Chronicles 4-6
2Ch
4:1 Then he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and
twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
2Ch
4:2 Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim,
round in compass; and its height was five cubits; and a line of
thirty cubits encircled it.
2Ch
4:3 Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for ten
cubits, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it
was cast.
2Ch
4:4 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and
three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south,
and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set on them above,
and all their hinder parts were inward.
2Ch
4:5 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was worked like the
brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three
thousand baths.
2Ch
4:6 He made also ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and
five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the
burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests
to wash in.
2Ch
4:7 He made the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance
concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right
hand, and five on the left.
2Ch
4:8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on
the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of
gold.
2Ch
4:9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great
court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with
brass.
2Ch
4:10 He set the sea on the right side of
the house eastward, toward the south.
2Ch
4:11 Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram
made an end of doing the work that he did for king Solomon in the
house of God:
2Ch
4:12 the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two capitals which were
on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two
bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,
2Ch
4:13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two
rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the
capitals that were on the pillars.
2Ch
4:14 He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases;
2Ch
4:15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.
2Ch
4:16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the forks, and all its
vessels, did Huram his father make for king Solomon for the house of
Yahweh of bright brass.
2Ch
4:17 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay
ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
2Ch
4:18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the
weight of the brass could not be found out.
2Ch
4:19 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the
golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them;
2Ch
4:20 and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the
ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold;
2Ch
4:21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and
that perfect gold;
2Ch
4:22 and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire
pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner
doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the main hall
of the temple were of gold.
2Ch
5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was
finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had
dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and
put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
2Ch
5:2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads
of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses
of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the
covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2Ch
5:3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at
the feast, which was in
the seventh month.
2Ch
5:4 All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;
2Ch
5:5 and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all
the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests the
Levites bring up.
2Ch
5:6 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were
assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle,
that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
2Ch
5:7 The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its
place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even
under the wings of the cherubim.
2Ch
5:8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the
ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
2Ch
5:9 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from
the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there
it is to this day.
2Ch
5:10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses
put there
at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel,
when they came out of Egypt.
2Ch
5:11 It happened, when the priests were come out of the holy place,
(for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and
did not keep their divisions;
2Ch
5:12 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph,
Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine
linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the
east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests
sounding with trumpets;)
2Ch
5:13 it happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to
make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when
they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and
instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying,
For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever; that then
the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Yahweh,
2Ch
5:14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of
the cloud: for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.
2Ch
6:1 Then spoke Solomon, Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the
thick darkness.
2Ch
6:2 But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you
to dwell in forever.
2Ch
6:3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of
Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
2Ch
6:4 He said, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with
his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it,
saying,
2Ch
6:5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of
Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a
house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be
prince over my people Israel:
2Ch
6:6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and
have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
2Ch
6:7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for
the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
2Ch
6:8 But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart
to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:
2Ch
6:9 nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who
shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my
name.
2Ch
6:10 Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I am risen up
in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as
Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the
God of Israel.
2Ch
6:11 There have I set the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh,
which he made with the children of Israel.
2Ch
6:12 He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the
assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands
2Ch
6:13 (for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, five cubits long, and
five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst
of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees
before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward
heaven;)
2Ch
6:14 and he said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like
you, in heaven, or on earth; who keep covenant and loving kindness
with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
2Ch
6:15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you
promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it
with your hand, as it is this day.
2Ch
6:16 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your
servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying,
There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of
Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my
law as you have walked before me.
2Ch
6:17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be
verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
2Ch
6:18 But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven
and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house
which I have built!
2Ch
6:19 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his
supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer
which your servant prays before you;
2Ch
6:20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night,
even toward the place where you have said that you would put your
name; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward
this place.
2Ch
6:21 Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your people
Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yes, hear from your
dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
2Ch
6:22 If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him
to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in
this house;
2Ch
6:23 then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants,
bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head;
and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his
righteousness.
2Ch
6:24 If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because
they have sinned against you, and shall turn again and confess your
name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
2Ch
6:25 then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people
Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and
to their fathers.
2Ch
6:26 When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they
have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess
your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:
2Ch
6:27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and
of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they
should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your
people for an inheritance.
2Ch
6:28 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if
there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies
besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever
sickness there be;
2Ch
6:29 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all
your people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his
own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:
2Ch
6:30 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place and forgive, and
render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know;
(for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men;)
2Ch
6:31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they
live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
2Ch
6:32 Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people
Israel, when he shall come from a far country for your great name's
sake, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm; when they
shall come and pray toward this house:
2Ch
6:33 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do
according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the
peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your
people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have
built is called by your name.
2Ch
6:34 If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by
whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this
city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your
name;
2Ch
6:35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and
maintain their cause.
2Ch
6:36 If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin),
and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that
they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;
2Ch
6:37 yet if they shall repent themselves in the land where they are
carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the
land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done
perversely, and have dealt wickedly;
2Ch
6:38 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their
soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them
captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers,
and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have
built for your name:
2Ch
6:39 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their
prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive
your people who have sinned against you.
2Ch
6:40 Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your
ears be attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.
2Ch
6:41 Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you,
and the ark of your strength: let your priests, Yahweh God, be
clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
2Ch
6:42 Yahweh God, don't turn away the face of your anointed: remember
your loving
kindnesses to David your servant.

