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 behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

“ 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:

“ And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

Moreover, I have also given him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and I have given ability to all the specially skilled, that they may make everything I have commanded you:

Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise- hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

“ Let all the skilled craftsmen among you come and make everything that the Lord has commanded:

You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make Aaron’s garments for consecrating him to serve Me as priest.

He has also given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.He has filled them with skill to do all the work of a gem cutter; a designer; an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen; and a weaver. They can do every kind of craft and design artistic designs.Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people are to work based on everything the Lord has commanded. The Lord has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”

After this, the Lord appointed 70 others, and He sent them ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.

As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,“ Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them to.”

Every skilled woman spun yarn with her hands and brought it: blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.And all the women whose hearts were moved spun the goat hair by virtue of their skill.

Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts.For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up.Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm?And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

I will therefore do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you before and never will be again.

But when the prophets Haggai and Zechariah 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,Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak began to rebuild God’s house in Jerusalem. The prophets of God were with them, helping them.

Don’t be deceived, my dearly loved brothers.Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning.

Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses, and He said,“ Isn’t Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, he is on his way now to meet you. He will rejoice when he sees you.You will speak with him and tell him what to say. I will help both you and him to speak and will teach you both what to do.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.He stores up success for the upright; He is a shield for those who live with integrity

These are the names of the 12 apostles: 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 also betrayed Him.

He led me to the gate, the one that faces east,and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice sounded like the roar of mighty waters, and the earth shone with His glory.The vision I saw was like the one I had seen when He came to destroy the city, and like the ones I had seen by the Chebar Canal. I fell facedown.The glory of the Lord entered the temple by way of the gate that faced east.Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from the temple.He said to me:“ Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel and their kings will no longer defile My holy name by their religious prostitution and by the corpses of their kings at their high places.Whenever they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they were defiling My holy name by the detestable acts they committed. So I destroyed them in My anger.Now let them remove their prostitution and the corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will dwell among them forever.“ As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure its pattern,and they will be ashamed of all that they have done. Reveal the design of the temple to them— its layout with its exits and entrances— its complete design along with all its statutes, design specifications, and laws. Write it down in their sight so that they may observe its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.This is the law of the temple: all its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be especially holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.“ These are the measurements of the altar in units of length( each unit being the standard length plus three inches): the gutter is 21 inches deep and 21 inches wide, with a rim of nine inches around its edge. This is the base of the altar.The distance from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is 3 1/2 feet, and the width of the ledge is 21 inches. There are seven feet from the small ledge to the large ledge, whose width is also 21 inches.The altar hearth is seven feet high, and four horns project upward from the hearth.The hearth is square, 21 feet long by 21 feet wide.The ledge is 24 1/2 feet long by 24 1/2 feet wide, with four equal sides. The rim all around it is 10 1/2 inches, and its gutter is 21 inches all around it. The altar’s steps face east.”Then He said to me:“ Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be sprinkled on it:You are to give a bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, who approach Me in order to serve Me.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.“ You must take some of its blood and apply it to the four horns of the altar, the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim. In this way you will purify the altar and make atonement for it.Then you must take away the bull for the sin offering, and it must be burned outside the sanctuary in the place appointed for the temple.“ On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering. They will purify the altar just as they did with the bull.When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.You must present them before the Lord; the priests will throw salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.You will offer a goat for a sin offering each day for seven days. A young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished, must also be offered.For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it. In this way they will consecrate itand complete the days of purification. Then on the eighth day and afterward, the priests will offer your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar, and I will accept you.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:“ Among the Levites, take a census of the Kohathites by their clans and their ancestral houses,men from 30 years old to 50 years old— everyone who is qualified to do work at the tent of meeting.“ The service of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting concerns the most holy objects.Whenever the camp is about to move on, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the screening veil, and cover the ark of the testimony with it.They are to place over this a covering made of manatee skin, spread a solid blue cloth on top, and insert its poles.“ They are to spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence and place the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to be on it.They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with a covering made of manatee skin, and insert the poles in the table.“ They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, with its lamps, snuffers, and firepans, as well as its jars of oil by which they service it.Then they must place it with all its utensils inside a covering made of manatee skin and put them on the carrying frame.“ They are to spread a blue cloth over the gold altar, cover it with a covering made of manatee skin, and insert its poles.They are to take all the serving utensils they use in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering made of manatee skin, and put them on a carrying frame.“ They are to remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,and place all the equipment on it that they use in serving: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and basins— all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread a covering made of manatee skin over it and insert its poles.“ Aaron and his sons are to finish covering the holy objects and all their equipment whenever the camp is to move on. The Kohathites will come and carry them, but they are not to touch the holy objects or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the tent of meeting.“ Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has oversight of the lamp oil, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, the holy objects and their utensils.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:“ Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be wiped out from the Levites.Do this for them so that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy objects: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and transportation duty.The Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”The Lord spoke to Moses:“ Take a census of the Gershonites also, by their ancestral houses and their clans.Register men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who is qualified to perform service, to do work at the tent of meeting.This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transportation duties:They are to transport the tabernacle curtains, the tent of meeting with its covering and the covering made of manatee skin on top of it, the screen for the entrance to the tent of meeting,the hangings of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. They will carry out everything that needs to be done with these items.“ All the service of the Gershonites, all their transportation duties and all their other work, is to be done at the command of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting, and their duties will be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.“ As for the Merarites, you are to register them by their clans and their ancestral houses.Register men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who is qualified to do the work of the tent of meeting.This is what they are responsible to carry as the whole of their service at the tent of meeting: the supports of the tabernacle, with its crossbars, posts, and bases,the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and all the work related to them. You are to assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.This is the service of the Merarite clans regarding all their work at the tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the community registered the Kohathites by their clans and their ancestral houses,men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified for work at the tent of meeting.The men registered by their clans numbered 2,750.These were the registered men of the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron registered them at the Lord’s command through Moses.The Gershonites were registered by their clans and their ancestral houses,men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified for work at the tent of meeting.The men registered by their clans and their ancestral houses numbered 2,630.These were the registered men of the Gershonite clans. At the Lord’s command Moses and Aaron registered everyone who could serve at the tent of meeting.The men of the Merarite clans were registered by their clans and their ancestral houses,those from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified for work at the tent of meeting.The men registered by their clans numbered 3,200.These were the registered men of the Merarite clans; Moses and Aaron registered them at the Lord’s command through Moses.Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel registered all the Levites by their clans and their ancestral houses,from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified to do the work of serving at the tent of meeting and transporting it.Their registered men numbered 8,580.At the Lord’s command they were registered under the direction of Moses, each one according to his work and transportation duty, and his assignment was as the Lord commanded Moses.

