O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

Of the Holy place, a public minister, and of the Real Tent, which, the Lord, pitched and not man.

Who, indeed, are rendering divine service, with a glimpse and shadow, of the heavenly things; even as Moses hath received intimation, when about to complete the tent, - For see! saith he - Thou shalt make all things according to the model which hath been pointed out to thee in the mount.

And my habitation shall be over them, And I will become their God,- And they, shall become my people,

Even the first, indeed, therefore, used to have righteous appointments of divine service, even the holy ritual well arranged.

Having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on every side with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the tables of the covenant; But, over-above it, Cherubim of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: - concerning which things, it is not now needful to be speaking, particularly. Now, these things having been thus prepared, into the first tent, indeed, continually do the priests enter, the divine services completing; But, into the second, once for all in the year, only the high-priest, not without blood, which he offered for himself and the ignorances of the people: The Holy Spirit making this evident - that, not yet, hath been manifested, the way through the Holy place, so long as the first tent hath a standing. The which is a similitude for the present season, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, perfect him that rendereth the divine service: - Only as to eatings, and drinkings, and diversified immersions, - righteous-appointments of the flesh, which, until a season of rectifying, are in force. But, when Christ approached, as high-priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made by hand, that is, not of this creation, - Nor yet through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood he entered once for all into the Holy place, age-abiding redemption discovering.

It was indeed therefore necessary for the glimpses of the things in the heavens with these to be purified; but, the heavenly things themselves, with better sacrifices than these. For, not into a Holy place made by hand, entered Christ, - counterpart of the real Holy place ; but, into the heaven itself, now, to be plainly manifested before the face of God in our behalf; -


And, when the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Yahweh smitten us to-day, before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us, out of Shiloh, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, that, when it cometh into our midst, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies. So the people sent to Shiloh, and bare from thence the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim, - and, there, were the two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, namely, Hophni and Phinehas.

Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, - the land, having been subdued before them.

And they arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked of God, and the sons of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first, to fight against the sons of Benjamin? And Yahweh said - Judah, first.

Then said they - Lo! the festival of Yahweh in Shiloh, from year to year, Which Shiloh is on the north of Bethel, towards sunrise, by the highway that goeth up from Bethel, towards Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

So they set up for themselves the graven image of Micah, which he had made, - and let it remain all the days that the house of God was in Shiloh.

For go I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first, - And see what I did to it, because of the wickedness of my people Israel!

Then went up all the sons of Israel, and all the people, and came to Bethel, and wept, and tarried there before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, until the evening, - and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before Yahweh. And the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, - there, being the ark of the covenant of God, in those days;

Therefore will I do to the house Whereon my Name hath been called Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, - Just as I did unto Shiloh;


then shall it be, that unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, thither, shall ye bring in all that I am commanding you, - your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices your tithes and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your chosen vow-offerings which ye shall vow unto Yahweh.

and, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, bringeth it not in, to present as an oblation unto Yahweh, before the habitation of Yahweh, blood, shall be imputed to that man - blood, hath he shed, therefore shall that man be cut off from the midst of his people:

but, unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, - as his habitation, shall ye ask your way, and come in thither; and bring in thither your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, - and your vow-offerings and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;

Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause thine ascending-sacrifice to go up in just any place which thou shalt see; but, in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of thy tribes, there, shalt thou cause thine ascending-sacrifice to go up, and, there, shalt thou do all that I am commanding thee.

And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded, - yea it had brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.

Then the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites, to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the convocation of Israel, - for the tent of testimony?

The tent of witness, was with our fathers in the desert, according as he who was speaking unto Moses, gave instructions, to make it, according to the model which he had seen.


O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

Of the Holy place, a public minister, and of the Real Tent, which, the Lord, pitched and not man.

Enlarge the space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, - Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;

So shall be established, in lovingkindness, a throne, And one shall sit thereon, in truth, in the home of David, - Judging - and seeking justice and speeding righteousness.

And, the holy city, new Jerusalem, saw I coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying - Lo! the tent of God, is with men, and he will tabernacle with them, and, they, shall be, his peoples, and, he, shall be, God with them;

And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, - on the side of the habitation northward, - outside the veil;



Now, Eli, was very old, - but he used to hear all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how they even lay with the women who did service, at the opening of the tent of meeting.

