10 “And all the wise-hearted among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded:
11 “the Tabernacle and its pavilion, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its poles, its pillars, and its sockets,
12 “the Ark and its poles, the Mercy Seat and the veil that covers it,
13 “the Table and its poles and all its instruments, the Showbread,
14 “the Lampstand for light, its instruments and its lamps with the oil for the light,
15 “the Altar of Incense and its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the veil of the door at the entrance of the Tabernacle,
16 “the Altar of Burnt Offering with its copper grate, its poles, all its instruments, the basin and its pedestal,
17 “the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the veil of the gate of the court,
18 “the pegs of the Tabernacle, the pegs of the court (with their cords),
19 “the ministering garments to minister in the Holy Place, the holy garments of Aaron the Priest and the garments of his sons, so that they may minister in the Priest’s office.”
20 Then, all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And everyone whose heart encouraged him, and everyone whose spirit made him willing, came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and for all its uses and for the holy garments.
22 Both men and women, as many as were of a willing heart, came and brought clasps and earrings and rings and bracelets (all jewels of gold). So was everyone who offered an offering of gold to the LORD.
23 Also, every man who had blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins (dyed red) and badgers’ skins, brought them.
24 All who offered an oblation of silver, and of copper, brought the offering to the LORD. And everyone who had shittim wood for any kind of ministry work, brought it.
25 And all the skilled women spun with their hands and brought the spun work: the blue silk, the purple, the scarlet, and fine linen.
26 Likewise, all the women whose hearts were moved with skill, spun goats’ hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate,
28 and spice and oil (for light and for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense).
29 Every man and woman of the children of Israel whose hearts had moved them to willingly contribute to all the work which the LORD had commanded them to make (by the hand of Moses), brought a free offering to the LORD.
30 Then Moses said to the children of Israel, “Behold, the LORD has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31 “And He has filled him with an excellent spirit of wisdom—of understanding, and of knowledge, in all manner of workmanship—
32 “to create ingenious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
33 “in cutting and setting stones, in woodcarving, and the making of any type of fine work.
34 “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach others—both he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 “He has filled them with skill to create all types of engraving and embroidery and needle work, in blue silk, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen and weaving, to do all kinds of work and design.”
36 Then Bezalel and Aholiab and all skillful men to whom the LORD gave wisdom and understanding to know how to perform all manner work for the service of the Sanctuary, worked according to all that the LORD had commanded.
2 For Moses had called Bezalel and Aholiab and all the skilled men in whose hearts the LORD had put wisdom, as many as whose hearts had encouraged them to come to the work, to perform it.
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, to make it. Also, they continued to bring free gifts to him every morning.
4 So each of the skillful men who had made all the holy work came from the work which he was doing,
5 and spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring too much, more than enough for the work which the LORD has commanded to be made.”
6 Then Moses gave a commandment; and they had it proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the oblations of the Sanctuary.” So, the people were restrained from offering.
7 For the material they had was sufficient to make all the work, even too much.
8 Then, all the skillful men among the workmen made the Tabernacle ten curtains of fine-twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet. And upon them they made Cherubims of skillful work.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits; and the breadth of one curtain was four cubits. The curtains were all the same size.
10 And he bundled five curtains together; and he bundled another five together.
11 And he made loops of blue silk near the edge of the outermost curtain of the first bundle. He did likewise on the outermost curtain in the second bundle.
12 He made fifty loops in one curtain; and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was in the second bundle. The loops were set opposite each other.
13 Afterward, he made fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, so that it was one Tabernacle.
14 Also, he made curtains of goats’ hair for the covering upon the Tabernacle. He made them from eleven curtains.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits; and the breadth of one curtain was four cubits. The eleven curtains were all the same size.
16 And he bundled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 He also made fifty loops upon the edge of the outermost curtain in the first bundle; and he made fifty loops upon the edge of the outermost curtain in the second bundle.
