³¹ "And you will make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand will be made of hammered work—its base and its branch,* its cups, its buds, and its blossoms will be from it. ³² And six branches will be going out from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its second side. ³³ Three almond-flower cups will be on the one branch with a bud and a blossom, and three almond-flower cups will be on the one branch with a bud and a blossom—likewise for the six branches going out from the lampstand. ³⁴ And on the lampstand will be four almond-flower cups, with its buds and its blossoms. ³⁵ And a bud will be under the two branches that come from it, and a bud under the two branches from it, and a bud under the two branches from it, likewise for the six branches coming out from the lampstand. ³⁶ Their buds and their branches will be from it, all of it one piece of pure gold hammered work. ³⁷ And you will make its seven lamps, and its lamps will be set up, and it will give light _⌊in the space in front of it_⌋.* ³⁸ And its snuffers and its fire pans will be pure gold. ³⁹ It will be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these pieces of equipment.

³ Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.

¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city located on top of a hill cannot be hidden, ¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp and place it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house.

¹ "And you will make an altar for burning incense; you will make it of acacia wood, ² a cubit its length and a cubit its width—it will be square—and two cubits its height, its horns _⌊of one piece with it_⌋.* ³ And you will overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around and its horns, and you will make for it a gold molding all around. ⁴ And you will make two gold rings for it; under its molding _⌊on two opposite sides_⌋* you will make them as _⌊holders_⌋* for poles to carry it with them. ⁵ You will make the poles of acacia wood, and you will overlay them with gold. ⁶ And you will put it before the curtain that is upon the ark of the testimony, before the atonement cover, which is on the testimony, there where I will meet with you. ⁷ "And on it Aaron will turn fragrant incense into smoke; _⌊each morning_⌋* when he tends the lamps, he will turn it into smoke. ⁸ And when Aaron sets up the lamps _⌊at twilight_⌋,* he will turn it into smoke—incense of continuity—before Yahweh throughout your generations. ⁹ You will not offer on it strange incense or a burnt offering or a grain offering, and you will not pour a libation on it. ¹⁰ And Aaron will make atonement on its horns one time in the year from the blood of the sin offering of the atonement; one time in the year he will make atonement on it throughout your generations; it is a most holy thing for Yahweh."

²² And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²³ "And take for yourself top quality balsam oils, five hundred shekels of flowing myrrh, half as much—two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant reed, ²⁴ and five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the sanctuary shekel, and a hin of olive oil. ²⁵ And you will make it into holy anointing oil, a spice blend of a fragrant ointment the work of a perfumer; it will be holy anointing oil. ²⁶ And you will anoint with it the tent of assembly and the ark of the testimony, ²⁷ and the table and all its equipment and the lampstand and its equipment and the incense altar, ²⁸ and the altar of burnt offering and all its equipment and the basin and its stand. ²⁹ And you will consecrate them, and they will be most holy things; _⌊anyone who_⌋* touches them will be holy. ³⁰ And you will anoint Aaron and his sons, and you will consecrate them to serve as priests for me. ³¹ "And you will speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'This will be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. ³² It will not be poured on human flesh, and with its measurements* you will not make any like it; it is holy; it will be holy to you. ³³ Anyone who compounds perfume like it and who puts it on a stranger will be cut off from his people.'" ³⁴ And Yahweh said to Moses, "Take for yourself fragrant perfumes—stacte resin and onycha and galbanum—fragrant perfumes and pure frankincense, _⌊an equal part of each_⌋,* ³⁵ and make it into a compound of incense, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, holy. ³⁶ And you will grind part of it to powder, and you will put part of it before the testimony in the tent of assembly where I will meet with you; it will be a most holy thing to you. ³⁷ And the incense that you will make with its measurements* you will not make for yourselves; it will be holy to you for Yahweh. ³⁸ Anyone who makes any like it to smell it will be cut off from his people."

