The Altar of Burnt Offering

27¹ And thou shalt make the altar of acacia-wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth; the altar shall be square; and the height thereof three cubits. ² And thou shalt make its horns at the four corners thereof; its horns shall be of itself; and thou shalt overlay it with copper. ³ And thou shalt make its pots to cleanse it of the fat, its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its firepans; for all the utensils thereof thou shalt employ copper. ⁴ And thou shalt make for it a grating of network of copper; and on the net shalt thou make four copper rings at its four corners; ⁵ and thou shalt put it under the ledge of the altar beneath, and the net shall be to the very middle of the altar. ⁶ And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with copper. ⁷ And its staves shall be put into the rings, that the staves may be on both sides of the altar, when it is carried. ⁸ Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it hath been shewn thee on the mountain, so shall they make [it].

The Court of the Tabernacle

⁹ And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side, southward, hangings for the court of twined byssus; a hundred cubits the length for the one side, ¹⁰ and the twenty pillars thereof, and their twenty bases of copper, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver. ¹¹ And likewise on the north side in length, hangings a hundred [cubits] long, and its twenty pillars, and their twenty bases of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver. ¹² —And the breadth of the court on the west side, hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their bases ten. ¹³ —And the breadth of the court on the east side, eastward, fifty cubits; ¹⁴ the hangings on the one wing, of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their bases three. ¹⁵ And on the other wing hangings of fifteen [cubits]; their pillars three, and their bases three. ¹⁶ —And for the gate of the court a curtain of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, embroidered with needlework; their pillars four, and their bases four. ¹⁷ All the pillars of the court round about shall be fastened together with [rods of] silver; their hooks of silver, and their bases of copper. ¹⁸ The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty everywhere, and the height five cubits of twined byssus; and their bases of copper. ¹⁹ All the utensils of the tabernacle for the service thereof and all the pegs thereof, and all the pegs of the court shall be of copper.

The Tending of the Lamp

²⁰ And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee olive oil, pure, beaten, for the light, to light the lamp continually. ²¹ In the tent of meeting outside the veil, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall dress them from evening to morning before Jehovah: [it is] an everlasting statute, for their generations, on the part of the children of Israel.

The Garments for the Priests

28¹ And thou shalt take thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me as priest—Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons. ² And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament. ³ And thou shalt speak with all [that are] wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest. ⁴ And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest. ⁵ And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus,

⁶ and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work. ⁷ It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together. ⁸ And the girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and twined byssus. ⁹ And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel: ¹⁰ six of their names on the one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth. ¹¹ According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them. ¹² And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod [as] stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial. ¹³ And thou shalt make enclosures of gold; ¹⁴ and two chains of pure gold; of laced work shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and fasten the wreathen chains to the enclosures.

¹⁵ And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment of artistic work, like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus shalt thou make it. ¹⁶ Square shall it be, doubled; a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof. ¹⁷ And thou shalt set in it settings of stones—four rows of stones: [one] row, a sardoin, 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 chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper; enclosed in gold shall they be in their settings. ²¹ And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal: every one according to his name shall they be for the twelve tribes. ²² And thou shalt make on the breastplate chains of laced work, of wreathen work, of pure gold. ²³ And thou shalt make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. ²⁴ And thou shalt put the two wreathen [cords] of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate; ²⁵ and the two ends of the two wreathen [cords] thou shalt fasten to the two enclosures, and shalt put [them] on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof. ²⁶ And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards. ²⁷ And two rings of gold shalt thou make, and shalt put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod. ²⁸ And they shall bind the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod. ²⁹ And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually. ³⁰ And thou shalt put into the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, that they may be upon Aaron's heart when he goeth in before Jehovah; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.

³¹ And thou shalt make the cloak of the ephod all of blue. ³² And its opening for the head shall be in the midst thereof; there shall be a binding of woven work at its opening round about; as the opening of a coat of mail, it shall be in it—it shall not rend. ³³ And on the skirts thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: ³⁴ a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about. ³⁵ And it shall be on Aaron for service; that his sound may be heard when he goeth into the sanctuary before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he may not die. ³⁶ And thou shalt make a thin plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, as the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah! ³⁷ And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the turban—upon the front of the turban shall it be. ³⁸ And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all gifts of their holy things; and it shall be continually on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah. ³⁹ And thou shalt weave the vest of byssus; and thou shalt make a turban of byssus; and thou shalt make a girdle of embroidery.

⁴⁰ And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make vests; and thou shalt make for them girdles; and high caps shalt thou make for them, for glory and for ornament. ⁴¹ And thou shalt clothe with them Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and hallow them, that they may serve me as priests. ⁴² And thou shalt make them linen trousers to cover the flesh of nakedness; from the loins even to the hips shall they reach. ⁴³ And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons when they enter into the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to serve in the sanctuary; that they may not bear iniquity and die—an everlasting statute for him and his seed after him.

The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

21¹ And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, ² saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose [them] and lead [them] to me. ³ And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them. ⁴ But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, ⁵ Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. ⁶ But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them, ⁷ brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them. ⁸ But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way. ⁹ And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed [be] he who comes in the name of [the] Lord; hosanna in the highest. ¹⁰ And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this? ¹¹ And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

The Cleansing of the Temple

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple [of God], and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves. ¹³ And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers. ¹⁴ And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant, ¹⁶ and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? ¹⁷ And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.

The Cursing of the Fig Tree

¹⁸ But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered. ¹⁹ And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up. ²⁰ And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up! ²¹ And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass. ²² And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