The

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

Acts 15
Act 15:1 Some men came
down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are
circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can't be saved."
Act 15:2 Therefore when
Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they
appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to
Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Act 15:3 They, being
sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and
Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great
joy to all the brothers.
Act 15:4 When they had
come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the
apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had
done with them.
Act 15:5 But some of
the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is
necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of
Moses."
Act 15:6 The apostles
and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Act 15:7 When there had
been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers,
you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by
my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News, and
believe.
Act 15:8 God, who knows
the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just
like he did to us.
Act 15:9 He made no
distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Act 15:10 Now therefore
why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the
disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Act 15:11 But we
believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just
as they are."
Act 15:12 All the
multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul
reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations
through them.
Act 15:13 After they
were silent, James answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
Act 15:14 Simeon has
reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a
people for his name.
Act 15:15 This agrees
with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Act 15:16 'After these
things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David,
which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up,
Act 15:17 That the rest
of men may seek after the Lord; All the Gentiles who are called by my
name, Says the Lord, who does all these things.
Act 15:18 All his works
are known to God from eternity.'
Act 15:19 "Therefore
my judgment is that we don't trouble those from among the Gentiles
who turn to God,
Act 15:20 but that we
write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from
sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Act 15:21 For Moses
from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being
read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
Act 15:22 Then it
seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly,
to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with
Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among
the brothers.
Act 15:23 They wrote
these things by their hand: "The apostles, the elders, and the
brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria,
and Cilicia: greetings.
Act 15:24 Because we
have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with
words, unsettling your souls, saying, 'You must be circumcised and
keep the law,' to whom we gave no commandment;
Act 15:25 it seemed
good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send
them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Act 15:26 men who have
risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 15:27 We have sent
therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same
things by word of mouth.
Act 15:28 For it seemed
good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you
than these necessary things:
Act 15:29 that you
abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things
strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep
yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
Act 15:30 So, when they
were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude
together, they delivered the letter.
Act 15:31 When they had
read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Act 15:32 Judas and
Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with
many words, and strengthened them.
Act 15:33 After they
had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from
the brothers to the apostles.
Act 15:34 But it seemed
good to Silas to stay there.
Act 15:35 But Paul and
Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the
Lord, with many others also.
Act 15:36 After some
days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let's return now and visit our
brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord,
to see how they are doing."
Act 15:37 Barnabas
planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Act 15:38 But Paul
didn't think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who
had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn't go with them to do
the work.
Act 15:39 Then the
contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other.
Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
Act 15:40 but Paul
chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the
grace of God.
Act 15:41 He went
through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
