¹⁵ And he cast two pillars of bronze,––eighteen cubits, the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, would surround the second pillar. ¹⁶ And, two capitals, made he, to set upon the tops of the pillars, of molten bronze,––five cubits, was the height of the one capital, and, five cubits, the height of the other capital; ¹⁷ with a frame of checker work, wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars,––seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital. ¹⁸ So he made the pillars,––and, two rows round about, upon the one frame of checker work, covering the capitals which were upon the top with pomegranates, thus also, did he for the other capital. ¹⁹ And, the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in span, four cubits.

¹⁹ And, the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in span, four cubits. ²⁰ And there were capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close by the belly, which was beside the checker work,––and there were two hundred pomegranates, in rows round about, upon either capital.

²⁰ And there were capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close by the belly, which was beside the checker work,––and there were two hundred pomegranates, in rows round about, upon either capital. ²¹ So he reared the pillars for the porch of the temple,––yea he reared the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin, and reared the left pillar, and called the name thereof, Boaz.

²¹ So he reared the pillars for the porch of the temple,––yea he reared the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin, and reared the left pillar, and called the name thereof, Boaz. ²² And, upon the top of the pillars, was lily work,––which gave finish to the work of the pillars.

²² And, upon the top of the pillars, was lily work,––which gave finish to the work of the pillars. ²³ And he made a molten sea,––ten cubits from the one brim to the other, it was round all about, and, five cubits, was the height thereof, and, a line of thirty cubits, would encompass it round about.

²⁵ standing upon twelve oxen, three looking northward, and three looking westward, and three looking southward, and three looking eastward, the sea, being upon them above,––all their hinder parts, being, inward.

²⁸ And, this, was the work of the stand, there were, side walls, to them,––and, the side–walls, were between joining ledges; ²⁹ and, upon the side–walls which were between the ledges, were lions, oxen, and cherubim, and, upon the ledges, was a pedestal above, and, beneath the lions and oxen, a wreath of hanging work.

³⁸ Then made he ten lavers of bronze,––forty baths, would each laver contain, four cubits, was each laver, one laver, was on each of, the ten stands.

⁴⁰ And Hiram made lavers, and shovels, and bowls,––and Hiram ended the doing of all the work which he wrought for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh: ⁴¹ two pillars,––and the bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the two pillars,––and the two frames of checker–work, covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were upon the top of the pillars; ⁴² and the four hundred pomegranates, for the two frames of checker–work,––two rows of pomegranates to each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;

¹⁰ And it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses,––the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king;

¹⁹ also all the store cities, which Solomon had, and the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen,––and the desire of Solomon that he was pleased to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land that he ruled over.

²⁴ Scarcely had Pharaoh’s daughter come up out of the city of David, into her own house, which he had built for her, when he built Millo.

¹⁷ and three hundred bucklers, of beaten gold, one hundred and fifty shekels of gold, laid he upon one buckler,––and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. ¹⁸ And the king made a great throne of ivory,––and overlaid it with gold from Uphaz. ¹⁹ There were, six steps, to the throne, and there was, a circular top, to the throne, behind it, and there were supports on this side and on that, unto the place of the seat,––with two lions standing beside the supports; ²⁰ and, twelve lions, were standing there, upon the six steps, on this side and on that,––there had never been made the like, for any of the kingdoms. ²¹ And, all the drinking vessels of King Solomon, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of pure gold,––none was of silver, it was accounted in the days of Solomon, as nothing.

¹⁷ And King Ahaz cut off the side walls of the stands, and took away from off them the laver, and, the sea, took he down from off the oxen of bronze, which were under it,––and set it on a pavement of stones.

⁴ And it came to pass that Isaiah, had not gone out into the middle court, when the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying:

¹³ And, the pillars of bronze that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans brake in pieces, and they carried away the bronze of them to Babylon; ¹⁴ and, the caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away; ¹⁵ and, the sprinkling pans and the dashing bowls which were of gold, in gold, and which were of silver, in silver, did, the chief of the royal executions, take away. ¹⁶ As for the two pillars the one sea and the stands which Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things.

¹⁶ As for the two pillars the one sea and the stands which Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things. ¹⁷ Eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, the capital thereupon was of bronze, and, the height of the capital, was three cubits, and, the lattice–work and pomegranates upon the capital round about, the whole, was of bronze; and, like these, had the second pillar, upon the lattice–work.

¹⁷ Eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, the capital thereupon was of bronze, and, the height of the capital, was three cubits, and, the lattice–work and pomegranates upon the capital round about, the whole, was of bronze; and, like these, had the second pillar, upon the lattice–work.

