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 behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill, so that they may make everything that I have commanded you:

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

I have also selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be with him. I have placed wisdom within every skilled craftsman in order to 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:

‘ All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded:

So you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.

“ And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver— those who do every work and those who design artistic works.“ And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.”

After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said,“ Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

All the women who were gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.And all the women whose hearts stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair.

Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

Then the prophet Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.So Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said:“ Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: 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 Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east.And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw— like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.And the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me.And He said to me,“ Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.“ Son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and perform them.This is the law of the temple: The whole area surrounding the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.“ These are the measurements of the altar in cubits( the cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar:from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits; the width of the ledge, one cubit; from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits; and the width of the ledge, one cubit.The altar hearth is four cubits high, with four horns extending upward from the hearth.The altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, square at its four corners;the ledge, fourteen cubits long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it; its base, one cubit all around; and its steps face toward the east.”And He said to me,“ Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD:‘ These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.You shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,’ says the Lord GOD.‘ You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and burn it in the appointed place of the temple, outside the sanctuary.On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram from the flock without blemish.When you offer them before the Lord, the priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.Every day for seven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish.Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and so consecrate it.When these days are over it shall be, on the eighth day and thereafter, that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar; and I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:“ Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the children of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ house,from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.“ This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of meeting, relating to the most holy things:When the camp prepares to journey, Aaron and his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.Then they shall put on it a covering of badger skins, and spread over that a cloth entirely of blue; and they shall insert its poles.“ On the table of showbread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the pans, the bowls, and the pitchers for pouring; and the showbread shall be on it.They shall spread over them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles.And they shall take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand of the light, with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all its oil vessels, with which they service it.Then they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of badger skins, and put it on a carrying beam.“ Over the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles.Then they shall take all the utensils of service with which they minister in the sanctuary, put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of badger skins, and put them on a carrying beam.Also they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it.They shall put on it all its implements with which they minister there— the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the basins, and all the utensils of the altar— and they shall spread on it a covering of badger skins, and insert its poles.And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is set to go, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die.“ These are the things in the tabernacle of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.“ The appointed duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the daily grain offering, the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, of all that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:“ Do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;but do this in regard to them, that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint each of them to his service and his task.But they shall not go in to watch while the holy things are being covered, lest they die.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:“ Also take a census of the sons of Gershon, by their fathers’ house, by their families.From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, all who enter to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and carrying:They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tabernacle of meeting with its covering, the covering of badger skins that is on it, the screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting,the screen for the door of the gate of the court, the hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and altar, and their cords, all the furnishings for their service and all that is made for these things: so shall they serve.“ Aaron and his sons shall assign all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, all their tasks and all their service. And you shall appoint to them all their tasks as their duty.This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of meeting. And their duties shall be under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.“ As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families and by their fathers’ house.From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting.And this is what they must carry as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,and the pillars around the court with their sockets, pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings and all their service; and you shall assign to each man by name the items he must carry.This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”And Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families and by their fathers’ house,from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting;and those who were numbered by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.These were the ones who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.And those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families and by their fathers’ house,from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting—those who were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ house, were two thousand six hundred and thirty.These are the ones who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord.Those of the families of the sons of Merari who were numbered, by their families, by their fathers’ house,from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting—those who were numbered by their families were three thousand two hundred.These are the ones who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered, by their families and by their fathers’ houses,from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who came to do the work of service and the work of bearing burdens in the tabernacle of meeting—those who were numbered were eight thousand five hundred and eighty.According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, each according to his service and according to his task; thus were they numbered by him, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Now Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits( by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits.And the vestibule that was in front of the sanctuary was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the height was one hundred and twenty. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.

These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said,“ Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.”

Then Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it.And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it.He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.He also made the mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits was its length and a cubit and a half its width.He made two cherubim of beaten gold; he made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat:one cherub at one end on this side, and the other cherub at the other end on that side. He made the cherubim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.The cherubim spread out their wings above, and covered the mercy seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.He made the table of acacia wood; two cubits was its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height.And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold all around it.Also he made a frame of a handbreadth all around it, and made a molding of gold for the frame all around it.And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs.The rings were close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table.And he made the poles of acacia wood to bear the table, and overlaid them with gold.He made of pure gold the utensils which were on the table: its dishes, its cups, its bowls, and its pitchers for pouring.He also made the lampstand of pure gold; of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and its flowers were of the same piece.And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower— and so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower.There was a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches extending from it.Their knobs and their branches were of one piece; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold.And he made its seven lamps, its wick-trimmers, and its trays of pure gold.Of a talent of pure gold he made it, with all its utensils.He made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit and its width a cubit— it was square— and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it.And he overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides all around, and its horns. He also made for it a molding of gold all around it.He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, by its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to bear it.And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.Now the house which King Solomon built for the Lord, its length was sixty cubits, its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.The vestibule in front of the sanctuary of the house was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the width of the vestibule extended ten cubits from the front of the house.And he made for the house windows with beveled frames.Against the wall of the temple he built chambers all around, against the walls of the temple, all around the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. Thus he made side chambers all around it.The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the temple, so that the support beams would not be fastened into the walls of the temple.And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.The doorway for the middle story was on the right side of the temple. They went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.

Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them.

Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.
