⁹ Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.

¹ And David the king said to all the people, Solomon my son, the only one who has been marked out by God, is still young and untested, and the work is great, for this great house is not for man, but for the Lord God. ² Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more. ³ And because this house of God is dear to me, I give my private store of gold and silver to the house of my God, in addition to all I have got ready for the holy house; ⁴ Even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir and seven thousand talents of the best silver, for plating the walls of the house: ⁵ Gold for the gold things, and silver for the silver things, and for every sort of work to be done by the expert workmen. Who then will come forward, offering himself this day for the Lord's work? ⁶ Then the heads of families and the chiefs of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the controllers of the king's business, freely gave themselves; ⁷ And they gave for the use of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron. ⁸ And those who had stones of great price gave them to the store of the house of the Lord, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite. ⁹ Then the people were glad because their offerings were freely given, for with a true heart they freely gave what they had to the Lord; and David the king was full of joy. ¹⁰ So David gave praise to the Lord before all the people; and David said, Praise be to you, O Lord the God of Israel, our father for ever and ever. ¹¹ Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honour: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all. ¹² Wealth and honour come from you, and you are ruler over all, and in your hand is power and strength; it is in your power to make great, and to give strength to all. ¹³ So now, our God, we give you praise, honouring the glory of your name. ¹⁴ But who am I and what is my people, that we have power to give so freely in this way? for all things come from you, and what we have given you is yours. ¹⁵ For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on. ¹⁶ O Lord our God, all this store, which we have made ready for the building of a house for your holy name, comes from your hand and is yours. ¹⁷ And I am conscious, my God, that you are the searcher of hearts, taking pleasure in righteousness. As for me, with an upright heart I have freely given all these things; and I have seen with joy your people who are here to make their offerings freely to you. ¹⁸ O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the deepest thoughts of your people, and let their hearts be fixed and true to you; ¹⁹ And give to Solomon my son a true heart, to keep your orders, your rules, and your laws, and to do all these things, and to put up this great house for which I have made ready. ²⁰ And David said to all the people, Now give praise to the Lord your God. And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with bent heads worshipping the Lord and the king. ²¹ And they made offerings to the Lord, and gave burned offerings to the Lord, on the day after, a thousand oxen, a thousand sheep, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and a great wealth of offerings for all Israel. ²² And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest. ²³ So Solomon was put on the seat of the Lord as king in place of his father David, and everything went well for him; and all Israel was under his authority. ²⁴ And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king. ²⁵ And the Lord made Solomon great in the eyes of all Israel, clothing him with glory and honour such as no other king in Israel had had before him. ²⁶ Now David, the son of Jesse, was king over all Israel. ²⁷ For forty years he was ruling as king over Israel, seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. ²⁸ And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place. ²⁹ Now all the acts of David, first and last, are recorded in the words of Samuel the seer, and the words of Nathan the prophet, and the words of Gad the seer; ³⁰ Together with all his rule and his power, and the events which took place in his time, in Israel and in all the kingdoms of other lands.

⁶ And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.

⁶⁸ And some of the heads of families, when they came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, gave freely of their wealth for the building up of the house of God in its place:

⁵ And after that, the regular burned offering and the offerings for the new moons and all the fixed feasts of the Lord which had been made holy, and the offering of everyone who freely gave his offering to the Lord.

¹⁶ As well as all the silver and gold which you get from the land of Babylon, together with the offering of the people and of the priests, freely given for the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem:

² And the people gave a blessing to all the men who were freely offering to take up their places in Jerusalem.

³ Your people give themselves gladly in the day of your power; like the dew of the morning on the holy mountains is the army of your young men.

¹¹ Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able. ¹² For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.

⁷ Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

⁹ Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

² Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone is changed into brass by the fire.

⁴² Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck;

¹⁰ And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.

⁸ And to her it was given to be clothed in delicate linen, clean and shining: for the clean linen is the righteousness of the saints.