⁷ And David took the shields of gold, that were upon the servants of Hadarezer,––and brought them to Jerusalem; ⁸ also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze,––therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

⁸ also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze,––therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

¹⁰ he sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had made war against Hadarezer and had smitten him, for, a man making wars against Tou, had been Hadarezer,––and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze; ¹¹ them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations,––from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

³ and, iron in abundance, for nails for the doors of the gates, and for hooks, did David prepare,––and bronze in abundance, without weight;

¹⁴ Lo! then, in my humiliation, have I prepared for the house of Yahweh, of gold a hundred thousand talents, and of silver a thousand thousand talents, and, as for bronze and iron, without weight, for, an abundance, hath it become,––timber also and stone, have I prepared, and, thereunto, thou canst add.

¹⁶ for gold and for silver and for bronze and for iron, without number. Arise and do, and Yahweh be with thee!

²⁶ The same Shelomoth and his brethren, were over all the treasuries of the hallowed things, which David the king and the ancestral chiefs, with the captains of thousands and hundreds and the captains of the army, had hallowed: ²⁷ out of the battles and out of the spoil, had they hallowed [them], ––to strengthen [the provision] for the house of Yahweh. ²⁸ And, all that Samuel the seer, and Saul son of Kish, and Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, had hallowed, whosoever had hallowed anything, it was under the direction of Shelomoth, and his brethren.

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

² And, with all my might, have I made preparation for the house of my God, the gold for the gold, and the silver for the silver, and the bronze for the bronze, the iron for the iron, and the wood for the wood,––and beryl stones and settings, stones coloured and particoloured, and all manner of precious stones and stones of white marble, in abundance. ³ And yet further, because of my delighting in the house of my God, having a treasure of mine own in gold and silver, I have given for the house of my God, above and beyond all that I have prepared for the holy house: ⁴ three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir,––and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the recesses. ⁵ Of gold for the gold, and of silver for the silver, and for all manner of work in the hand of artificers,––Who then is ready to offer willingly, by filling his hand today, unto Yahweh? ⁶ Then offered they willingly––the ancestral rulers and the rulers of the tribes of Israel, and the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even to the rulers of the work of the king; ⁷ and gave for the service of the house of God, of gold, five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and, of silver, ten thousand talents, and, of bronze, eighteen thousand talents,––and, of iron, one hundred thousand talents. ⁸ And, every one with whom were found precious stones, gave to the treasure of the house of Yahweh,––unto the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

¹³ Now, therefore, have I sent a wise man, skilled in understanding, pertaining to Huram my father: ¹⁴ son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, skilled to work in gold and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones and in timber, in purple, in blue and in fine white linen, and in crimson, and to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any manner of device that may be given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy father.

¹⁵ And he made, for the front of the house, two pillars, thirty five cubits in length,––and, the capital which was upon the top of each, was five cubits. ¹⁶ And he made wreathen chains in the shrine, and put them upon the top of the pillars,––and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them in the chains,

¹⁶ And he made wreathen chains in the shrine, and put them upon the top of the pillars,––and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them in the chains, ¹⁷ And he reared up the pillars in front of the temple, one, on the right, and, one, on the left,––and called the name of that on the right hand, Jachin, and the name of that on the left, Boaz.

¹⁷ And he reared up the pillars in front of the temple, one, on the right, and, one, on the left,––and called the name of that on the right hand, Jachin, and the name of that on the left, Boaz.

² And he made a molten sea,––ten––by the cubit, from the one brim thereof into the other brim thereof, it was round all about, and, five––by the cubit, was the height thereof, and, a line––of thirty by the cubit, did compass it round about. ³ And, the likeness of oxen, was under it round about on every side, encircling it, ten in a cubit, going round the sea, on every side,–two rows of oxen, made in the casting. ⁴ It was standing on twelve oxen, three, looking toward the north, and, three, looking toward the west, and, three, looking toward the south, and, three, looking toward the east, the sea, being upon them above,––and, all their hinder parts, inward. ⁵ And, the thickness thereof, was a hand–breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim–work of a cup, with blossoms of lilies,––it could hold [many] baths, three thousand, would it contain.

⁵ And, the thickness thereof, was a hand–breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim–work of a cup, with blossoms of lilies,––it could hold [many] baths, three thousand, would it contain. ⁶ And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand––and five on the left, to bathe therein, what is offered as an ascending–sacrifice, do they rinse therein,––but, the sea, was, that the priests should bathe therein.

⁶ And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand––and five on the left, to bathe therein, what is offered as an ascending–sacrifice, do they rinse therein,––but, the sea, was, that the priests should bathe therein. ⁷ And he made ten lampstands of gold according to the regulation thereof,––and set in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left.

⁷ And he made ten lampstands of gold according to the regulation thereof,––and set in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left. ⁸ And he made ten tables, and placed in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left,––and he made a hundred tossing bowls of gold.

⁸ And he made ten tables, and placed in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left,––and he made a hundred tossing bowls of gold. ⁹ And he made the court of the priests, and the large enclosure,––and doors to the enclosure, and, the doors thereof, overlaid he with bronze. ¹⁰ And, the sea, he set on the right side of the house, eastward over against the south.

¹⁰ And, the sea, he set on the right side of the house, eastward over against the south.
¹¹ And Huram made––the pans, and the shovels, and the tossing bowls,––and Huram finished doing the work, which he did for King Solomon, in the house of God:––

¹⁷ In the circuit of the Jordan, did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. ¹⁸ So Solomon made all these utensils, in great abundance,––for the weight of the bronze could not be searched out.

¹⁸ So Solomon made all these utensils, in great abundance,––for the weight of the bronze could not be searched out. ¹⁹ Yea Solomon made all the utensils which were for the house of God,––and the altar of gold, and the rubles, whereon was the Presence–bread;

¹⁹ Yea Solomon made all the utensils which were for the house of God,––and the altar of gold, and the rubles, whereon was the Presence–bread; ²⁰ and the lamp–holders and their lamps, that they should burn according to the regulation before the shrine, of purified gold;

²⁰ and the lamp–holders and their lamps, that they should burn according to the regulation before the shrine, of purified gold; ²¹ and the blossom–work, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold,––the same, was the purest gold; ²² and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the censers, of purified gold,––and the entrance of the house, the inner doors thereof for the holy of holies, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

¹ Thus was perfected, all the work, which Solomon made, for the house of Yahweh,––and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father, the silver, and the gold, and all the utensils, placed he, in the treasuries of the house of God.

¹ And it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house,

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

¹⁶ also three hundred bucklers of beaten gold, three hundred [shekels] of gold, overlay one buckler,––and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁵ And this house was finished, by the third day of the month Adar,––the which was the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

⁵ For there are set––Thrones for justice, Thrones for the house David.

⁸ A king sitting on the throne of judgment, scattereth, with his eyes, all wrong.

⁴ I enlarged my works,––I built me houses, I planted me vineyards; ⁵ I made me gardens, and parks,––I planted in them trees of every kind of fruit;

⁴ Thy neck, is like a tower of ivory,––Thine eyes, are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath–rabbim, Thy nose, is like the tower of Lebanon, which looketh towards Damascus:

⁷ Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end––Upon the throne of David, and, Upon his kingdom, By establishing it, and, By sustaining it, With justice, and, With righteousness,––From henceforth, Even unto times age–abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!

¹⁶ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! founding in Zion, a stone, A stone of testing, The costly corner of a well–laid foundation, He that trusteth, shall not make haste!

²⁶ Yea, One hath trained him to good judgment, His God, directeth him.

²⁴ Only in Yahweh––for me, Hath one said, Is there righteousness and strength, Unto him, shall come and turn pale––All who have been incensed against him:

¹¹ O thou humbled one, storm–tossed, uncomforted,––Lo! I, am about to set, in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in sapphires; ¹² And make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones,–– And all thy boundaries, stones of delight;

¹³ and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king,––yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire;

¹⁷ And, the pillars of bronze that pertained to the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, did the Chaldeans, break in pieces,––and they carried away all the bronze of them, to Babylon; ¹⁸ and, the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away; ¹⁹ and, the basins and the censers and the dashing bowls and the caldrons and the lamps and the spoons and the cups, which were of gold, in, gold, and which were of silver, in, silver, did the chief of the royal executioners, take away. ²⁰ As for the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve oxen of bronze which were under the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things. ²¹ Now, as for the pillars, eighteen cubits, was the height, of each, pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, compassed it about,––and, the thickness thereof, was four fingers’ breadth––hollow; ²² and there was, a capital, upon it, of bronze, and, the height of each, capital, was five cubits, with lattice–work and pomegranates upon the capital round about––the whole, was of bronze,––and, like these, were the second pillar and the pomegranates. ²³ And the pomegranates were ninety–six on a side,––all the pomegranates, were a hundred, upon the lattice–work, round about.

