 Go from the presence of an ish kesil, when thou perceivest not in him the sfatayim (lips) of da’as (knowledge).
8 The chochmah of the prudent is to understand his derech, but the folly of kesilim is mirmah (deceit).
9 Fools mock at guilt, but among the yesharim (upright ones) there is ratzon (favor).
10 The lev knoweth its own bitterness, and a zar (stranger) doth not share its simchah.
11 The bais of the resha’im shall be shmad, but the ohel of the yesharim shall flourish.
12 There is a derech (road) which seemeth yashar (right) unto an ish, but the acharit (latter end, future) thereof are the drakhim of mavet.
13 Even in sekhok (laughter) the lev is sad, and the acharit (latter end) of that simchah is grief.
14 The sug (backslider, faithless one) in lev is filled with his own drakhim (roads), but an ish tov shall be satisfied from above himself.
15 The naive believeth every davar, but the prudent looketh with care to his steps.
16 A chacham feareth, and departeth from rah, but the kesil throweth off restraint and is arrogantly reckless.
17 He that is quicktempered dealeth folly, and an ish mezimot (a man of crafty schemes) is hated.
18 The naive inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with da’as.
19 The ra’im will bow before the tov’im, and the resha’im at the she’arim of the tzaddik.
20 The poor is hated even by his own re’a (neighbor), but the oisher hath many friends.
21 He that despiseth his re’a sinneth, but he that is kind to the anayim (needy ones), happy is he.
22 Do they not go astray that plot rah? But chesed and emes shall be to them that plan tov.
23 In all hard work there is profit, but idle chatter of the sfatayim (lips) tendeth only to makhsor (poverty, want).
24 The ateret chachamim is their riches, but the foolishness of kesilim is folly.
25 An ed emes (true witness) saveth nefashot (souls, lives), but a lying witness is a betrayer.
26 In the Yirat Hashem is strong confidence, and his banim shall have a place of refuge.
27 The Yirat Hashem is a makor chayyim (fountain of life) to turn one away from the snares of mavet.
28 In the multitude of people is the glory of a melech, but in the lack of subjects is the ruin of the prince.
29 He that is slow to wrath is of rav tevunah (great understanding), but he that is angrily impulsive exalteth folly.
30 A lev marpeh (sound mind) is life to the basar, but kinah (envy) is the rottenness of the atzmot (bones).
31 He that oppresseth the dal (poor) showeth contempt for his Oseh (Maker), but he that honoreth Him is kind to the evyon (needy).
32 The reshah is banished in his ra’ah, but the tzaddik hath refuge in his mot (death).
33 In the lev of the discerning reposes chochmah, but that which is in kesilim is made known.
34 Tzedakah exalteth a nation, but chattat (sin) is a reproach to any people.
35 The ratzon melech (king’s favor) is toward an eved maskil (a wise servant), but his wrath is against him that bringeth shame.
1 From Sha’ul and Timotiyos, servants of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua; To all the Kadoshim in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua who are in the city of Philippi with the supervising mashgichim ruchaniyim (spiritual overseers, zekenim, mivakkerim, supervisors) and the klei kodesh (ministers), the ministering messianic shammashim.
2 Chen v’chesed Hashem and shalom Hashem from Elohim Avinu and Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
3 Modeh Ani (I thank) my G-d upon every zikaron (remembrance) of you,
4 Always in every tefillah of mine on behalf of all of you, davening with simcha, making techinnah (supplication)
5 In view of your deveykus Hashem, your chavrusa partnership in the Besuras HaGeulah from day one until now.
6 Being convinced of this: that He who began a pe’ulah hatovah (good work 2:13) in you, will bring that mitzvoh to completion [TEHILLIM 138:8] by Yom Hashem, the Yom Adoneinu, Moshiach Yehoshua [1:10; 2:16].
7 It is in fact b’tzedek for me to have hitbonenut (profound contemplation) about you all because I hold you in my lev with hartzige (heartfelt) sincerity, both in regard to my sharsherot (prison chains) and in the apologetic hitstaddekut (defense) and vindicatory work for the Besuras HaGeulah, you being all deveykus (attachment to G-d) participators in the Chen v’Chesed Hashem given to me.
