Exodus 36

³You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest.

³⁰Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

³¹And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

¹Then the Lord said to Moses,

²“See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

¹From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, as well as the holy garments for Aaron, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

⁸And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

⁶Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.

¹⁷Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”

⁶Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:

⁴No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

⁵for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who is willing to consecrate himself to the Lord today?”

²³Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

²For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.

²⁹So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the Lord for all the work that the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.

²⁷The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,

⁵Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze;

⁶blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

³In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

⁴The Lord God has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

⁸Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the Lord.

⁴²And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

¹⁰By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.

¹³So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it.

⁴⁵Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?

⁶And the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things consecrated to the Lord their God, and they laid them in large heaps.

⁷In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.

²In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.

³For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,

¹⁴When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and with it were made articles for the house of the Lord—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the Lord.

¹⁷Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.

¹⁸I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

²¹For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

³Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.

¹⁰and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat, and there is plenty left over, because the Lord has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”

¹⁰In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.

²³In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim, each ten cubits high, out of olive wood.

¹⁰Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the Lord has commanded:

¹“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

²Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide—all curtains the same size.

⁶Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:

¹⁸Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,

¹A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

²³which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

³Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

¹⁰I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

³Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

²with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

³and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

⁴Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

⁵Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

¹⁰Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

²⁰As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

⁴As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,

⁵you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

²⁰built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

²¹In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

⁷You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

⁸Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

¹⁴Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

⁵ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

¹While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab,

³So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.

¹⁸When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.

¹⁹Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the Lord had commanded him.

¹⁰And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

¹⁵You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

¹⁶Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

²²Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

²⁷five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

³²The multitude of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned.

¹⁰He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,

²with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

³and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

³Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

¹⁵by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace

²¹In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

²⁵So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

²⁶You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

²⁷five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

²⁸Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.

⁵Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

²⁶You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

⁵¹At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

²¹Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the veil for the screen, and shielded off the ark of the Testimony, just as the Lord had commanded him.

⁶Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony—before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony—where I will meet with you.

³¹Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

³²Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

²⁰by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,

¹⁸Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.

³⁶For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

³⁷Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold, use hooks of gold, and cast five bronze bases for them.

²⁸Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

¹⁰with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.
