1
¶And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron,
Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship
ye afar off. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they
shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. 3
And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and
all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and
said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. 4 And Moses
wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning,
and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according
to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the children
of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings
of oxen unto the LORD. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put
it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7
And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of
the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do,
and be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on
the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the
LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
9 ¶Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy
of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and
there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone,
and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11 And upon
the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also
they saw God, and did eat and drink.
12 ¶And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount,
and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and
commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up
into the mount of God. 14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye
here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and
Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come
unto them. 15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered
the mount. 16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai,
and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called
unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 And the sight of the
glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount
in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 And Moses went into the
midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was
in the mount forty days and forty nights.

1 ¶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children
of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth
it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. 3 And this
is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and
brass, 4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and
goats' hair, 5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and
shittim wood, 6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and
for sweet incense, 7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod,
and in the breastplate. 8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that
I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I shew thee, after
the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments
thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10 ¶And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a
half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth
thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 11 And thou
shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay
it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. 12 And thou
shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners
thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings
in the other side of it. 13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim
wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 And thou shalt put the staves
into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne
with them. 15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they
shall not be taken from it. 16 And thou shalt put into the ark the
testimony which I shall give thee. 17 And thou shalt make a mercy
seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof,
and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 18 And thou shalt make
two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the
two ends of the mercy seat. 19 And make one cherub on the one end,
and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall
ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. 20 And the cherubims
shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat
with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward
the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. 21 And thou
shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou
shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will
meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy
seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the
testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto
the children of Israel.
23 ¶Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall
be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit
and a half the height thereof. 24 And thou shalt overlay it with
pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. 25 And
thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about,
and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings
in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. 27 Over against
the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the
table. 28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay
them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. 29 And thou
shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof,
and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make
them. 30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
31 ¶And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work
shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his
bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. 32 And
six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of
the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick
out of the other side: 33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with
a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds
in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches
that come out of the candlestick. 34 And in the candlestick shall
be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their
flowers. 35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the
same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under
two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed
out of the candlestick. 36 Their knops and their branches shall
be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. 37
And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light
the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. 38
And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of
pure gold. 39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all
these vessels. 40 And look that thou make them after their pattern,
which was shewed thee in the mount.

Psalms

1 ¶ Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words
of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark
sayings of old: 3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers
have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing
to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength,
and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5 For he established
a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded
our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children
which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their
children: 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget
the works of God, but keep his commandments: 8 And might not be
as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation
that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast
with God.
9 ¶The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned
back in the day of battle. 10 They kept not the covenant of God,
and refused to walk in his law; 11 And forgat his works, and his
wonders that he had shewed them. 12 Marvellous things did he in
the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of
Zoan. 13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and
he made the waters to stand as an heap. 14 In the daytime also he
led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out
of the great depths. 16 He brought streams also out of the rock,
and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17 And they sinned yet
more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 18
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table
in the wilderness? 20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters
gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also?
can he provide flesh for his people? 21 Therefore the LORD heard
this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger
also came up against Israel; 22 Because they believed not in God,
and trusted not in his salvation: 23 Though he had commanded the
clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained
down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. 26 He
caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought
in the south wind. 27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and
feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 28 And he let it fall
in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29 So
they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat
was yet in their mouths, 31 The wrath of God came upon them, and
slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous
works. 33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their
years in trouble. 34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and
they returned and enquired early after God. 35 And they remembered
that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 36 Nevertheless
they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with
their tongues. 37 For their heart was not right with him, neither
were they stedfast in his covenant. 38 But he, being full of compassion,
forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time
turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 39
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth
away, and cometh not again.
40 ¶How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him
in the desert! 41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited
the Holy One of Israel. 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the
day when he delivered them from the enemy. 43 How he had wrought
his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 44 And
had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they
could not drink. 45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which
devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 46 He gave also
their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees
with frost. 48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their
flocks to hot thunderbolts. 49 He cast upon them the fierceness
of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil
angels among them. 50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not
their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength
in the tabernacles of Ham: 52 But made his own people to go forth
like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53 And
he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed
their enemies. 54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 55 He
cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance
by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not
his testimonies: 57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like
their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 58 For
they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him
to jealousy with their graven images. 59 When God heard this, he
was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 60 So that he forsook the
tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 61 And
delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's
hand. 62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth
with his inheritance. 63 The fire consumed their young men; and
their maidens were not given to marriage. 64 Their priests fell
by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. 65 Then the
Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth
by reason of wine. 66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts:
he put them to a perpetual reproach. 67 Moreover he refused the
tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68 But
chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 69 And
he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he
hath established for ever. 70 He chose David also his servant, and
took him from the sheepfolds: 71 From following the ewes great with
young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided
them by the skilfulness of his hands.

1 ¶And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea
by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again;
and, as he was wont, he taught them again. 2 And the Pharisees came
to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses
command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of
divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said
unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and
female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so
then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house
his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith
unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another,
committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away
her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 ¶And they brought young children to him, that he should touch
them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 14 But
when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer
the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of
such is the kingdom of God. 15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall
not enter therein. 16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands
upon them, and blessed them.
17 ¶And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running,
and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do
that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour
thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master,
all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding
him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy
way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow
me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for
he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith
unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter
into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at
his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children,
how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom
of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they
were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then
can be saved? 27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it
is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have
followed thee. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto
you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake,
and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in
this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children,
and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 ¶And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went
before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were
afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what
things should happen unto him, 33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem;
and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and
unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall
deliver him to the Gentiles: 34 And they shall mock him, and shall
scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the
third day he shall rise again. 35 And James and John, the sons of
Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest
do for us whatsoever we shall desire. 36 And he said unto them,
What would ye that I should do for you? 37 They said unto him, Grant
unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on
thy left hand, in thy glory. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know
not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 39 And they said
unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink
of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized
withal shall ye be baptized: 40 But to sit on my right hand and
on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared. 41 And when the ten heard it, they began
to be much displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called them
to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted
to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their
great ones exercise authority upon them. 43 But so shall it not
be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your
minister: 44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be
servant of all. 45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 ¶And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with
his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the
son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47 And when he
heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say,
Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged
him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great
deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still,
and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying
unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 50 And he,
casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus
answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto
thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my
sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made
thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed
Jesus in the way.
