10 And everyone that is wise hearted among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded:
11 The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
12 the ark and its staves, the seat of reconciliation, and the veil of the tent,
13 the table and its staves and all its vessels, and the showbread;
14 the lampstand also for the light and its vessels and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
15 and the altar of incense and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle,
16 the altar of burnt offering with its brasen grate, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
17 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18 the stakes of the tabernacle and the stakes of the court, and their cords,
19 the clothing of service to minister in the sanctuary, that is, the holy garments of Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to serve in the priesthood.
20 ¶ And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came, every man whose heart stirred him up, and every one whose spirit made them willing, and they brought the LORD’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of the testimony and for all his service and for the holy garments.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought chains and earrings, rings and bracelets, and all jewels of gold; and anyone that offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
23 Every man who had blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen or goats’ hair or red skins of rams or badgers’ skins brought them.
24 Anyone that offered an offering of silver or brass brought the offering unto the LORD; and every man, with whom was found cedar wood, brought it for all the work of the service.
25 And all the women that were wise hearted spun with their hands and brought that which they had spun: blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart lifted them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.
27 And the princes brought onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the pectoral;
28 and aromatic spice and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense.
29 Of the sons of Israel, men and women, all that had a willing heart to bring for all the work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses, brought a voluntary offering unto the LORD.
30 ¶ And Moses said unto the sons of Israel, See, the LORD has named Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in intelligence, in science, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 to invent and devise, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,
33 and in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
34 And he has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 And he has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of work of the engraver and of the cunning workman and of the embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver: that they may do any work, and invent every design.
36 ¶ Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man unto whom the LORD gave wisdom and intelligence to know how to do all the work of the service of the sanctuary, all the things that the LORD had commanded.
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom and every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it;
3 and they took from the presence of Moses all the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it with. And they brought yet unto him free will offerings every morning.
4 So much that all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came every man from his work which they made,
5 and they spoke with Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the work of the ministry which the LORD commanded to make.
6 And Moses commanded it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing,
7 for they had abundant material for all the work; more than enough to make it with.
8 ¶ And everyone with a wise heart among those that wrought the work made the tabernacle of ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, which they made of cunning work, with cherubim.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; the curtains were all of one size.
10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another; and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain in the border in the coupling; likewise he made in the border of the second curtain in the coupling.
12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the second curtain in the border in the coupling, the loops in front of the others.
13 And he made fifty hooks of gold and coupled the curtains one unto another with the hooks, so it became one tabernacle.
14 ¶ Likewise he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain; the eleven curtains were of one size.
16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops upon the edge of the uttermost curtain in the coupling, and he made another fifty loops upon the edge of the other curtain in the coupling.
18 And he also made fifty hooks of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and another covering of badgers’ skins above that.
20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of cedar wood, standing up.
21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the breadth one cubit and a half.
22 Each board had two tenons, equally distant one from another; thus did he make all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 He made, therefore, the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side towards the Negev.
24 He also made the 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.
25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side of the Aquilon, {the north wind} he made twenty boards,
26 with their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 And for the westward side of the tabernacle he made six boards.
28 And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides,
29 which were coupled beneath and likewise coupled together above to a ring; thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30 There were, therefore, eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 And he also made bars of cedar wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
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 westward side.
33 And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 And he covered the boards with gold and made their rings of gold for the bars to pass through and covered the bars with gold also.
35 ¶ Likewise he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, which he made with cherubim of cunning work.
36 And for it he made four pillars of cedar and covered them with gold; their capitals were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 Likewise he made the veil for the tabernacle door of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, of needlework,
38 and its five pillars with their capitals; and he covered their heads and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets he made of brass.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross. {Gr. stauros -stake}
33 ¶ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, the place of a skull,
34 they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink.
35 And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there
37 and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads
40 and saying, Thou that wouldst destroy the temple and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. {Gr. stauros -stake}
41 Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, {Gr. stauros -stake} and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him, for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of those that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elijah.
48 And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.
50 ¶ But Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, gave up the spirit.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose
53 and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion and those that were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was God’s Son.
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;
56 among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 ¶ When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also had been a disciple of Jesus;
58 he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the princes of the priests and the Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 saying, Lord, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead; so the last error shall be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch; go your way; make it as secure as ye can.
66 So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone and setting a watch.
