27:4 And thou shalt make for it a grating of network of brass: and upon the net shalt thou make four brazen rings in the four corners thereof.

27:20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
27:21 In the tent of meeting, without the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah: it shall be a statute for ever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.

Psalm 62

62:1 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him cometh my salvation.
62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
62:3 How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
62:4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah
62:5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.
62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
62:7 With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
62:8 Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. [Selah
62:9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.
62:10 Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
62:11 God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.
62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Mark 1:1-13

1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1:2 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way;
1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;
1:4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.
1:5 And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
1:6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.
1:7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
1:8 I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.
1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
1:11 and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
1:12 And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.
1:13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