¹⁴ And then you are to make a cover for the tent, of sheepskins coloured red, and a cover of leather over that. ¹⁵ And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.

²⁶ And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

³⁷ And make five pillars for the curtain, of hard wood plated with gold; their hooks are to be of gold and their bases of brass

²⁰ And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.

³⁷ Then you are to make its seven vessels for the lights, putting them in their place so that they give light in front of it.

²⁰ Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

²³ Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus, ²⁴ And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin: ²⁵ And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil. ²⁶ This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law, ²⁷ And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices, ²⁸ And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base. ²⁹ And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy. ³⁰ And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me. ³¹ And say to the children of Israel, This is to be the Lord's holy oil, from generation to generation. ³² It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy. ³³ Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people. ³⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights; ³⁵ And make from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean and holy. ³⁶ And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy. ³⁷ You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord. ³⁸ Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.

²⁴ The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side: ²⁵ Lighting the lights before the Lord, as the Lord had given him orders.

⁴ This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.

⁶ And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer. ⁷ It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together. ⁸ And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work. ⁹ You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut: ¹⁰ Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth. ¹¹ With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold. ¹² And the two stones are to be placed on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel: Aaron will have their names on his arms when he goes in before the Lord, to keep the Lord in mind of them. ¹³ And you are to make twisted frames of gold; ¹⁴ And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames. ¹⁵ And make a priest's bag for giving decisions, designed like the ephod, made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen. ¹⁶ It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide. ¹⁷ And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald; ¹⁸ The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx; ¹⁹ The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; ²⁰ The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold. ²¹ The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp. ²² And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag. ²³ And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag. ²⁴ Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag; ²⁵ Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms. ²⁶ Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod. ²⁷ And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band: ²⁸ So that the rings on the bag may be fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord and on to the band of the ephod, so that the bag may not come loose from the ephod. ²⁹ And so Aaron will have the names of the children of Israel on the priest's bag over his heart whenever he goes into the holy place, to keep the memory of them before the Lord. ³⁰ And in the bag you are to put the Urim and Thummim, so that they may be on Aaron's heart whenever he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron may have the power of making decisions for the children of Israel before the Lord at all times.

² The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.

⁴⁵ Among the children of Israel I will make my living-place, and I will be their God.

¹ So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders. ² Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work: ³ And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning. ⁴ Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work; ⁵ And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.

⁶ And the priest is to put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of it before the Lord seven times, in front of the veil of the holy place.

⁴ And Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from before the holy place, outside the tent-circle.

¹² He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.

³ Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.

¹³ And I will be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.

⁶ Let your voice be sounding in a cry of joy, O daughter of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.

¹⁰ Give songs of joy, O daughter of Zion: for I come, and I will make my resting-place among you, says the Lord.

³ This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.

¹⁶ And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

⁶ But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

¹ Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order. ² For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

³ And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.

⁴⁰ And see that you make them from the design which you saw on the mountain.

¹¹ Then David gave to his son Solomon the design of the doorway of the house of God and of its houses and its store-houses, and the higher rooms and the inner rooms and the place for the mercy-seat; ¹² And the design of all he had in his heart for the outer squares of the house of the Lord, and for the rooms all round it, and for the store-houses of the house of the Lord, and for the store-houses for the holy things; ¹³ And for the divisions of the priests and Levites, and for all the work in connection with the worship of the house of the Lord, and all the vessels used in the house of the Lord; ¹⁴ Of gold, by weight, for the vessels of gold, for all the vessels of different uses; and silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for vessels of different uses; ¹⁵ And gold by weight for the light-supports and the vessels for the lights, the weight of gold needed for every support and every vessel for lights; and for the silver light-supports, the weight of silver needed for every support and for the different vessels as every one was to be used; ¹⁶ And gold by weight for the tables for the holy bread for every table, and silver for the silver tables; ¹⁷ Clear gold for the meat-hooks and the basins and the cups; for the gold basins, gold enough by weight for every basin; and silver by weight for every silver basin; ¹⁸ And the best gold for the altar of perfumes; and gold for the design of the carriage, for the winged ones whose wings were outstretched covering the ark of the Lord's agreement. ¹⁹ All this, said David, the design for all these things, has been made dear to me in writing by the hand of the Lord.