³⁷ And he made for the entrance of the tent a screen of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, ³⁸ and the five pillars and their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their connections with gold, and their five bases were bronze.

²⁵ And he made the incense altar of acacia wood, a cubit its length and a cubit its width—a square—and two cubits its height; its horns were _⌊of one piece with it_⌋.* ²⁶ And he overlaid it with pure gold—its top and its sides all around and its horns—and he made for it a gold molding all around. ²⁷ And he made for it two gold rings under its molding _⌊on two opposite sides_⌋* as _⌊holders_⌋* for poles to carry it with them. ²⁸ And he made the poles of acacia wood, and he overlaid them with gold.

² Let my prayer be set before you as incense, the lifting up of my palms as the evening offering.

As it was shown you on the mountain, so they will do.

¹⁸ "And you will make a basin of bronze and its bronze stand for washing, and you will put it between the tent of assembly and the altar, and you will put water there. ¹⁹ And Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and their feet with it. ²⁰ When they come to the tent of assembly, they will wash with water so that they do not die, or when they approach the altar to serve by turning to smoke an offering made by fire to Yahweh. ²¹ And they will wash their hands and their feet so that they do not die, and it will be a lasting rule for them—to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.

¹ And he made the burnt-offering altar of acacia wood; its length was five cubits, and its width was five cubits—it was square—and its height was three cubits. ² And he made its horns on its four corners; its horns were _⌊of one piece with it_⌋;* and he overlaid it with bronze. ³ And he made all the equipment of the altar—the pots and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls and the forks* and the fire pans—all its equipment he made with bronze. ⁴ And he made for the altar a grating, a work of bronze network under its ledge, below, up to its middle. ⁵ And he cast four rings on the four ends of the bronze grating as _⌊holders_⌋* for the poles. ⁶ And he made the poles of acacia wood, and he overlaid them with bronze. ⁷ And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow with boards. ⁸ And he made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze from the mirrors of the serving women who served at the entrance of the tent of assembly.

⁹ "You will make the courtyard of the tabernacle; for the _⌊south_⌋* side will be hangings for the courtyard of finely twisted linen, one hundred cubits long for the one side. ¹⁰ And its twenty pillars and their twenty bases will be bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands will be silver. ¹¹ And likewise for the north side along the length will be hangings one hundred cubits long; and its twenty pillars and their bases will be bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands will be silver. ¹² And the width of the courtyard for the west* side will be hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars and their ten bases. ¹³ And the width of the courtyard for the east side, toward sunrise, will be fifty cubits. ¹⁴ And hangings for the shoulder* will be fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three bases. ¹⁵ And fifteen cubits of hangings will be for the second shoulder* with their three pillars and their three bases. ¹⁶ And for the gate of the courtyard there will be a screen of twenty cubits of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer; with their four pillars and their four bases. ¹⁷ "All the pillars of the courtyard all around will be banded with silver, and their hooks will be silver, and their bases will be bronze. ¹⁸ The length of the courtyard will be one hundred cubits and the width fifty cubits* and the height five cubits, of finely twisted linen, with their bronze bases. ¹⁹ Bronze will be for all the equipment of the tabernacle in all its service and all its _⌊pegs_⌋* and all the _⌊pegs_⌋* of the courtyard.

² And the king said to Nathan the prophet, "Look, please, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle of the tent."

¹⁹ Bronze will be for all the equipment of the tabernacle in all its service and all its _⌊pegs_⌋* and all the _⌊pegs_⌋* of the courtyard.

¹ "And bring near to you Aaron, your brother, and his sons with him from the midst of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* to serve as priests for me—Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron. ² And you will make holy garments* for Aaron, your brother, for glory and for splendor.* ³ And you will speak to all the skilled of heart, whom I have given _⌊a gift of skill_⌋,* and they will make the garments of Aaron to consecrate him for his serving as my priest. ⁴ And these are the garments that they will make: A breast piece and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of specially woven fabric,* a turban and a sash.

