14 “You shall keep a Feast to Me three times during the year.
15 “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread: You shall eat unleavened bread for seven days, as I commanded you, in the season of the month of Abib. For in it, you came out of Egypt. And no one shall appear before Me empty.
16 Also, The Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors (which you have sown in the field) and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors from the field.
17 “Three times in the year shall all your male children appear before the Lord GOD.
18 “You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread. Nor shall the fat of My sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 “The first of the firstfruits of your land, you shall bring into the House of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
20 “Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you on your way, and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.
21 “Pay attention to him and hear his voice. Do not provoke him. For he will not spare your misdeeds, because my Name is in him.
22 “But if you listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and will afflict those who afflict you.
23 “For My angel shall go before you, and bring you to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will destroy them.
24 “You shall neither bow down to their gods nor serve them nor do according the works of them. But utterly overthrow them and break their images in pieces.
25 “For you shall serve the LORD your God; and He shall bless your bread and your water. And I will take all sickness away from the midst of you.
26 “No one shall miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 “I will send My fear before you and will destroy all the people among whom you shall go. And I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 “And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.
29 “I will not cast them out from before you in one year, lest the land grow into a wilderness, and the wild animals multiply against you.
30 “I will gradually drive them out from before you, until you increase and inherit the land.
31 “And I will make your boundaries from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and you shall drive them out from before you.
32 “You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
33 “Nor shall they dwell in the land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it shall surely be to your destruction.”
24 Now, he had said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. And you shall worship at a distance.
2 “And Moses, by himself, shall come near to the LORD. But they shall not come near, nor shall the people go up with him.”
3 Afterward, Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the Laws. And all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the things which the LORD has said, we will do.”
4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early, and set up an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings of oxen, and sacrificed peace offerings to the LORD.
6 Then, Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins; and he sprinkled half of the blood on the altar.
7 Afterward, he took the Book of the Covenant, and read it in the audience of the people, who said, “All that the LORD has said, we will do, and be obedient.”
8 Then, Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold, the blood of the Covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these things.”
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
10 And they saw the God of Israel. And under His feet was, as it were, a pavement of sapphire stone, as clear as the sky itself.
11 But He did not lay His hand upon the nobles of the children of Israel. They, also, saw God, and ate and drank.
12 And the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me onto the mountain, and be there. And I will give you Tablets of stone, and the Law, and the Commandment which I have written, to teach them.”
13 Then Moses and his minister, Joshua, rose up. And Moses went up onto the Mountain of God,
14 and said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever has any matters, let him come to them.
15 Then, Moses went up to the mount; and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 And the Glory of the LORD remained upon Mount Sinai; and the cloud covered it for six days. And the seventh day, He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17 And the sight of the Glory of the LORD on the top of the mountain was like a consuming fire in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up to the mountain. And Moses was on the mount for forty days and forty nights.
25 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, so that they receive an offering for Me. You shall take the offering for Me from every man whose heart gives it freely.
3 “And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold and silver, and copper,
4 “and blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goat’s hair,
5 “and ram’s skins (colored red), and the skins of badgers, and shittim wood,
6 “oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for the perfume of sweet savor,
7 “onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8 “Also they shall make Me a Sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them.
9 “Exactly according to all that I show you, shall you make the form of the Tabernacle, and the fashion of all its instruments.
10 “They shall also make an Ark of shittim wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.
11 “And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside shall you overlay it, and shall make a gold border all around it.
12 “And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them in its four corners. That is, two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
13 “And you shall make poles of shittim wood and cover them with gold.
14 “Then you shall put the poles in the rings, on the sides of the Ark, and carry the Ark with them.
15 “The poles shall be in the rings of the Ark. They shall not be taken away from it.
16 “So, you shall put the Testimony (which I shall give you) in the Ark.
17 “Also, you shall make a Mercy Seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half broad.
18 “And you shall make two Cherubims of gold; of work beaten out with a hammer you shall make them, at the two ends of the Mercy Seat.
19 “And you shall make one Cherub at one end, and the other Cherub at the other end. From one piece you shall make the Cherubims with the Mercy Seat, on its two ends.
20 “And the Cherubims shall stretch their wings on high, covering the Mercy Seat with their wings and their faces toward one another. Toward the Mercy Seat shall the faces of the Cherubims be.
21 “And you shall put the Mercy Seat on top of the Ark. And in the Ark you shall put the Testimony which I will give you.
