¹ Then said David the king unto all the convocation, Solomon my son, the one, of whom God hath made choice, is young and tender,––and, the work, is great, seeing that, not for man, is the palace, but for Yahweh Elohim. ² And, with all my might, have I made preparation for the house of my God, the gold for the gold, and the silver for the silver, and the bronze for the bronze, the iron for the iron, and the wood for the wood,––and beryl stones and settings, stones coloured and particoloured, and all manner of precious stones and stones of white marble, in abundance. ³ And yet further, because of my delighting in the house of my God, having a treasure of mine own in gold and silver, I have given for the house of my God, above and beyond all that I have prepared for the holy house: ⁴ three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir,––and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the recesses. ⁵ Of gold for the gold, and of silver for the silver, and for all manner of work in the hand of artificers,––Who then is ready to offer willingly, by filling his hand today, unto Yahweh? ⁶ Then offered they willingly––the ancestral rulers and the rulers of the tribes of Israel, and the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even to the rulers of the work of the king; ⁷ and gave for the service of the house of God, of gold, five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and, of silver, ten thousand talents, and, of bronze, eighteen thousand talents,––and, of iron, one hundred thousand talents. ⁸ And, every one with whom were found precious stones, gave to the treasure of the house of Yahweh,––unto the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. ⁹ So the people rejoiced because they willingly offered, for, with a perfect heart, offered they willingly unto Yahweh,––moreover also, David the king, rejoiced with great joy.
¹⁰ Therefore did David bless Yahweh in the eyes of all the convocation,––and David said, Blessed art thou, O Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, from age even unto age. ¹¹ Thine, O Yahweh, are Greatness, and Might, and Beauty, and Victory, and Majesty, nay! all in the heavens and in the earth,––thine, O Yahweh, is the kingdom, who art exalted above all,––as chief; ¹² and, riches and honour, are from before thee, and, thou, art ruling over all, and, in thy hand, are power and might,––and, in thy hand, it is, to give greatness and strength unto any. ¹³ Now, therefore, O our God, we are giving thanks unto thee,––and offering praise, unto thy beautiful Name. ¹⁴ And yet, who am, I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer willingly like this? for, from thee, is the whole, and, out of thine own hand, have we given unto thee; ¹⁵ for, sojourners, are we before thee, and strangers, like all our fathers,––like a shadow, are our days upon the earth, and there is no hope. ¹⁶ O Yahweh our God, all this abundance which we have prepared, to build thee a house for thy holy Name, out of thine own hand, it is, and, thine, is the whole. ¹⁷ But I know, O my God, that, thou, art proving the heart, and, with uprightness, wilt thou be pleased,––I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these things, now, therefore, thy people who are found here, have I seen with joy, offering willingly unto thee. ¹⁸ O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, oh guard this age–abidingly, as the devised purpose of the heart of thy people,––and establish thou their heart, unto thyself. ¹⁹ Also, unto Solomon my son, give thou an undivided heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes,––to do the whole, and to build the palace for which I have prepared. ²⁰ Then said David, unto all the convocation, Bless, I beseech you, Yahweh your God. So all the convocation blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and did bend their heads and bow themselves down unto Yahweh, and unto the king; ²¹ and sacrificed unto Yahweh sacrifices, and caused to go up ascending–offerings unto Yahweh, on the morrow of that day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand young sheep, and the drink–offerings thereof,––and sacrifices in abundance, for all Israel. ²² And so they did eat and drink before Yahweh on that day, with great joy,––and they, the second time, made Solomon son of David king, and anointed him unto Yahweh to be chief ruler, and Zadok to be priest.
²³ So Solomon took his seat upon the throne of Yahweh, as king, instead of David his father, and prospered,––and all Israel, hearkened unto him. ²⁴ And, all the rulers, and the heroes, yea moreover all the sons of King David, gave a hand, under Solomon the king. ²⁵ And Yahweh magnified Solomon, exceedingly, before the eyes of all Israel,––and gave unto him a royal majesty, that had not been on any king before him, over Israel. ²⁶ Thus, David son of Jesse, reigned over all Israel; ²⁷ and, the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years,––in Hebron reigned he seven years, and in Jerusalem, reigned he, thirty–three. ²⁸ And he died in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches and honour,––and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. ²⁹ Now, the acts of David the king, first and last, behold them! written in the records of Samuel the seer, and in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the records of Gad the seer: ³⁰ with all his reign, and his might,––and the times which passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the lands.

¹⁶ and all the silver and the gold, which thou shalt find, in all the province of Babylon,––with the freewill offering of the people and of the priests offered willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem,

² And the people bestowed a blessing on all the men, who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.

³ Thy people, will freely offer themselves, in the day of thine army,––in the splendours of holiness, out of the womb of the dawn, To thee, [shall spring forth] the dew of thy youth.

¹¹ Howbeit, now, the doing also, complete ye, in order that, even according to the forwardness of the desiring, so, may be the completing––out of what ye have. ¹² For, if the forwardness is set forth, according to what one may have, he is well approved, not according to what one hath not.

⁷ Each one, according as he hath purposed in his heart, not sorrowfully, nor of necessity,––for, a cheerful giver, God, loveth.

⁹ a land wherein, not in scarcity, shalt thou eat food, thou shalt lack nothing therein,––a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest hew copper.