⁴¹ the woven garments for serving in the sanctuary—the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.

⁵ When setting out the camp, Aaron and his sons will go and lower the curtain of the covering and cover with it the ark of the testimony.* ⁶ They will put on it a covering of _⌊fine leather_⌋,* and they will spread a cloth of perfect blue over it, and they will place its poles. ⁷ And over the table of the presence they will spread out a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes, and libation bowls, and the pitchers of the libation; and the bread of continuity will be on it. ⁸ They will spread over it a scarlet cloth, and they will cover it with a covering of _⌊fine leather_⌋,* and they will place its poles. ⁹ They will take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand for the light source, its lamps, a pair of its tongs, its small pans, and all the vessels of its oil with which they attend to it. ¹⁰ They will put it and all its vessels inside a covering of _⌊fine leather_⌋* and put it on the carrying frame. ¹¹ Over the altar of gold they will spread a blue cloth, and they will cover it with a covering of _⌊fine leather_⌋* and place its poles. ¹² They will take all the vessels of the cultic service with which they serve in the sanctuary and put them on a blue cloth, and they will cover them with a covering of _⌊fine leather_⌋;* and they will put them on the carrying frame. ¹³ They will remove the fat-soaked ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it; ¹⁴ they will put on it all the vessels with which they serve, the fire pans, forks, shovels, and bowls—all the vessels of the altar. They will spread on it a covering of _⌊fine leather_⌋;* and they will place its poles. ¹⁵ And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the vessels of the sanctuary when the camp sets out, the descendants* of Kohath will come after to carry these, but they must not touch the sanctuary, or they will die. These are the load of the descendants* of Kohath in the tent of assembly.

² "Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* and let them bring to me a contribution. You will receive my contribution from every man whose heart prompts him.

⁵ 'Take from among you a contribution for Yahweh, anyone willing of heart, let him bring Yahweh's contribution—gold and silver and bronze,

²² And they came, the men in addition to the women, all who were willing of heart; they brought brooches and jewelry rings and signet rings and ornaments—every variety of gold object—every man who waved a wave offering of gold for Yahweh,

²⁶ And all the women whose heart lifted them with skill spun the goat hair.

²⁹ Every man and woman whose heart impelled them to bring for all the work to be done that Yahweh had commanded _⌊by the agency of_⌋* Moses—the _⌊Israelites_⌋* brought freely to Yahweh.

² And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it.

³ Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to Yahweh; I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

¹² "Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.

²⁷ For you, O Yahweh of hosts, are God of Israel! You have revealed to the ear of your servant, 'I will build a house for you'; therefore your servant _⌊has found courage_⌋* to pray this prayer to you.

² And King David rose to his feet and said, "Listen to me, my brothers and my people. _⌊I myself wanted_⌋* to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build.

⁹ "And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and a willing mind, for Yahweh searches all hearts and understands every plan and all thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you abandon him, he will reject you forever.

³ And moreover, with respect to my provisions for the house of my God I have a treasure of gold and silver that I have given to the house of my God above all that I have provided for the holy house:

⁵ gold for the golden things and silver for the silver things, for all the work by the hand of skilled craftsmen. Now who will offer willingly, _⌊consecrating himself_⌋* today to Yahweh?" ⁶ Then the commanders of the _⌊families_⌋,* the commanders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the work of the king offered themselves willingly.

⁹ And the people rejoiced over their freewill offering, for with a whole heart they had willingly offered to Yahweh, and King David also rejoiced with great joy.

¹⁴ And indeed, who am I, and who are my people that we retain power to offer according to these offerings willingly? For everything is from you, and from your hand we have given to you.

¹⁷ And I know, my God, that you yourself test the heart and are pleased with uprightness. I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these things, and now I have seen your people who are found here willingly offer to you. ¹⁸ O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors,* keep this forever as a plan and thoughts of the heart of your people, and establish their heart toward you.