And Korah gathered together against them all the assembly, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, - then appeared the glory of Yahweh, unto all the assembly.

And a pavilion, shall there be For a shade by day, from the heat, - and For a refuge and for a shelter, from storm and from rain.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, - so shalt thou join the curtains one to another, with the clasps, and thus shall the habitation be one.

Then did all the wise-hearted among the workers of the material make the habitation of ten curtains, of fine-twined linen, and blue and purple and crimson, with cherubim the work of the skilful weaver, did he make them. The length of each curtain, was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for each curtain, - one measure, had all the curtains. And he joined the first five curtains, one to another, - and the other five curtains, joined he one to another, read more.
And he made loops of blue upon the border of the first curtain, at the edge of the set, - thus, made he in the border of the other curtain at the edge of the second set: Fifty loops, made he in the first curtain, and fifty loops, made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second set, - the loops being, opposite, one to another. And he made fifty clasps of gold, - and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, and so the habitation became, one.


For, the cloud of Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, - in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.

Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony, - and in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning, Thus, came it to pass continually, the cloud, covered it, - and an appearance of fire, by night;


And thou shalt make a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, - the work of an embroiderer.

And he made a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue and purple and crimson and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer; and the five pillars thereof and their hooks, and he overlaid their capitals and their cross-rods, with gold, but, their five sockets, were of bronze.


O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

For, not into a Holy place made by hand, entered Christ, - counterpart of the real Holy place ; but, into the heaven itself, now, to be plainly manifested before the face of God in our behalf; -

Of the Holy place, a public minister, and of the Real Tent, which, the Lord, pitched and not man.

Who, indeed, are rendering divine service, with a glimpse and shadow, of the heavenly things; even as Moses hath received intimation, when about to complete the tent, - For see! saith he - Thou shalt make all things according to the model which hath been pointed out to thee in the mount.

Even the first, indeed, therefore, used to have righteous appointments of divine service, even the holy ritual well arranged. For a tent was prepared, the first, in which were both the lampstand and the table and the setting forth of the loaves, - the which is called the Holy place; But, after the second veil, a tent, that which is called Most Holy: read more.
Having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on every side with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the tables of the covenant; But, over-above it, Cherubim of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: - concerning which things, it is not now needful to be speaking, particularly. Now, these things having been thus prepared, into the first tent, indeed, continually do the priests enter, the divine services completing; But, into the second, once for all in the year, only the high-priest, not without blood, which he offered for himself and the ignorances of the people: The Holy Spirit making this evident - that, not yet, hath been manifested, the way through the Holy place, so long as the first tent hath a standing. The which is a similitude for the present season, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, perfect him that rendereth the divine service: - Only as to eatings, and drinkings, and diversified immersions, - righteous-appointments of the flesh, which, until a season of rectifying, are in force. But, when Christ approached, as high-priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made by hand, that is, not of this creation, - Nor yet through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood he entered once for all into the Holy place, age-abiding redemption discovering.


And thou shalt hang up the veil under the clasps, - and shalt bring in thither, within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a division for you between the holy place and the most holy.

And he took and placed the testimony within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark, - and placed the propitiatory upon the ark, above; and brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.


but unto Aaron, and unto his sons, shalt thou give oversight, so shall they keep charge of their priesthood, - and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.

And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and the house of thy father with thee, shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, - and, thou, and thy sons with thee, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. Therefore also thy brethren of the tribe of Levi the stem of thy father, bring thou near with thee, and let them be joined unto thee, and let them wait upon thee, - both on thee and on thy sons with thee, before the tent of the testimony.


And it came to pass, on the day when Moses made an end of rearing up the habitation and anointing it, and hallowing it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar, and all the utensils thereof, - both of anointing them, and hallowing them,

And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the habitation and all that was therein, - and hallowed them;

And thou shalt make it an oil for holy anointing, a compounded perfume the work of a perfumer, - an oil for holy anointing, shall it be. And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, - and the ark of the testimony;


So shall they make for me a sanctuary, - and I will make my habitation in their midst:

a continual ascending-sacrifice to your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, where will meet with you, to speak unto thee there. So will I meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be hallowed by my glory.


And thou shalt hang up the veil under the clasps, - and shalt bring in thither, within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a division for you between the holy place and the most holy.

