Thou shall make it of acacia wood. ² A cubit shall be the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it (it shall be foursquare), and two cubits shall be the height of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it. ³ And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it round about, and the horns of it. And thou shall make to it a crown of gold round about. ⁴ And two golden rings thou shall make for it under the crown of it, upon the two ribs of it, upon the two sides of it thou shall make them. And they shall be for places for staves with which to bear it. ⁵ And thou shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. ⁶ And thou shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. ⁷ And Aaron shall burn in it incense of sweet spices. Every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it. ⁸ And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before LORD throughout your generations. ⁹ Ye shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering. And ye shall pour no drink offering on it. ¹⁰ And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year, with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. Once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to LORD. ¹¹ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹² When thou take the sum of the sons of Israel, according to those who are numbered of them, then they shall give every man a ransom for his soul to LORD when thou number them, that there be no plague among them when thou number them. ¹³ This they shall give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, (the shekel is twenty gerahs,) half a shekel for an offering to LORD. ¹⁴ Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of LORD. ¹⁵ The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of LORD, to make atonement for your souls. ¹⁶ And thou shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before LORD, to make atonement for your souls. ¹⁷ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁸ Thou shall also make a laver of brass, and the base of it of brass for washing. And thou shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shall put water in it. ¹⁹ And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.

²⁵ And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, foursquare, and two cubits was the height of it. The horns of it were of one piece with it. ²⁶ And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it round about, and the horns of it. And he made to it a crown of gold round about. ²⁷ And he made for it two golden rings under the crown of it, upon the two ribs of it, upon the two sides of it, for places for staves with which to bear it. ²⁸ And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.

³⁸ and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the tent,

⁵ And thou shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

²⁶ And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil, ²⁷ and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as LORD commanded Moses.

⁹ According to all that I show thee: the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture of it, even so shall ye make it.

¹⁰ and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,

⁸ And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

⁷ And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls and the cups with which to pour out. And the continual bread shall be on it.

¹⁴ And they took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered. ¹⁵ And the captain of the guard took away the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.

²⁹ Some of them were also appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

¹¹ And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:

¹⁶ Also the pots, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels of it, Huram his father made of bright brass for king Solomon for the house of LORD.

¹⁹ And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, also the golden altar, and the tables on which was the showbread,

²² and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold. And as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, namely, of the temple, were of gold.

¹ And thou shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad (the altar shall be foursquare), and the height of it shall be three cubits. ² And thou shall make the horns of it upon the four corners of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it, and thou shall overlay it with brass. ³ And thou shall make its pots to take away its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its flesh-hooks, and its firepans; all the vessels of it thou shall make of brass. ⁴ And thou shall make for it a grating of network of brass, and upon the network thou shall make four brazen rings in the four corners of it. ⁵ And thou shall put it under the ledge round the altar beneath, that the network may reach halfway up the altar. ⁶ And thou shall make staves for the altar, staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with brass. ⁷ And the staves of it shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, in bearing it. ⁸ Thou shall make it hollow with planks. As it has been shown thee on the mount, so shall they make it.

¹² And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn the fat of the peace offerings on it. ¹³ Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out.

⁶ And shall put on it a covering of certain skin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in the staves of it. ⁷ And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls and the cups with which to pour out. And the continual bread shall be on it. ⁸ And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of certain skin, and shall put in the staves of it. ⁹ And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the lampstand of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all the oil vessels of it, with which they minister to it.

¹¹ And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of certain skin, and shall put in the staves of it. ¹² And they shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of certain skin, and shall put them on the frame.

¹ And he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length of it, and five cubits the breadth of it, foursquare, and three cubits the height of it. ² And he made the horns of it upon the four corners of it. The horns of it were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with brass. ³ And he made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans. All the vessels of it he made of brass. ⁴ And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. ⁵ And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves. ⁶ And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass. ⁷ And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.

¹² And thou shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye not go up onto the mount, or touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mount shall be surely put to death;

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle sets forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

³⁸ And those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel. And the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

⁹ But he gave none to the sons of Kohath, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them. They bore it upon their shoulders.

²¹ And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary, and the others set up the tabernacle until their coming.

⁹ And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.

¹⁰ For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that LORD commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua. And the people hastened and passed over.

¹⁹ And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of LORD. He smote of the people fifty thousand and seventy men. And the people mourned, because LORD had smitten the people with a great slaughter.

⁶ And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth to the ark of God, and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. ⁷ And the anger of LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.

¹³ And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark of LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

⁹ And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. ¹⁰ And the anger of LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him because he put forth his hand to the ark. And there he died before God.

² Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites, for LORD has them chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever.

¹⁵ And the sons of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of LORD.

¹⁸ For ye have not come to a mountain being felt, and which burned with fire, and to darkness, and gloom, and a tempest, ¹⁹ and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of words, of which those who heard begged that a word not be added to them. ²⁰ For they did not bear that which was commanded, if even a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned. ²¹ And so fearful was that which was made visible, that Moses said, I am terrified and trembling. ²² But ye have come to mount Zion, and to the city of a living God, a heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of agents, ²³ to a festal gathering and assembly of firstborn sons who were enrolled in the heavens, and to God, a Judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men who were made fully perfect, ²⁴ and to Jesus a mediator of a new covenant, and to blood of sprinkling that speaks better than Abel. ²⁵ Watch, that ye not refuse him who speaks. For if those men did not escape, having refused him who spoke a divine message on earth, much more we, those who turn away from him from the heavens, ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth. But now he has promised, saying, Yet once, I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven. ²⁷ And the, Yet once, signifies the removal of the things being shaken-as of things that were made-so that the things not being shaken may remain. ²⁸ Therefore, receiving an immovable kingdom, we may have grace, through which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and awe. ²⁹ For our God is also a consuming fire.

⁶ oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

²⁰ And thou shall command the sons of Israel, that they bring to thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually ²¹ in the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony. Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before LORD. It shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the sons of Israel.

³⁹ The one lamb thou shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shall offer at evening. ⁴⁰ And with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering. ⁴¹ And the other lamb thou shall offer at evening, and shall do thereto according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering of it, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD.

²³ Take thou also to thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty, ²⁴ and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin. ²⁵ And thou shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil. ²⁶ And thou shall anoint with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, ²⁷ and the table and all the vessels of it, and the lampstand and the vessels of it, and the altar of incense, ²⁸ and the altar of burnt offering with all the vessels of it, and the laver and the base of it. ²⁹ And thou shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy. ³⁰ And thou shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. ³¹ And thou shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations. ³² Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition of it. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. ³³ Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people. ³⁴ And LORD said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense, of each shall there be a like weight. ³⁵ And thou shall make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy. ³⁶ And thou shall beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee. It shall be to you most holy. ³⁷ And the incense which thou shall make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the composition of it. It shall be to thee holy for LORD. ³⁸ Whoever shall make like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.

¹¹ and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded thee they shall do.

²⁹ And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.

²⁰ This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to LORD in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening.

² Command the sons of Israel, that they bring to thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

³² And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be ruler of the rulers of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the charge of the sanctuary.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to sent forth in deliverance those who have been broken,

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by his own blood.

¹ Thus let a man regard us as of helpers of Christ, and managers of mysteries of God.

⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Jesus Christ,

¹ Because of which, holy brothers, companions of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our affirmation, Jesus Christ,

⁶ but Christ as a Son over his house, whose house we are, if only we keep in possession our confidence and pride of hope, firm until the end.

²⁵ For ye were like sheep going astray, but now were returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

² Tend ye the flock of God among you, watching over, not by obligation, but willingly, nor greedily, but readily,

²¹ And LORD said to Moses, Go down, command the people, lest they break through to LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each of them took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before LORD, which he had not commanded them. ² And there came forth fire from before LORD, and devoured them, and they died before LORD.

³² and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that pertained to Korah, and all their goods.

¹⁰ And LORD said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the sons of rebellion, that thou may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.

⁵ And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, that there be no more wrath upon the sons of Israel.

²³ And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy sons to the Chaldeans. And thou shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And thou shall cause this city to be burned with fire.

² And there came forth fire from before LORD, and devoured them, and they died before LORD.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entrance into the holy things by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which he inaugurated for us, a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in his temple. And there occurred lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and great hail.

¹⁸ And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

²¹ Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites. These are the families of the Gershonites.

²⁴ And the ruler of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

³ from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.

³ And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward. And their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

²⁴ These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of LORD, from twenty years old and upward.