⁵ So the heads of the _⌊families_⌋* for Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites—to all whose spirit God had stirred—prepared to go up and build the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem. ⁶ And all of their neighbors _⌊helped them_⌋* with objects of silver, gold, possessions, domestic animals, and with valuable gifts—besides all of the freewill offering.

²⁷ Blessed be Yahweh the God of our ancestors,* who put this in the heart of the king to glorify the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem

²³ With all vigilance, keep your heart, for from it comes the source* of life.

²¹ And their noble will be from them, and their ruler will come out from their midst. And I will bring him near and he will approach me. For who is he that would pledge his heart to approach me?' _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh.

³⁴ Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things when you* are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

¹² For if the eagerness is present _⌊according to what one has_⌋*, it is acceptable not _⌊according to what one does not have_⌋*.

³ And all the people took off the rings of gold that were on their ears and brought it to Aaron.

⁵⁰ So we brought the offering of Yahweh, what each man found, objects of gold, bangles,* bracelets,* rings,* earrings,* and female ornaments,* to make atonement for ourselves _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh."

⁶ Then the commanders of the _⌊families_⌋,* the commanders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the work of the king offered themselves willingly. ⁷ And they gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

⁹ And _⌊they issued a proclamation_⌋* in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring to Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God had levied upon Israel in the wilderness. ¹⁰ And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and they brought their tax and threw it into the chest until it was finished. ¹¹ And whenever he brought the chest to the appointee of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money in it, then the secretary of the king and the officer of the chief priest came and emptied the chest, then they took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day and gathered money in abundance. ¹² And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh. And they hired stonemasons and skilled craftsmen to restore the house of Yahweh, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of Yahweh. ¹³ So those doing the work labored, and the restoration for the work made progress under their hand. And they restored the house of God to its position and strengthened it. ¹⁴ And when they had finished, they brought the remainder of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and they used it for objects for the house of Yahweh, objects for the service and the burnt offerings, dishes, and objects of gold and silver. And they were offering burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh regularly, all the days of Jehoiada.

⁶⁸ When some of the heads of _⌊families_⌋* came to the house of Yahweh that is in Jerusalem, they gave freewill offerings for the house of God to erect it on its place. ⁶⁹ According to their ability they gave to the treasury room for the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly tunics.

⁷⁰ Now some from the heads of the _⌊families_⌋* gave to the work. The governor gave to the storehouse one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly tunics. ⁷¹ Now some of the heads of the _⌊families_⌋* gave to the storehouse of the work twenty thousand gold darics and two thousand two hundred silver minas. ⁷² And what the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly tunics.

¹⁹ the pendants and the bracelets and the veils,

⁹ Because the coastlands wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish are first to bring your children from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the holy one of Israel, because he has glorified you.

¹³ The glory of Lebanon shall come to you; the cypress, the plane, and the pine together, to glorify the place of my sanctuary, and I will do honor to the place of my feet.

¹¹ And I adorned you with ornaments,* and I put a bracelet on your arms and a necklace on your neck.

¹¹ And when they* came into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and* worshiped him. And opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

⁶ and blue and purple and crimson yarns, and fine linen and goat hair, ⁷ and red-dyed ram skins, and fine leather,* and acacia wood, ⁸ and oil for the lamp, balsam oils for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, ⁹ onyx stones and stones for mountings on the ephod and the breast piece. ¹⁰ "And let all the skilled of heart among you come and make all that Yahweh has commanded:

⁸ And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of Yahweh under the authority* of Jehiel the Gershonite.

³ And you will speak to all the skilled of heart, whom I have given _⌊a gift of skill_⌋,* and they will make the garments of Aaron to consecrate him for his serving as my priest.

⁶ And, look, I have given with him Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, and I have put skill in the heart of all the skilled of heart, and they will make all that I have commanded you—

¹ And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone who is skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary—they will do it, according to all that Yahweh has commanded."