¹⁰ and, the likeness of their faces, was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and, the face of an ox, on the left, of the four of them,––the face of an eagle, also had they four;

¹⁵ And I looked at the living ones,––and lo! one wheel upon the earth beside the living ones, for each of his four faces. ¹⁶ The appearance of the wheels and of their structure, was like a Tarshish–stone to look upon, and they four had, one likeness,––and, their appearance and their structure, were just as would be, a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

¹⁶ The appearance of the wheels and of their structure, was like a Tarshish–stone to look upon, and they four had, one likeness,––and, their appearance and their structure, were just as would be, a wheel in the midst of a wheel. ¹⁷ Upon their four sides, when they went, so, did they go,––they turned not when they went. ¹⁸ As for their rings, they were so high, that they were terrible,––and, their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.

¹⁸ As for their rings, they were so high, that they were terrible,––and, their rings full of eyes round about, had they four. ¹⁹ And when the living ones went, the wheels went beside them,––and when the living ones were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up: ²⁰ whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went––thither, was the spirit minded to go,––and, the wheels, would be lifted up along with them, for, the spirit of the living one, was in the wheels: ²¹ when they went, these went, and, when they stood, these stood,––and, when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up, along with them, for, the spirit of the living one, was in the wheels.

¹³ Yea the sound of the wings of the living ones, gently touching each other, and the sound of the wheels, along with them, even the sound of a great rushing.

¹⁰ and, as for their appearance, one likeness, had they four,––as might be a wheel in the midst of a wheel. ¹¹ When they went, upon their four sides, they went, they turned not when they went,––for, to the place whithersoever the head turned, after it, they went, they turned not when they went. ¹² And, all their flesh, and their back, and their hands, and their wings,––and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even their wheels, which they four had, ¹³ To the wheels––to them, was made the cry––O whirling wheel! in mine ears. ¹⁴ And, four faces, had each one,––the first face, was the face of a cherub, and, the second face, was the face of a man, and, the third, was the face of a lion, and, the fourth, was the face of an eagle.

¹⁶ And, latticed windows, had the lodges, even towards their projections within the gate, round about on every side, and, so, had the recesses,––and windows round about on every side inwards, and, against each projection, palm–trees.

²² And, the windows thereof and the recesses thereof and the palm–trees thereof, were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east,––and, by seven steps, they ascend it, and, their recesses, were within.

²⁵ And, windows, were there to it, and the recesses thereof round about on all sides, like these windows,––fifty cubits, in length, and, in breadth, five–and–twenty cubits.

²⁹ and, the lodges thereof, and the projections thereof, and the recesses thereof, were according to these measures, and, windows, were there to it, and to the recesses thereof, round about on every side,––fifty cubits, in length, and, in breadth, twenty and five cubits;

³⁹ And, in the porch of the gate, were two tables, on this side, and two tables, on that side,––to slay thereon, the ascending–sacrifice, and the sin–bearer, and the guilt–bearer.

⁴² And, the four tables for the ascending–offering, were of hewn stone, in length, one cubit and a half, and, in breadth, one cubit and a half, and, in height, one cubit,––that, thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending–offering and the sacrifice.

⁴⁸ And, when he brought me unto the porch of the house, then measured he the projection of the porch, five cubits, on this, side, and, five cubits, on that, side,––and, the breadth of the gate, was three cubits on this, side, and three cubits on that, side: ⁴⁹ the length of the porch, was twenty cubits, and, the breadth, twelve cubits, and by ten steps they ascend into it,––and there were pillars against the projections, one, on this, side, and, one, on that, side.

¹⁸ And it was made with cherubim and palm–trees,––with, a palm–tree, between cherub and cherub, and, two faces, had each cherub;

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

¹⁹ and, the face of a man, was toward the palm–tree on this, side, and, the face of a young lion, was toward the palm–tree on that, side,––[thus was it] made unto all the house, round about on every side. ²⁰ From the ground as far as the space above the entrance, were, the cherubim and the palm–trees, made.

²² The altar, was of wood, three cubits in height, and, the length thereof, two cubits, and, the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood,––then spake he unto me, [saying], This, is the table, which is before Yahweh.

²⁵ And there had been made, unto them, unto the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm–trees, like as had been made to the walls,––and thick beams of wood unto the front of the porch without. ²⁶ And there were, latticed windows and palm–trees, on this, side and on that, side, unto the sides of the porch,––and [unto] the side chambers of the house and the thick beams.

²⁶ And there were, latticed windows and palm–trees, on this, side and on that, side, unto the sides of the porch,––and [unto] the side chambers of the house and the thick beams.

¹⁶ They, shall enter into my sanctuary, and, They, shall draw near unto my table, to wait upon me,––So shall they keep my charge.

¹⁴ And, the statutory portion of oil, shall be––per bath for oil––a tenth part of a bath, out of a cor, which is ten baths, even a homer; for, ten baths, are a homer.