For a tent was prepared, the first, in which were both the lampstand and the table and the setting forth of the loaves, - the which is called the Holy place; But, after the second veil, a tent, that which is called Most Holy: Having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on every side with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the tables of the covenant; read more.
But, over-above it, Cherubim of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: - concerning which things, it is not now needful to be speaking, particularly. Now, these things having been thus prepared, into the first tent, indeed, continually do the priests enter, the divine services completing;


ten cubits, the length of the board, and a cubit and a half cubit the breadth of each board:

ten cubits, the length of each board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board:


And thou shalt make boards for the habitation, - of acacia wood to stand up:

And he made the boards for the habitation, of acacia wood, for standing up:


So then thou shalt make the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, on the south side southwards.

And he made the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, for the south side southwards;


And on the second side of the habitation, towards the north, twenty boards;

And for the second side of the habitation to the north quarter, made he twenty boards;


And thou shalt make a covering, for the tent, of rams skins dyed red, - and a covering of badger's skins, above.

And he made a covering to the tent, of rams skins dyed red, - and a covering of badgers skins, above.


And thou shalt make a covering, for the tent, of rams skins dyed red, - and a covering of badger's skins, above.

And he made a covering to the tent, of rams skins dyed red, - and a covering of badgers skins, above.


So shall they keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tent, - only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary, and unto the altar, shall they not come near, lest they die - both they, and ye.

So shall ye keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, - that there no more be wrath against the sons of Israel.


though, the lamp of God, was not yet to be put out, and, Samuel, was lying down in the temple of Yahweh, where was the ark of God,

And Hannah rose up, after she had eaten in Shiloh, and after she had drunk, - and, Eli the priest, was sitting upon his chair, by the door-post of the temple of Yahweh;


And, the screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer, blue and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, - and, twenty cubits, in length, and the height, according to the breadth, of five cubits, to match the curtains of the court;

And for the gate of the court, a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of an embroiderer, - their pillars four, and their sockets four.


And, the sockets for the pillars, were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver, - and the overlaying of their capitals, was silver, - and, they themselves, were filleted with silver, even all the pillars of the court,

All the pillars of the court round about, to be joined with cross-rods of silver, and their hooks of silver, - and their sockets of bronze,


And they took, from the presence of Moses, all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel had brought in for the work of the holy service to do it, - howbeit, they, brought in unto him yet more free-will offerings, meriting by morning. Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy work, - man by man from his work which, they, were doing; and spake unto Moses, saying, More than enough, are the people bringing in, - more than is needed for the service pertaining to the work; which Yahweh hath commanded to be done. read more.
So Moses gave commandment and they passed a proclamation throughout the camp, saying, Let, neither man nor woman, make any more material for the holy heave-offering. So the people were restrained from bringing in. For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, - and to spare.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they take for me a heave-offering, - of every man whose heart urgeth him, shall ye take my heave-offering. And, this is the heave-offering which ye shall take of them, - gold and silver and bronze; and blue, and purple, and crimson and fine linen, and goats hair; read more.
and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins and acacia wood; oil for giving light, - perfumes for the anointing oil, and for fragrant incense; onyx stones, and setting stones, - for the ephod and for the breastpiece: So shall they make for me a sanctuary, - and I will make my habitation in their midst:

And Moses spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, saying, Take ye from among you, a heave-offering to Yahweh, every one whose heart is willing shall bring it in, even the heave-offering of Yahweh, gold and silver and bronze: and blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and goat's-hair; read more.
and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers skins, and acacia wood; and oil for giving light, and aromatic spices for the anointing oil, and for fragrant incense; and onyx stones and setting stones, for the ephod, and for the breastpiece. And, all the wise-hearted among you, shall come in, that they may make, all that which Yahweh hath commanded: - the habitation, its tent, and its covering, - its clasps its boards, and its bars its pillars, and its sockets: the ark with its staves the propitiatory, and the screening veil; the table with its staves and all its utensils, and the Presence-bread: the lampstand for giving light, with its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for giving light; and the incense altar, with its staves, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense, - and the entrance screen, for the entrance of the habitation; the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and the bronze grating which pertaineth thereto, its stoves and all its utensils, the laver and its stand; the hangings for the court, its pillars and its sockets, - and the screen for the gate of the court: the pins of the habitation, and the pins of the court, and their cords; the cloths of variegated stuff for ministering in the sanctuary, - the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for ministering as priests. So all the assembly of the sons of Israel went forth from the presence of Moses; and they brought in - every man whose heart lifted him up, - and, every one whose spirit made him willing, brought in the heave-offering of Yahweh, for the construction of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. Yea they brought in - the men with the women, - all who were willing-hearted, brought in - bracelets and nose-ornaments and rings, and buckles, all manner of jewels of gold, even every man who waved a wave-offering of gold unto Yahweh.

