Exodus 27-28, Matthew 21:1-22(King James Version)

Exodus 27

   1And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits.

   2And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with brass.

   3And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.

   4And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.

   5And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

   6And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.

   7And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.

   8Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.

   9And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for one side:

   10And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

   11And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and his twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

   12And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

   13And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.

   14The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

   15And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

   16And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four.

   17All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.

   18The length of the court shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.

   19All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass.

   20And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.

   21In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.

Exodus 28

   1And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

   2And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.

   3And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

   4And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

   5And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

   6And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.

   7It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.

   8And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

   9And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:

   10Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

   11With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

   12And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

   13And thou shalt make ouches of gold;

   14And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.

   15And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.

   16Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.

   17And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.

   18And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

   19And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

   20And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

   21And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.

   22And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold.

   23And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

   24And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.

   25And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.

   26And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.

   27And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

   28And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

   29And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.

   30And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.

   31And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

   32And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.

   33And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:

   34A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.

   35And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

   36And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

   37And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

   38And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

   39And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.

   40And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

   41And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.

   42And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:

   43And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.


Matthew 21

   1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

   2Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

   3And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

   4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

   5Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

   6And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

   7And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

   8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

   9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

   10And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

   11And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

   12And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

   13And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

   14And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

   15And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

   16And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

   17And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

   18Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

   19And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

   20And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

   21Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

   22And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
