37 After this, Bezalel made the Ark of shittim wood, two cubits and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.
2 And he overlaid it with fine gold, inside and outside, and made a border of gold for it, all around.
3 And he cast four rings of gold for it (for the four corners of it), two rings for one side of it and two rings for the other side of it.
4 Also, he made poles of shittim wood and covered them with gold.
5 And he put the poles in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
6 And he made the Mercy Seat of pure gold. The length of it was two and a half cubits, and the breadth of it one cubit and a half.
7 And he made two Cherubims of gold upon the two ends of the Mercy Seat. He made them of work beaten with the hammer,
8 one Cherub on one end and another Cherub on the other end. He made the Cherubims as part of the Mercy Seat, at its two ends.
9 And the Cherubims spread out their wings on high and covered the Mercy Seat with their wings. And their faces were towards each another. The faces of the Cherubims were toward the Mercy Seat.
10 Also, he made the Table of shittim wood. The length of it was two cubits and its breadth a cubit. And the height of it was a cubit and a half.
11 And he overlaid it with fine gold and made a border of gold for it, all around.
12 Also, he made a rim for it, the size of a hand-breadth, all around, and made a border of gold upon the rim, all around.
13 And he cast four rings of gold for it and put the rings in the four corners, on its four feet.
14 Against the border were the rings, as places for the poles to bear the Table.
15 And he made the poles of shittim wood and covered them with gold, to bear the Table.
16 Also, he made the instruments for the Table (of pure gold): dishes for it, and cups for it, and bowls for it, and jars for it (with which to pour drink offerings).
17 Likewise, he made the Lampstand of pure gold. He made the Lampstand of work beaten out with the hammer. Its shaft, its branch, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece.
18 And six branches came out of the sides of it, three branches of the Lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the Lampstand out of the other side of it.
19 On one branch there were three bowls (made like almonds), a knob, and a flower. And on another branch were three bowls (made like almonds), a knob and a flower. So it was on all the six branches that proceeded out of the Lampstand.
20 And upon the Lampstand were four bowls (after the fashion of almonds), its knobs and its flowers.
21 That is, under the first two branches there was a knob, and a knob under the second two branches, and a knob under the third two branches, according to the six branches coming out of it.
22 Their knobs and their branches were part of the same piece. It was all one beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he made seven lamps for it, with its snuffers and its trays of pure gold.
24 He made it from a talent of pure gold, with all its instruments.
25 Furthermore, he made the Incense Altar of shittim wood. The length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit (it was square), and two cubits high. Its horns were part of the same piece.
26 And he covered it with pure gold, both its top and its sides, all around, and its horns. And he made a border of gold for it, all around.
27 And under its border he made two rings of gold for it (in the two corners of its two sides), to put poles in with which to bear it.
28 Also, he made the poles of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the sweet pure incense, according to the perfumer’s art.
38 Also, he made the Altar of the Burnt Offering of shittim wood. Its length was five cubits, its breadth five cubits (it was square); and it was three cubits high.
2 And he made horns for it, on its four corners. Its horns were part of the same piece; and he overlaid it with copper.
3 Also, he made all the instruments of the altar: the pans, the shovels, the basins, the fleshhooks, and the firepans. He made all its instruments of copper.
4 Moreover, he made a copper grate for the Altar, under its rim, midway from its bottom.
5 And cast four rings of copper for the four corners of the grate, to put poles in.
6 And he made the poles of shittim wood and covered them with copper,
7 which he put into the rings, on the sides of the Altar, to bear it. And he made it hollow, with boards.
8 Also, he made the pots of copper (and their bases of copper) from the mirrors of the women who assembled and came together at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
9 Finally, he made the court on the south side. The hangings of the court were of fine-twined linen, a hundred cubits long.
10 There were twenty pillars, with their twenty copper sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.
11 And on the north side, the hangings were a hundred cubits. There were twenty pillars, with their twenty copper sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.
12 Also on the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars with their ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.
13 And toward the east side were hangings of fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of one side were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
15 And on the other side of the court gate, on both sides, were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
16 All the hangings of the court were of fine-twined linen, all around.
17 But the sockets of the pillars were of copper. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver; and the covering of their capitals were of silver. And all the pillars of the court were wrapped with silver.
18 He also made the hanging for the court gate of needlework—blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, twenty cubits long and five cubits in height and breadth—like the hangings of the court.
19 And there were four pillars (with their four sockets) of copper. Their hooks were of silver; and the covering of the capitals, and their bands, were of silver.
20 But all the pegs of the Tabernacle, and of the court, were of copper, all around.
21 These are the parts of the Tabernacle—of the Tabernacle of the Testimony —which was appointed by commandment of Moses for the office of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the Priest.
22 So Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
23 And with him, Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a skillful workman and an embroiderer, and a weaver in blue silk, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.
24 All the gold which was used in all the work made for the Holy Place (which was the gold of the offering) was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.
25 But the silver of those who were numbered in the Congregation was a hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary:
26 a bekah for a man—that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary—for all those who were numbered (from twenty years old and above) among 603,550 men.
27 Moreover, there were a hundred talents of silver (to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary and the sockets of the veil), a hundred sockets of a hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 But he made the hooks for the pillars for 1,775 shekels and overlaid their capitals and made bands around them.
29 Also the copper of the offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.
30 Of which he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the copper Altar, and its copper grate, with all the instruments of the Altar,
31 and the sockets of the court all around, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the pegs of the Tabernacle, and all the pegs of the court, all around.
28 Now at the end of the Sabbath, when the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher.
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake. For the Angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it.
3 And his face was like lightning. And his clothing white as snow.
4 And for fear of him, the keepers were astonished, and became as dead men.
5 But the angel answered, and said to the women, “Do not fear. For I know that you seek Jesus, Who was crucified.
6 “He is not here. For He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord was laid.
7 “And go, quickly, and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead. And behold, He goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him. Lo, I have told you.”
8 So they quickly departed from the sepulcher, with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, “Rejoice!” And they came, and took Him by the feet, and worshipped Him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go, and tell My brothers, so that they would go into Galilee. And there they shall see Me.”
11 Now when they had gone, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and reported to the chief priests all the things that had been done.
12 And they gathered together with the elders, and took counsel, and gave considerable money to the soldiers,
13 saying, “Say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we slept.’
14 “And if this matter comes before the governor to be heard, we will persuade him, so that you need not worry.”
15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story is told among the Jews to this day.
16 Then the eleven disciples went into Galilee, and to a mountain where Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him. But some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All power is given to Me, in Heaven and on Earth.
19 “Go, therefore, and disciple all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost,
20 “teaching them to observe all things, whatever I have Commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, until the end of the age. Amen.”
11 Come children, hear me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he who desires life and loves long days to see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips, so that they speak no deceit.
14 Turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and follow after it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous; and His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off their remembrance from the Earth.
17 The righteous cry and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to those who are of a contrite heart; and will save such as are afflicted in spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous. But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all His bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 Malice shall slay the wicked; and those who hate the righteous shall perish.
22 The LORD redeems the souls of His servants; and no one who trusts in Him shall perish. A Psalm of David.
9 “Give to the wise, and he will be the wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10 “The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD. And the knowledge of holy things is understanding.
