Exodus 38

38:1 And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
38:2 And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with brass.
38:3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
38:4 And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge round it beneath, reaching halfway up.
38:5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves.
38:6 And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass.
38:7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, wherewith to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.
38:8 And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the ministering women that ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.
38:9 And he made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;
38:10 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
38:11 And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.
38:12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.
38:13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
38:14 The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three;
38:15 and so for the other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
38:16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
38:17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals, of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
38:18 And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
38:19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver.
38:20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
38:21 This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
38:22 And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah commanded Moses.
38:23 And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.
38:24 All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
38:25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
38:26 a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
38:27 And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
38:28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them.
38:29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
38:30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
38:31 and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

Psalm 68:21-35

68:21 But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea;
68:23 That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.
68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
68:25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel.
68:27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah and their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee.
68:30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.
68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.
68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord;[Selah
68:33 To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.
68:35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Mark 4:1-20

4:1 And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.
4:2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,
4:3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
4:4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.
4:5 And other fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:
4:6 and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
4:7 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
4:8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
4:9 And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
4:10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.
4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:
4:12 that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.
4:13 And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?
4:14 The sower soweth the word.
4:15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.
4:16 And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;
4:17 and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
4:18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
4:19 and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
4:20 And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
