Old/New Testament
36 5 The great readiness of the people. 8 The curtains made. 19 The coverings. 20 The boards. 31 The bars, 35 and the veil.
1 Then wrought Bezalel, and Aholiab, and all [a]cunning men, to whom the Lord gave wisdom, and understanding, to know how to work all manner work for the service of the [b]Sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded.
2 For Moses had called Bezalel, and Aholiab, and all the wise-hearted men, in whose hearts the Lord had given wisdom, even as many as their hearts encouraged to come unto that work to work it.
3 And they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the Sanctuary, to make it: also [c]they brought still unto him free gifts every morning.
4 So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy work, came every man from his work which they wrought,
5 And spake to Moses, saying, The people bring too [d]much, and more than enough for the use of the work, which the Lord hath commanded to be made.
6 Then Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the host, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the oblations of the Sanctuary. So the people were stayed from offering.
7 For the stuff they had, was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8 (A)All the cunning men therefore among the workmen, made for the Tabernacle ten curtains of fine twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet: [e]Cherubims of broidered work made they upon them.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the curtains were all of one size.
10 And he coupled five curtains together, and another five coupled he together.
11 And he made strings of blue silk by the edge of one curtain, in the selvedge of the coupling: likewise he made on the side of the other curtain in the selvedge in the second coupling.
12 (B)Fifty strings made he in the one curtain, and fifty strings made he in the edge of the other curtain, which was in the second coupling: the strings were set one against another.
13 After, he made fifty [f]taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the taches: so was it one Tabernacle.
14 ¶ Also he made curtains of goats’ hair for the [g]covering upon the Tabernacle: he made them to the number of eleven curtains.
15 The length of one curtain had thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains were of one size.
16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 Also he made fifty strings upon the edge of one curtain in the selvedge in the coupling, and fifty strings made he upon the edge of the other curtain in the second coupling.
18 He made also fifty taches of brass to couple the covering that it might be one.
19 And he made a [h]covering upon the pavilion of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above.
20 ¶ Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of Shittim wood to [i]stand up.
21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of one board was a cubit and an half.
22 One board had two tenons, set in order as the feet of a ladder, one against another: thus made he for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
23 So he made twenty boards for the South side of the Tabernacle, even full South.
24 And forty sockets of silver made he under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
25 Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twenty boards.
26 And their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 Likewise toward [j]the West side of the Tabernacle he made six boards.
28 And two boards made he in the corners of the Tabernacle for either side,
29 And they were (C)joined beneath, and likewise were made sure above with a ring: thus he did to both in both corners.
30 So there were eight boards, and their sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 ¶ After, he made (D)bars of Shittim wood, five for the boards in the one side of the Tabernacle,
32 And five bars for the boards in the other side of the Tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the West.
33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards, from the one end to the other.
34 He overlaid also the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and covered the bars with gold.
35 ¶ Moreover he made a [k]veil of blue silk and purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen: with Cherubims of broidered work made he it:
36 And made thereunto four pillars of Shittim, and overlaid them with gold: whose [l]hooks were also of gold, and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 And he made an [m]hanging for the Tabernacle door, of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, and needle work,
38 And the five pillars of it with their hooks, and overlaid their chapiters, and their [n]fillets with gold, but their five sockets were of brass.
37 1 The Ark. 6 The Mercy seat. 10 The Table. 17 The Candlestick. 25 The altar of incense.
1 After this, Bezalel made the (E)Ark of Shittim wood, two cubits and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and a cubit and an half high:
2 And overlaid it with fine gold within and without, and made a [o]crown of gold to it round about,
3 And cast for it four rings of gold for the four corners of it: that is, two rings for the one side of it, and two rings for the other side thereof.
4 Also he made bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with gold,
5 And put the bars in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
6 ¶ And he made the (F)Mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and an half was the length thereof, and one cubit and an half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two Cherubims of gold, upon the two ends of the Mercy seat: even of work beaten with the hammer made he them.
8 One Cherub on the one end, and another Cherub on the other end: [p]of the Mercy seat made he the Cherubims, at the two ends thereof.
9 And the Cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered the Mercy seat with their wings and their faces were one towards another: toward the Mercy seat were the faces of the Cherubims.
10 ¶ Also he made the Table of Shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and an half the height of it.
11 And he overlaid it with fine gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about.
12 Also he made thereto a border of an [q]hand breadth round about, and made upon the border a crown of gold round about.
13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
14 Against the border were the rings, as places for the bars to bear the Table.
15 And he made the bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with gold to bear the Table.
16 (G)Also he made the instruments for the Table of pure gold: dishes for it, and incense cups for it, and goblets for it, and coverings for it, wherewith it should be covered.
17 ¶ Likewise he made the Candlestick of pure gold: of work beaten out with the hammer made he the Candlestick: and his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers were of one piece.
18 And six branches came out of the sides thereof: three branches of the Candlestick out of the one side of it, and three branches of the Candlestick out of the other side of it.
19 In one branch three bowls made like almonds, a knop and a flower: and in another branch three bowls made like almonds, a knop and a flower: and so throughout the six branches that proceeded out of the Candlestick.
20 And upon the Candlestick were four bowls after the fashion of almonds, the knops thereof and the flowers thereof.
21 That is, under every two branches a knop made thereof, and a knop under the second branch thereof, and a knop under the third branch thereof, according to the six branches coming out of it.
