Exodus
36, 37
Exo
36:1 "Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted
man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to
work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all
that Yahweh has commanded."
Exo
36:2 Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man,
in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart
stirred him up to come to the work to do it:
Exo
36:3 and they received from Moses all the offering which the
children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the
sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill
offerings every morning.
Exo
36:4 All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary,
each came from his work which they did.
Exo
36:5 They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more
than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to
make."
Exo
36:6 Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed
throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make
anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people
were restrained from bringing.
Exo
36:7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make
it, and too much.
Exo
36:8 All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the
tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and
scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made
them.
Exo
36:9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the
breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one
measure.
Exo
36:10 He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five
curtains he coupled one to another.
Exo
36:11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the
edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain
that was outmost in the second coupling.
Exo
36:12 He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty
loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The
loops were opposite one to another.
Exo
36:13 He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to
another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
Exo
36:14 He made curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the
tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
Exo
36:15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits
the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.
Exo
36:16 He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves.
Exo
36:17 He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was
outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the
curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.
Exo
36:18 He made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together,
that it might be a unit.
Exo
36:19 He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a
covering of sea cow hides above.
Exo
36:20 He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing
up.
Exo
36:21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half
the breadth of each board.
Exo
36:22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all
the boards of the tabernacle this way.
Exo
36:23 He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the
south side southward.
Exo
36:24 He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two
sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under
another board for its two tenons.
Exo
36:25 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he
made twenty boards,
Exo
36:26 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one
board, and two sockets under another board.
Exo
36:27 For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six
boards.
Exo
36:28 He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the
far part.
Exo
36:29 They were double beneath, and in like manner they were all the
way to its top to one ring. He did thus to both of them in the two
corners.
Exo
36:30 There were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen
sockets; under every board two sockets.
Exo
36:31 He made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one
side of the tabernacle,
Exo
36:32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the
hinder part westward.
Exo
36:33 He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the
boards from the one end to the other.
Exo
36:34 He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold
for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
Exo
36:35 He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined
linen: with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.

gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for
them.
Exo
36:37 He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple,
scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
Exo
36:38 and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their
capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of
brass.

half its height.

half cubits, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
Exo
37:7 He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at
the two ends of the mercy seat;
Exo
37:8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He
made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.
Exo
37:9 The cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy
seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces
of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
Exo
37:10 He made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits,
and its breadth was a cubit, and its height was a cubit and a half.

it.
Exo
37:12 He made a border of a handbreadth around it, and made a golden
molding on its border around it.
Exo
37:13 He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the
four corners that were on its four feet.
Exo
37:14 The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles
to carry the table.
Exo
37:15 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold,
to carry the table.
Exo
37:16 He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its
spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure
gold.
Exo
37:17 He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of
beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers
were of one piece with it.
Exo
37:18 There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches
of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the
lampstand out of its other side:
Exo
37:19 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and
a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other
branch, a bud and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the
lampstand.
Exo
37:20 In the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its
buds and its flowers;
Exo
37:21 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud
under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches
of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.

square. Its length was five cubits, its breadth was five cubits, and
its height was three cubits.
Exo
38:2 He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one
piece with it, and he overlaid it with brass.
Exo
38:3 He made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, the shovels,
the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its vessels of
brass.
Exo

the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up.
Exo
38:5 He cast four rings for the four ends of brass grating, to be
places for the poles.
Exo
38:6 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass.

38:8 He made the basin of brass, and its base of brass, out of the
mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the
Tent of Meeting.
Exo
38:9 He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of
the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits;
Exo
38:10 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass;
the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
Exo
38:11 For the north side one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty,
and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and