Every one who would heave a heave-offering of silver or bronze, brought in the heave-offering of Yahweh, - and, every one with whom was found acacia wood for any construction for the service, brought it in.

And thou shalt make curtains of goat's hair, for a tent, over the habitation - eleven curtains, shalt thou make them.

Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, - the land, having been subdued before them.

And he made him houses, in the city of David, - and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

Howbeit, the ark of God, had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim, into the place that David had prepared for it, - for he had pitched for it a tent, in Jerusalem.

So they brought in the ark of God, and placed it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it, - and they brought near ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before God. And, when David had made an end of offering the ascending-sacrifices, and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people, in the name of Yahweh.

And it came to pass, on the day when Moses made an end of rearing up the habitation and anointing it, and hallowing it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar, and all the utensils thereof, - both of anointing them, and hallowing them,

So will I meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be hallowed by my glory.

And Moses said unto the sons of Israel - See!

So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh, - in the tent of the testimony. And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded, - yea it had brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.

Then the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites, to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the convocation of Israel, - for the tent of testimony?


These, are the details of the habitation - the habitation of testimony, which were detailed at the bidding of Moses, - the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

But do, thou thyself, put the Levites in charge over the habitation of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof and over all that pertaineth thereto, they, shall bear the habitation, and all the furniture thereof, and they, shall attend thereupon; and, round about the habitation, shall they encamp.


And, Moses, proceeded to take a tent, and pitch it by itself outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and he called it, The Tent of Meeting, - and so it came to pass that whosoever was seeking Yahweh went out unto the tent of meeting, which was on the outside of the camp.

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of the Levites. This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, - Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden; but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die. reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, - by their ancestral house by their families; from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, - All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting. This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, - in labouring and in bearing: they shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers skin which is over above it, - and the screen, at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour, At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall he all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, - so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden. This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, - and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest. As for the sons of Merari, - by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them; from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, - all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting, And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the ten of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof: and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets anti their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens. This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, - in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.

So Moses took the waggons, and the oxen, - and gave them unto the Levites: two of the waggons and four of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Gershon, - according to the need of their laborious work; and four of the waggons, and eight of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Merari, - according to the need of their laborious work, in the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest; read more.

Then came David to Nob, unto Ahimelech, the priest, - and Ahimelech trembled when he met David, and said unto him - Why art thou, alone, and, no man, with thee?

Now, therefore, what is there under thy hand? Five loaves, give thou into my hand, - or, whatever can be found. read more.
And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, - but, hallowed bread, there is, if the young men have kept themselves, at least from women. And David answered the priest and said to him - Of a truth, women, have been withheld from us, of late, through my coming out, and the wallets of the young men have become hallowed, - while the bread , itself, is in a manner common, and the more so since, to-day, there are other loaves to be hallowed, in the vessel. So the priest gave him hallowed bread , - because there was there no bread, save the Presence-Bread, which had to be removed from before Yahweh, to put hot bread, on the day when it should be taken away.


and, the altar of ascending-sacrifice, put he at the entrance of the habitation of the tent of meeting, - and he caused to ascend thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.

And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain; read more.

And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers skin, - and shall put in the staves thereof, And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers skin, - and put them on a frame.

then shall it be, that unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, thither, shall ye bring in all that I am commanding you, - your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices your tithes and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your chosen vow-offerings which ye shall vow unto Yahweh. So shall ye rejoice before Yahweh your God, Ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your servants and your handmaids, - and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath neither portion nor inheritance with you.

Go and say unto my servant - unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh, - Shalt, thou, build me a house, for me to dwell in; seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, - but have been wandering in a tent as my habitation?

And Yahweh must tell thee that, a house, will Yahweh make for thee. And it shall be that, when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, which proceedeth from thine own body, - and I will establish his kingdom. He, shall build a house for my name, - and I will establish his kingly throne unto times age-abiding:
