Then the  ¹Pharisees went and took counsel how they might ensnare Him in His words.

And they sent to Him their disciples with the  ¹Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that You are true and that You teach the way of God in truth and  ²do not fear anyone, for You do not  ³regard the person of men.

Tell us therefore, What do You think?  ¹Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, Why do you tempt Me,  ¹hypocrites?

 ¹Show Me the coin for the tribute. And they brought to Him a  ²denarius.

And He said to them, Whose is this image and inscription?

They said, Caesar's. Then He said to them, Render then the  ¹things that are Caesar's to Caesar and the  ²things that are God's to God.

And when they heard this, they marveled. And they left Him and went away.

On that day some  ¹Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to Him and questioned Him,

Saying, Teacher, Moses said, If anyone dies and does not have children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife and raise up seed to his brother.

Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first married and died, and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother;

Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh.

And last of all the woman died.

In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.

And Jesus answered and said to them, You err, not  ¹knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

“I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob”? He is not the God of the dead, but of the  ¹living.

And when the crowds heard this, they were astounded at His teaching.

But the Pharisees, when they heard that He had muzzled the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

And one of them, a  ¹lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,

Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God  ¹with all your heart and  ¹with all your soul and  ¹with all your mind.”

This is the great and first commandment.

And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

On these  ¹two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them,

Saying, What do you think concerning the  ¹Christ? Whose son is He? They said to Him, David's.

He said to them, How then does David in  ¹spirit call Him Lord, saying,

“The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies underneath Your feet”?

If then David calls Him  ¹Lord, how is He his  ¹son?

And  ¹no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone from that day dare to question Him anymore.

Then He said to Moses,  ¹Come up to Jehovah, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship at a distance.

And Moses alone shall come near to Jehovah, but they shall not come near, nor shall the people come up with him.

And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said,  ¹All the words which Jehovah has spoken we will do.

And Moses wrote down all the words of Jehovah. And he rose up early in the morning and built an  ¹altar at the base of the mountain and twelve  ²pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered  ¹burnt offerings and sacrificed  ¹peace offerings of bulls to Jehovah.

And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said,  ¹All that Jehovah has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.

So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the  ¹people and said, Here is the  ²blood of the covenant, which Jehovah has made with you in accordance with all these words.

Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

And they  ¹saw the God of Israel, and under His feet there was something like a  ²paved work of sapphire, even like heaven itself for clearness.

And He did not stretch out His hand upon the nobles of the children of Israel. And they  ¹beheld God and ate and drank.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to Me at the top of the mountain, and be there; and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and the commandment, which I have inscribed for their instruction.

And  ¹Moses rose up with Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up to the top of the mountain of God.

And he had said to the elders, Wait here for us until we return to you. Both Aaron and Hur are here with you; whoever has a cause, let him come near to them.

And Moses went up to the top of the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

And the glory of Jehovah settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes of the children of Israel.

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain  ¹forty days and forty nights.

 ¹Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Tell the children of Israel to take for Me a  ¹heave offering. From every man whose heart makes him willing you shall take My heave offering.

And this is the heave offering which you shall take from them:  ¹gold and silver and bronze,

And  ¹blue and purple and scarlet strands, and  ²fine linen, and  ³goats' hair,

And  ¹rams' skins dyed red, and  ²porpoise skins, and  ³acacia wood,

 ¹Oil for the light,  ²spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

Onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

And let them make a sanctuary for Me that I may dwell in their midst;

According to all that I show you, the  ¹pattern of the  ²tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, even so shall you make it.

And they shall make an  ¹ark of  ²acacia wood:  ³two and a half cubits shall be its length; and  ³one and a half cubits, its width; and  ³one and a half cubits, its height.

And you shall overlay it with pure  ¹gold; inside and outside you shall overlay it; and you shall make a  ²rim of gold upon it all around.

And you shall cast four  ¹rings of gold for it, and put them on its four feet; and two  ²rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

And you shall make  ¹poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

And you shall  ¹put the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark to carry the Ark with them.

The poles shall be in the rings of the Ark; they shall not be taken from it.

And you shall  ¹put into the Ark the Testimony which I will give you.

And you shall make an  ¹expiation cover of pure gold:  ²two and a half cubits shall be its length, and  ²one and a half cubits, its width.

And you shall make two  ¹cherubim of gold; of beaten work you shall make them, at the two ends of the expiation cover.

