King James Version
1. He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood; five cubits was its length and five cubits its width–– it was square––and its height was three cubits. 2. He made its horns on its four corners; the horns were of one piece with it. And he overlaid it with bronze. 3. He made all the utensils for the altar: the pans, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils he made of bronze. 4. And he made a grate of bronze network for the altar, under its rim, midway from the bottom. 5. He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles. 6. And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. 7. Then he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it. He made the altar hollow with boards. 8. He made the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 9. Then he made the court on the south side; the hangings of the court were of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long. 10. There were twenty pillars for them, with twenty bronze sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 11. On the north side the hangings were one hundred cubits long , with twenty pillars and their twenty bronze sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 12. And on the west side there were hangings of fifty cubits, with ten pillars and their ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 13. For the east side the hangings were fifty cubits. 14. The hangings of one side of the gate were fifteen cubits long, with their three pillars and their three sockets, 15. and the same for the other side of the court gate; on this side and that were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets. 16. All the hangings of the court all around were of fine woven linen. 17. The sockets for the pillars were bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver, and the overlay of their capitals was silver; and all the pillars of the court had bands of silver. 18. The screen for the gate of the court was woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread , and of fine woven linen. The length was twenty cubits, and the height along its width was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the court. 19. And there were four pillars with their four sockets of bronze; their hooks were silver, and the overlay of their capitals and their bands was silver. 20. All the pegs of the tabernacle, and of the court all around, were bronze. 21. This is the inventory of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the Testimony, which was counted according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest. 22. Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD had commanded Moses. 23. And with him was Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer, a weaver of blue, purple, and scarlet thread , and of fine linen. 24. All the gold that was used in all the work of the holy place , that is, the gold of the offering, was twenty–nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. 25. And the silver from those who were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred and seventy–five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary: 26. a bekah for each man ( that is , half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone included in the numbering from twenty years old and above, for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men . 27. And from the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil: one hundred sockets from the hundred talents, one talent for each socket. 28. Then from the one thousand seven hundred and seventy–five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made bands for them. 29. The offering of bronze was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels. 30. And with it he made the sockets for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, and all the utensils for the altar, 31. the sockets for the court all around, the bases for the court gate, all the pegs for the tabernacle, and all the pegs for the court all around.
1. <> The Mighty One, God the LORD, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down. 0. 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. 3. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. 4. He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people: 5. "Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice." 6. Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah 7. "Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God! 8. I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices Or your burnt offerings, Which are continually before Me. 9. I will not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your folds. 10. For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. 11. I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine. 12. "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness. 13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats? 14. Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High. 15. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." 16. But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, 17. Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you? 18. When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers. 19. You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. 20. You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. 21. These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes. 22. "Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver: 23. Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God."
16. Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols. 17. Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there. 18. Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. 19. And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak? 20. "For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean." 21. For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing. 22. Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23. "for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24. "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25. "Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26. "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27. "so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28. "for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29. "Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30. "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31. "because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead." 32. And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter ." 33. So Paul departed from among them. 34. However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