²⁷ For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.

¹ Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this who is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save. ² Why are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him who treads in the wine vat? ³ I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no man with me. Yea, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath, and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. ⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, having been sold under sin. ¹⁵ For I do not understand what I do, for I do not do this that I want, but what I hate, this I do. ¹⁶ But if I do this that I do not want, I agree with the law that it is good. ¹⁷ But now I no longer perform it, but the sin dwelling in me. ¹⁸ For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, for to will is present in me, but to do the good, I find not. ¹⁹ For I do not do good that I want, instead, wrong that I do not want, this I do. ²⁰ But if I do this that I do not want, I no longer perform it, but sin dwelling in me. ²¹ Consequently I find the law in my wanting to do good, that evil is present in me. ²² For I delight in the law of God according to the inner man, ²³ but I see a different law in my body-parts, warring against the law of my mind, and taking me captive in the law of sin, which is in my body-parts. ²⁴ I am a wretched man. Who will rescue me out of the body of this death?

⁷ Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?

⁷ in word of truth, in power of God, through the weapons of righteousness of the right hand and of the left,

³ For though walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh. ⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the demolition of strongholds, ⁵ casting down imaginations, and every high thing exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought captive into the obedience of the Christ,

¹⁷ For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit is against the flesh. For these are hostile to each other, so that whatever these things are ye may want, ye may not do.

²⁴ And those of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and the lusts.

¹⁰ Finally my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God to enable you to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² Because our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principal offices, against the positions of authority, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual things of wickedness in the heavenly things. ¹³ Because of this take ye up the full armor of God, so that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand ye therefore having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet in preparation of the good news of peace. ¹⁶ Above all having taken up the shield of faith, by which ye will be able to quench all the fiery darts of evil. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying through every prayer and entreaty at every time in spirit, and being alert in this same thing in all perseverance and entreaty for all the sanctified, ¹⁹ and for me, so that utterance may be given to me in boldness in opening my mouth to make known the mystery of the good news,

³ Thou therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No man who serves in the military entangles himself in the affairs of life, so that he may please the man who enlisted the army.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

²⁷ At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service. And ye shall appoint to those in charge all their burden.

³¹ And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars of it, and the pillars of it, and the sockets of it, ³² and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pegs, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service. And ye shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden by name.

⁴⁷ from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting,

⁴⁹ According to the commandment of LORD they were numbered by Moses, each man according to his service, and according to his burden. Thus they were numbered by him, as LORD commanded Moses.

¹⁴ And thou shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of certain skins above.

²⁵ And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering of it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting, ²⁶ and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

⁵ Take it from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the tent of meeting. And thou shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service. ⁶ And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. ⁷ Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service.

⁹ And thou shall make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side.

¹⁸ the pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court, and their cords,

⁷⁰ just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,

² Now I praise you, brothers, that ye remember me in all things and keep the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

³³ This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

⁵ And there are varieties of services, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are varieties of functions, but it is the same God who works all in all.

³³ Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari. ³⁴ And those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred. ³⁵ And the ruler of the fathers' house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the side of the tabernacle northward.

¹ LORD says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ² LORD will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ³ Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning thou have the dew of thy youth. ⁴ LORD has sworn, and will not repent. Thou are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. ⁵ The Lord at thy right hand will strike through kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He will judge among the nations. He will fill with dead bodies. He will strike through the head in many countries. ⁷ He will drink of the brook in the way, therefore he will lift up the head.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness. ¹² Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life for which thou are called, and confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

⁴ No man who serves in the military entangles himself in the affairs of life, so that he may please the man who enlisted the army.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

¹⁵ And thou shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

³⁶ And the appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars of it, and the pillars of it, and the sockets of it, and all the instruments of it, and all the service thereof, ³⁷ and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pegs, and their cords.

⁸ And he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹ But he gave none to the sons of Kohath, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them. They bore it upon their shoulders.

¹⁷ And the sockets for the pillars were of brass, the hooks of the pillars, and their bands, of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, of silver. And all the pillars of the court were banded with silver.

²¹ This is the sum of the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

¹ And it came to pass on the day that Moses made an end of setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and sanctified it, and all the furniture of it, and the altar and all the vessels of it, and anointed them and sanctified them.

