Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you:

I have also appointed Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak, to help him. Oholiab is from the tribe of Dan.“ I have given ability to all the skilled workers. They can make everything I have commanded you to make. Here is the complete list.

“ And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:

I have also selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be with him. I have put wisdom in the heart of every skilled artisan in order to make all that I have commanded you:

“ Let every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:

You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill, that they make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him for my priesthood.

And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver— by any sort of workman or skilled designer.“ Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,“ Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

And every skillful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.All the women whose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats’ hair.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him— a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.

Now the prophets, Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel who was over them.Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak arose and began to rebuild the house of God that is in Jerusalem, and the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.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 due to change.

Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said,“ Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing east.And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.And the vision I saw was just like the vision that I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and just like the vision that I had seen by the Chebar canal. And I fell on my face.As the glory of the Lord entered the temple by the gate facing east,the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple,and he said to me,“ Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoring and by the dead bodies of their kings at their high places,by setting their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them. They have defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed, so I have consumed them in my anger.Now let them put away their whoring and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.“ As for you, son of man, describe to the house of Israel the temple, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and they shall measure the plan.And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple, its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, that is, its whole design; and make known to them as well all its statutes and its whole design and all its laws, and write it down in their sight, so that they may observe all its laws and all its statutes and carry them out.This is the law of the temple: the whole territory on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.“ These are the measurements of the altar by cubits( the cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth): its base shall be one cubit high and one cubit broad, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this shall be the height of the altar:from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits, with a breadth of one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits, with a breadth of one cubit;and the altar hearth, four cubits; and from the altar hearth projecting upward, four horns.The altar hearth shall be square, twelve cubits long by twelve broad.The ledge also shall be square, fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad, with a rim around it half a cubit broad, and its base one cubit all around. The steps of the altar shall face east.”And he said to me,“ Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the ordinances for the altar: On the day when it is erected for offering burnt offerings upon it and for throwing blood against it,you shall give to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who draw near to me to minister to me, declares the Lord God, a bull from the herd for a sin offering.And you shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the ledge and upon the rim all around. Thus you shall purify the altar and make atonement for it.You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place belonging to the temple, outside the sacred area.And on the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and the altar shall be purified, as it was purified with the bull.When you have finished purifying it, you shall offer a bull from the herd without blemish and a ram from the flock without blemish.You shall present them before the Lord, and the priests shall sprinkle salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.For seven days you shall provide daily a male goat for a sin offering; also, a bull from the herd and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be provided.Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, and so consecrate it.And when they have completed these days, then from the eighth day onward the priests shall offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, and I will accept you, declares the Lord God.”

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,“ Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their clans and their fathers’ houses,from thirty years old up to fifty years old, all who can come on duty, to do the work in the tent of meeting.This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: the most holy things.When the camp is to set out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the veil of the screen and cover the ark of the testimony with it.Then they shall put on it a covering of goatskin and spread on top of that a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles.And over the table of the bread of the Presence they shall spread a cloth of blue and put on it the plates, the dishes for incense, the bowls, and the flagons for the drink offering; the regular show bread also shall be on it.Then they shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet and cover the same with a covering of goatskin, and shall put in its poles.And they shall take a cloth of blue and cover the lampstand for the light, with its lamps, its tongs, its trays, and all the vessels for oil with which it is supplied.And they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of goatskin and put it on the carrying frame.And over the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue and cover it with a covering of goatskin, and shall put in its poles.And they shall take all the vessels of the service that are used in the sanctuary and put them in a cloth of blue and cover them with a covering of goatskin and put them on the carrying frame.And they shall take away the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it.And they shall put on it all the utensils of the altar, which are used for the service there, the fire pans, the forks, the shovels, and the basins, all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of goatskin, and shall put in its poles.And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, as the camp sets out, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry these, but they must not touch the holy things, lest they die. These are the things of the tent of meeting that the sons of Kohath are to carry.“ And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall have charge of the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the regular grain offering, and the anointing oil, with the oversight of the whole tabernacle and all that is in it, of the sanctuary and its vessels.”The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,“ Let not the tribe of the clans of the Kohathites be destroyed from among the Levites,but deal thus with them, that they may live and not die when they come near to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint them each to his task and to his burden,but they shall not go in to look on the holy things even for a moment, lest they die.”The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses and by their clans.From thirty years old up to fifty years old, you shall list them, all who can come to do duty, to do service in the tent of meeting.This is the service of the clans of the Gershonites, in serving and bearing burdens:they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tent of meeting with its covering and the covering of goatskin that is on top of it and the screen for the entrance of the tent of meetingand the hangings of the court and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court that is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords and all the equipment for their service. And they shall do all that needs to be done with regard to them.All the service of the sons of the Gershonites shall be at the command of Aaron and his sons, in all that they are to carry and in all that they have to do. And you shall assign to their charge all that they are to carry.This is the service of the clans of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, and their guard duty is to be under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.“ As for the sons of Merari, you shall list them by their clans and their fathers’ houses.From thirty years old up to fifty years old, you shall list them, everyone who can come on duty, to do the service of the tent of meeting.And this is what they are charged to carry, as the whole of their service in the tent of meeting: the frames of the tabernacle, with its bars, pillars, and bases,and the pillars around the court with their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their equipment and all their accessories. And you shall list by name the objects that they are required to carry.This is the service of the clans of the sons of Merari, the whole of their service in the tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”And Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the congregation listed the sons of the Kohathites, by their clans and their fathers’ houses,from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who could come on duty, for service in the tent of meeting;and those listed by clans were 2,750.This was the list of the clans of the Kohathites, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron listed according to the commandment of the Lord by Moses.Those listed of the sons of Gershon, by their clans and their fathers’ houses,from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who could come on duty for service in the tent of meeting—those listed by their clans and their fathers’ houses were 2,630.This was the list of the clans of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron listed according to the commandment of the Lord.Those listed of the clans of the sons of Merari, by their clans and their fathers’ houses,from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who could come on duty, for service in the tent of meeting—those listed by clans were 3,200.This was the list of the clans of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron listed according to the commandment of the Lord by Moses.All those who were listed of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of Israel listed, by their clans and their fathers’ houses,from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who could come to do the service of ministry and the service of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting,those listed were 8,580.According to the commandment of the Lord through Moses they were listed, each one with his task of serving or carrying. Thus they were listed by him, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.These are Solomon’s measurements for building the house of God: the length, in cubits of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and its height was 120 cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.

These are the Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said:“ Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.”

Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it.And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side.And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with goldand put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat,one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends.The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it.And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim.He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs.Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table.He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold.And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings.He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it.And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it;three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch— so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers,and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it.Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold.And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold.He made it and all its utensils out of a talent of pure gold.He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth was a cubit. It was square, and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it.He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it,and made two rings of gold on it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles with which to carry it.And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord.The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house.And he made for the house windows with recessed frames.He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around.The lowest story was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad. For around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.The entrance for the lowest story was on the south side of the house, and one went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third.

And all the craftsmen among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked.

And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,but Paul chose Silas and departed, having been commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
