Exodus 35:10-36:38 10 Every skilled person
among you is to come and make all that the
Lord has commanded:
11 the tabernacle with
its tent, its covering, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases;
12 the ark, with its poles, the atonement lid, and the special curtain that conceals it;
13 the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence;
14 the lampstand for
the light and its accessories, its lamps, and oil for the light;
15 and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle;
16 the altar for the burnt offering with its bronze grating that is on it, its poles, and all its utensils; the large basin and its pedestal;
17 the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway to the courtyard;
18 tent pegs for the tabernacle and tent pegs for the courtyard and their ropes;
19 the woven garments for serving in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.”
20 So the whole community of the Israelites went out from the presence of Moses.
21 Everyone
whose heart stirred him to action
and everyone whose spirit was willing
came and brought the offering for the
Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.
22 They came, men and women alike,
all who had willing hearts. They brought brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry,
and everyone came who waved
a wave offering of gold to the
Lord.
23 Everyone who had
blue, purple, or
scarlet yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair, ram skins dyed red, or fine leather
brought them.
24 Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as
an offering to the
Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood
for any work of the service brought it.
25 Every woman who was skilled
spun with her hands and brought what she had spun, blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen,
26 and all the women whose heart stirred them to action and who were skilled
spun goats’ hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted
for the ephod and the breastpiece,
28 and spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the
Lord, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the
Lord through
Moses had commanded them
to do.
30 Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the
Lord has chosen
Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God – with skill, with understanding, with knowledge, and in all kinds of work,
32 to design artistic designs, to work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,
33 and in cutting stones for their setting,
and in cutting wood, to do work in every artistic craft.
34 And he has put it in his heart
to teach, he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 He has filled them with skill
to do all kinds of work
as craftsmen, as designers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and as weavers. They are
craftsmen in all the work
and artistic designers.
1 So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person
in whom the
Lord has put skill
and ability
to know how
to do all the work for the service
of the sanctuary are to do the work
according to all that the
Lord has commanded.”
2 Moses summoned
Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom
the
Lord had put skill – everyone whose heart stirred him
to volunteer
to do the work,
3 and they received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do
the work for the service of the sanctuary, and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning.
4 So all the skilled people who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came from the work
they were doing
5 and told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than
is needed for the completion
of the work which the
Lord commanded us to do!”
6 Moses instructed them to take
his message
throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing any more.
7 Now the materials were more than enough
for them to do all the work.
8 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.
9 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.
10 He joined
five of the curtains to one another, and the other
five curtains he joined to one another.
11 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.
12 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.
13 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.
14 He made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.
15 The length of one curtain was forty-five feet, and the width of one curtain was six feet – one size for all eleven curtains.
16 He joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.
17 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.
18 He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be a unit.
19 He made a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather.
20 He made the frames
for the tabernacle of acacia wood
as uprights.
21 The length of each
frame was fifteen feet, the width of each
frame was two and a quarter feet,
22 with
two projections per frame parallel one to another.
He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
23 So he made frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side.
24 He made forty silver bases under the twenty frames – two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise
two bases under the next frame for its two projections,
25 and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames
26 and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame and two bases under the next
frame.
27 And for the back of the tabernacle on the west he made six frames.
28 He made two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back.
29 At the two corners
they were doubled at the lower end and
finished together at the top in one ring. So he did for both.
30 So there were eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under each frame.
31 He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle
32 and five bars for the frames on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle for the back side on the west.
33 He made the middle bar to reach from end to end in the center of the frames.
34 He overlaid the frames with gold and made their rings of gold to provide places
for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
35 He made the special curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen; he made
it with cherubim, the work of an artistic designer.
36 He made for it four posts of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, with gold hooks,
and he cast for them four silver bases.
37 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,
38 and its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their tops
and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.
Context (NET) Matthew 27:32-66 32 As
they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced
to carry his cross.
33 They
came to a place called Golgotha
(which means “Place of the Skull”)
34 and offered Jesus
wine mixed with gall to drink.
But after tasting it, he would not drink it.
35 When
they had crucified
him,
they divided his clothes by throwing dice.
36 Then they sat down and kept guard over him there.
37 Above
his head they put the charge against him,
which read:
“This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
38 Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
39 Those
who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads
40 and saying, “You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!
If you are God’s Son, come down
from the cross!”
41 In
the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law
and elders
– were mocking him:
42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the king of Israel! If he comes down
now from the cross, we will believe in him!
43 H
e trusts in God – let God, if he wants to, deliver him now because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!”
44 The
robbers who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him.
45 Now from noon until three,
darkness came over all the land.
46 At
about three o’clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice,
“
Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47 When
some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.”
48 Immediately
one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine,
put it on a stick,
and gave it to him to drink.
49 But the rest said, “Leave him alone! Let’s see if Elijah will come to save him.”
50 Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
51 Just then
the temple curtain
was torn in two, from top to bottom. The
earth shook and the rocks were split apart.
52 And tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had died
were raised.
53 (They
came out of the tombs after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.)
54 Now when the centurion
and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, “Truly this one was God’s Son!”
55 Many
women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and given him support
were also there, watching from a distance.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Now
when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.
58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
59 Joseph
took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 and placed it
in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock.
Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance
of the tomb and went away.
61 (Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, opposite the tomb.)
62 The
next day (which is after the day of preparation) the chief priests and the Pharisees
assembled before Pilate
63 and said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 So give orders to secure the tomb until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal his body
and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilate said to them, “Take
a guard of soldiers. Go and make it as secure as you can.”
66 So
they went with the soldiers
of the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.

I will praise
the
Lord at all times; my mouth will continually praise him.
2 I will boast

Lord; let the oppressed hear and rejoice!
3 Magnify the
Lord with me! Let’s praise
his name together!

Lord’s help
and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him for help are happy; their faces are not ashamed.

a mocker is asking for
insult;

abuse.
8 Do not reprove
a mocker or
he will hate you; reprove a wise person and he will love you.