22 “And there I will declare Myself to you. And from above the Mercy Seat, between the two Cherubims which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, I will tell you all things which I will give you in Commandment to the children of Israel.
23 “You shall also make a Table of shittim wood, two cubits long, one cubit broad, and a cubit and a half high.
24 “And you shall cover it with pure gold and make a border of gold all around it.
25 “You shall also make a rim for it all around, the width of a handbreadth. And you shall make a golden border all around the rim of it.
26 “After, you shall make four rings of gold for it, and shall put the rings on the four corners which are on its four feet.
27 “The rings shall be close to the border, as places for poles, to carry the Table.
28 “And you shall make the poles of shittim wood, and shall overlay them with gold, so that the Table may be carried with them.
29 “You shall also make dishes for it, and cups for it, and coverings for it, and goblets, with which it shall be covered. Of fine gold you shall make them.
30 “And you shall set Showbread upon the Table before Me continually.
31 “Also, you shall make a Lampstand of pure gold. Of work beaten out with a hammer shall the Lampstand be made. Its shaft and its branches, its bowls, its knobs and its flowers shall be of the same.
32 “Also, six branches shall come 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.
33 “Three bowls are to be like almonds, one knob and one flower in one branch. And three bowls are to be like almonds in the other branch, one knob and one flower. So it is throughout the six branches that come out of the Lampstand.
34 “And in the shaft of the Lampstand shall be four bowls like almonds, with its knobs and its flowers.
35 “And there shall be a knob under its first pair of branches, and a knob under its second pair of branches, and a knob under its third pair of branches, according to the six branches coming out of the Lampstand.
36 “Their knobs and their branches shall be one piece. All this shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 “And you shall make the seven Lamps for it. And you shall put on the Lamps for it, so as to give light toward that which is before it.
38 “Also, its snuffers and snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.
39 “You shall make it from a talent of fine gold, with all these instruments.
40 “See, therefore, that you make them after the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”
29 “And immediately after the tribulations of those days, the Sun shall be darkened. And the Moon shall not give her light. And the stars shall fall from Heaven. And the powers of Heaven shall be shaken.
30 “And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in Heaven. And then all the tribes of the Earth shall mourn. And they shall see the Son of Man come in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet. And they shall gather together His Elect from the four winds - from the one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn the parable of the fig tree. When her bough is still tender, and it puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 “So likewise, when you see all these things, know that the Kingdom of God is near, even at the doors.
34 “Truly I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all these things are done.
35 “Heaven and Earth shall pass away. But My words shall not pass away.
36 “But of that day and hour knows no one; no, not the angels of Heaven, but only My Father.
37 “But as in the days of Noah, so likewise shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
38 “For as in the days before the flood, they ate and drank, married, and gave in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark.
39 “And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. So also shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 “Then two shall be in the fields. The one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.
41 “Two women shall be grinding at the mill. The one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.
42 “Watch, therefore. For you do not know what hour your Master will come.
43 “Of this be sure: that if the good man of the house knew at what time the thief would come, he would surely watch, and not allow his house to be dug through.
44 “Therefore, you be ready also. For the Son of Man will come at an hour which you do not expect.
45 “Who then is a faithful servant (and wise), whom his master has made ruler over his household, to give them food in season?
46 “Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, shall find so doing.
47 “Truly I say to you that he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 “But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, ‘My master delays his coming’,
49 “and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken,
50 “that servant’s master will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour of which he is not aware,
51 “and will cut him in two and give him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
30 I will magnify You, O LORD. You have exalted me and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD, my God, I cried to You; and You have restored me.
3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul out of the grave. You have revived me from those who go down into the pit.
4 Sing praises to the LORD, His Saints, and give thanks before the remembrance of His Holiness.
5 For His anger endures but a while. In His favor is life. Weeping may abide at evening, but joy comes in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity, I said, “I shall never be moved.”
7 For You, LORD, from Your goodness, had made my mountain to stand strong. You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8 Then I cried to You, O LORD, and prayed to my LORD.
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit! Shall the dust give thanks to You? Or shall it declare Your Truth?
10 Hear, O LORD; and have mercy upon me. LORD, be my Helper.
11 You have turned my mourning into joy. You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.
12 Therefore, my tongue shall praise You, and not cease. O LORD, my God, I will give thanks to You forever. To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
24 Hear me now, therefore, O children, and listen to the words of my mouth.
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways. Do not wander in her paths.
26 For she has caused many to fall down wounded; the strong men all slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to the grave which goes down to the chambers of death.
