¹ ¶ In the same manner thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; of cedar wood shalt thou make it. ² Its length shall be a cubit and its width a cubit; it shall be square and its height two cubits; its horns shall be of the same. ³ And thou shalt cover it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make unto it a moulding of gold round about. ⁴ And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under its moulding by its two corners on both sides for places for the staves to bear it with. ⁵ And thou shalt make the staves of cedar wood and cover them with gold. ⁶ And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the seat of reconciliation that is over the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself. ⁷ And Aaron shall burn sweet incense thereon every morning; when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it. ⁸ And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it continually before the LORD throughout your ages. ⁹ Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon nor burnt sacrifice nor present; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon. ¹⁰ And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once a year with the blood of the reconciliation for sin; once a year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your ages; it shall be most holy unto the LORD. ¹¹ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, ¹² When thou takest the number of the sons of Israel after the sum of them, each one shall give a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou dost number them, that there be no mortality in them because of numbering them. ¹³ This shall be given by every one that passes among those that are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs); a half shekel shall be the offering to the LORD. ¹⁴ Anyone that passes among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the offering unto the LORD. ¹⁵ The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give the offering unto the LORD to make reconciliation for your souls. ¹⁶ And thou shalt take the reconciliation money of the sons of Israel and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the testimony, and it shall be a memorial unto the sons of Israel before the LORD to reconcile your souls. ¹⁷ ¶ And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying, ¹⁸ Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and its base also of brass, to wash with; and thou shalt place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, and thou shalt put water in it. ¹⁹ And from it Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.

²⁵ ¶ He also made the altar of incense of cedar wood: the length of it was a cubit and the breadth of it a cubit; it was square; and two cubits was the height of it; its horns were of the same piece. ²⁶ And he covered it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about and its horns; and he made it a moulding of gold round about. ²⁷ He also made two rings of gold for it under the moulding thereof, by the two corners of it, upon its two sides, to be places for the staves to bear it with. ²⁸ And he made the staves of cedar wood and covered them with gold.

³⁸ the golden altar and the anointing oil and the aromatic incense and the hanging for the tabernacle door.

⁵ And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

²⁶ He also put the golden altar in the tabernacle of the testimony before the veil. ²⁷ And he burnt aromatic incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

¹⁰ and the clothes of service and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons that they may be priests,

⁸ And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony and the charge of the sons of Israel, to minister in the service of the tabernacle.

⁷ And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue and put thereon the dishes and the spoons and the bowls and covers to cover withal; and the continual bread shall be thereon.

¹⁴ They also took away the pots and the shovels and the snuffers and the spoons and all the vessels of brass, with which they ministered. ¹⁵ And the censers and the bowls and such things as were of gold in gold and of silver in silver the captain of the guard took away, also

²⁹ Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels and all the instruments of the sanctuary and the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.

¹¹ ¶ And Hiram made the pots and the shovels and the basins. And Hiram finished the work, that he had been making for King Solomon for the house of God,

¹⁶ and the pots and the shovels and the fleshhooks and all their vessels, did Hiram, his father, make to King Solomon for the house of the LORD of the purest brass.

¹⁹ And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables upon which the showbread was set;

²² also the snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the censers, of pure gold. Regarding the entry of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

¹ ¶ Thou shalt also make an altar of cedar wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare, and its height shall be three cubits. ² And thou shalt make the horns of it upon its four corners; its horns shall be of the same, and thou shalt cover it with brass. ³ And thou shalt make its pans to receive the ashes with its burnt fat, and its shovels and its basins and its fleshhooks and its firepans; all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass. ⁴ And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof. ⁵ And thou shalt put it under the circumference of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar. ⁶ Thou shalt also make staves for the altar, staves of cedar wood, and cover them with brass. ⁷ And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it. ⁸ Hollow with boards shalt thou make it; as it was showed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.

¹² And the fire burning upon the altar shall not be put out, but the priest shall put wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and he shall burn upon it the fat of the peace. ¹³ The fire shall burn continuously upon the altar; it shall not be put out.

⁶ and shall put thereon the covering of badgers’ skins and shall spread over it a cloth entirely of blue and shall put in the staves thereof. ⁷ And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue and put thereon the dishes and the spoons and the bowls and covers to cover withal; and the continual bread shall be thereon. ⁸ And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skins and shall put in the staves thereof. ⁹ And they shall take a cloth of blue and cover the lampstand of the light and its lamps and its tongs and its snuffdishes and all the oil vessels thereof with which they minister unto it;

¹¹ And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins and shall put in the staves thereof; ¹² and they shall take all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the sanctuary and put them in a cloth of blue and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins and shall put them on a bar.