Exo
38:16 All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen.
Exo
38:17 The sockets for the pillars were of brass. The hooks of the
pillars and their fillets were of silver; and the overlaying of their
capitals, of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted
with silver.
Exo
38:18 The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the
embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Twenty
cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits,
like to the hangings of the court.
Exo
38:19 Their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass;
their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and
their fillets, of silver.
Exo
38:20 All the pins of the tabernacle, and around the court, were of
brass.
Exo
38:21 This is the amount of material used for the tabernacle, even
the Tabernacle of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to
the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand
of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
Exo
38:22 Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
made all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
38:23 With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue,
in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.
Exo
38:24 All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the
sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents,
and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Exo
38:25 The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was
one hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
Exo
38:26 a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the
sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were numbered,
from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five
hundred fifty men.
Exo
38:27 The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets
of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets
for the one hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
Exo
38:28 Of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made
hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for
them.
Exo
38:29 The brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two
thousand four hundred shekels.
Exo
38:30 With this he made the sockets to the door of the Tent of
Meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, all the vessels
of the altar,
Exo
38:31 the sockets around the court, the sockets of the gate of the
court, all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins around the
court.
Exo
39:1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked
garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy
garments for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
39:2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine
twined linen.
Exo
39:3 They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to
work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and in the fine
linen, the work of the skillful workman.
Exo
39:4 They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. At the two
ends it was joined together.
Exo
39:5 The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten
it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of blue,
purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
39:6 They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold,
engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of
the children of Israel.
Exo
39:7 He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones
of memorial for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
39:8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like
the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine
twined linen.
Exo
39:9 It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was
a span, and its breadth a span, being double.
Exo
39:10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and
beryl was the first row;
Exo
39:11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
Exo
39:12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Exo
39:13 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They
were enclosed in gold settings.
Exo
39:14 The stones were according to the names of the children of
Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a
signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
Exo
39:15 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided
work of pure gold.
Exo
39:16 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put
the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
Exo
39:17 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at
the ends of the breastplate.
Exo
39:18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the
two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in
its front.
Exo
39:19 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of
the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod
inward.
Exo
39:20 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder
straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling,
above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
Exo
39:21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the
ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven
band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from
the ephod, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
39:22 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
Exo
39:23 The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a
coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not
be torn.
Exo
39:24 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue,
purple, scarlet, and twined linen.
Exo
39:25 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the
pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates;
Exo
39:26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the
skirts of the robe, to minister in, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
39:27 They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and
for his sons,
Exo
39:28 and the turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine
linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,
Exo
39:29 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
39:30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote
on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: "HOLY TO
YAHWEH."
Exo
39:31 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban
above, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
39:32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was
finished. The children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses; so they did.
Exo
39:33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, with all its
furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its
sockets,
Exo
39:34 the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow
hides, the veil of the screen,
Exo
39:35 the ark of the testimony with its poles, the mercy seat,
Exo
39:36 the table, all its vessels, the show bread,
Exo
39:37 the pure lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in
order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,
Exo
39:38 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the
screen for the door of the Tent,
Exo
39:39 the bronze altar, its grating of brass, its poles, all of its
vessels, the basin and its base,
Exo
39:40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the
screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, all the
instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of
Meeting,
Exo
39:41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place,
the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons,
to minister in the priest's office.
Exo
39:42 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children
of Israel did all the work.
Exo
39:43 Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Yahweh
had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
Exo
40:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo
40:2 "On the first day of the first month you shall raise up
the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
Exo
40:3 You shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall
screen the ark with the veil.
Exo
40:4 You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that
are on it. You shall bring in the lampstand, and light its lamps.
Exo
40:5 You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of
the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
Exo
40:6 You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of
the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
Exo
40:7 You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the
altar, and shall put water therein.
Exo
40:8 You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of
the gate of the court.
Exo
40:9 You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle,
and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture:
and it will be holy.
Exo
40:10 You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its
vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar will be most holy.
Exo
40:11 You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
Exo
40:12 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of
Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
Exo
40:13 You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint
him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's
office.
Exo
40:14 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.
Exo
40:15 You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they
may minister to me in the priest's office. Their anointing shall be
to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."
Exo
40:16 Moses did so. According to all that Yahweh commanded him, so
he did.
Exo
40:17 It happened in the first month in the second year, on the
first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.
Exo
40:18 Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set
up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
Exo
40:19 He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the
tabernacle above on it, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
40:20 He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles
on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
Exo
40:21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of
the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh
commanded Moses.
Exo
40:22 He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the
tabernacle northward, outside of the veil.
Exo
40:23 He set the bread in order on it before Yahweh, as Yahweh
commanded Moses.
Exo
40:24 He put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the
table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Exo
40:25 He lit the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
40:26 He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the
veil;
Exo
40:27 and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as Yahweh
commanded Moses.
Exo
40:28 He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
Exo
40:29 He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the
tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt
offering and the meal offering, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
40:30 He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar,
and put water therein, with which to wash.
Exo
40:31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet
there.
Exo
40:32 When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came
near to the altar, they washed, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Exo
40:33 He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar,
and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the
work.
Exo
40:34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of
Yahweh filled the tabernacle.
Exo
40:35 Moses wasn't able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because
the cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh's glory filled the tabernacle.
Exo
40:36 When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the
children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
Exo
40:37 but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they didn't travel
until the day that it was taken up.
Exo
40:38 For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and
there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house
of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
Mark 13
Mar 13:1
As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him,
"Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!"
Mar 13:2
Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will
not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown
down."
Mar 13:3
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James,
John, and Andrew asked him privately,
Mar 13:4
"Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these
things are all about to be fulfilled?"
Mar 13:5
Jesus, answering, began to tell them, "Be careful that no one
leads you astray.
Mar 13:6
For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and will lead many
astray.
Mar 13:7
"When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don't be troubled.
For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
Mar 13:8
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines
and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
Mar 13:9
But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You
will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings
for my sake, for a testimony to them.
Mar 13:10
The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
Mar 13:11
When they lead you away and deliver you up, don't be anxious
beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will
be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy
Spirit.
Mar 13:12
"Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his
child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be
put to death.
Mar 13:13
You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures
to the end, the same will be saved.
Mar 13:14
But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel
the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand),
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
Mar 13:15
and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take
anything out of his house.
Mar 13:16
Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
Mar 13:17
But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in
those days!
Mar 13:18
Pray that your flight won't be in the winter.
Mar 13:19
For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not
been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created
until now, and never will be.
Mar 13:20
Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been
saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he
shortened the days.
Mar 13:21
Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look,