⁴⁴ Our fathers had the Tent of witness in the waste land, as God gave orders to Moses to make it after the design which he had seen.

⁵ Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

⁹ And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,

¹ And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high; ² Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it. ³ And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,

¹ At that time the Lord said to me, Make two other stones, cut like the first two, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood. ² And I will put on the stones the words which were on the first stones which were broken by you, and you are to put them into the ark. ³ So I made an ark of hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands.

¹¹ Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.

⁴ Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

¹⁹ And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.

²⁴ Plated with the best gold, with a gold edge all round it;

³ It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.

²⁰ And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.

⁴ And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best gold.

¹⁵ The rods are to be kept in the rings, and never taken out.

²⁶ And make four gold rings and put them at the four angles, on the four feet of the table;

²⁹ And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

⁷ And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

⁵ These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

⁷ He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

²⁸ Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table.

⁶ And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

⁵ And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

⁴ And rods of the same wood plated with gold.

²⁰ And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it;

⁶ And putting over it the leather cover and over that a blue cloth; and putting its rods in place.

⁸ And over them they are to put a red cloth, covering it with a leather cover, and putting its rods in their places.

¹¹ On the gold altar they are to put a blue cloth, covering it with a leather cover; and they are to put its rods in their places.

¹⁴ Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.

¹⁵ And the sons of the Levites took up the ark of God, lifting it by its rods, as the Lord had said to Moses.

⁸ The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place, in front of the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside: and there they are to this day.

⁹ The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.

³⁴ So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

²¹ Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.

⁶ And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.

³⁶ And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.

¹⁸ And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.

¹⁵ Then Moses came down the mountain with the two stones of the law in his hand; the stones had writing on their two sides, on the front and on the back.

²⁹ Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two stones in his hand, he was not conscious that his face was shining because of his talk with God.

²¹ This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

⁴ And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.

² And I will put on the stones the words which were on the first stones which were broken by you, and you are to put them into the ark. ³ So I made an ark of hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands. ⁴ And he put on the stones, as in the first writing, the ten rules which the Lord gave you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the great meeting: and the Lord gave the stones to me. ⁵ And turning round I came down from the mountain and put the stones in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the Lord gave me orders.

²⁶ Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.

⁹ There was nothing in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

¹² Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

¹⁴ Now when they were taking out the money which had come into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the priest came across the book of the law of the Lord, which he had given by the mouth of Moses. ¹⁵ Then Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.

² Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them.

³⁴ You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.

⁶ And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

¹² And he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the veil; ¹³ And let him put the perfume on the fire before the Lord so that the ark may be covered with a cloud of the smoke of the perfume, in order that death may not overtake him. ¹⁴ And let him take some of the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it from his finger on the cover of the ark on the east side, and before it, seven times. ¹⁵ Then let him put to death the goat of the sin-offering for the people, and take its blood inside the veil and do with it as he did with the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it on and before the cover of the ark.

¹¹ Then David gave to his son Solomon the design of the doorway of the house of God and of its houses and its store-houses, and the higher rooms and the inner rooms and the place for the mercy-seat;

²⁵ Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

¹⁶ Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

⁵ And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

² He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.

²⁴ So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life.

⁷ And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover; ⁸ Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover. ⁹ And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

⁴ So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.

²³ In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high; ²⁴ With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits. ²⁵ The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form. ²⁶ The two of them were ten cubits high. ²⁷ These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle. ²⁸ These winged ones were plated over with gold.

⁶ And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones. ⁷ For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

¹⁸ And the best gold for the altar of perfumes; and gold for the design of the carriage, for the winged ones whose wings were outstretched covering the ark of the Lord's agreement.

² And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.