² Iron, out of the ore, is taken, and, stone, poureth out copper;

³⁷ And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven,––and one shall light up its lamps, and it shall give light, over against the face thereof.

²⁰ Thou thyself, therefore, shalt command the sons of Israel, that they bring unto thee––pure, beaten olive–oil, for giving light,––that the lamp may lift up its flame, continually.

²⁴ And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table,––on the side of the habitation, southward; ²⁵ and mounted the lamps, before Yahweh,––As Yahweh commanded Moses.

⁴ These, therefore, are the garments which they shall make––a breastpiece, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a turban and a girdle,––so shall they make holy garments, for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, for ministering as priests unto me.

⁶ And they shall make the ephod,––of gold, blue and purple, crimson and fine–twined linen, the work of a skilful weaver. ⁷ Two joining shoulderpieces, shall there be to it, upon the two extremities thereof, that it may be joined together. ⁸ And, the curious band for fastening it, that is upon it, like the work thereof, of the same, shall it be,––of gold, blue and purple and crimson, and fine–twined linen. ⁹ And thou shalt take two onyx stones,––and engrave upon them, the names of the sons of Israel: ¹⁰ six of their names, on the one stone,––and, the names of the six that remain, on the second stone, according to their births: ¹¹ with the work of a stone engraver, like seal–ring engravings, shalt thou engrave the two stones, after the names of the sons of Israel,––to be encircled with settings of gold, shalt thou make them. ¹² And thou shalt put the two stones, upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial, for the sons of Israel,––so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh, upon his two shoulders, for a memorial. ¹³ And thou shalt make ouches of gold; ¹⁴ and two chains of pure gold, like cord, shalt thou make them, of wreathen work,––and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the ouches.
¹⁵ And thou shalt make a breastpiece for giving sentence, the work of a skilful weaver, like the work of the ephod, shalt thou make it, of gold, blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine–twined linen, shalt thou make it. ¹⁶ Four–square, shall it be, double,––a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof. ¹⁷ And thou shalt set therein, a setting of stones, four rows of stones,––one row––a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald, the first row; ¹⁸ and, the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond; ¹⁹ and, the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst; ²⁰ and, the fourth row, a Tarshish stone, a sardonyx, and a jasper,––enclosed with gold, shall they be when they are set. ²¹ And, the stones, shall be, after the names of the sons of Israel––twelve, after their names,––as the engravings of a seal–ring––every one, after his name, shall they be, for the twelve tribes. ²² And thou shalt make, upon the breastpiece, chains like cords, of wreathen work,––of pure gold. ²³ And thou shalt make, upon the breastpiece, two rings of gold,––and thou shalt place the two rings, upon the two ends of the breastpiece. ²⁴ And thou shalt hang the two wreathen chains of gold upon the two rings,––upon the ends of the breastpiece; ²⁵ and, the other two ends of the two wreathen chains, shalt thou fasten upon the two ouches, so shalt thou hang them upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forefront thereof. ²⁶ And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastpiece––upon the border thereof, which is on the side of the ephod, inwards. ²⁷ And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and place them upon the two shoulderpieces of the ephod, beneath, on the front of the face thereof, over against its joining,––above the curious band of the ephod: ²⁸ that they may bind the breastpiece, by the rings thereof, unto the rings of the ephod, with a cord of blue, so that it may remain upon the curious band of the ephod,––and the breastpiece not be removed from of the ephod. ²⁹ So shall Aaron bear the names of the sons of Israel, in the breastpiece for giving sentence, upon his heart, when he goeth into the holy place,––for a memorial before Yahweh, continually. ³⁰ Thus shalt thou place, in the breastpiece for giving sentence, the lights and the perfections, so shall they be upon the heart of Aaron, when he goeth in before Yahweh,––so shall Aaron bear the sentence of the sons of Israel, upon his heart, before Yahweh, continually.

² My might and melody, is Yah, And he became mine, by salvation,––This, is my GOD, and I will glorify him, The God of my father, and I will set him on high.

⁴⁵ Thus will I make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel,––and will be their God;

¹ Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise–hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service,––according to all that Yahweh hath commanded. ² So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise–hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom,––every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it. ³ And they took, from the presence of Moses, all the heave–offering which the sons of Israel had brought in, for the work of the holy, service, to do it,––howbeit, they, brought in unto him yet more free–will offerings, morning by morning. ⁴ Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy, work,––man by man, from his work which, they, were doing; ⁵ and spake unto Moses, saying, More than enough, are the people bringing in,––[more] than is needed for the service pertaining to the work; which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.

⁶ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood,––and sprinkle of the blood seven times, before Yahweh, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

⁴ Then called Moses unto Mishael, and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron,––and said unto them––Draw near, bear away your brethren from before the sanctuary, unto the outside of the camp.

¹² And, out of the sanctuary, shall he not go forth, so shall he not profane the sanctuary of his God,––for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him––I, am Yahweh.

³ whether male or female, ye shall send them forth, unto the outside of the camp, shall ye send them,––that they make not their camps unclean, in the midst whereof, I, have my habitation.

¹³ and will make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel,––and will not forsake my people Israel.