And make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; of  ¹one piece with the expiation cover you shall make the cherubim on its two ends.

And the cherubim shall spread out their  ¹wings above the cover, covering the expiation cover with their wings, with their  ¹faces toward one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the expiation cover.

And you shall  ¹put the expiation cover upon the Ark above it, and into the Ark you shall  ²put the Testimony that I will give you.

And there I will  ¹meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the expiation cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, of everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

And you shall make a  ¹table of  ²acacia wood:  ³two cubits shall be its length, and a cubit its width, and  ⁴one and a half cubits its height.

And you shall overlay it with pure gold and make a  ¹rim of gold around it.

And you shall make a  ¹frame of a handbreadth around it; and you shall make a  ¹rim of gold for its frame around it.

And you shall make for it four  ¹rings of gold and put the rings on the four corners that are on its four feet.

The rings shall be close to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.

And you shall make the  ¹poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table shall be carried with them.

And you shall make its  ¹plates and its cups and its pitchers and its bowls with which to pour out drink offerings; of pure gold you shall make them.

And you shall set the  ¹bread of the  ²Presence upon the table before Me always.

And you shall make a  ¹lampstand of  ²pure gold. The lampstand with its  ³base and its  ³shaft shall be made of  ⁴beaten work; its  ⁵cups, its  ⁵calyxes, and its  ⁵blossom buds shall be of one piece with it.

And there shall be  ¹six branches going out of its sides;  ¹three branches of the lampstand out of one of its sides, and  ¹three branches of the lampstand out of its other side;

 ¹Three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a calyx and a blossom bud; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a calyx and a blossom bud — so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

And there shall be on the lampstand  ¹four cups made like almond blossoms, its calyxes and its blossom buds;

And a  ¹calyx under two branches of one piece with it, and a calyx under two branches of one piece with it, and a calyx under two branches of one piece with it, for the  ²six branches going out of the lampstand.

Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

And you shall make its lamps,  ¹seven; and set up its lamps to give  ²light to the area in front of it.

And its tongs and its firepans shall be of pure gold.

It shall be made of a  ¹talent of pure gold, with all these utensils.

And see that you make them according to their pattern, which was shown to you in the mountain.

Now the  ¹tabernacle you shall make with ten curtains of  ²fine twined linen and  ³blue and purple and scarlet strands; you shall make them with  ⁴cherubim, the work of a  ⁵skillful workman.

The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain, four cubits; all the curtains shall have the same measurement.

 ¹Five curtains shall be joined to one another; and the other  ¹five curtains shall be joined to one another.

And you shall make  ¹loops of blue strands on the edge of the one curtain at the end in the set; and likewise you shall make them in the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.

You shall make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one another.

And you shall make fifty  ¹clasps of gold, and join the curtains to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may become one.

And you shall make curtains of  ¹goats' hair for a  ²tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains you shall make in all.

The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain, four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have the same measurement.

And you shall join five of the curtains by themselves and six of the curtains by themselves, and you shall double the sixth curtain over at the front of the tent.

And you shall make fifty  ¹loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outermost in the set, and fifty  ¹loops upon the edge of the curtain which is outermost in the second set.

And you shall make fifty  ¹clasps of bronze and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together, so that it may become one.

And the  ¹overlapping part that is left over of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

And the  ¹cubit on the one side and the cubit on the other side, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and on that side, to cover it.

And you shall make a covering for the tent, of  ¹rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of  ²porpoise skins above it.

And you shall make the  ¹boards for the tabernacle of  ²acacia wood, standing up.

Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and  ¹one and a half cubits, the width of each board.

Each board shall have two  ¹tenons, joined to one another; thus you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle.

And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle,  ¹twenty boards for the south side southward.

And you shall make forty  ¹sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under the  ²next board for its two tenons.

And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards;

And their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board.

And for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.

And two boards you shall make for the corners of the tabernacle in the rear.

And they shall be  ¹double below, and at its top they shall be completely joined to a single ring; thus it shall be for both of them; they shall be for the two corners.

And there shall be  ¹eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board.

And you shall make  ¹bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward.

And the middle bar shall  ¹pass through in the center of the boards from end to end.

And you shall overlay the boards with  ¹gold, and make their  ²rings of gold as holders for the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

And you shall set up the tabernacle according to its plan, which you were shown in the mountain.
