Old/New Testament
27 1 The Altar of the burnt offering. 9 The courts of the Tabernacle. 20 The lamps continually burning.
1 Moreover thou shalt make the [a]Altar of Shittim wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad (the altar shall be four square) and the height thereof three cubits.
2 And thou shalt make it horns in the four corners thereof: the horns shall be of [b]itself, and thou shalt cover it with brass.
3 Also thou shalt make his ash pans for his ashes, and his besoms, and his basins, and his flesh-hooks, and his [c]censers: thou shalt make all the instruments thereof of brass.
4 And thou shalt make unto it a grate, like network of brass: also upon that [d]grate shalt thou make four brazen rings upon the four corners thereof.
5 And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the grate may be in the midst of the altar.
6 Also thou shalt make bars for the altar, bars, I say, of Shittim wood, and shalt cover them with brass.
7 And the bars thereof shall be put in the rings, the which bars shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.
8 Thou shalt make the altar hollow between the boards: as God showeth thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9 ¶ Also thou shalt make the [e]court of the Tabernacle in the South side, even full South: the court shall have curtains of fine twined linen, of an hundred cubits long, for one side,
10 And it shall have twenty pillars, with their twenty sockets of brass: the heads of the pillars, and their [f]fillets shall be silver.
11 Likewise on the North side in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and the twenty pillars thereof with their twenty sockets of brass: the heads of the pillars and the fillets shall be silver.
12 ¶ And the breadth of the court, on the West side shall have curtains of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars, and their ten sockets.
13 And the breadth of the court, Eastward full East, shall have [g]fifty cubits.
14 Also hangings of fifteen cubits shall be on the one [h]side with their three pillars and their three sockets.
15 Likewise on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
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 wrought with needle, with the four pillars thereof and their four sockets.
17 All the pillars of the court shall have fillets of silver round about, with their heads of silver, and their sockets of brass.
18 ¶ The length of the court shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty [i]at either end, and the height five cubits, and the hangings of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.
19 All the vessels of the Tabernacle for all manner service thereof, and all the [j]pins thereof, and all the pins of the court shall be brass.
20 ¶ And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive [k]beaten for the light, that the lamps may always [l]burn.
21 In the Tabernacle of the Congregation without the veil, which is before the Testimony, shall Aaron and his sons dress them from evening to morning before the Lord, for a statute forever unto their generations, to be observed by the children of Israel.
28 1 The Lord calleth Aaron and his sons to the Priesthood. 4 Their garments. 13, 29 Aaron entereth into the Sanctuary in the name of the children of Israel. 30 Urim and Thummim. 38 Aaron beareth the iniquity of the Israelites’ offerings.
1 And cause thou thy brother Aaron to come unto thee, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me in the Priest’s office: I mean, Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar Aaron’s sons.
2 Also thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, [m]glorious and beautiful.
3 Therefore thou shalt speak unto all [n]cunning men, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to [o]consecrate him, 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 [p]Ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: so these holy garments shall they make for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, 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 broidered work.
7 The two shoulders thereof shall be joined together by their two edges: so shall it be closed.
8 And the [q]embroidered girdle of the same Ephod, which shall be upon him, shall be of the selfsame work and stuff, even of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 And thou shalt take two Onyx stones, and grave upon them the names of the children of Israel.
10 Six names of them upon the one stone, and the six names that remain, upon the second stone, according to [r]their generations.
11 Thou shalt cause to grave the two stones according to the names of the children of Israel, by a graver of signets that worketh and graveth in stone, and shalt make them to be set and embossed in gold.
12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the Ephod, as stones of [s]remembrance of the children of Israel: for Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders for a remembrance.
13 So thou shalt make bosses of gold,
14 ¶ And two chains of fine gold [t]at the end, of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and shalt fasten the wreathen chains upon the bosses.
15 ¶ Also thou shalt make the breastplate of [u]judgment with broidered work: like the work of the Ephod shalt thou make it: of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen shalt thou make it.
16 [v]Foursquare it shall be and double, an hand breadth long and an hand breadth broad.
17 Then thou shalt set it full of places for stones, even four rows of stones: the order shall be this, a [w]ruby, a topaz, and a [x]carbuncle in the first row.
18 And in the second row thou shalt set an [y]emerald, a sapphire, and a [z]diamond.
19 And in the third row a turquoise, an agate, and an Hematite.
20 And in the fourth row [aa]a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: and they shall be set in gold in their embossments.
