'House' in the Bible

And six boards for the back of the House on the west,

With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

And outside the veil you are to put the table, and the support for the lights opposite the table on the south side of the House; and the table is to be on the north side.

And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

Take the first-fruits of your land as an offering to the house of the Lord your God. Let not the young goat be cooked in its mother's milk

The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;

And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;

The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;

Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.

And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.

They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:

And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,

And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,

And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,

And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west.

All the nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.

This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

And the bases for the open space all round and for its doorway, and all the nails for the House and for the open space.

So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it.

Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting;

On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.

And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:

So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

Moses put up the House; placing its bases in position and lifting up its uprights, putting in the rods and planting the pillars in their places;

And he took the ark into the House, hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.

And he put up the curtain at the doorway of the House.

And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.

Then the cloud came down covering the Tent of meeting, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord;

So that Moses was not able to go into the Tent of meeting, because the cloud was resting on it, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord.

And whenever the cloud was taken up from the House, the children of Israel went forward on their journey:

For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.

And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy.

And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire.

When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,

Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.

And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.

And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.

And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.

And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;

And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread.

But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean.

And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;

And Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself, to make himself and his house free from sin.

And Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself and take away sin from himself and his house, and put to death the ox of the sin-offering which is for himself.

And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin.

And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:

No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.

But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.

But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.

And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.

And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee.

And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.

And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust.

And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.

And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his.

And to give you help, take one man from every tribe, the head of his father's house.

And they got together all the people on the first day of the second month; and everyone made clear his family and his father's house, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and over.

In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;

And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.

The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.

In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,

And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, and all the cords needed for its use.

The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.

The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.

And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.

And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;

And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.

And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;

And when Moses had put up the House completely, and had put oil on it and made it holy, with all the things in it, and had made the altar and all its vessels holy with oil;

And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.

When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.

Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.

Then the Kohathites went forward with the holy place; the others put up the House ready for their coming.

My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for them;

Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.

Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.