²⁰ Then said he unto me,––This, is the place where the priests, shall boil, the guilt–bearer, and the sin–bearer,––where they shall bake the meal–offering, that one may not carry them forth into the outer court, to hallow the people. ²¹ So he caused me to go out into the outer court, and then made me pass through into the four corners of the court,––and lo! a court, in each corner of the court: ²² in the four corners of the court, were courts covered over, forty long and thirty broad: of one measure, were those four. ²³ And there was an enclosure round about in them, round about to those four,––and, boiling places, had been made under the enclosures, round about. ²⁴ And he said unto me,––These, are the places of them who boil, where they who wait upon the house, shall boil, the sacrifice of the people.

¹⁴ For, I, will be as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah,––I, I, will tear in pieces, and depart, I will carry off, and none be able to rescue.

¹ And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up out of his sleep. ² Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said––I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand––all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof; ³ and, Two Olive–trees, by it,––one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.

⁹ The hands of Zerubbabel, have founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it,––So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you.

¹¹ Then responded I, and said unto him,––What are these two olive–trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof? ¹² And I responded a second time, and said unto him,––What are the two branches of the olive– trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil? ¹³ And he spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord. ¹⁴ Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones,––who stand near the Lord of all the earth.

¹ In that day, there shall be an opened fountain, for the house of David, and for the Inhabitants of Jerusalem,––for sin and for uncleanness.

²¹ And every caldron in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be Holy unto Yahweh of hosts,––So shall all who are offering sacrifice, come in, and take of them, and boil therein,––Neither shall there be a merchant any more in the house of Yahweh of hosts, in that day.

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

¹⁴ Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying. ¹⁵ Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house. ¹⁶ In like manner, let your light shine before men,––that they may see your good works,––and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

³³ But be seeking first, the kingdom and its righteousness,––and, all these things, shall be added unto you.

¹⁸ And, I also, unto thee, say––Thou, art Peter,––and, upon this rock, will I build my assembly, and, the gates of hades, shall not prevail against it.

¹⁹ Go ye, therefore, and disciple all the nations, Immersing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,––

¹⁵ and he said unto them––Go ye into all the world, and proclaim the glad–message, to the whole creation: ¹⁶ He that hath believed, and been immersed, shall be saved; but, he that hath disbelieved, shall be condemned:

⁴⁷ And that repentance for remission of sins should be proclaimed upon his name unto all the nations,––beginning from Jerusalem.

²³ and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.

¹¹ And, as he held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them, in the portico which is called Solomon’s,––greatly amazed.

¹² And, through the hands of the Apostles, were coming to pass many signs and wonders among the people; and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon;

¹⁰ According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master–builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;
¹¹ For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.

⁹ For, in the law of Moses, it is written––Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn:––Is it, for the oxen, God is caring?

²¹ Ye cannot be drinking––a cup of the Lord, and a cup of demons; ye cannot be partaking of, a table of the Lord, and a table of demons.

⁹ And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, [should go] unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision:––

²⁰ Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself,–– ²¹ In whom, an entire building, in process of being fitly joined together, is growing into a holy shrine in [the] Lord; ²² In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.

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

¹⁰ Only as to eatings, and drinkings, and diversified immersions,––righteous–appointments of the flesh, which, until a season of rectifying, are in force.

²² Let us approach with a genuine heart, in full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled, as to our hearts, from an evil conscience, and bathed, as to our bodies, with pure water;

⁵ Yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well–pleasing unto God through Jesus Christ;

⁷ Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.

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

¹² He that overcometh, I will make, him, a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and, outside, shall he in nowise go forth any more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and [I will write upon him] my new name.

⁶ and, before the throne, [is] as a glassy sea, like unto crystal. And, in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, [are] four living creatures full of eyes, before and behind; ⁷ and, the first living creature, [is] like unto a lion, and, the second living creature, like unto a calf, and, the third living creature, hath the face as of a man, and, the fourth living creature, [is] like unto an eagle flying;

⁵ And, one of the elders, saith unto me––Do not weep! Lo! the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome, to open the scroll and the seven seals thereof.

¹⁴ And I at once said to him––My lord! thou, knowest! And he said unto me––These, are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb;

¹⁹ The foundations of the wall of the city, with every precious stone were adorned: the first foundation, was jasper, the second, sapphire, the third, chalcedony, the fourth, emerald, ²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx, the sixth, sardius, the seventh, chrysolite, the eighth, beryl, the ninth, topaz, the tenth, chrysoprase, the eleventh, hyacinth, the twelfth, amethyst;