8 For der Oybershter is mine eidus (G-d is my witness) how I yearn for all of you with the ahavas Moshiach Yehoshua.
9 And my tefillah (prayer) is this, that your ahavah (love) [in Moshiach] may yet increase more and more in profound da’as and binah
10 To help you approve the feste (excellent) things of musar (moral discipline) that matter, that you may be sincere and without michshol (stumbling block) of blame [2:15] in the Yom HaMoshiach [1:6; 2:16],
11 Having been filled with the p’ri Tzedek (fruit of righteousness) through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to the kavod Hashem and His tiferet (splendor).
12 I want you to have da’as, Achim b’Moshiach, that the things concerning me have fallen out to an even greater advancement (1:25) of the Besuras HaGeulah [2Ti 2:9].
13 So that my sharsherot (chains—1:7) have become a hisgalus (revelation) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach! In all the imperial guard and the public at large!
14 And most of the Achim b’Adoneinu, having been strengthened in bitachon by my sharsherot (chains), are more readily willing to dare to fearlessly proclaim the Dvar Hashem.
15 Indeed some darshanim (preachers) preach their derashot (sermons) out of a ruach that is mekanne (jealous, envious) and one of madon (strife); but some have derashot proclaiming Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and these darshanim have kavvanah tovah (good intention).
16 These latter proclaim Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach out of a ruach of ahavah, having da’as that the purpose of my divinely destined appointment here is for the hitstaddekut (apologetic defense) of the Besuras HaGeulah.
17 But those other ones preach Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach out of anochiyut (selfishness 2:3), not with a lev tahor (pure in heart) motive, lu yetzuuyar (assuming) by means of my sharsherot (1:13-14) to stir up tzoros.
18 Nu? Whether the maggidim are or are not perfect in their intent, the significant thing is that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is preached! And in this I have simcha. And I will go right on having simcha!
19 For, I have da’as that through your tefillos for me and through the ezrah (aid) given by the Ruach Moshiach, this will turn out for my Yeshu’ah (rescue, salvation 1:28; 2:12) [Ro 8:28].
20 It is my confident tikvah that in nothing I will be put to bushah (shame), but with all ometz lev (courage, boldness YEHOSHUA 1:7) as always, even now, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach will be magnified in my basar (1:13), whether through Chayyim (Life) or through Mavet (Death).
21 For to me to live is Moshiach [Ga 2:20] and to die is revach (gain, profit, hanaa).
22 But if it means I am to go on living in the basar, this for me is p’ri for Hashem in the work of avodas kodesh ministry. What will I choose? I do not have da’as.
23 I am kleir (deliberating). I am pulled two drakhim (ways) by a happy dilemma, on the one tzad (side) having the desire to depart and be with Moshiach, for this is much better [2C 5:8].
24 But on the other tzad (side) to remain in the basar is more necessary for your sake.
25 And having been convinced of this fact, I have da’as that I blaib (remain, continue unchanged) and will continue with all of you, for your advancement (1:12) and simcha of the [Orthodox Jewish] Emunah [cf. 1:27; 1Ti 3:9; 4:1,6; 5:8; 6:10,21; Yd 3],
26 With the ultimate aim that by coming to you again your glorying may abound in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
27 Only one thing: conduct in practice your torat haEzrakhut (citizenship, see 3:20) worthily of the Besuras HaGeulah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear concerning you that you are standing like a ma’oz (fortress, bastion) in one ruach, with one neshamah, contending for the Emunah (Yd 3; Pp 4:3) of the Besuras HaGeulah.
28 And, I might add, not having pachad (fear, terror) in reaction to anything as far as the mitnaggedim (the ones opposing) are concerned, which is a proof to them of their churban (destruction), but of your Yeshu’ah (salvation 1:19; 2:12], and this from Hashem.
29 For to you it was given on behalf of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, not only to have emunah in him but also on behalf of him to be laden with the burden of Messianic yissurim (sufferings 3:10),
30 With you having the same struggle, which you saw in me [Ac 16:22] and now hear to be in me [1:13].
