39 Moreover, from blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, they made garments of ministry, to minister in the Sanctuary. They also made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
2 So he made the ephod of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine- twined linen.
3 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue silk and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with skilled work.
4 They made shoulder pieces for it, to join it together, for it was closed by its two edges.
5 And the skillfully-woven band of his ephod, that was upon him, was of the same stuff, and of similar work: of gold, of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6 And they set two onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, and engraved (as signets are engraved) with the names of the sons of Israel.
7 And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod—stones for a memorial to the sons of Israel—as the LORD had commanded Moses.
8 Also, they made the breastplate of skillful work, like the work of the ephod: of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen.
9 They made the breastplate square by doubling it. It was a hand breadth long and a hand breadth broad when doubled.
10 And they filled it with four rows of stones. The order was: a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald on the first row.
11 And on the second row was an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 On the third row was a turquoise, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 On the fourth row was a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper, enclosed and mounted in settings of gold.
14 So were the stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel, according to their twelve names, engraved like signets, each one according to its name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 Afterward, they made chains upon the breastplate, at the ends. These were braided cords of pure gold.
16 They also made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two corners of the breastplate.
17 And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings, in the corners of the breastplate.
18 Also, they fastened the two other ends of the two braided cords in the two settings and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it.
19 Likewise, they made two rings of gold and put them in the other two corners of the breastplate (upon the inside edge of the ephod).
20 They also made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod, underneath, on the front of it and near its coupling, above the skillfully-woven band of the ephod.
21 And they fastened the breastplate (by its rings) to the rings of the ephod, with a lace of blue silk, so that it might be secure upon the skillfully-woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate should not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 Moreover, he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, entirely of blue silk.
23 And the hole of the robe was in the middle of it, as the collar of a coat of mail, with an edge around the collar, so that it would not tear.
24 And they made pomegranates upon the skirt of the robe, of blue silk and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen.
25 They also made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates, upon the skirts of the robe, all around, between the pomegranates.
26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
27 Afterward, they made coats of fine linen, of woven work, for Aaron and for his sons.
28 And the turban of fine linen, and ornamental hats of fine linen, and linen trousers of fine-twined linen.
29 And the band of fine-twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, made by a weaver, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
30 Finally, they made the plate for the holy crown of fine gold and wrote an inscription upon it like the engraving of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied a lace of blue silk to it, to fasten it on high, upon the turban, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
32 Thus, all the work of the Tabernacle — of the Tabernacle of the Congregation — was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses. So they did.
33 Afterward, they brought the Tabernacle to Moses, the Tabernacle and all its instruments: its taches, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
34 the covering of rams’ skins (dyed red), the coverings of badgers’ skins, the covering veil,
35 the Ark of the Testimony and its poles, the Mercy Seat,
36 the Table with all its instruments, the Showbread,
37 the pure Lampstand and its Lamps (the Lamps set in order, all its instruments, and the oil for light),
38 the golden Altar and the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the hanging of the Tabernacle door,
39 the copper Altar with its grate of copper, its bars and all its instruments, the Basin and its Pedestal.
40 The curtains of the court with its pillars, and its sockets, and the hanging to the court gate, its cords, its pegs, and all the instruments of the service of the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation).
41 the ministering garments to serve in the Sanctuary — the holy garments for Aaron the Priest and his sons’ garments — to minister in the Priest’s office.
42 According to every point that the LORD had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the work.
43 And Moses inspected all the work. And behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded. So they had done. And Moses blessed them.
40 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “On the first day of the first month, you shall set up the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation).
3 “And you shall put the Ark of the Testimony inside and cover the Ark with the veil.
4 “Also, you shall bring in the Table and set it in order as required. You shall also bring in the Lampstand and light its Lamps.
5 “And you shall set the Incense Altar of gold before the Ark of the Testimony and put up the hanging at the door of the Tabernacle.
6 “Moreover, you shall set the burnt offering Altar before the door of the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation).
7 “And you shall set the Basin between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar and put water in it.
8 “Then you shall set up the court all around and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9 “Afterward, you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and hallow it with all its instruments, so that it may be holy.
10 “And you shall anoint the Altar of the Burnt Offering, and all its instruments, and shall sanctify the Altar, so that it may be an Altar Most Holy.
11 “Also, you shall anoint the Basin, and its Pedestal, and shall sanctify it.
12 “Then, you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them with water.
13 “And you shall put the holy garments upon Aaron, and shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, so that he may minister to Me in the Priest’s office.
14 “You shall also bring his sons and clothe them with garments.
