Psalm 99

99 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou -- Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!

Exodus 39:32-43

32 And all the service of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting is completed; and the sons of Israel do according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses; so they have done.

33 And they bring in the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all its vessels, its hooks, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;

34 and the covering of rams' skins, which are made red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering;

35 the ark of the testimony and its staves, and the mercy-seat;

36 the table, all its vessels, and the bread of the presence;

37 the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps of arrangement, and all its vessels, and the oil for the light.

38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the spice-perfume, and the covering of the opening of the tent;

39 the brazen altar and the brazen grate which it hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base.

40 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets; and the covering for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pins; and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

41 the coloured clothes to minister in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to act as priest in.

42 According to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done all the service;

43 and Moses seeth all the work, and lo, they have done it as Jehovah hath commanded; so they have done. And Moses doth bless them.

Matthew 14:1-12

14 At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,

and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.'

For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,

for John was saying to him, `It is not lawful to thee to have her,'

and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,

whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.

And she having been instigated by her mother -- `Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist;

and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;

10 and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,

11 and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother.

12 And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,