22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: it was all one (H)beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he made for it seven lamps with the snuffers, and snuffdishes thereof of pure gold.
24 Of a [r]talent of pure gold made he it with all the instruments thereof.
25 ¶ Furthermore he made the (I)perfume altar of Shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit (it was square) and two cubits high, and the horns thereof were of the same.
26 And he covered it with pure gold, both the top and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it, and made unto it a crown of gold round about.
27 And he made two rings of gold for it, under the crown thereof in the two corners of the two sides thereof, to put bars in for to bear it therewith.
28 Also he made the bars of Shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the holy (J)anointing oil, and the sweet pure incense after the apothecary’s art.
38 1 The altar of burnt offerings. 8 The brazen Laver. 9 The Court. 24 The sum of that the people offered.
1 Also he made the altar of the burnt offering of (K)Shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof: it was square and three cubits high.
2 And he made unto it horns in the four corners thereof: the horns thereof were of the same, and he overlaid it with brass.
3 Also he made all the instruments of the altar: the [s]ashpans, and the besoms and the basins, the fleshhooks, and the (L)censers: all the instruments thereof made he of brass.
4 Moreover, he made a brazen grate wrought like a net to the Altar, under the compass of it beneath in the [t]midst of it.
5 And cast four rings of brass for the four ends of the grate to put bars in.
6 And he made the bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with brass.
7 The which bars he put into the rings on the sides of the altar to bear it withal, and made it (M)hollow within the boards.
8 ¶ Also he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass of the [u]glasses of the women that did assemble and came together at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
9 ¶ Finally, he made the court on the South side full South: the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, having an hundred cubits.
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brazen sockets twenty: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And on the North side the hangings were an hundred cubits: their pillars twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty, the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets of silver.
12 On the west side also were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars with their ten sockets: the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets of silver.
13 And toward the East side, full East were hangings of fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side were fifteen cubits, their three pillars, and their three sockets:
15 (N)And of the other side of the court gate on both sides were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 But the sockets of the pillars were of brass: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver, and the covering of their chapiters of silver: and all the pillars of the court were hooped about with silver.
18 He made also the hanging of the gate of the court of needle work, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen even twenty cubits long, and five cubits in height and breadth, [v]like the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four with their four sockets of brass: their hooks of silver, and the covering of the chapiters, and their fillets of silver.
20 But all the (O)pins of the Tabernacle and of the court round about were of brass.
21 ¶ These are the parts of the Tabernacle, I mean, of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which was appointed by the commandment of Moses for the office of the [w]Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the Priest.
22 So Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
23 And with him Aholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a [x]cunning workman and an embroiderer, and a worker of needle work in blue silk, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.
24 All the gold that was occupied in all the work wrought for the holy place (which was the gold of the offering) was nine and twenty talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.
25 But the silver of them that were numbered in the Congregation, was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
26 A [y]portion for a man, that is, half a shekel after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for all them that were numbered from twenty years old and above, among six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty men.
27 Moreover there were an hundred talents of silver, to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil: an hundred sockets of an hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 But he made the hooks for the pillars of a thousand seven hundred and seventy and five shekels, and overlaid their chapiters, and made fillets about them.
29 Also the brass of the offering was seventy [z]talents, and two thousand, and four hundred shekels.
30 Whereof he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate which was for it, with all the instruments of the Altar.
31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the (P)pins of the Tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
23 2 How the Scribes teaching the people the Law of Moses, behave themselves. 5 Their Phylacteries, and Fringes. 7 Greetings. 8 We are brethren. 9 The Father. 10 The servant. 13 To shut the kingdom of heaven. 14 To devour widow’s houses. 15 A Proselyte. 16 To swear by the Temple. 23 To tithe mint. 25 To cleanse the outside of the cup. 27 Painted sepulchers. 33 Serpents, vipers. 37 The Hen.
1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 [a]Saying, The (A)Scribes and the Pharisees [b]sit in Moses’ seat.
3 [c]All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do: but after their works do not: for they say, and do not.
4 (B)[d]For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 [e]All their works they do for to be seen of men: for they make their [f]phylacteries broad, and make long [g]the (C)fringes of their garments,
6 (D)And love the chief place at feasts, and to have the chief seats in the [h]assemblies,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, [i]Rabbi.
8 (E)[j]But be not ye [k]called, Rabbi: for [l]one is your doctor, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
9 And (F)call no man your [m]father upon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heaven.
10 Be not called [n]doctors: for one is your doctor, even Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you, let him be your servant.
12 (G)For whosoever [o]will exalt himself, shall be brought low: and whosoever will humble himself, shall be exalted.
13 ¶ [p]Woe therefore be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, [q]hypocrites, because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven before men: for ye yourselves go not in, neither suffer ye them that would [r]enter, to come in.
14 (H)[s]Woe be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye devour widows’ houses, even [t]under a color of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compass sea and [u]land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell, than you yourselves.
16 Woe be unto you blind guides, which say, Whosoever sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the gold of the Temple, he [v]offendeth.
17 Ye fools and blind, Whether is greater, the gold, or the Temple that [w]sanctifieth the gold?
18 And whosoever sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the offering that is upon it, offendeth.
19 Ye fools and blind, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
20 Whosoever therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 (I)And whosoever sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 (J)And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the [x]throne of God, and by him that sitteth theron.