⁷ He tore down the shrines of the male shrine prostitutes which were in the temple of Yahweh, where the women were weaving shrines for the Asherah.

¹ The _⌊wisest of women_⌋* builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her hands.

¹⁹ Her hands she puts onto the distaff,* and her palms hold a spindle. ²⁰ Her palm she opens to the poor, and her hand she reaches out to the needy. ²¹ She does not fear for her house when it snows, for _⌊her entire household_⌋* is clothed in crimson. ²² She makes for herself coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple. ²³ Her husband* is known at the gates, in his seat among the elders of the land. ²⁴ Linen garments she makes and sells, and she supplies sashes for the merchants.

² and some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's household manager), and Susanna, and many others who were helping to support them from their possessions.

³⁹ So Peter got up and* accompanied them. When he* arrived, they brought him* up to the upstairs room, and all the widows came to him, weeping and showing him* tunics and other clothing that Dorcas used to make while she* was with them.

¹ Now I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is also a servant* of the church in Cenchrea, ² in order that you may welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever task she may have need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, even me myself. ³ Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, ⁴ who risked their own necks for my life, for which not only I am thankful, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;

⁶ Greet Mary, who _⌊has worked hard_⌋* for you.

¹² Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, the laborers in the Lord. Greet Persis, the dear friend who _⌊has worked hard_⌋* in the Lord.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

³ Yes, I ask also you, true yokefellow, help them, who struggled along with me in the gospel with both Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.

²¹ And they came—every man whose heart lifted him and every man whose spirit impelled him—they brought Yahweh's contribution for the work of the tent of assembly and for all its service and for the holy garments.

⁸ And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman.

⁹ onyx stones and stones for mountings on the ephod and the breast piece.

⁶ Then the commanders of the _⌊families_⌋,* the commanders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the work of the king offered themselves willingly.

⁶⁸ When some of the heads of _⌊families_⌋* came to the house of Yahweh that is in Jerusalem, they gave freewill offerings for the house of God to erect it on its place.

⁸ and oil for the lamp, balsam oils for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

⁴ And Moses said to all the community of the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, "This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying,

²¹ And they came—every man whose heart lifted him and every man whose spirit impelled him—they brought Yahweh's contribution for the work of the tent of assembly and for all its service and for the holy garments. ²² And they came, the men in addition to the women, all who were willing of heart; they brought brooches and jewelry rings and signet rings and ornaments—every variety of gold object—every man who waved a wave offering of gold for Yahweh,

³ And they took from Moses all the contributions* that the _⌊Israelites_⌋* had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings _⌊every morning_⌋.*

² You must not add to the word that I am commanding you, and you shall not take away from it in order to keep* the commands of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you to observe.

³² and you must diligently _⌊observe_⌋* all the rules and the regulations that I am setting _⌊before you_⌋* _⌊today_⌋."*

³² * All of the things* that I am commanding you, _⌊you must diligently observe_⌋;* you shall not add to it, and you shall not take away from it."

² "When long hair hangs loosely in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless Yahweh!

⁹ And the people rejoiced over their freewill offering, for with a whole heart they had willingly offered to Yahweh, and King David also rejoiced with great joy. ¹⁰ Then David blessed Yahweh in the sight of all the assembly, and David said, "Blessed are you, O Yahweh, God of Israel, our father forever and ever!

¹⁷ And I know, my God, that you yourself test the heart and are pleased with uprightness. I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these things, and now I have seen your people who are found here willingly offer to you.

⁵ Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave.

¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if I do so unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

¹⁶ And all those who follow this rule, peace and mercy be on them and on the Israel of God.

¹⁵ and that from childhood you have known the holy writings that are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ in order that the person of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

¹⁹ and we possess as more reliable the prophetic word, to which you do well if you* pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,

¹³ King Solomon invited and received Hiram from Tyre. ¹⁴ He was the son of a widow woman from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, an artisan of bronze. He was filled with wisdom and with ability and with the knowledge to do all the work with the bronze. And he came to King Solomon, and he did all of his work.