²⁰ This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.

¹⁸ And it had pictured forms of winged beings and palm-trees; a palm-tree between two winged ones, and every winged one had two faces; ¹⁹ So that there was the face of a man turned to the palm-tree on one side, and the face of a young lion on the other side: so it was made all round the house.

¹² And he had a dream, and in his dream he saw steps stretching from earth to heaven, and the angels of God were going up and down on them.

¹⁸ And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold,

⁷ For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

¹⁰ And in the most holy place he made images of two winged beings, covering them with gold.

¹ In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated in his place, high and lifted up, and the Temple was full of the wide skirts of his robe. ² Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight. ³ And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory. ⁴ And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke. ⁵ Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.

²⁰ Wherever the spirit was to go they went; and the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

¹⁴ I gave you your place with the winged one; I put you on the mountain of God; you went up and down among the stones of fire.

³¹ And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

⁵¹ And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.

⁹ For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

¹⁰ For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹⁰ So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,

¹⁰ And you are complete in him, who is the head of all rule and authority:

¹⁴ Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?

¹² And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

²² Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.

¹¹ And I saw, and there came to my ears the sound of a great number of angels round about the high seat and the beasts and the rulers; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; ¹² Saying with a great voice, It is right to give to the Lamb who was put to death, power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.

¹⁶ Inside the ark you are to put the record which I will give you. ¹⁷ And you are to make a cover of the best gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

³³ And the Lord went on his way when his talk with Abraham was ended, and Abraham went back to his place.

²⁴ Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.

⁴² This is to be a regular burned offering made from generation to generation, at the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will come face to face with you and have talk with you. ⁴³ There I will come face to face with the children of Israel, and the Tent will be made holy by my glory

⁶ And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made;

¹ And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,

² The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on the cover of the ark.

⁸⁹ And when Moses went into the Tent of meeting to have talk with him, then the Voice came to his ears from over the cover which was on the ark of witness, from between the two winged ones. And he had talk with him.

²⁶ For what man is there in all the earth, who, hearing the voice of the living God as we have, out of the heart of the fire, has been kept from death? ²⁷ Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it. ²⁸ Then the Lord, hearing your words to me, said to me, The words which this people have said to you have come to my ears: what they have said is well said. ²⁹ If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever! ³⁰ Now say to them, Go back to your tents. ³¹ But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

²⁷ And the children of Israel made request to the Lord, {\I for the ark of the agreement of the Lord was there in those days,

² And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.

¹⁵ And Hezekiah made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

¹ To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim-eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

¹ A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations.

¹ The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

¹⁶ O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

¹⁰ And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high; ¹¹ Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it. ¹² And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round. ¹³ And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet. ¹⁴ The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted. ¹⁵ The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold. ¹⁶ And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.

²² And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil. ²³ And he put the bread on it in order before the Lord, as the Lord had said.

⁶ And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.

³¹ In their care are the ark, and the table, and the lights, and the altars, and all the vessels used in the holy place, and the veil, and all they are used for.

⁴⁸ And Solomon had all the vessels made for use in the house of the Lord: the altar of gold and the gold table on which the holy bread was placed;

¹⁶ And gold by weight for the tables for the holy bread for every table, and silver for the silver tables;

⁸ He made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.

¹⁹ And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

⁴¹ There were four tables on one side and four tables on the other, by the side of the doorway; eight tables, on which they put to death the beasts for the offerings. ⁴² And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.

² For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

¹¹ It is to be plated inside and out with the best gold, with an edge of gold all round it

²⁰ And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold. ²¹ Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold. ²² Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold.

² Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.

¹⁴ And put the rods through the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

²⁷ The rings are to be fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table is to be lifted.

¹⁷ Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.

¹⁵ But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

¹⁶ And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.

