Old/New Testament
7 2 The heads or princes of Israel offer at the setting up of the Tabernacle. 10 And at the dedication of the Altar. 19 God speaketh to Moses from the Mercy seat.
1 Now when Moses had finished the setting up of the Tabernacle, and (A)anointed it and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, and the altar with all the [a]instruments thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them,
2 Then the [b]princes of Israel, heads over the houses of their fathers, (they were the princes of the tribes, who were over them that were numbered) offered,
3 And brought their offering before the Lord, six [c]covered chariots, and twelve oxen: one chariot for two princes, and for every one an ox, and they offered them before the Tabernacle.
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
5 Take these of them, that they may be to do the [d]service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according unto his office.
6 So Moses took the chariots and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites:
7 Two chariots and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according unto their [e]office.
8 And four chariots and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according unto their office, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the Priest.
9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, [f]because the charge of the Sanctuary belonged to them, which they did bear upon their shoulders.
10 ¶ The princes also offered in the [g]dedication for the altar in the day that it was anointed: then the princes offered their offering before the altar.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses, One prince one day, and another prince another day, shall offer their offering, for the dedication of the altar.

89 And when Moses went into the [j]tabernacle of the Congregation to speak with God, he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from the Mercy seat, that was upon the Ark of the Testimony [k]between the two Cherubims, and he spake unto him.
8 2 The order of the lamps. 6 The purifying and offering of the Levites. 24 The age of the Levites when they are received to service, and when they are dismissed.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light toward the [l]forefront of the Candlestick.
3 And Aaron did so, lighting the lamps thereof toward the forefront of the Candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 And this was the work of the Candlestick, even of gold beaten out with the hammer, both the shaft, and the flower thereof (C)was beaten out with the hammer: [m]according to the pattern which the Lord had showed Moses, so made he the Candlestick.
5 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and purify them.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, when thou purifiest them, Sprinkle [n]water of purification upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and wash their clothes: so they shall be clean.
8 Then they shall take a young bullock with his meat offering of fine flour, mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
9 Then thou shalt bring the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and assemble [o]all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
10 Thou shalt bring the Levites also before the Lord, and the [p]children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord, as a shake offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.
12 And the Levites shall put their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering unto the Lord, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Levites.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a shake offering to the Lord.
14 Thus thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be (D)mine.
15 And afterward shall the Levites go in, to serve in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt purify them, and offer them as a shake offering.
16 For they are freely given (E)unto me from among the children of Israel, for [q]such as open any womb: for all the firstborn of the children of Israel have I taken them unto me.
17 (F)For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and beast: since the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel,
19 And have given the Levites as a gift unto Aaron, and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the [r]children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near unto the [s]Sanctuary.
20 ¶ Then Moses and Aaron and all the Congregation of the children of Israel did with the Levites, according unto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites: so did the children of Israel unto them.
21 So the Levites were purified, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a shake offering before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement for them, to purify them.
22 And after that, went the Levites in to do their service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, [t]before Aaron and before his sons: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did unto them.
23 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
24 This also belongeth to the Levites: from five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in, to execute their office in the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
25 And after the age of fifty years, they shall cease from executing the [u]office, and shall serve no more.
26 But they shall minister [v]with their brethren in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keep things committed to their charge, but they shall do no service: thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
21 ¶ [a]Also he said unto them, (A)Cometh the candle in, to be put under a bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put in a candlestick?
22 (B)For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened, neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 [b]And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear. (C)With what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you: and unto you that hear, shall more be given.
25 (D)For unto him that hath, shall it be given, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away even that he hath.
26 ¶ [c]Also he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed in the ground.
27 And [d]should sleep, and rise up night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he [e]not knowing how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit [f]of itself, first the blade, then the ears, after that full corn in the ears.
29 And as soon as the fruit showeth itself, anon he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 ¶ (E)[g]He said moreover, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is the least of all seeds that be in the earth:
32 But after that it is sown, it groweth up, and is greatest of all herbs, and beareth great branches, so that the fowls of the heaven may build under the shadow of it.
33 And (F)with many such parables he preached the word unto them, [h]as they were able to hear it.
34 And without parables spake he nothing unto them: but he [i]expounded all things to his disciples apart.
35 ¶ (G)Now the same day when even was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And they left the multitude, and took him as he was in the ship, and there was also with him other little ships.
37 [j]And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves dashed into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the stern asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose up, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the wind ceased, and it was a great calm.
40 Then he said unto them, [k]Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the wind and sea obey him?