²⁸ This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting. And their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

⁶ And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

⁶ When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, Thou have clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand,

³⁹ from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting,

⁴³ from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting,

²⁶ And also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service of it. ²⁷ For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.

¹³ also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of LORD,

³⁴ And those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

²⁵ Thy bars shall be iron and brass, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

¹³ No temptation has taken you except is common to man. But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will also make the way to escape, to enable you to endure.

⁸ For to one, the word of wisdom is given through the Spirit, and to another, the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹ to a different man, faith by the same Spirit, and to another, gifts of healings by the same Spirit, ¹⁰ and to another, workings of miracles, and to another, prophecy, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to a different man, kinds of tongues, and to another, the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each man individually as it wills. ¹² For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made fully perfect in weakness. More gladly therefore I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of the Christ may reside in me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in restrictions, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

²⁹ As for the sons of Merari, thou shall number them by their families, by their fathers' houses.

²³ from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old thou shall number them, all who enter in to wait upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. ²⁴ This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:

³⁷ These are those who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of LORD by Moses.

⁶ And having different gifts according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith; ⁷ or service, in the service; or he who teaches, in the teaching; ⁸ or he who exhorts, in the exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who leads, in diligence; he who does mercy, in cheerfulness.

⁴ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are varieties of services, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are varieties of functions, but it is the same God who works all in all. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each man toward that which is beneficial. ⁸ For to one, the word of wisdom is given through the Spirit, and to another, the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹ to a different man, faith by the same Spirit, and to another, gifts of healings by the same Spirit, ¹⁰ and to another, workings of miracles, and to another, prophecy, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to a different man, kinds of tongues, and to another, the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each man individually as it wills. ¹² For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. ¹³ For also by one Spirit we are all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or freemen, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body also is not one part, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? ¹⁸ But now God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body just as he intended. ¹⁹ And if they were all one part, where would be the body? ²⁰ But now of course there are many body-parts, but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ²² Instead, much more the parts of the body that seem to be more feeble are necessary. ²³ And those things of the body presumed to be without esteem, we place around these more abundant worth. And our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety, ²⁴ whereas our presentable parts have no need. Instead, God united the body together, having given more abundant worth to the part that lacks, ²⁵ so that there would be no schisms in the body, but that the parts would have the same care for each other. ²⁶ And if one part suffers, all the parts suffer together, or one part is honored, all the parts rejoice together. ²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and body-parts individually. ²⁸ And in the church God has placed men who are first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles? ³⁰ Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? ³¹ But be zealous for the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

³⁹ All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

¹⁴ How narrow is the gate, and restricted the way, that leads to life, and few are those who find it.

¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few chosen.

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees having departed, they took counsel how they might trap him in his talk.

⁴⁷ But the Levites according to the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

⁵⁴ Thus did the sons of Israel. According to all that LORD commanded Moses, so they did.

³³ But the Levites were not numbered among the sons of Israel, as LORD commanded Moses.

⁵¹ And Moses gave the redemption-money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of LORD, as LORD commanded Moses.

²¹ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

³¹ And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars of it, and the pillars of it, and the sockets of it,

⁴¹ These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of LORD.

⁴⁵ These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of LORD by Moses.

² And the Spirit of LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of LORD. ³ And his delight shall be in the fear of LORD. And he shall not judge according to the sight of his eyes, nor decide according to the hearing of his ears, ⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. ² He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street. ³ A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench, but he will bring forth justice in truth. ⁴ He will not fail nor be discouraged till he has set justice in the earth. And in his name Gentiles will hope. ⁵ Thus says God, LORD, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth, he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those who walk in it, ⁶ I, LORD, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles, ⁷ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.

¹ Listen, O isles, to me, and hearken, ye peoples from far. LORD has called me from the womb. From the bowels of my mother he has made mention of my name. ² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver. ³ And he said to me, Thou are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified. ⁴ But I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity. Yet surely the justice due to me is with LORD, and my recompense with my God. ⁵ And now says LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of LORD, and my God has become my strength), ⁶ yea, he says, It is too light a thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation to the end of the earth. ⁷ Thus says LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see and arise, rulers, and they shall worship, because of LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee. ⁸ Thus says LORD, In an acceptable time I have heard thee, and in a day of salvation I have helped thee. And I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages,

⁴ For just as we have many body-parts in one body, and all the body-parts have not the same function, ⁵ so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and each one body-parts of each other.