⁶ Make shrill thy voice and sing out, thou inhabitress of Zion,––That, great in the midst of thee, is, the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁰ Sing out and rejoice, O daughter of Zion,––For behold me! coming in, and I will make my habitation in thy midst, declareth Yahweh.

³ Thus, saith Yahweh, I have returned unto Zion, and will make my habitation in the midst of Jerusalem,––and Jerusalem, shall be called, The city of fidelity, and the mountain of Yahweh of hosts, The mountain of holiness.

¹⁶ And what agreement hath a shrine of God with idols? For, we, are [the] shrine of a God, that liveth:––even as God hath said––will dwell in them, and walk, and will be their God, and, they, shall be my people.

⁶ But, Christ, as, a Son, over his house,––whose house are, we,––if, the freedom of speech and boast of the hope, [throughout, firm,] we hold fast.

¹ [Even] the first, indeed, therefore, used to have righteous appointments of divine service, even the holy ritual well arranged. ² For a tent was prepared, the first, in which were both the lampstand and the table and the setting forth of the loaves,––the which is called the Holy place;

³ And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying––Lo! the tent of God, is with men, and he will tabernacle with them, and, they, shall be, his peoples, and, he, shall be, God with them;

⁴⁰ And see thou, and make them,––by the pattern of them, which, thou, wast caused to behold in the mount.

¹¹ Then gave David unto Solomon his son, the plan of the porch, and the recesses thereof, and the treasuries thereof, and the upper rooms thereof, and the inner chambers thereof, and the recess for the propitiatory; ¹² and the plan of all which had come by the spirit to be with him, for the courts of the house of Yahweh, and for all the rooms round about,––for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of hallowed things; ¹³ and for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh,––and for all the utensils of the service of the house of Yahweh: ¹⁴ of gold, by weight, for the gold, for all manner of utensils for each several service,––for all manner of utensils of silver, by weight, for all manner of utensils for each several service; ¹⁵ and a weight, for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by the weight of each several lampstand, and the lamps thereof,––and for the lampstands of silver by weight, for each lampstand and the lamps thereof, according to the service of each several lampstand. ¹⁶ And the gold [gave he] by weight for the tables for setting in array, for each several table,––and silver, for the tables of silver; ¹⁷ and the flesh–hooks and the bowls and the cups, pure gold,––and for the goblets of gold, by weight for each several goblet, and for the goblets of silver, by weight for each several goblet; ¹⁸ and, for the altar of incense, refined gold, by weight,––and, for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, gold, for them that were spreading out, and covering the ark of the covenant of Yahweh:–– ¹⁹ the whole in writing, From the hand of Yahweh upon me, to give understanding,––all the works of the pattern.

⁴⁴ The tent of witness, was with our fathers in the desert, according as he who was speaking unto Moses, gave instructions, to make it, according to the model which he had seen.

⁵ Who, indeed, are rendering divine service, with a glimpse and shadow, of the heavenly things; even as Moses hath received intimation, when about to complete the tent,––For see! saith he––Thou shalt make all things according to the model which hath been pointed out to thee in the mount.

⁹ The which is a similitude for the present season, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, perfect him that rendereth the divine service:––

¹ And Bezaleel made the ark, of acacia wood,––two cubits and a half, the length thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the breadth thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the height thereof; ² and he overlaid it with pure gold, within and without,––and made for it a rim of gold, round about; ³ and he cast for it four rings of gold, upon the four feet thereof,––even, two rings, on the one side thereof and, two rings, on the other side thereof;

¹ At that time, said Yahweh unto me––Cut thee out two tables of stone, like the first, and come up unto me, into the mountain,––and make thee an ark of wood; ² that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables, which thou brakest in pieces,––then shalt thou put them in the ark. ³ So I made an ark, of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone, like the first,––and went up the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.

¹¹ And, the daughter of Pharaoh, Solomon brought up, out of the city of David, unto the house which he had built for her,––for he said, A wife of mine must not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for holy are those places whereinto the ark of Yahweh hath come.

⁴ Having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on every side with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;

¹⁹ And the sanctuary of God which is in heaven, was opened, and the ark of his covenant in his sanctuary, appeared, and there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

²⁴ and thou shalt overlay it with pure gold,––and shalt make thereto a rim of gold, round about;

³ And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof,––and thou shalt make to it a border of gold, round about.

²⁰ And, the interior of the shrine, was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it, with pure gold,––and overlaid the altar with cedar.

⁴ And, the porch which was in front of the length, in front of the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and, the height thereof, was a hundred and twenty,––and he overlaid it, within, with pure gold.

¹⁵ In the rings of the ark, shall remain the staves,––they shall not be removed therefrom.

²⁶ and thou shalt make to it four rings of gold,––and shalt place the rings, on the four corners which pertain to the four feet thereof:

²⁹ And, the boards, shalt thou overlay with gold, and, their rings, shalt thou make of gold, as receptacles for the bars,––and thou shalt overlay the bars, with gold.

⁷ And the staves shall be brought into the rings,––so shall the staves be on the two sides of the altar, in lifting it:

⁵ and he brought the staves into the rings, upon the sides of the ark,––for lifting the ark.

⁷ And he brought the staves into the rings, upon the sides of the altar, to lift it therewith,––hollow with boards, did he make it.

²⁸ and thou shalt make the staves, of acacia wood, and shalt overlay them, with gold,––and the table shall be lifted therewith;

⁶ And thou shalt make staves, for the altar, staves of acacia wood,––and shalt overlay them with copper.

⁵ And thou shalt make the staves, of acacia wood,––and overlay them with gold.

⁴ and he made staves of acacia wood,––and overlaid them with gold;

²⁰ And he took and placed the testimony, within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark,––and placed the propitiatory upon the ark, above;

⁶ and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue, over above,––and put in the staves thereof.

⁸ and they shall spread over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin,––and shall put in the staves thereof.

¹¹ And, upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin,––and shall put in the staves thereof.

¹⁴ and put thereupon all the utensils thereof, wherewith they minister thereupon––the fire–pans, the flesh–hooks, and the shovels and the tossing–bowls, all the utensils of the altar,––and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin, and put in the staves thereof.

¹⁵ And the sons of the Levites bare the ark of God, just as Moses commanded, according to the word of Yahweh,––on their shoulder, with the staves upon them.

⁸ And they drew out the staves, and the heads of the staves were seen from the holy place, in front of the shrine, although they were not seen on the outside,––and they have remained there until this day.

⁹ And they drew out the staves, and the heads of the staves could be seen out of the ark, in front of the shrine, although they could not be seen on the outside,––and it came to pass that they have remained there––unto this day.

³⁴ As Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved.

²¹ In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is by the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it, from evening until morning, before Yahweh,––a statute age–abiding, to their generations, from the sons of Israel.

⁶ And thou shalt place it before the veil, which is by the ark of the testimony,––before the propitiatory which is upon the testimony, where I will meet thee.

³⁶ And thou shalt beat some of it to powder, and place thereof before the testimony, in the tent of meeting, where I am to meet with thee,––most holy, shall it be to you.

¹⁸ Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony,––tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

¹⁵ And Moses turned, and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand,––tables written upon, on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written.

²⁹ And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.

²¹ These, are the details of the habitation––the habitation of testimony, which were detailed at the bidding of Moses,––the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

⁴ Then shalt thou lay them up in the tent of meeting,––before the testimony, where I meet with you.

² that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables, which thou brakest in pieces,––then shalt thou put them in the ark. ³ So I made an ark, of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone, like the first,––and went up the mountain, having the two tables in my hand. ⁴ And he wrote upon the tables, according to the first writing––the ten words, which Yahweh had spoken unto you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the convocation,––and Yahweh delivered them unto me. ⁵ Then turned I, and came down out of the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made,––and they have remained there, as Yahweh commanded me.

²⁶ Take this scroll of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God,––so shall it be there in thy midst as a witness.

⁹ There was nothing in the ark, save the two tables of stone, which Moses deposited there in Horeb,––the tables of the covenant which Yahweh solemnised with the sons of Israel, when they came forth out of the land of Egypt.

¹² Then brought he forth the king’s son, and set upon him the crown, and the testimony, and they made him king, and anointed him,––and clapped their hands, and said––May the king live!

¹⁴ Now, as they were taking out the silver which had been brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses. ¹⁵ Then spake up Hilkiah, and said unto Shaphan the scribe, The Book of the Law, have I found, in the house of Yahweh,––and Hilkiah gave the book unto Shaphan.

² Much, every way:––First, indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

³⁴ And thou shalt place the propitiatory, upon the ark of the testimony,––in the most holy [place].

⁶ And he made a propitiatory of pure gold,––two cubits and a half, the length thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the breadth thereof:

¹² and shall take the censer–full of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before Yahweh, and his hands full of fragrant incense, beaten small,––and bring within the veil; ¹³ and shall put the incense upon the fire, before Yahweh,––and the cloud of incense shall cover the propitiatory which is over the testimony, and he shall not die. ¹⁴ Then shall he take of the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle with his finger upon the face of the propitiatory, eastwards,––and before the propitiatory, shall he sprinkle seven times, of the blood, with his finger.
¹⁵ Then shall he slay the sin–bearing goat which is for the people, and bring in its blood, within the veil,––and do with its blood, as he did to the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle it, upon the propitiatory, and before the propitiatory:

¹¹ Then gave David unto Solomon his son, the plan of the porch, and the recesses thereof, and the treasuries thereof, and the upper rooms thereof, and the inner chambers thereof, and the recess for the propitiatory;

²⁵ Whom God hath set forth as a propitiatory covering, through faith in his blood, for a showing forth of his righteousness, by reason of the passing–by of the previously committed sins,

¹⁶ Let us, then, be approaching with freedom of speech, unto the throne of favour, that we may receive mercy, and, favour, may find, for seasonable succour.

⁵ But, over–above it, Cherubim of glory overshadowing the propitiatory:––concerning which things, it is not now [needful] to be speaking, particularly.

² And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins,––and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.

²⁴ So he expelled the man,––and caused to dwell––in front of the garden of Eden––cherubim, and a brandishing sword––flame, to keep the way to the tree of life.

⁷ and he made two cherubim, of gold,––of beaten work, did he make them, out of the two ends of the propitiatory: ⁸ one cherub, out of this, end, and, one cherub, out of that, end,––out of the propitiatory itself, made he the cherubim, out of the two ends thereof: ⁹ and the cherubim were spreading out their wings on high, making a shelter with their wings over the propitiatory, with, their faces, one towards the other,––towards the propitiatory, were the faces of the cherubim.