¹ ¶ And he made the altar of burnt offering of cedar wood: five cubits was its length and five cubits its breadth; it was square, and its height was three cubits. ² And he made its horns on the four corners of it; its horns were of the same piece; and he covered it with brass. ³ He made likewise all the vessels of the altar: the pots and the shovels and the basins and the fleshhooks, and the firepans; all its vessels he made of brass. ⁴ And he made for the altar the brasen grate of network under the circumference thereof beneath unto the midst of it. ⁵ He also cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves. ⁶ And he made the staves of cedar wood and covered them with brass. ⁷ And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it with; he made the altar hollow with boards.

¹² And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that ye go not up into the mount or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mount shall surely die:

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

³⁸ And those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the tabernacle of the testimony towards the sunrise, shall be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

⁹ But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none; because the ministry of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.

²¹ Then the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary, and while they were coming, the others set up the tabernacle.

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

¹⁰ ¶ For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people made haste and passed.

¹⁹ ¶ Then God smote those of Bethshemesh because they had looked at the ark of the LORD; he smote fifty thousand of the people and seventy principal men. And the people lamented because the LORD had smitten the people with such a great slaughter.

⁶ ¶ And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen shook it. ⁷ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his effrontery, and there he died by the ark of God.

¹³ And it was so that when those that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

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

² Then David said, The ark of God should not be brought except by the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister unto him perpetually.

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

¹⁸ ¶ For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched and that burned with fire nor unto blackness and darkness and tempest ¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, which voice those that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more; ²⁰ (for they could not endure that which was commanded, and if so much as a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with a dart: ²¹ and so terrible was the sight that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake); ²² but ye are come unto Mount Sion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, ²³ to the congregation of the called out ones of the firstborn, who are registered in the heavens and to God the Judge of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect ²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better than that of Abel. ²⁵ See that you do not refuse him that speaks. For if those who refused him that spoke on earth did not escape, much less shall we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from the heavens, ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet even once, I shall shake not the earth only, but also the heaven. ²⁷ And this word, Yet even once, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. ²⁸ Therefore, receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us hold fast to the grace, by which we serve God, pleasing him with reverence and godly fear: ²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

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

²⁰ ¶ And thou shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring thee olive oil, clear, crushed, for the light, to cause the lamps to burn always. ²¹ In the tabernacle of the testimony outside the veil, which shall be before the ark of the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order them from evening to morning before the LORD; it shall be a perpetual statute of the sons of Israel for their generations.

³⁹ The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening. ⁴⁰ Moreover a tenth ephah of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil and the fourth part of a hin of wine with each lamb. ⁴¹ And thou shalt offer the other lamb at evening, doing according to the present of the morning and according to its drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering on fire unto the LORD.

²³ Thou must take unto thee of the principal spices: of excellent myrrh five hundred shekels and of aromatic cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of aromatic calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, ²⁴ and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive one hin; ²⁵ and thou shalt make of it the oil of the holy anointing, a superior ointment, after the art of the apothecary, which shall be the oil of the holy anointing. ²⁶ And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony with it and the ark of the testimony ²⁷ and the table and all its vessels and the lampstand and its vessels and the altar of incense ²⁸ and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base. ²⁹ Thus thou shalt consecrate them, and they shall be most holy; whatever touches them shall be sanctified. ³⁰ And thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify them that they may be my priests. ³¹ And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be my oil of the holy anointing throughout your ages. ³² It shall not be poured upon man’s flesh; neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. ³³ Whoever compounds any like it and puts any of it upon a stranger shall be cut off from his people. ³⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee aromas, stacte and onycha and aromatic galbanum and pure frankincense, of each in equal weight. ³⁵ And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy; ³⁶ and thou shalt beat some of it very small and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself. It shall be most holy unto you. ³⁷ And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves another according to the composition thereof: it shall be holiness unto thee for the LORD. ³⁸ Whoever shall make another like unto that to smell it shall be cut off from his people.

¹¹ and the anointing oil and aromatic incense for the sanctuary; they shall do according to all that I have commanded thee.

²⁹ He made likewise the oil of the holy anointing and the pure aromatic incense, according to the work of the apothecary.

²⁰ This shall be the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when they shall be anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a perpetual present, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.

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

³² And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, shall be principal over the princes of the Levites and have the oversight of those that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those that are broken,

²⁸ Take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as bishops to feed the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.

¹ ¶ Let us reckon men as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

⁵ For there is only one God and likewise only one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

¹ ¶ Therefore, brethren, saints, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

⁶ but Christ as a son over his own house, which house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the glorious hope firmly until the end.

²⁵ For ye were as sheep that had gone astray, but are now converted unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

² Feed the flock of God which is among you, caring for her, not by force, but willingly; not for shameful lucre, but with willing desire;

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

¹ ¶ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer and put fire therein and put incense thereon and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had never commanded them. ² And there went out fire from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

³² the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses and all the men of Korah and all their goods.

¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, Return Aaron’s rod before the testimony to be kept for a sign unto the rebellious sons; and thou shalt cause their complaints to cease from upon me, that they not die.

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

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

² And there went out fire from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

¹⁹ ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings and voices and thunderings and earthquakes and great hail.

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

²¹ Of Gershon was the family of Libni and the family of Shimei; these are the families of Gershon.

²⁴ and the prince of the house of the father of the Gershonites, Eliasaph, son of Lael.

³ from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do work in the tabernacle of the testimony.

³ were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

²⁴ ¶ These are the sons of Levi after the houses of their fathers, even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did work in the ministry of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.

²⁷ For by the last words of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above.

¹ ¶ Who is this that comes from Edom, with red garments from Bozrah? This glorious one in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. ² Why art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treads in the winefat? ³ I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no one with me; for I have trodden them with my anger and have trampled them with my fury; and their blood sprinkled my garments and stained all my raiment. ⁴ For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

¹⁴ ¶ For we now know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold unto subjection by sin. ¹⁵ For that which I do, I do not understand, and not even the good that I desire is what I do; but what I hate, that is what I do. ¹⁶ If then I do that which I do not desire, I approve that the law is good. ¹⁷ So that it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. ¹⁸ And I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing; for I have the desire, but I am not able to perform that which is good. ¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not desire, that I do. ²⁰ And if I do that which I do not desire, I am not working, but sin that dwells in me. ²¹ So that, desiring to do good, I find this law: evil is natural unto me. ²² For I delight with the law of God with the inward man, ²³ but I see another law in my members which rebels against the law of my mind, bringing captive unto the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

⁷ Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? or who feeds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock?

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

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh ⁴ (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the destruction of strong holds), ⁵ casting down reasonings and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ

¹⁷ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

²⁴ For those that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.

¹⁰ ¶ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand firm against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the lords of this age, rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in the heavens. ¹³ Therefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and stand fast, all the work having been finished. ¹⁴ Stand firm, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate, {the coat of mail and coat of arms} of righteousness, ¹⁵ and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, ¹⁶ above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching in this with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints ¹⁹ ¶ and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

³ Thou, therefore, work hard as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith;

²⁷ According to the word of Aaron and his sons shall be all the ministry of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.

³¹ And this shall be the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the testimony: the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and sockets thereof, ³² and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their stakes and their cords with all their instruments and with all their service; and ye shall number by name the vessels of the charge of their burden.

⁴⁷ from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to serve in the service and to bear a burden in the tabernacle of the testimony,

⁴⁹ As the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, they were numbered, each one according to his ministry and according to his burden; thus were they numbered of Moses, as the LORD commanded him.

¹⁴ And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering above of badgers’ skins.

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

⁵ Take it from them, and it shall be for the service of the tabernacle of the testimony; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to each one according to his ministry. ⁶ Then Moses received the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. ⁷ Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their ministry;

⁹ ¶ In the same manner thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle; to the side of the Negev to the south there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of one hundred cubits long for each side;

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

⁷⁰ as he spoke by the mouth of the saints who from the beginning were his prophets;

² Now I praise you, brothers, that ye remember me in all things and retain my instructions the same as I spoke unto you.

³³ This shall be the service of the families of the sons of Merari for all their ministry, in the tabernacle of the testimony, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

⁵ And there is dispersal of ministries, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there is dispersal of operations, but it is the same God who works all in each one.

³³ Of Merari was the family of Mahli and the family of Mushi; these are the families of Merari. ³⁴ And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred; ³⁵ and the prince of the house of the father of the families of Merari, Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle to the Aquilon.

¹ A Psalm of David. ¶ The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ² The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion; rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ³ Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauty of holiness; as the dew which falls from the womb of the morning, thus shall those who are thine be born unto thee. ⁴ The LORD has sworn and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. ⁵ ¶ The Lord at thy right hand shall smite the kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He shall judge among the Gentiles; he shall fill their places with dead bodies; he shall wound the head over much of the earth. ⁷ He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore he shall lift up his head.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, charity, tolerance, meekness. ¹² Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, unto which thou art also called, having made a good profession before many witnesses.

⁴ No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith; ⁸ from now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but unto all those also that have loved his appearing.

¹⁵ ¶ And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of cedar wood standing up.

³⁶ And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and the sockets thereof and all the instruments thereof, with all its service, ³⁷ and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their stakes and their cords.

⁸ and four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according to their ministry, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹ But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none; because the ministry of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.

¹⁷ And the sockets for the pillars were of brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets of silver and the coverings of their heads of silver; likewise all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.

