According to all that I am showing you– the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings– you must make it exactly so.

And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach;if it is exhortation, he must exhort; if it is contributing, he must do so with sincerity; if it is leadership, he must do so with diligence; if it is showing mercy, he must do so with cheerfulness.

All the skilled among those who were doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet; they were made with cherubim that were the work of an artistic designer.The length of one curtain was forty-two feet, and the width of one curtain was six feet– the same size for each of the curtains.He joined five of the curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he joined to one another.He made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in the first set; he did the same along the edge of the end curtain in the second set.He made fifty loops on the first curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end curtain that was in the second set, with the loops opposite one another.He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.He made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.The length of one curtain was forty-five feet, and the width of one curtain was six feet– one size for all eleven curtains.He joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joined the second set.He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be a unit.He made a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather.

The descendants of Ladan, who were descended from Gershon through Ladan and were leaders of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, included Jehieliand the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the storehouses in the LORD’s temple.

“ You are to make a hanging for the entrance of the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer.You are to make for the hanging five posts of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and their hooks will be gold, and you are to cast five bronze bases for them.

He made a hanging for the entrance of the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer,and its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their tops and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.

Then I said to them,“ You are holy to the LORD, just as these vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a voluntary offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.Be careful with them and protect them, until you weigh them out before the leading priests and the Levites and the family leaders of Israel in Jerusalem, in the storerooms of the temple of the LORD.”Then the priests and the Levites took charge of the silver, the gold, and the vessels that had been weighed out, to transport them to Jerusalem to the temple of our God.

Then he put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

Then the tabernacle was dismantled, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.

I put this charge before you, Timothy my child, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, in order that with such encouragement you may fight the good fight.

This is the service of the families of Gershonites, as they serve and carry it.They must carry the curtains for the tabernacle and the tent of meeting with its covering, the covering of fine leather that is over it, the curtains for the entrance of the tent of meeting,the hangings for the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance of the gate of the court, which is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their ropes, along with all the furnishings for their service and everything that is made for them. So they are to serve.“ All the service of the Gershonites, whether carrying loads or for any of their work, will be at the direction of Aaron and his sons. You will assign them all their tasks as their responsibility.This is the service of the families of the Gershonites concerning the tent of meeting. Their responsibilities will be under the authority of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

Hezekiah ordered that storerooms be prepared in the LORD’s temple. When this was done,they brought in the contributions, tithes, and consecrated items that had been offered. Konaniah, a Levite, was in charge of all this, assisted by his brother Shimei.Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath, and Benaiah worked under the supervision of Konaniah and his brother Shimei, as directed by King Hezekiah and Azariah, the supervisor of God’s temple.Kore son of Imnah, a Levite and the guard on the east side, was in charge of the voluntary offerings made to God and disbursed the contributions made to the LORD and the consecrated items.In the cities of the priests, Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully assisted him in making disbursements to their fellow priests according to their divisions, regardless of age.They made disbursements to all the males three years old and up who were listed in the genealogical records– to all who would enter the LORD’s temple to serve on a daily basis and fulfill their duties as assigned to their divisions.They made disbursements to the priests listed in the genealogical records by their families, and to the Levites twenty years old and up, according to their duties as assigned to their divisions,and to all the infants, wives, sons, and daughters of the entire assembly listed in the genealogical records, for they faithfully consecrated themselves.

They are responsible for his needs and the needs of the whole community before the tent of meeting, by attending to the service of the tabernacle.

Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

They were in charge of the meeting tent and the holy place, and helped their relatives, the descendants of Aaron, in the service of the LORD’s temple.

Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and Levites to do their assigned tasks– to offer burnt sacrifices and present offerings and to serve, give thanks, and offer praise in the gates of the LORD’s sanctuary.

It is like a man going on a journey. He left his house and put his slaves in charge, assigning to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert.

From the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah a descendant of Merari;Bakbakkar; Heresh; Galal; Mattaniah son of Mika, son of Zikri, son of Asaph;Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived among the settlements of the Netophathites.The gatekeepers were: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brothers. Shallum was the leader;he serves to this day at the King’s Gate on the east. These were the gatekeepers from the camp of the descendants of Levi.Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his relatives from his family( the Korahites) were assigned to guard the entrance to the sanctuary. Their ancestors had guarded the entrance to the LORD’s dwelling place.Phinehas son of Eleazar had been their leader in earlier times, and the LORD was with him.Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the guard at the entrance to the meeting tent.All those selected to be gatekeepers at the entrances numbered 212. Their names were recorded in the genealogical records of their settlements. David and Samuel the prophet had appointed them to their positions.They and their descendants were assigned to guard the gates of the LORD’s sanctuary( that is, the tabernacle).The gatekeepers were posted on all four sides– east, west, north, and south.Their relatives, who lived in their settlements, came from time to time and served with them for seven-day periods.The four head gatekeepers, who were Levites, were assigned to guard the storerooms and treasuries in God’s sanctuary.They would spend the night in their posts all around God’s sanctuary, for they were assigned to guard it and would open it with the key every morning.Some of them were in charge of the articles used by those who served; they counted them when they brought them in and when they brought them out.Some of them were in charge of the equipment and articles of the sanctuary, as well as the flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices.( But some of the priests mixed the spices.)Mattithiah, a Levite, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was in charge of baking the bread for offerings.Some of the Kohathites, their relatives, were in charge of preparing the bread that is displayed each Sabbath.The musicians and Levite family leaders stayed in rooms at the sanctuary and were exempt from other duties, for day and night they had to carry out their assigned tasks.

“ The tabernacle itself you are to make with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet; you are to make them with cherubim that are the work of an artistic designer.The length of each curtain is to be forty-two feet, and the width of each curtain is to be six feet– the same size for each of the curtains.Five curtains are to be joined, one to another, and the other five curtains are to be joined, one to another.You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and in the same way you are to make loops in the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.You are to make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you are to make fifty loops on the end curtain which is on the second set, so that the loops are opposite one to another.You are to make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle is a unit.“ You are to make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you are to make eleven curtains.The length of each curtain is to be forty-five feet, and the width of each curtain is to be six feet– the same size for the eleven curtains.You are to join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.

And tell Archippus,“ See to it that you complete the ministry you received in the Lord.”

He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their service required;