⁴ So the people sent to Shiloh, and bare from thence the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim,––and, there, were the two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, namely, Hophni and Phinehas.

²³ And he made, within the shrine, two cherubim of wild olive wood,––ten cubits in height; ²⁴ and, five cubits, was the one wing of the cherub, and, five cubits, the second wing of the cherub,––ten cubits, from the one end of his wings unto the other end of his wings. ²⁵ Ten cubits, also was the second cherub,––of one size and one shape, were the two cherubim. ²⁶ The height of the one cherub, was ten cubits,––and, so, of the second cherub. ²⁷ And he placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the cherubim stretched forth their wings,––so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub, was touching the other wall,––and, their wings in the midst of the house, were touching, wing to wing. ²⁸ And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

⁶ So the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh into its place, into the shrine of the house, into the holy of holies,––under the wings of the cherubim. ⁷ For, the cherubim, were spreading forth their two wings, over the place of the ark,––and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and over the staves thereof, above.

¹⁸ and, for the altar of incense, refined gold, by weight,––and, for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, gold, for them that were spreading out, and covering the ark of the covenant of Yahweh:––

² Then said he unto the man clothed in linen––then said he, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with live coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw over the city. So he went in before mine eyes.

²⁰ The same, was the living one, which I saw under the God of Israel, by the river Chebar,––then knew I that, cherubim, they were.

¹⁸ And it was made with cherubim and palm–trees,––with, a palm–tree, between cherub and cherub, and, two faces, had each cherub; ¹⁹ and, the face of a man, was toward the palm–tree on this, side, and, the face of a young lion, was toward the palm–tree on that, side,––[thus was it] made unto all the house, round about on every side.

¹² And he dreamed, and lo! a stairway, planted earthwards, with, its top, reaching towards the heavens,––and lo! messengers of God, ascending and descending thereon;

¹⁸ And thou shalt make two cherubim, of gold,––of beaten work, shalt thou make them, out of the two ends of the propitiatory.

⁷ For, the cherubim, were spreading forth their two wings, over the place of the ark,––and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and over the staves thereof, above.

¹⁰ And he made, in the most holy house, two cherubim, of carved work,––and covered them with gold.

¹ In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw My Lord, sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and, his skirts, did fill the temple. ² Seraphim, were standing above him; six wings severally, had each one,––With twain, he covered his face, And, with twain, he covered his feet, And, with twain, he did fly. ³ And they continued crying out one to another, and said, Holy––holy––holy, is Yahweh of hosts,––the fulness of the whole earth, is his glory. ⁴ And the foundations of the porch, were moved, at the voice of him that cried,––and, the house, was filled with smoke.
⁵ Then said I––Woe to me!––for I am undone, Because, a man of unclean lips, am, I, And, in the midst of a people of unclean lips, do, I, dwell,––For, the King, Yahweh of hosts, have mine eyes seen!

²⁰ whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went––thither, was the spirit minded to go,––and, the wheels, would be lifted up along with them, for, the spirit of the living one, was in the wheels:

¹⁴ Thou, wast the anointed cherub that covered,––When I appointed thee, in the holy mount of God, thou wast, Amid stones of fire, thou didst walk to and fro:

³¹ And he will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen––Out of the four winds, from heavens’ bounds, unto their bounds.

⁵¹ And he saith unto him––Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven––when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.

⁹ For I think that, God, hath set forth, us the apostles, to be last of all, as men devoted to death,––in that, a spectacle, have we been made, unto the world,––both unto messengers and unto men.

¹⁰ For this cause, ought the woman to have, permission, upon her head, because of the messengers.

¹⁰ In order that now, unto the principalities and the authorities in the heavenlies, might be made known, through means of the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,––

¹⁰ And ye are, in him, filled full,––Who, is the head of all principality and authority,

¹⁴ Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service,––for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?

¹² Unto whom it was revealed––that, Not unto themselves, but unto us, they were ministering them, which things have, now, been announced unto you through them who have told you the good tidings with Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven: into which things messengers are coveting to obtain a nearer view.

²² Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, messengers and authorities and powers, having been made subject unto him.

¹¹ And I saw, and heard a voice of many messengers, round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders,––and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands–– ¹² saying with a loud voice––Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

¹⁶ And thou shalt put into the ark,––the testimony which I will give unto thee. ¹⁷ And thou shalt make a propitiatory, of pure gold,––two cubits and a half, the length thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the breadth thereof.

⁴ For Christ is an end of law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth.

³³ And Yahweh went his way, when he had made an end, of speaking unto Abraham,––Abraham, also returned to his place.

²⁴ An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending–sacrifices, and thy peace–offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee, and will bless thee.

⁴² a continual ascending–sacrifice, to your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh,––where will meet with you, to speak unto thee, there. ⁴³ So will I meet there, with the sons of Israel,––and it shall be hallowed by my glory.

⁶ I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him––Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and, in the heart of every one that is wise–hearted, have I put wisdom,––so shall they make all that I have commanded thee:––

¹ Then called he unto Moses,––and Yahweh spake unto him, out of the tent of meeting, saying:

² And Yahweh said unto Moses––Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he do not come at all times into the holy place, within the veil,––into the presence of the propitiatory, which is upon the ark, so shall he not die, for, in the cloud, will I appear upon the propitiatory.