²⁶ And his God instructs him about the prescription;* he teaches him.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon it.

⁴ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,

¹¹ But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change.

¹⁴ a son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, knowledgeable for working with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and with purple, blue, and crimson fabric, and with fine linen, for engraving any engraving and devising any plan that is given to him, with your skilled men and the skilled men of my lord David your father.

² And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him— a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh. ³ And his _⌊breath_⌋* is in the fear of Yahweh. And he shall judge not by his eyesight, and he shall rebuke not by _⌊what he hears with_⌋* his ears. ⁴ But he shall judge the poor with righteousness, and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude. And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips. ⁵ And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me, because Yahweh has anointed me, he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up _⌊the brokenhearted_⌋,* to _⌊proclaim_⌋* release to the captives and liberation to those who are bound, ² to _⌊proclaim_⌋* the year of Yahweh's favor, and our God's day of vengeance, to comfort all those in mourning, ³ to _⌊give_⌋* for those in mourning in Zion, to give them a head wrap instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit. And _⌊they will be called_⌋* oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.

⁴ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit, ⁵ and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord, ⁶ and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all things in all people. ⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all. ⁸ For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit, ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another* gifts of healing by the one Spirit, ¹⁰ to another* _⌊miraculous powers_⌋*, to another* prophecy, to another* distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another* interpretation of tongues.

³ in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

¹⁰ For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Yahweh, to do it, and to teach the regulations and judgments in Israel.

¹² I got up during the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anybody what my God put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. No animal was with me except the animal that I was riding on.

²⁴ Is it all day that the plowman plows, opens to sow seed, harrows his ground? ²⁵ When he has leveled its _⌊surface_⌋,* does he not scatter dill, and sow cumin seed, and _⌊plant_⌋* wheat in planted rows,* and barley in an appointed place, and spelt grain as its border? ²⁶ And his God instructs him about the prescription;* he teaches him. ²⁷ For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a wheel of a utility cart _⌊rolled_⌋* over cumin, but dill is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod. ²⁸ Grain is crushed fine, but certainly one does not thresh it forever; and one drives the wheel of his cart, but his horses do not crush it. ²⁹ This also comes forth from Yahweh of hosts.
He is wonderful in advice; he makes great wisdom.

⁵ that* in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge, ⁶ just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you, ⁷ so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift as you* eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all.

¹⁶ Do not be deceived, my dear brothers. ¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change.

³ And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with skill* and with knowledge and with every kind of craftsmanship,

³¹ And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with skill* and with knowledge and with every kind of craftsmanship,

¹² behold, I do hereby do according to your word. I hereby give you a wise and discerning heart; there was no one like you before you, nor afterwards will one like you arise.

¹⁴ He was the son of a widow woman from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, an artisan of bronze. He was filled with wisdom and with ability and with the knowledge to do all the work with the bronze. And he came to King Solomon, and he did all of his work.

⁶ "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end _⌊without hope_⌋.*

¹² My dwelling place is pulled up and removed from me like the tent of my shepherd; I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He cuts me off from the thrum; from day to night you bring me to an end.

⁶ And when* Paul laid hands* on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they began to speak* in tongues and to prophesy.

⁸ So he entered into the synagogue and* was speaking boldly for three months, discussing and attempting to convince* them* concerning* the kingdom of God.

⁵ that* in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge,

⁷ so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift as you* eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁸ For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit,

¹² For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they* are many, are one body, thus also Christ.

² I want only to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

⁵ Therefore does the one who gives you the Spirit and who works miracles among you do so by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

¹⁵ But if I am delayed, I am writing* in order that you may know how one must conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and mainstay* of the truth.

¹⁶ Fix your attention on yourself and on your teaching. Continue in them, for by* doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

¹⁵ Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, a worker having no need to be ashamed, guiding the word of truth along a straight path.
