Old/New Testament
27 “Moreover, you shall make the Altar of shittim wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad (the altar shall be square) and the height thereof three cubits
2 “And you shall make horns for it in its four corners. The horns shall be made of the same wood; and you shall cover it with copper.
3 “Also, you shall make its ash pans for its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its fleshhooks, and its fire pans. You shall make all its instruments of copper.
4 “And you shall make a grate for it, a network of copper. Upon that grate you shall also make four copper rings, on its four corners.
5 “And you shall put it under the edge of the altar beneath, so that the grate may be in the midst of the altar.
6 “Also, you shall make poles for the altar (poles of shittim wood) and shall cover them with copper.
7 “And its poles shall be put in the rings, to bear it. The poles shall be upon the two sides of the altar.
8 “You shall make the altar hollow between the boards. As God showed you on the mount, so shall they make it.
9 “Also, you shall make the court of the Tabernacle on the south side. The court shall have curtains of fine-twined linen on one side, a hundred cubits long.
10 “And it shall have twenty pillars, with their twenty pedestals of copper. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, shall be silver.
11 “Likewise, for the whole length of the north side, there shall be hangings of a hundred cubits long, as well as its twenty pillars with their twenty pedestals of copper. The hooks of the pillars, and the bands, shall be silver.
12 “And on the west side, the breadth of the court shall have curtains of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars and their ten pedestals.
13 “And the breadth of the court on the east side shall be fifty cubits.
14 “Also, hangings of fifteen cubits shall be on one side, with their three pillars and their three pedestals.
15 Likewise, on the other side, shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three pedestals.
16 “And in the gate of the court shall be a veil of twenty cubits of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, expertly woven, with its four pillars and their four sockets.
17 “All the pillars of the court shall have bands of silver all around, with their hooks of silver and their pedestals of copper.
18 “The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty, (at either end) and the height five cubits; and the hangings shall be made of fine-twined linen and their sockets of copper.
19 “All the vessels of the Tabernacle (for all manner of its service), and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the court shall be copper.
20 “And you shall command the children of Israel to bring to you pure oil of pressed olive for the light, so that the lamps may always burn.
21 “In the Tabernacle of the Congregation, outside the veil which is before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep order before the LORD from evening to morning, as an everlasting statute to their generations on behalf of the children of Israel.
28 “And have your brother Aaron come to you, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, so that he may serve Me in the Priest’s office. That is, Aaron and his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2 “Also, you shall make holy garments for Aaron, your brother, for glory and beauty.
3 “Therefore, you shall speak to all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with the Spirit of wisdom, so that they make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him, so that he may serve Me in the Priest’s office.
4 “Now, these shall be the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and an embroidered coat, a turban, and a sash. So shall they make these holy garments for Aaron, your brother, and for his sons, so that he may serve Me in the Priest’s office.
5 “Therefore, they shall take gold, and blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
6 “And they shall make the ephod of gold, blue silk, and purple, scarlet, and fine-twined linen of skillful workmanship.
7 “Its two shoulders shall be joined together by their two edges. So shall it be closed.
8 And the ingenious band of the same ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same workmanship: of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine- twined linen.
9 “And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel,
10 “six names upon one stone and the other six names upon the second stone, according to their generations.
11 “You shall have the two stones engraved according to the names of the sons of Israel, as an engraver of signets who works and engraves in stone. And you shall have them set and embossed in gold.
12 “And you shall put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod, as memorial stones of the sons of Israel. For Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13 “So, you shall make settings of gold,
14 “and two chains of fine gold at the end. You shall make them of interwoven, corded work and shall fasten the corded chains upon the settings.
15 “Also, you shall make the breastplate of judgment with skilled workmanship. You shall make it like the work of the ephod. You shall make it of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen.
16 “It shall be square, double-folded, a hand-breadth long and a hand-breadth broad.
17 “Then you shall set it full of places for stones, four rows of stones. The order shall be this: a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald in the first row.
18 “And in the second row you shall set an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 “And in the third row: a turquoise, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 “And in the fourth row: a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. And they shall be set in gold settings.
