Old/New Testament
34 1 The Tables are renewed. 6 The description of God. 12 All fellowship with idolaters is forbidden. 18 The feasts. 28 Moses is 40 days in the mount. 30 His face shineth, and he covereth it with a veil.
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, (A)Hew thee two Tables of stone, like unto the first, and I will write upon the Tables the words that were in the first Tables, which thou brakest in pieces.
2 And be ready in the morning, that thou mayest come up early unto the mount of Sinai, and [a]wait there for me in the top of the mount.
3 But let no man come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the sheep nor cattle feed [b]before this mount.
4 Then Moses hewed [c]two Tables of stone like unto the first, and rose up early in the morning, and went up unto the mount of Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two Tables of stone.
5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
6 So the Lord passed before his face, and [d]cried, The Lord, the Lord, strong, merciful, and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
7 Reserving mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, and transgression and sin, and not [e]making the wicked innocent, (B)visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon children’s children, unto the third and fourth generation.
8 Then Moses made haste and bowed himself to the earth, and worshipped,
9 And said, O Lord, I pray thee, If I have found grace in thy sight, that the Lord would now go with us ([f]for it is a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10 And he answered, Behold, (C)I will make a covenant before all thy people, and will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the world, neither in all nations: and all the people among whom thou art, shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11 Keep diligently that which I command thee this day: Behold, I will cast out before thee the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
12 (D)Take heed to thyself, that thou make no compact with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest they be the cause of [g]ruin among you:
13 But ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their images in pieces, and cut down their [h]groves,
14 (For thou shalt bow down to none other god, because the Lord, whose Name is (E)Jealous, is a jealous God.)
15 Lest thou make a (F)compact with the inhabitants of the land, and when they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, some man call thee, and thou (G)eat of his sacrifice.
16 And lest thou take of their (H)daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 Thou shalt make thee no gods of [i]metal.
18 The feast of (I)unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the (J)month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou camest out of Egypt.
19 (K)Every male that first openeth the womb, shall be mine: also all the firstborn of thy flock shall be reckoned mine, both of beeves and sheep.
20 But the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then thou shalt break his neck: all the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou redeem, and none shall appear before me(L)[j]empty.
21 ¶ (M)Six days shalt thou work, and in the seventh day thou shalt rest: both in earing time, and in the harvest thou shalt rest.
22 ¶ (N)Thou shalt also observe the feast of weeks in the time of the firstfruits, of wheat harvest, and the feast of gathering fruits in [k]the end of the year.
23 ¶ (O)Thrice in a year shall all your men children appear before the Lord Jehovah God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before thee and enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall [l]desire thy land, when thou shalt come up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice in the year.
25 (P)Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passover be left unto the morning.
26 The first ripe fruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not [m]seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
27 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of (Q)these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 So he was there with the Lord [n]forty days and forty nights, and did neither eat bread nor drink water, and he wrote in the Tables (R)the words of the covenant, even the [o]Ten commandments.
29 ¶ So when Moses came down from mount Sinai, the two Tables of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand, as he descended from the mount: (now Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone bright, after that God had talked with him).
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked upon Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone bright, and they were [p]afraid to come near him.
31 But Moses called them: and Aaron and all the chief of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he charged them with all that the Lord had said unto him in mount Sinai.
33 So Moses made an end of communing with them, (S)and had put a covering upon his face.
34 But, when Moses came [q]before the Lord to speak with him, he took off the covering until he came out: then he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, how the skin of Moses’ face shone bright: therefore Moses put the covering upon his face, until he went to speak with God.
35 2 The Sabbath. 5 The free gifts are required. 21 The readiness of the people to offer. 30 Bezalel and Aholiab are praised of Moses.
1 Then Moses assembled all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them:
2 (T)Six days thou shalt work, but the seventh day shall be unto you the holy [r]Sabbath of rest unto the Lord: whosoever doeth any work therein, shall die.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations upon the Sabbath day.
4 ¶ Again, Moses spake unto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, saying,
5 Take from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a (U)willing heart, let him bring this offering to the Lord, namely gold, and silver and brass:
6 Also blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
7 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins with Shittim wood:
8 Also oil for light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the breastplate.
10 And all the wise [s]hearted among you, shall come and make all that the Lord hath commanded:
11 That is, the (V)Tabernacle, the pavilion thereof, and his covering, and his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12 The Ark, and the bars thereof: the Mercy seat, and the veil that [t]covereth it,
13 The Table, and the bars of it, and all the instruments thereof, and the showbread:
14 Also the Candlestick of light and his instruments, and his lamps with the oil for the light:
15 (W)Likewise the Altar of perfume and his bars, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the veil of the door at the entering in of the Tabernacle,
16 The (X)Altar of burnt offering with his brazen grate, his bars and all his instruments, the laver and his foot,
17 The hangings of the court, his pillars and his sockets, and the veil of the gate of the court,
18 The pins of the Tabernacle, and the pins of the court with their cords,
19 The [u]ministering garments to minister in the holy place, and the holy garments of Aaron the Priest, and the garments of his sons, that they may minister in the Priest’s office.
20 ¶ Then all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And every one, whose heart [v]encouraged him, and every one, whose spirit made him willing, came and brought an offering to the Lord, for the work of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and for all his uses, and for the holy garments.
22 Both men and women, as many as were free hearted, came and brought [w]taches and earrings, and rings, and bracelets, all were jewels of gold: and every one that offered an offering of gold unto the Lord:
23 Every man also, which had blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, brought them.
24 All that offered an oblation of silver and of brass, brought the offering unto the Lord: and every one, that [x]had Shittim wood for any manner work of the ministration, brought it.
25 And all the women that were [y]wise-hearted, did spin with their hands, and brought the spun work, even the blue silk, and the purple, the scarlet, and fine linen.
26 Likewise all the women, [z]whose hearts were moved with knowledge, spun goats’ hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the breastplate:
28 Also spice, and oil for light, and for the (Y)anointing oil, and for the sweet perfume.
29 Every man and woman of the children of Israel, whose hearts moved them willingly to bring for all the work which the Lord had commanded them to make [aa]by the hand of Moses, brought a free offering unto the Lord.
30 ¶ Then Moses said unto the children of Israel, Behold, (Z)the Lord hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah,
31 And hath filled him [ab]with an excellent spirit of wisdom, of understanding, and of knowledge, and in all manner work,
32 To find out curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in graving stones to set them, and in carving of wood, even to make any manner of fine work.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach other: 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 [ac]of cunning (AA)and broidered, and needle work: in blue silk, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen and weaving, even to do all manner of work and subtle inventions.
23 ¶ (A)[a]The same day the Sadducees came to him, (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,
24 Saying, Master, (B)Moses said, If a man die, having no [b]children, his brother shall marry his wife by the right of alliance, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now therefore were with us seven brethren, and the first married a wife, and deceased: and having no issue, left his wife unto his brother.
26 Likewise also the second, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for all had her.
29 Then Jesus answered, and said unto them, Ye are deceived, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry wives, nor wives are bestowed in marriage, but are as the [c]Angels of God in heaven.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what is spoken unto you of God, saying,
32 (C)I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
34 ¶ (D)[d]But when the Pharisees had heard, that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they assembled together.
35 And [e]one of them, which was an expounder of the Law, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, (E)Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy [f]soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and the great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto this, (F)Thou shalt love thy [g]neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hangeth the whole Law and the Prophets.
41 ¶(G)[h]While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? [i]whose son is he? They said unto him, David’s.
43 He said unto them, How then doth David in spirit, call him Lord, saying,
44 (H)The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If then David call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And none could answer him a word, neither durst any from that day forth ask him any more questions.