⁸⁹ And, when Moses entered into the tent of meeting, that He might speak with him, then heard he the Voice speaking unto him, from off the propitiatory that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim,––so He spake unto him.

²⁶ For who [is there] of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God, speaking out of the midst of fire, as we, and yet lived? ²⁷ Go, thou, near, and hear, all that Yahweh our God shall say,––so shalt, thou, speak unto us, all that Yahweh our God shall speak unto thee, and we will hear and do. ²⁸ And Yahweh heard, the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me,––and Yahweh said unto me––I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee, they have well said all which they have spoken. ²⁹ Oh that this their heart might remain in them, to revere me, and to keep all my commandments, all the days,––that it might be well with them and with their sons, unto times age–abiding. ³⁰ Go, say unto them,––Return ye to your tents. ³¹ Thou, therefore, here, stand with me and let me speak unto thee––all the commandment, and the statutes, and the regulations, which thou shalt teach them,––that they may do [them] in the land which I, am giving unto them, to possess it.

²⁷ And the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh,––there, being the ark of the covenant of God, in those days;

² Then David, and all the people that were with him, arose and went beyond Baale Judah,––to bring up from thence, the ark of God, the name whereof is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim thereupon.

¹⁵ And Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh, and said, O Yahweh, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, thou thyself, art GOD, alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth,––thou, didst make the heavens and the earth.

¹ [To the Chief Musician. For "the Lilies of Testimony." Asaph’s. A Melody.]
O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Thou who leddest forth Joseph like a rock, Thou who art throned on the cherubim, appear!

¹ [BOOK THE FOURTH]
¶ [A Prayer by Moses, the Man of God.]
Lord! a dwelling–place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:

¹ Yahweh, hath become king, Let the peoples, tremble, He is enthroned on the cherubim, Let the earth, shake.

¹⁶ O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel––inhabiting the cherubim, Thou thyself, art GOD, even thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou, didst make, the heavens and the earth.

¹⁰ And he made the table, of acacia wood,––two cubits, the length thereof, and, a cubit, the breadth thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the height thereof. ¹¹ And he overlaid it, with pure gold,––and he made thereto a rim of gold, round about; ¹² and he mane thereto a border of a handbreadth, round about,––and he made a rim of gold to the border thereof, round about; ¹³ and he cast for it, four rings of gold,––and placed the rings upon the four corners, which pertained to the four feet thereof: ¹⁴ near to the border, were the rings,––as receptacles for the staves, for lifting the table; ¹⁵ and he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold,––for lifting the table; ¹⁶ and he made the utensils which were to be upon the table, its dishes, and its pans, and its bowls, and its basins, for pouring out therewith,––of pure gold.

²² And he placed the table, in the tent of meeting,––on the side of the habitation northward,––outside the veil; ²³ and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread, before Yahweh,––As Yahweh commanded Moses.

⁶ And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row,––upon the pure table, before Yahweh.

³¹ And, their charge, was––the ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the utensils of the sanctuary wherewith they were to minister,––and the screen, as to all the laborious work thereof.

⁴⁸ And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh,––the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereon was the presence–bread;

¹⁶ And the gold [gave he] by weight for the tables for setting in array, for each several table,––and silver, for the tables of silver;

⁸ And he made ten tables, and placed in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left,––and he made a hundred tossing bowls of gold.

¹⁹ Yea Solomon made all the utensils which were for the house of God,––and the altar of gold, and the rubles, whereon was the Presence–bread;

⁴¹ Four tables, on this side and, four tables, on that side, by the side of the gate,––eight tables, whereupon they shall slay. ⁴² And, the four tables for the ascending–offering, were of hewn stone, in length, one cubit and a half, and, in breadth, one cubit and a half, and, in height, one cubit,––that, thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending–offering and the sacrifice.

² For a tent was prepared, the first, in which were both the lampstand and the table and the setting forth of the loaves,––the which is called the Holy place;

¹¹ And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without, shalt thou overlay it,––and thou shalt make thereon a rim of gold, round about.

²⁰ And, the interior of the shrine, was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it, with pure gold,––and overlaid the altar with cedar. ²¹ Thus then did Solomon overlay the house within, with pure gold,––and he drew chains of gold across the front of the shrine, and overlaid it with gold; ²² yea, all the house, overlaid he with gold, until he had made all the house into one whole,––even all the altar that was by the shrine, overlaid he with gold.

² and he overlaid it with pure gold, within and without,––and made for it a rim of gold, round about;

¹⁴ And thou shalt bring in the staves, into the rings, on the sides of the ark,––to bear the ark therewith.

²⁷ adjoining the border, shall be the rings,––as receptacles for the staves, for lifting the table;

¹⁷ Then was taken down the habitation,––and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the habitation.

¹⁵ But the Lord said unto him––Be going thy way; for, a choice vessel unto me, is this man, to bear my name before both [the] nations and kings, and the sons of Israel;

¹⁶ and he made the utensils which were to be upon the table, its dishes, and its pans, and its bowls, and its basins, for pouring out therewith,––of pure gold.