21 “And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, according to their names, engraved as signets, every one after his name. They shall be for the twelve tribes.
22 “Then you shall make two chains upon the breastplate, at the ends, of braided work of pure gold.
23 “You shall also make two rings of gold upon the breastplate and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 “And you shall put the two braided, corded chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
25 “And at the other two ends of the two braided chains, you shall fasten the two settings, and shall put them upon the shoulders of the ephod, upon the front of it.
26 “Also, you shall make two rings of gold, which you shall put at the other two ends of the breastplate, upon its border, toward the inside of the ephod.
27 “And, you shall make two rings of gold and put them on the two sides of the ephod, underneath, on the front of it, near the coupling, upon the ingenious band of the ephod.
28 “Thus shall they bind the breastplate: by its rings to the rings of the ephod, with a lace of blue silk, so that it may be fastened upon the ingenious band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate is not loosened from the ephod.
29 “So, Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment, upon his heart, when he goes into the Holy Place, as a memorial before the LORD continually.
30 “Also, you shall put the Urim and the Thummim on the breastplate of judgment which shall be upon Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the LORD. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
31 “And you shall make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue silk.
32 “And the hole for his head shall be in the middle of it, having an edge of woven work all around the collar of it. It shall be as the collar of a coat of mail, so that it does not tear.
33 “And below, upon its hem, you shall make pomegranates of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet all around its hem, and bells of gold between them, all around
34 (a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around, upon the hem of the robe).
35 It shall be upon Aaron when he ministers. And his sound shall be heard when he goes into the Holy Place before the LORD and when he comes out, so he shall not die.
36 “Also, you shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it (as signets are engraved) HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37 And you shall put it on a blue silk lace; and it shall be upon the turban. It shall be upon the front of the turban.
38 “So shall it be upon Aaron’s forehead, so that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the offerings which the children of Israel shall offer in all their holy offerings. And it shall always be upon his forehead, to make them acceptable before the LORD.
39 “You shall embroider the fine linen coat; and you shall make a turban of fine linen. And you shall make a sash of skillful needle work.
40 “Also, you shall make tunics for Aaron’s sons; and you shall make them sashes. And you shall make them hats, for glory and beauty.
41 “And you shall put them upon Aaron, your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, so that they may minister to Me in the Priest’s office.
42 “You shall also make them linen trousers to cover their nakedness. They shall reach from the hips to the thighs.
43 “And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, when they come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they come to the Altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they do not commit iniquity, and so die. This shall be a Law forever to him, and to his seed after him.
21 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of the Olives. Then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, “Go into the town in front of you, and soon you shall find a donkey bound, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to Me.
3 “And if anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord has need of them. And immediately he will let them go.”
4 All this was done that what was spoken by the Prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King comes to you, meek and sitting upon a donkey; and upon a colt, the foal of a beast of burden’.”
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had commanded them;
7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and put their garments on them, and set Him upon it.
8 And a great multitude spread their garments in the way. And others cut down branches from the trees and strew them in the way.
9 Moreover, the people who went before, as well as those who followed, cried, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna, in the highest!”
10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 And the people said, “This is Jesus, that Prophet of Nazareth in Galilee.”
12 And Jesus went into the Temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the Temple; and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of those who sold doves;
13 and said to them, “It is written! My house shall be called the House of Prayer! But you have made it a den of thieves!”
14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the Temple. And He healed them.
15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders that He did, and the children crying in the Temple, and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David”, they were angry,
16 and said to Him, “Do You hear what they say?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘By the mouth of children and infants You have made perfect the praise’?”
17 So He left them and went out of the city, to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 And in the morning, as He returned into the city, He was hungry.
19 And seeing a fig tree on the way, He came to it. And finding nothing on it but leaves, He said to it, “May fruit never grow on you again.” And immediately the fig tree withered.
20 And when His disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How quickly that fig tree withered!”
21 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you shall not only do this to the fig tree, but it shall also be done if you say to this mountain, ‘Take yourself away, and cast yourself into the sea’.
22 “And whatever you shall ask in prayer - if you believe - you shall receive it.”
