The Voice of Yahweh
A Psalm of David.
29 (A)Ascribe to Yahweh, O [a]sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
Worship Yahweh (B)in the splendor of holiness.
3 The (C)voice of Yahweh is upon the waters;
The God of glory (D)thunders,
Yahweh is over [b](E)many waters.
4 The voice of Yahweh is (F)powerful,
The voice of Yahweh is full of splendor.
5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars;
Indeed, Yahweh breaks in pieces (G)the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon (H)skip like a calf,
And (I)Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of Yahweh hews out [c]flames of fire.
8 The voice of Yahweh causes the wilderness to tremble;
Yahweh causes the wilderness of (J)Kadesh to tremble.
9 The voice of Yahweh makes (K)the deer to calve
And strips the forests bare;
And (L)in His temple everything says, “Glory!”
16 Thus Moses did; according to all that Yahweh had commanded him, so he did.
17 Now (A)it happened, in the first month [a]of the second year, on the first day of the month, the [b]tabernacle was erected. 18 Moses erected the tabernacle and [c]laid its bases and set up its boards and [d]inserted its bars and erected its pillars. 19 He spread the tent over the tabernacle and placed the covering of the tent [e]on top of it, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 20 Then he took (B)the testimony and put it into the ark and [f]attached the poles to the ark and put the [g]mercy seat [h]on top of the ark. 21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle and (C)placed the veil of the screen and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 22 Then he (D)put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil. 23 He set the arrangement of (E)bread in order on it before Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 24 Then he placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle. 25 He (F)lighted the lamps before Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 26 Then he (G)placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the veil; 27 and he (H)burned fragrant incense on it, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 28 Then he placed the screen at the doorway of the tabernacle. 29 He (I)placed the altar of burnt offering before the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and he (J)offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 30 He placed the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing. 31 (K)From it Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet. 32 When they entered the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 33 He (L)erected the court all around the [i]tabernacle and the altar, and he put up the screen for the gateway of the court. Thus Moses finished the work.
The Glory of Yahweh
34 (M)Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the (N)glory of Yahweh (O)filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses (P)was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had dwelt on it, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle. 36 Now throughout all their journeys (Q)whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; 37 but (R)if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. 38 For throughout all their journeys, (S)the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
35 Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, “Release those men.” 36 And (A)the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go (B)in peace.” 37 But Paul said to them, “Having beaten us in public without trial, (C)men who are Romans, they have thrown us into prison. And now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out.” 38 And the policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. (D)They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans, 39 and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept requesting them (E)to leave the city. 40 And they went out of the prison and entered the house of (F)Lydia, and when they saw (G)the brothers, they [a]encouraged them and left.