²¹ ¶ This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the ministry of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

¹ ¶ And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle and had anointed it and sanctified it with all its vessels; likewise having anointed and sanctified the altar, with all its vessels;

²⁸ This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the testimony, and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

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

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

³⁹ from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony,

⁴³ from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony,

²⁶ And also unto the Levites, they shall no longer carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its ministry. ²⁷ For by the last words of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above.

¹³ also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the ministry of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of ministry of the house of the LORD.

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

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

¹³ No temptation has taken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; ⁹ to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ¹⁰ to another, the operation of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own gift as he wills. ¹² ¶ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ.

⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather glory in my weaknesses that the power of Christ may dwell in me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am content in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake, for when I am weak, then am I strong.

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

²³ from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them, all that enter in to the host to do work in the tabernacle of the testimony. ²⁴ This shall be the service of the families of Gershon, to minister and to bear burdens:

³⁷ These were the numbered of the families of Kohath, all that minister in the tabernacle of the testimony, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

⁶ So that having different gifts according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, according to the measure of faith; ⁷ or ministry, in serving; or he that teaches, in doctrine; ⁸ he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, let him do it in simplicity; he that presides, in earnest care; he that shows mercy, in cheerfulness.

⁴ Now there is dispersal of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there is dispersal of ministries, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there is dispersal of operations, but it is the same God who works all in each one. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one to profit with. ⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; ⁹ to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ¹⁰ to another, the operation of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own gift as he wills. ¹² ¶ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ. ¹³ For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Greeks, whether we are slaves or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot shall say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear shall say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? ¹⁸ But now God has set the members each one of them in the body, as it has pleased him. ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now they are indeed many members, yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ²² For those members of the body, which seem to be weaker, are much more necessary; ²³ and those members of the body which we think to be more vile, these we dress with more abundant honour; and those in us who are more indecent have more honesty. ²⁴ For those in us who are more honest need nothing, but God has ordered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that one which lacked, ²⁵ that there should be no contradiction in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. ²⁶ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice together. ²⁷ ¶ Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular. ²⁸ And God did set certain ones in the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}: first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that faculties, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? do all have faculties? ³⁰ Do all have gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? ³¹ But earnestly pursue the best gifts, and yet I show unto you a more excellent way.

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

¹⁴ because narrow is the gate, and confined is the way which leads unto life, and there are few that find it.

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

¹⁵ ¶ Then the Pharisees left and took counsel how they might entangle him in his word.

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

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

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

⁵¹ And Moses gave the money of the ransoms unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²¹ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

³¹ And this shall be the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the testimony: the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and sockets thereof,

⁴¹ These were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all that minister in the tabernacle of the testimony, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD.

⁴⁵ These were those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

² And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD, ³ and shall make him of quick olfaction in the fear of the LORD; and he shall not judge according to the sight of his eyes, neither reprove according to the hearing of his ears: ⁴ But with righteousness shall he judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the spirit of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

¹ ¶ Behold my slave, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall give judgment unto the Gentiles. ² He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streets. ³ He shall not break a bruised reed, nor shall he quench the smoking flax; he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. ⁴ He shall not tire nor faint until he has set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law. ⁵ ¶ Thus saith God the LORD, the Creator of the heavens and he that stretches them out; he that spreads forth the earth and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath unto the people upon it and spirit to those that walk therein: ⁶ I the LORD have called thee in righteousness and will hold thee by thine hand; I will keep thee and place thee as my covenant unto the people as light unto the Gentiles ⁷ that thou might open the eyes of the blind, that thou might bring out the prisoners from the prison and those that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

¹ ¶ Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken, ye peoples, from far, The LORD has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother he has remembered my name. ² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; with the shadow of his hand he has covered me, and made me a clean arrow; in his quiver he has kept me. ³ And he said unto me, Thou art my slave, O Israel; in thee I will glory. ⁴ But I said, I have laboured in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing, and in vain; yet surely my judgment is before the LORD and my recompense with my God. ⁵ And now, saith the LORD, he that formed me from the womb to be his slave, so that Jacob might be converted unto him. But if Israel will not be gathered, even so, yet I shall be esteemed in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. ⁶ And he said, It is a light thing that thou should be my slave to wake up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the desolations of Israel; I have also given thee for a light to the Gentiles that thou may be my saving health unto the end of the earth. ⁷ ¶ Thus has the LORD said, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the Gentiles abhor, to the slave of the tyrants, Kings shall see and be raised up as princes and shall worship because of the LORD, for faithful is the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee. ⁸ Thus has the LORD said, In an acceptable time I have heard thee, and in the day of saving health I have helped thee; and I will preserve thee and give thee for a covenant of people, that thou might awaken the earth, that thou might inherit the desolate heritages;

⁴ For in the manner that we have many members in one body, nevertheless all the members do not have the same operation; ⁵ likewise many of us are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