⁵ And thou shalt take fine meal, and bake it, in twelve cakes,––of two–tenths, shall each cake be. ⁶ And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row,––upon the pure table, before Yahweh. ⁷ And thou shalt put, upon each row, pure frankincense,––so shall it belong unto the bread as a memorial, an altar–flame unto Yahweh. ⁸ Sabbath day by sabbath day, shall he order it, before Yahweh, continually,––from the sons of Israel, as an age–abiding covenant: ⁹ so shall it be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it, in a holy place,––for, most holy, shall it be unto him, from among the altar–flames of Yahweh, a statute age–abiding.

⁷ And, over the Presence–table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;

¹³ and, his offering, was––one charger of silver, a hundred and thirty shekels, the weight thereof, one tossing bowl, of silver, seventy shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,––both of them, full of fine meal overflowed with oil, for a meal–offering;

¹⁹ He offered as his oblation––one charger of silver, a hundred and thirty [shekels], the weight thereof, one tossing bowl, of silver, seventy shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,––both of them, full of fine meal overflowed with oil, as a meal–offering;

³¹ his offering, one charger of silver, a hundred and thirty [shekels], the weight thereof, one tossing bowl, of silver, seventy shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,––both of them, full of fine meal overflowed with oil, as a meal–offering; ³² one spoon of ten [shekels] of gold, full of incense: ³³ one choice young bullock, one ram, one he–lamb of the first year, as an ascending–sacrifice;

⁵⁰ and the bowls, and the snuffers, and the tossing bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold,––and the hinge–holes, for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house itself, the temple, of, gold.

²² and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the censers, of purified gold,––and the entrance of the house, the inner doors thereof for the holy of holies, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

⁹ And, these, were the numbers of them,––basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty–nine; ¹⁰ bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten,––other utensils, a thousand. ¹¹ All the utensils, in gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred,––the whole, did Sheshbazzar bring up with the upbringing of the exile, out of Babylon unto Jerusalem.

¹ [HE] I have entered my garden, my sister, bride, I have plucked my myrrh, with my balsam, I have eaten the honey of my thicket, I have drunk my wine, with my milk:––Eat ye, O friends, Drink, yea drink abundantly, ye beloved! [****]

¹⁸ and, the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away; ¹⁹ and, the basins and the censers and the dashing bowls and the caldrons and the lamps and the spoons and the cups, which were of gold, in, gold, and which were of silver, in, silver, did the chief of the royal executioners, take away.

²⁰ Lo! I am standing at the door, and knocking; if anyone shall hearken unto my voice, and open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and, he, with, me.

¹³ the table with its staves, and all its utensils, and the Presence–bread;

³⁶ the table, all its utensils, and the Presence–bread;

⁶ So the priest gave him hallowed [bread], ––because there was there no bread, save the Presence–Bread, which had to be removed from before Yahweh, to put hot bread, on the day when it should be taken away.

³² And, some from among the Kohathites, of their brethren, were over the Bread that was set in Array,––to place it sabbath by sabbath.

²⁹ and for the bread set in array, and for the fine meal for the meal–offering, and for the unleavened cakes, even for that which is baked in a pan, for the moistened food,––even of every measure, and size;

¹¹ and they are making a perfume unto Yahweh, with ascending–sacrifices morning by morning, and evening by evening and an incense of sweet spices, and are putting in order bread upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps thereof, for lighting up evening by evening, for, observant, are we of the charge of Yahweh our God,––whereas, ye, have forsaken him.

⁷ In bringing near upon mine altar, polluted food, while yet ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? Because ye say, As for the table of Yahweh, a thing to be despised, it is;

¹² But ye are profaning me,–– in that ye say, As for the table of the Lord, polluted it is, and, as for his produce, contemptible is his food.

⁴ he entered into the house of God and, the presence–bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him,––save for the priests, alone?

¹⁴ the lampstand for giving light, with its utensils, and its lamps,––and the oil for giving light;

¹⁷ And he made the lampstand, of pure gold,––of beaten work, made he the lampstand,––its base and its shafts, its cups, its apples and its blossoms, were, of the same; ¹⁸ with, six branches, coming out of its sides,––three branches of the lampstand, out of its one, side, and, three branches of the lampstand, out of its other, side: ¹⁹ three cups like almond–flowers, in the one branch––apple and blossom, and, three cups like almond–flowers, in the next branch, apple and blossom, so, for the six branches, coming out of the lampstand; ²⁰ and, in the lampstand itself, four cups,––like almond–flowers, its apples and its blossoms; ²¹ with, an apple, under the two branches, of the same, and, an apple, under the next two branches, of the same, and, an apple, under the next two branches of the same,––for the six branches coming out of the same: ²² their apples and their brunches, were, of the same,––all of it, one beaten work, of pure gold. ²³ And he made the lamps thereof, seven,––with its snuffers and its snuff–trays, of pure gold. ²⁴ Of a talent of pure gold, made he it,––and all the utensils thereof.

¹⁸ And, the cedar for the house within, was carved with colocynths, and with festoons of flowers,––the whole, was cedar, there was no stone to be seen.