Then Solomon began to build the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the site David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.He began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.These are Solomon’s foundations for building God’s temple: the length was 90 feet, and the width 30 feet.The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was 30 feet wide; its height was 30 feet; he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold.

It was this Aaron and Moses whom the Lord told,“ Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt according to their divisions.”

Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood, 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.He overlaid it with pure gold inside and out and made a gold molding all around it.He cast four gold rings for it, for its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark for carrying the ark.He made a mercy seat of pure gold, 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat,one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. At each end, he made a cherub of one piece with the mercy seat.They had wings spread out. They faced each other and covered the mercy seat with their wings. The faces of the cherubim were looking toward the mercy seat.He constructed the table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding all around it.He made a three-inch frame all around it and made a gold molding all around its frame.He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs.The rings were next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.He made the poles for carrying the table from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.He also made the utensils that would be on the table out of pure gold: its plates and cups, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold. He made it all of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its calyxes and petals.Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the next branch. It was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand.On the lampstand shaft there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with its calyxes and petals.For the six branches that extended from it, a calyx was under the first pair of branches from it, a calyx under the second pair of branches from it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches from it.Their calyxes and branches were of one piece. All of it was a single hammered piece of pure gold.He also made its seven lamps, snuffers, and firepans of pure gold.He made it and all its utensils of 75 pounds of pure gold.He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, 18 inches long and 18 inches wide; it was 36 inches high. Its horns were of one piece.He overlaid it, its top, all around its sides, and its horns with pure gold. Then he made a gold molding all around it.He made two gold rings for it under the molding on two of its sides; he put these on opposite sides of it to be holders for the poles to carry it with.He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant, and expertly blended incense.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

Solomon began to build the temple for the Lord in the four hundred eightieth year after the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of his reign over Israel, in the second month, in the month of Ziv.The temple that King Solomon built for the Lord was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.The portico in front of the temple sanctuary was 30 feet long extending across the temple’s width, and 15 feet deep in front of the temple.He also made windows with beveled frames for the temple.He then built a chambered structure along the temple wall, encircling the walls of the temple, that is, the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around.The lowest chamber was 7 1/2 feet wide, the middle was nine feet wide, and the third was 10 1/2 feet wide. He also provided offset ledges for the temple all around the outside so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.The temple’s construction used finished stones cut at the quarry so that no hammer, chisel, or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.The door for the lowest side chamber was on the right side of the temple. They went up a stairway to the middle chamber, and from the middle to the third.

All the skilled craftsmen among those doing the work made the tabernacle with 10 curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.

There was such a sharp disagreement that they parted company, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed off to Cyprus.Then Paul chose Silas and departed, after being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.