18 He also made fifty clasps of copper to join the covering together so that it might be one.
19 And he made a covering of rams’ skins (dyed red) upon the pavilion, and a covering of badgers’ skins above it.
20 Likewise, he made the boards of shittim wood for the Tabernacle, standing upright.
21 The length of a board was ten cubits; and the breadth of a board was a cubit and a half.
22 One board had two tenons, set in order (as the feet of a ladder, one opposite another). He made all the boards of the Tabernacle in this way.
23 So, he made boards for the Tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side.
24 And 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.
25 Also, for the other side of the Tabernacle, toward the North, he made twenty boards
26 and their forty sockets of silver (two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board).
27 Likewise, toward the west side of the Tabernacle, he made six boards.
28 And he made two boards for the corners of the Tabernacle, one for each side.
29 And they were joined beneath, and likewise were secured above, with a ring. He did this to both, in both corners.
30 So there were eight boards and their sixteen sockets of silver, two sockets under every board.
31 Afterward, he made poles of shittim wood, five for the boards on the one side of the Tabernacle,
32 five poles for the boards on the other side of the Tabernacle, and five poles for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the west.
33 And he made the middle pole to shoot through the boards, from one end to the other.
34 Also, he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold (for places for the poles) and covered the poles with gold.
35 Moreover, he made a veil of blue silk and purple, and of scarlet, and of fine-twined linen. He made it with Cherubims of skillful work:
36 And made four pillars of shittim for it and overlaid them with gold. Its hooks were also of gold. And he cast four sockets of silver for them.
37 And he made a hanging for the Tabernacle door — of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, the work of a weaver —
38 and the five pillars of it with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their bands with gold. But their five sockets were of copper.
32 And as they came out, they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon. They compelled him to bear His cross.
33 And when they came to the place called Golgotha (that is to say, ‘Place of a Skull’)
34 They gave Him vinegar to drink, mixed with bitter herbs. And when He had tasted of it, He would not drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments, and cast lots, so that which was spoken by the Prophet might be fulfilled, “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.”
36 And they sat and watched Him there.
37 They also wrote His charge over His head, ‘THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
38 And there were two thieves crucified with Him - one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And those who passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads,
40 and saying, “You who destroy the Temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking Him with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said,
42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in 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 who were crucified with Him also reviled Him.
45 Now there was darkness over all the land, from the sixth hour to the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani!?”, which means, “My God, my God. Why have You forsaken Me?”
47 And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This Man calls Elijah!”
48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink.
49 Others said, “Let Him be! Let us see if Elijah will come and save Him!”
50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice; and gave up the ghost.
51 And behold, the veil of the Temple was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. And the Earth quaked. And the stones were split.
52 And the graves opened themselves. 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 to many.
54 When the centurion (and those who were watching Jesus with him) saw the earthquake, and the things which were done, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”
55 And many women were there (observing from far away) who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him.
56 Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
57 And when evening had come, a rich man of Arimathea named Joseph came. He had also himself been Jesus’ disciple.
58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 and put it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting before the sepulcher.
62 Now the next day (which followed the Preparation) the chief priests and Pharisees came to Pilate,
63 and said, “Sir, we remember that that Deceiver said while he was still alive, ‘Within three days I will rise.’
64 “Command, therefore, that the sepulcher be made secure until the third day, or else his disciples may come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He is risen from the dead!’ So the last deception shall be worse than the first.”
65 Then Pilate said to them, “You have a watch. Go and make it as secure as you can.”
66 And they went, and made the sepulcher secure with the watch, and sealed the stone.
34 I will always give thanks to the LORD. His praise shall be in my mouth continually.
2 My soul shall glory in the LORD. The humble shall hear it and be glad.
3 Praise the LORD with me; and let us magnify His Name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me. Indeed, He delivered me out of all my fear.
5 They shall look to Him and run; and their faces shall not be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried; and the LORD heard and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The Angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them.
8 Taste and see how gracious the LORD is. Blessed is the man who trusts in Him.
9 Fear the LORD, you, His saints. For those who fear Him lack nothing.
10 The lions lack and suffer hunger. But those who seek the LORD shall lack nothing that is good.
7 “He that reproves a scoffer, gets himself shame. And he who rebukes the wicked, gets himself a blot.
8 “Do not rebuke a scoffer, lest he hate you. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
