Exodus 35

Exo 35:1  And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.

Exo 35:2  Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

Exo 35:3  Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

Exo 35:4  And Moses spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,

Exo 35:5  Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,

Exo 35:6  And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

Exo 35:7  And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

Exo 35:8  And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

Exo 35:9  And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

Exo 35:10  And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;

Exo 35:11  The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his tacks, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

Exo 35:12  The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering,

Exo 35:13  The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,

Exo 35:14  The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,

Exo 35:15  And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

Exo 35:16  The altar of burnt offering, with his brazen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

Exo 35:17  The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,

Exo 35:18  The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

Exo 35:19  The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

Exo 35:20  And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

Exo 35:21  And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.

Exo 35:22  And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.

Exo 35:23  And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.

Exo 35:24  Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.

Exo 35:25  And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.

Exo 35:26  And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.

Exo 35:27  And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

Exo 35:28  And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

Exo 35:29  The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

Exo 35:30  And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

Exo 35:31  And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

Exo 35:32  And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

Exo 35:33  And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

Exo 35:34  And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

Exo 35:35  Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

 

Exodus 36

Exo 36:1  Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

Exo 36:2  And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

Exo 36:3  And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

Exo 36:4  And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

Exo 36:5  And they spoke unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

Exo 36:6  And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

Exo 36:7  For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

Exo 36:8  And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

Exo 36:9  The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

Exo 36:10  And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

Exo 36:11  And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvage in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

Exo 36:12  Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.

Exo 36:13  And he made fifty tacks of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the tacks: so it became one tabernacle.

Exo 36:14  And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

Exo 36:15  The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

Exo 36:16  And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

Exo 36:17  And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

Exo 36:18  And he made fifty tacks of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

Exo 36:19  And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.

Exo 36:20  And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.

Exo 36:21  The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.

Exo 36:22  One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

Exo 36:23  And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:

Exo 36:24  And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

Exo 36:25  And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,

Exo 36:26  And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

Exo 36:27  And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

Exo 36:28  And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

Exo 36:29  And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

Exo 36:30  And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.

Exo 36:31  And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

Exo 36:32  And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

Exo 36:33  And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.

Exo 36:34  And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

Exo 36:35  And he made a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.

Exo 36:36  And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

Exo 36:37  And he made a hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;

Exo 36:38  And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.

 

Mark 15

Mar 15:1  And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

Mar 15:2  And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

Mar 15:3  And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

Mar 15:4  And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

Mar 15:5  But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

Mar 15:6  Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

Mar 15:7  And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

Mar 15:8  And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

Mar 15:9  But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

Mar 15:10  For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

Mar 15:11  But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

Mar 15:12  And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

Mar 15:13  And they cried out again, Crucify him.

Mar 15:14  Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

Mar 15:15  And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Mar 15:16  And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

Mar 15:17  And they clothed him with purple, and plaited a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

Mar 15:18  And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

Mar 15:19  And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshiped him.

Mar 15:20  And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

Mar 15:21  And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

Mar 15:22  And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

Mar 15:23  And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

Mar 15:24  And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

Mar 15:25  And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

Mar 15:26  And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Mar 15:27  And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

Mar 15:28  And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

Mar 15:29  And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

Mar 15:30  Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

Mar 15:31  Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

Mar 15:32  Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

Mar 15:33  And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

Mar 15:34  And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Mar 15:35  And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah.

Mar 15:36  And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.

Mar 15:37  And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

Mar 15:38  And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

Mar 15:39  And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

Mar 15:40  There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

Mar 15:41  (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

Mar 15:42  And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

Mar 15:43  Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

Mar 15:44  And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

Mar 15:45  And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

Mar 15:46  And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

Mar 15:47  And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
