12 February - Exodus 39-40

Jude Sat Dec 01, 2018 3:37 am

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

EXODUS 39

1And of the blue and purple and scarlet material they made woven garments, to do service in the set-apart place. And they made the set-apart garments which were for Aharon, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

2And he made the shoulder garment of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen.

3And they beat out sheets of gold and cut it into threads, to work it in with the blue and purple and scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skilled workman.

4They made shoulder pieces for it to join it, it was joined at its two edges.

5And the embroidered band of his shoulder garment that was on it was of the same work of gold, and blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

6And they made the shoham stones, set in plated work of gold, engraved as signets are engraved, according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl.

7And he put them on the shoulders of the shoulder garment, stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

8And he made the breastplate, a work of a skilled workman, like the work of the shoulder garment, of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen.

9It was square, they made the breastplate double, its length a span, its width a span, doubled.

10And they filled it with four rows of stones: a row of ruby, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row;

11and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13and the fourth row a beryl, a shoham, and a jasper – set in plated work of gold in their settings.

14And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes.

15And they made braided chains of corded work for the breastplate at the ends, of clean gold.

16And they made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18And the two ends of the two cords they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment in the front.

19And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was on the inward side of the shoulder garment.

20And they made two gold rings and put them on the two shoulder pieces, underneath the shoulder garment, on the front of it, close to its seam above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment.

21And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the shoulder garment with a blue cord, so that it would be above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the shoulder garment, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

22And he made the robe of the shoulder garment of woven work, all of blue.

23And the opening of the robe was in the middle, like the opening in a scaled armour, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear.

24And they made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, twined.

25And they made bells of clean gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between the pomegranates:

26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, for the service, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

27And they made the long shirt of fine linen, the work of a weaver, for Aharon and his sons,

28and a turban of fine linen, and the turban ornaments of fine linen, and short trousers of fine woven linen,

29and a girdle of fine woven linen with blue and purple and scarlet material, the work of an embroiderer, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

30And they made the plate of the set-apart sign of dedication of clean gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet: SET-APARTNESS TO יהוה.

31And they put on it a blue cord, to fasten it above on the turban, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

32And all the work of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting was completed. And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to all that יהוה had commanded Mosheh, so they did.

33And they brought the Dwelling Place to Mosheh, the tent and all its furnishings, its hooks, its boards, its bars, and its columns, and its sockets,

34and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering,

35the ark of the Witness with its poles, and the lid of atonement,

36the table, and all its utensils, and the showbread,

37the clean lampstand with its lamps, the lamps to be put in order, and all its utensils, and the oil for light,

38and the altar of gold, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the covering for the Tent door,

39the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin with its stand,

42According to all that יהוה had commanded Mosheh, so the children of Yisra’ĕl did all the work.

43And Mosheh looked over all the work and saw they did it as יהוה had commanded, so they had done. And Mosheh blessed them.

EXODUS 40

1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

2“On the first day of the first month, you are to raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

3and shall put in it the ark of the Witness, and screen the ark with the veil.

4“And you shall bring in the table and arrange what belongs on it, and bring in the lampstand and light its lamps.

5“And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the Witness, and put up the covering of the door to the Dwelling Place.

6“And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

7and shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.

8“And you shall set up the courtyard all around, and shall place the covering of the courtyard gate,

9and shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the Dwelling Place and all that is in it, and shall set it and all its utensils apart, and it shall be set-apart.

10“And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its utensils, and set the altar apart, and the altar shall be most set-apart.

11“And you shall anoint the basin and its stand, and set it apart.

12“And you shall bring Aharon and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

13“And you shall put the set-apart garments on Aharon, and anoint him and set him apart to serve as priest to Me.

14“And you shall bring his sons and put long shirts on them,

15and shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, and they shall serve as priests to Me. And their anointing shall be for them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”

16And Mosheh did according to all that יהוה had commanded him, so he did.

17And it came to be in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the Dwelling Place was raised up.

18And Mosheh raised up the Dwelling Place and placed its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its columns,

19and spread the tent over the Dwelling Place and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

20And he took the Witness and put it into the ark, and he put the poles through the rings of the ark, and put the lid of atonement on top of the ark,

21and brought the ark into the Dwelling Place, and placed the veil of the covering to screen off the ark of the Witness, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

22And he put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the Dwelling Place, outside the veil,

23and set the bread in order upon it before יהוה, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

24And he put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the Dwelling Place,

25and lit the lamps before יהוה, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

26And he put the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting in front of the veil,

27and burned sweet incense on it, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

28And he set up the covering to the door of the Dwelling Place.

29And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

30And he put the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein for washing.

31And Mosheh, and Aharon, and his sons washed their hands and their feet with water from it,

32as they went into the Tent of Meeting, and as they came near the altar. They would wash, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

33And he raised up the courtyard all around the Dwelling Place and the altar, and placed the covering of the courtyard gate. And Mosheh completed the work.

34And the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the esteem of יהוה filled the Dwelling Place.

35And Mosheh was not able to come into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud dwelt on it, and the esteem of יהוה filled the Dwelling Place.

36And when the cloud was taken up from above the Dwelling Place, the children of Yisra’ĕl went onward in all their journeys.

37But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up.

38For the cloud of יהוה was on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire was on it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Yisra’ĕl, in all their journeys.
