Woe on Scribes and Pharisees (continuation)
23 Woe unto you (Judgment is coming to you), scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye (you) pay tithe (a tenth) of mint and anise (dill) and cummin, and have omitted (leave out / exclude) the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye (you) to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
(NOTE: scribes (noun – plural of scribe) = Jewish learned leaders trained to write and teach the Torah, the law of God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah))
(NOTE: Pharisees (proper noun – plural of Pharisee) = a Jewish group that separated from other Jews and followed strictly the oral law of the Old Testament in ancient Judaism. They separated themselves from impurity and opposed the Messiah / the Son of the Almighty Creator / Yahusha ha’Mashiach (the original name of Jesus Christ in the Hebrew language) and argued with Him very often)
24 Ye (You) blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
(NOTE: gnat (noun) = A small two-winged fly that resembles a mosquito. Gnats include both biting and nonbiting forms, and they typically form large swarms)
25 Woe unto you (Judgment is coming to you), scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye (you) make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter (plate), but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou (You) blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you (Judgment is coming to you), scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye (you) are like unto whited sepulchres (whitewashed tombs), which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye (you) also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye (you) are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (immoral or grossly unfair behavior).
(NOTE: hypocrisy (noun) = a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess)
29 Woe unto you (Judgment is coming to you), scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye (you) build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish (decorate) the sepulchres (monuments) of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves (Therefore you testify against yourselves), that ye (you) are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye (you) up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye (You) serpents, ye (you) generation of vipers (Vipera berus; a poisonous snake), how can ye (you) escape the damnation (penalty) of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye (you) shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye (you) scourge (whip as a punishment) in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew (you killed) between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily (Truly) I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou (you) that killest (killed) the prophets, and stonest (stoned) them which are sent unto thee (you), how often would I have gathered thy (your) children together, even as a hen gathereth (gathers) her chickens under her wings, and ye (you) would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate [completely abandoned by God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) and destitute of His protection!].
39 For I say unto you, Ye (You) shall not see me henceforth, till ye (you) shall say, Blessed is he that cometh (comes) in the name of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

Garments of the Priests
39 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
The Ephod
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
The Girdle
5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
6 And they wrought (worked) onyx stones inclosed (enclosed) in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
The Breastplate
8 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
The Robe of the Ephod
22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.

27 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, Holiness To The Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) .
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
The Tabernacle Work Completed
32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses, so did they.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
34 And the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers’ skins, and the vail of the covering,
35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

42 According to all that the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

The Instructions for the Tabernacle
40 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) spake unto (spoke to) Moses, saying,
2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou (shall you) set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 And thou shalt (you shall) put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 And thou shalt (you shall) bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt (you shall) bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
5 And thou shalt (you shall) set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
6 And thou shalt (you shall) set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7 And thou shalt (you shall) set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt (shall) put water therein.
8 And thou shalt (you shall) set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

9 And thou shalt (you shall) take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt (shall) hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 And thou shalt (you shall) anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11 And thou shalt (you shall) anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
Aaron and Sons Anointed
12 And thou shalt (you shall) bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 And thou shalt (you shall) put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
14 And thou shalt (you shall) bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 And thou shalt (you shall) anoint them, as thou didst (you did) anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded him, so did he.
Setting Up the Tabernacle
17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) had commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 And he lighted the lamps before the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded Moses.
28 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses.
33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
The Glory of the LORD (ADONAI)
34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

⬇ transliterated
into Greek as Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς)