21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, graven as signets, every one after his name, and they shall be for the twelve tribes.
22 ¶ Then thou shalt make upon the breastplate two chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
23 Thou shalt make also upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and put the two rings on [ab]the two ends of the breastplate.
24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings in the ends of the breastplate.
25 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains, thou shalt fasten in the two embossments, and shalt put them upon the shoulders of the Ephod upon the foreside of it.
26 ¶ Also thou shalt make two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the [ac]two other ends of the breastplate, upon the border thereof, toward the inside of the Ephod.
27 And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath in the forepart of it over against the coupling of it upon the broidered girdle of the Ephod.
28 Thus shall they bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blue silk, that it may be fast upon the broidered girdle of the Ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the Ephod.
29 So Aaron shall [ad]bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth into the holy place for a remembrance continually before the Lord.
30 ¶ Also thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment, the [ae]Urim and the Thummim, which shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goeth in before the Lord, and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually.
31 ¶ And thou shalt make the robe of the Ephod altogether of blue silk.
32 And the hole for his head shall be in the midst of it, having an edge of woven work round about the collar of it: so shall it be as the collar of an habergeon, that it rent not.
33 ¶ And beneath upon the skirts thereof, thou shalt make pomegranates of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet round about the skirts thereof, and bells of gold between them round about:
34 That is, a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate round about upon the skirts of the robe.
35 So shall it be upon Aaron, when he ministereth, and his sound shall be heard when he goeth into the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, and he shall not die.
36 ¶ Also thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave thereon, as signets are graven, [af]HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37 And thou shalt put it on a blue silk lace, and it shall be upon the mitre, even upon the forefront of the mitre shall it be.
38 So shall it be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may [ag]bear the iniquity of the offerings, which the children of Israel shall offer in all their holy offerings: and it shall be always upon his forehead, to make them acceptable before the Lord.
39 Likewise thou shalt embroider the fine linen coat, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, but thou shalt make a girdle of needle work.
40 Also thou shalt make for Aaron’s sons coats, and thou shalt make them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make them for glory and comeliness.
41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and on his sons with him, and shalt anoint them, and [ah]fill their hands, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the Priest’s office.
42 Thou shalt also make them linen breeches to cover their privities: from the loins unto the thighs shall they reach.
43 And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, when they come into the Tabernacle [ai]of the Congregation, or when they come unto the altar to minister in the holy place, that they [aj]commit not iniquity, and so die. This shall be a law forever unto him, and to his seed after him.
21 1 Christ rideth on an ass unto Jerusalem. 12 He casteth out the sellers. 13 The house of prayer. 19 The withered fig tree. 25 John’s baptism. 28 Who do the will of God. 30 Publicans, Harlots. 33 God’s vineyard. The Jews. 38 The son killed of the husbandmen. 42 The cornerstone.
1 And (A)[a]when they drew near to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying to them, Go into the town that is over against you, and anon ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them, and straightway [b]he will let them go.
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying,
5 ¶ (B)Tell ye the [c]daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek and sitting upon an ass, and a colt, the foal of an ass used to the yoke.
6 So the disciples went, and did as Jesus had commanded them,
7 And brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their [d]clothes, and set him [e]thereon.
8 And a great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 Moreover, the people that went before, and they also that followed, cried, saying, [f]Hosanna to the Son of David, [g]Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord, Hosanna thou which art in the highest heavens.
10 (C)And when he was come into Jerusalem, [h]all the city was moved, 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 them (D)that sold and bought in the Temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said to them, It is written, (E)My house shall be called the house of prayer: but (F)ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 Then the blind, and the halt came to him, in the Temple, and he healed them.
15 [i]But when the chief Priests and Scribes saw the marvels that he did, and the children crying in the Temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they disdained,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said unto them, Yea: read ye never, (G)By the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast [j]made perfect the praise?
17 ¶ [k]So he left them, and went out of the city unto Bethany, and lodged there.
18 [l]And (H)in the morning, as he returned into the city, he was hungry.
19 And seeing a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it, Never fruit grow on thee henceforward. And anon the fig tree withered.
20 And when his disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered!
21 [m]And Jesus answered and said unto them, (I)Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, and [n]doubt not, ye shall not only do that, which I have done to the fig tree, but also if ye say unto this mountain, Take thyself away, and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
22 (J)And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, if ye believe, ye shall receive it.