15 “And you shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, so that they may minister to me in the Priest’s office. For their anointing shall be a sign: that the Priesthood shall be everlasting to them, throughout their generations.”16 So Moses did according to all that the LORD had commanded him. So did he.
17 Thus was the Tabernacle raised up, on the first day of the first month, in the second year.
18 Then Moses raised up the Tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars.
19 And he spread the covering over the Tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
20 And he took and put the Testimony in the Ark, and put the poles in the rings of the Ark, and set the Mercy Seat on top of the Ark.
21 He also brought the Ark into the Tabernacle, and hung up the covering veil, and covered the Ark of the Testimony, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 Furthermore, he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation on the north side of the Tabernacle, without the veil.
23 And he set the bread in order before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 Also, he put the Lampstand in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, across from the Table, toward the south side of the Tabernacle.
25 And he lit the Lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
26 Moreover, he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the veil.
27 And he burnt sweet incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
28 Also, he hung up the veil at the door of the Tabernacle.
29 Afterward, he set the burnt offering Altar outside the door of the Tabernacle (the Tabernacle of the Congregation) and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
30 Likewise, he set the Basin between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and poured water in it, with which to wash.
31 So, Moses and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and their feet there.
32 When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approached to the Altar, they washed, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
33 Finally, he raised up the court all around the Tabernacle and the Altar and hung up the veil at the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34 Then, the cloud covered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
35 So, Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation because the cloud rested on it, and the Glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
36 Now, when the cloud ascended up from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their journeys.
37 But, if the cloud did not ascend, then they did not go out until the day that it ascended.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the House of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
1 The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in the Prophets, “Behold, I send My Messenger before your face, Who shall prepare your way before you.
3 “The voice of him who cries in the wilderness, is, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord! Make His paths straight!’”
4 John baptized in the wilderness, and preached the baptism of repentance, for remission of sins.
5 And all the country of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a belt of a skin about his loins. And he ate locusts and wild honey,
7 and preached, saying, “A stronger than I comes after me, Whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 “Indeed, I have baptized you with water. But He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost.”
9 And it happened that in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth (a city of Galilee) and was baptized by John in Jordan.
10 And as soon as He had come out of the water, John saw the heavens torn apart, and the Holy Ghost descending upon Him like a dove.
11 Then there was a voice from Heaven, saying, “You are My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.”
12 And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.
13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days and was tempted by Satan. He was also with the wild beasts. And the angels ministered to Him.
14 Now after John was committed to prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled! And the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and believe the Gospel!”
16 And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me. And I will make you fishers of men.”
18 And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 And when He had gone a little further, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the ship, mending their nets.
20 And He called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired servants and followed Him.
21 So they entered into Capernaum. And immediately on the Sabbath day, He entered into the Synagogue, and taught.
22 And they were astonished at His doctrine. For He taught them as One Who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was a man in their Synagogue in whom was an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 saying, “Ah, what have we to do with You, O Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are: even the Holy One of God.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold your peace, and come out of him.”
26 And the unclean spirit tore at him, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed. And they asked one another, saying, “What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For He commands even the foul spirits with authority, and they obey Him.”
28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region bordering on Galilee.
35 Plead my cause, O LORD, with those who strive with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Lay hand upon the shield and buckler; and stand up for my help.
3 Also, bring out the spear, and stop the way against those who persecute me. Say to my soul, “I am Your salvation.”
4 Let those who seek after my soul be confounded and put to shame. Let those who imagine my hurt be turned back and brought to confusion.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind; and let the Angel of the LORD scatter them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery; and let the Angel of the LORD persecute them.
7 For without cause, they have hidden the pit and their net for me. Without cause, they have dug a pit for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly; and let his net that he has laid secretly, take him. Let him fall into the same destruction.
9 Then my soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like You, Who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; indeed, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him!?”
11 Cruel witnesses arose. They asked things of me that I did not know.
12 They rewarded me evil for good, to spoil my soul.
13 Yet I, when they were sick, I was clothed with sackcloth. I humbled my soul with fasting. And my prayer was turned upon my bosom.
14 I behaved as to my friend, or as to my brother. I humbled myself, mourning as one who bewails his mother.
15 But they rejoiced in my adversity and gathered themselves together. The strikers assembled themselves against me, and I did not know. They tore me and did not cease,
16 with the false scoffers at banquets gnashing their teeth against me.
11 “For your days shall be multiplied by me. And the years of your life shall be augmented.
12 “If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself. If you are a scoffer, you alone shall suffer.”