⁵ And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake. ⁶ And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord. ⁷ And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord. ⁸ Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever. ⁹ And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

⁷ And on the table of the holy bread they are to put a blue cloth, and on it all the vessels, the spoons and the basins and the cups; and the holy bread with them;

¹³ And his offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

¹⁹ He gave one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

³¹ His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering; ³² One gold spoon of ten shekels, full of spice; ³³ One young ox, one male sheep, one he-lamb of the first year, for a burned offering;

⁵⁰ And the cups and the scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, all of gold; and the pins on which the doors were turned, the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, all of gold.

²² The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.

⁹ And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives, ¹⁰ Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels. ¹¹ There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

¹ I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.

¹⁸ And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away. ¹⁹ And the cups and the fire-trays and the basins and the pots and the supports for the lights and the spoons and the wide basins; the gold of the gold vessels, and the silver of the silver vessels, the captain of the armed men took away.

²⁰ See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.

¹³ The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;

³⁶ The table, with all its vessels and the holy bread;

⁶ So the priest gave him the holy bread: there was no other, only the holy bread which had been taken from before the Lord, so that new bread might be put in its place on the day when it was taken away.

³² And some of their brothers, sons of the Kohathites, were responsible for the holy bread which was put in order before the Lord, to get it ready every Sabbath.

²⁹ The holy bread was in their care, and the crushed grain for the meal offering, of unleavened cakes or meal cooked over the fire or in water; they had control of all sorts of weights and measures;

¹¹ By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders given to us by the Lord our God, but you have gone away from him.

⁷ You put unclean bread on my altar. And you say, How have we made it unclean? By your saying, The table of the Lord is of no value.

¹² But you make it unholy by saying, The Lord's table has become unclean, and his food is of no value.

⁴ How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread which it was not right for him or for those who were with him to take, but only for the priests?

¹⁴ And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;

¹⁷ Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal: ¹⁸ It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other; ¹⁹ Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches; ²⁰ And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower; ²¹ And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it. ²² The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold. ²³ And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold. ²⁴ A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.

¹⁸ All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.

²⁴ And under the edge of it, circling it all round for ten cubits, were two lines of flower buds, made together with it from liquid metal.

⁴⁹ And the supports for the lights, five on the right side and five on the left before the inmost room, of clear gold; and the flowers and the lights and all the instruments of gold;

² And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

¹² And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them;

²⁰ The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.

⁵ So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed.

⁵ And out of the high seat came flames and voices and thunders. And seven lights of fire were burning before the high seat, which are the seven Spirits of God;

¹⁹ Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches; ²⁰ And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;

⁴ And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you. ⁵ And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you. ⁶ So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them. ⁷ And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness. ⁸ Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.

¹¹ Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch of an almond-tree. ¹² Then the Lord said to me, You have seen well: for I keep watch over my word to give effect to it.

³ And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.

⁴ The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.

¹⁶ And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it. ¹⁷ And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

¹⁵ And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

⁸ And every evening, when he puts the lights up in their places, the spices are to be burned, a sweet-smelling smoke going up before the Lord from generation to generation for ever.

²³ And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.

²⁴ The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

² Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times, ³ Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations. ⁴ Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.

² Say to Aaron, When you put the lights in their places, the seven lights will give light in front of the support.

¹⁰⁵ NUN Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.

²³ For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.

²⁰ Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) .If they do not say such things (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) .For him there is no dawn (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) .

¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.

⁷⁹ To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace.

⁹ The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.

¹² Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

⁵ Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?

¹⁸ To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;

²³ And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it. ²⁵ And the doors of it will never be shut by day for there is no night there:

⁵ And there will be no more night; and they have no need of a light or of the shining of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will be ruling for ever and ever.

⁹ And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:

¹³ But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;

¹⁴ And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

²¹ The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

⁶ Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.

¹⁸ And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

⁹ Make the House and everything in it from the designs which I will give you.

³⁰ And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

⁴² The children of Israel did everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses. ⁴³ Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.

¹⁹ All this, said David, the design for all these things, has been made dear to me in writing by the hand of the Lord.

¹¹ And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them. ¹² This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.
