Old/New Testament
34 And the LORD said to Moses, “Carve for yourself two Tablets of stone, like the first. And I will write upon the Tablets the words that were on the first Tablets which you broke in pieces.
2 “And be ready in the morning, so that you may come up to Mount Sinai early; and wait there for Me on the top of the mount.
3 “But let no man come up with you. And do not let any man be seen throughout all the mount. And do not let the sheep or cattle feed before this mount.
4 Then Moses carved two Tablets of stone like the first. And he rose up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took the two Tablets of stone in his hand.
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 cried, “The LORD! The LORD! Strong! Merciful! Gracious! Slow to anger! Abundant in goodness and Truth!
7 Reserving mercy for thousands! Forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin! Not making the wicked innocent! Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon children’s children, to the third and fourth generation!”
8 Then Moses quickly bowed himself to the earth, and worshipped,
9 and said, “O Lord, I pray—if I have found grace in Your sight—that the LORD would now go with us (for we are a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us for Your inheritance.”
10 And He answered, “Behold, I will make a covenant before all your people, and will do marvels such as have not been done in all the world, nor in all nations. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the LORD. For it is a fearful thing that I will do with you.
11 “Diligently keep that which I command you this day. Behold, I will cast out the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites before you.
12 “Guard yourself against making any compact with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest they become a snare among you.
13 “But you shall overthrow their altars and break their images in pieces and cut down their Asherim.
14 “For you shall bow down to no other god (because the LORD, Whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
15 “Otherwise, you may make a compact with the inhabitants of the land. And when they go a-whoring after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, they may call you and you may eat from their sacrifice.
16 “Or, when you take their daughters for your sons, their daughters may go a- whoring after their gods and may make your sons go a-whoring after their gods.
17 “You shall make no gods of metal for yourself.
18 “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread for seven days (as I commanded you) during the month of Abib. For you came out of Egypt in the month of Abib.
19 “Every male that first opens the womb shall be Mine. Also, all the firstborn of your livestock shall be Mine, both cattle and sheep.
20 “But the first of the donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you do not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. And no one shall appear before Me empty.
21 “You shall work six days. And on the seventh day, you shall rest. You shall rest, both in earing time and in the harvest.
22 “Also, you shall observe the Feast of Weeks during the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year.
23 “Three times in a year, all your male children shall appear before the LORD, Jehovah, God of Israel.
24 “For I will dispossess the nations before you and enlarge your borders, so that no man shall covet your land when you shall come up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year.
25 “You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall any of the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover be left until the morning.
26 “You shall bring the first ripe fruits of your land to the House of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”
27 And the LORD said to Moses, “Write these Words. For according to the tenor of these Words I have made a Covenant with you and with Israel.”
28 So, he was there with the LORD for forty days and forty nights, neither eating bread nor drinking water. And he wrote the Words of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, on the Tablets.
29 And it happened that when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two Tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand as he descended from the mount), he did not know that the skin of his face shone brightly after God had talked with him.
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked at Moses. And behold, the skin of his face shone brightly. And they were afraid to come near him.
31 But Moses called to them. And Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to 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 to him on Mount Sinai.
33 So, Moses made an end of communing with them and put a covering upon his face.
34 But, when Moses came before the LORD to speak with Him, he took off the covering until he came out. Then, he came out and spoke to the children of Israel all that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, how the skin of Moses’ face shone brightly. Therefore, Moses put the covering upon his face until he went to speak with God.
35 Then Moses assembled all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, “These are the words which the LORD has commanded, that you should do them:
2 “Six days shall you work, but the seventh day shall be to you the Holy Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does work thereon, shall die.
3 “Upon the Sabbath day, you shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations.”
4 Again, Moses spoke to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD commands, saying,
5 ‘Take an offering to the LORD, from among you. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring this offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and copper,
6 “blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, fine linen and goats’ hair,
7 “rams’ skins (dyed red) and badgers’ skins (with shittim wood),
8 “oil for light, spices (for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense),
9 “onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
10 “And all the wise-hearted among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded:
11 “the Tabernacle and its pavilion, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its poles, its pillars, and its sockets,
12 “the Ark and its poles, the Mercy Seat and the veil that covers it,
13 “the Table and its poles and all its instruments, the Showbread,
14 “the Lampstand for light, its instruments and its lamps with the oil for the light,
15 “the Altar of Incense and its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the veil of the door at the entrance of the Tabernacle,
16 “the Altar of Burnt Offering with its copper grate, its poles, all its instruments, the basin and its pedestal,
17 “the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the veil of the gate of the court,
18 “the pegs of the Tabernacle, the pegs of the court (with their cords),
19 “the ministering garments to minister in the Holy Place, the holy garments of Aaron the Priest and the garments of his sons, so 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 everyone whose heart encouraged him, and everyone 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 its uses and for the holy garments.
22 Both men and women, as many as were of a willing heart, came and brought clasps and earrings and rings and bracelets (all jewels of gold). So was everyone who offered an offering of gold to the LORD.
23 Also, every man who 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 who offered an oblation of silver, and of copper, brought the offering to the LORD. And everyone who had shittim wood for any kind of ministry work, brought it.
25 And all the skilled women spun with their hands and brought the spun work: the blue silk, the purple, the scarlet, and fine linen.
26 Likewise, all the women whose hearts were moved with skill, spun goats’ hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate,
28 and spice and oil (for light and for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense).
29 Every man and woman of the children of Israel whose hearts had moved them to willingly contribute to all the work which the LORD had commanded them to make (by the hand of Moses), brought a free offering to the LORD.
30 Then Moses said to the children of Israel, “Behold, the LORD has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31 “And He has filled him with an excellent spirit of wisdom—of understanding, and of knowledge, in all manner of workmanship—
32 “to create ingenious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
33 “in cutting and setting stones, in woodcarving, and the making of any type of fine work.
34 “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach others—both he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 “He has filled them with skill to create all types of engraving and embroidery and needle work, in blue silk, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen and weaving, to do all kinds of work and design.”
23 The same day, the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Him and asked Him,
24 saying, “Master, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed to his brother.’
25 “Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first married a wife and died. And having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26 “Likewise also the second, and the third, up to 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 to them, “You are deceived, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 “For in the resurrection they neither marry wives, nor are wives bestowed in marriage. But they are as the angels of God in Heaven.
31 “And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what is spoken to you from God, saying,
32 “‘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 astonished at His doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together.
35 And one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying,
36 “Master, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 “This is the first and the greatest Commandment.
39 “And the second is similar. That is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 “On these two Commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, “What do you think of Christ? Whose son is He?” They said to him, “David’s.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David, in spirit, call Him ‘Lord’, saying,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool?
45 If, then, David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?
46 And no one could answer Him a word. Nor did anyone ask Him any more questions from that day forth.