²⁴ And, colocynths, were under the brim thereof round about, encompassing it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea, round about,––two rows of colocynths, made in the casting thereof:

⁴⁹ and the lamp–holders––five on the right and five on the left, before the shrine, of pure gold,––with the blossoms, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

² Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said––I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand––all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof;

¹² And I turned round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold;

²⁰ The sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold:––The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies

⁵ Remember, therefore, whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do, thy first works; otherwise, I come unto thee, and will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou repent.

⁵ And, out of the throne, are coming forth lightnings, and voices, and thunderings; and [there are] seven torches of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

¹⁹ three cups like almond–flowers, in the one branch––apple and blossom, and, three cups like almond–flowers, in the next branch, apple and blossom, so, for the six branches, coming out of the lampstand; ²⁰ and, in the lampstand itself, four cups,––like almond–flowers, its apples and its blossoms;

⁴ Then shalt thou lay them up in the tent of meeting,––before the testimony, where I meet with you. ⁵ So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud,––so will I cause to cease from against me, the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith, they, are murmuring against you. ⁶ And Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, and every one of their princes gave unto him, a staff apiece, for each prince, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves,––and, the staff of Aaron, was in the midst of their staves. ⁷ So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh,––in the tent of the testimony.
⁸ And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded,––yea it had brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.

¹¹ Moreover the Word of Yahweh came unto me, saying, What canst thou see, Jeremiah? And I said, A twig of an almond–tree, can I see. ¹² Then said Yahweh unto me––Thou hast rightly seen,––for, keeping watch, am I, over my word, to perform it.

³ and, Two Olive–trees, by it,––one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.

⁴ Now, this, was the work of the lampstand––beaten work of gold, both in the shaft thereof and in the flowers thereof, was it, beaten work, according to the appearance which Yahweh caused to appear unto Moses, so, made he the lampstand.

¹⁶ And King Solomon made two hundred shields, of beaten gold, six hundred [shekels] of gold, laid he upon one shield; ¹⁷ and three hundred bucklers, of beaten gold, one hundred and fifty shekels of gold, laid he upon one buckler,––and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁵ And King Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold,––six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold, overlay one shield;

⁸ and, when Aaron lighteth the lamps, between the evenings, shall he burn it,––a continual incense before Yahweh, to your generations.

²³ And he made the lamps thereof, seven,––with its snuffers and its snuff–trays, of pure gold.

²⁴ And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table,––on the side of the habitation, southward;

² Command the sons of Israel, That they bring unto thee pure oil olive, beaten, for giving light,––to cause the lamp to burn up continually. ³ Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it, from evening until morning, before Yahweh, continually,––a statute age–abiding, to your generations. ⁴ Upon the pure lampstand, shall he order the lamps,––before Yahweh, continually.

² Speak unto Aaron, and thou shalt say unto him,––When thou lightest up the lamps, over against the front of the lampstand, shall the seven lamps give light.

¹⁰⁵ [NUN.] A lamp to my feet, is thy word, and a light to my path.

²³ For, a lamp, is the commandment, and, the instruction, a light, and, the way of life, are the reproofs of correction:

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, [It is] because they have no, dawning day.

¹⁴ Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.

⁷⁹ To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.

⁹ It, was––The real light that enlighteneth every man––Coming into the world.

¹² Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying––I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

⁵ Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?

¹⁸ To open their eyes; that they turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.

⁴ John, unto the Seven Assemblies which are in Asia, Favour to you, and peace, from––Him who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, and from––The Seven Spirits which are before his throne,

²³ And, the city, hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine therein; for, the glory of God, illumined it, and, the lamp thereof, was the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations, shall walk, through her light; and, the kings of the earth, do bring their glory into it, ²⁵ and, the gates thereof, shall in nowise be shut, by day,––night, in fact, shall not be there,––

⁵ And, night, shall be, no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because, the Lord, God, will give them light,––and they shall reign unto the ages of ages.

⁹ Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light–giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof, and the snuff–trays thereof,––and all the oil–vessels thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;

¹³ Howbeit there were not made for the house of Yahweh, bowls of silver, snuffers, dashing basins, trumpets, any vessel of gold, or any vessel of silver,––out of the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh;

¹⁴ and, the caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away;

²¹ and the blossom–work, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold,––the same, was the purest gold;

⁶ Then flew unto me, one of the seraphim, And, in his hand, a live coal,––With tongs, had he taken it from off the altar.

¹⁸ and, the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away;

⁹ according to all that, I, am shewing thee, the pattern of the habitation, and the pattern of all the furnishings thereof, even so, shall ye make it.

³⁰ So shalt thou rear up the habitation, according to the fashion thereof, which thou wast caused to see, in the mount.

⁴² According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel make all the work. ⁴³ And Moses looked upon all the structure, and lo! they had made it, as Yahweh had commanded, so, had they made it,––and Moses blessed them.

¹⁹ the whole in writing, From the hand of Yahweh upon me, to give understanding,––all the works of the pattern.

¹¹ And, when they have blushed for all that they have done, then––The form of the house, And the arrangement thereof, And the exits thereof, And the entrances thereof, And all the forms thereof, and all the statutes thereof, And all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof, make thou known unto them, And write [it] before their eyes; That they may keep––All the forms thereof, And all the statutes thereof, And do them. ¹² This, shall be the law of the house,––Upon the top of the mountain, all the boundary thereof round about on every side, [shall be] most holy, Lo! this, shall be the law of the house.
