And thou shalt make an altar of sethim wood: five cubits long and five cubits broad, that it be foursquare, and three cubits high. And make it horns proceeding out in the four corners of it, and cover it with brass. And make his ashpans, shovels, basins, fleshhooks, firepans and all the apparel thereof, of brass and thou shalt make a grid iron also like a net, of brass: upon whose four corners shall be four brass rings: and the grid shall reach unto the midst of the altar. And thou shall make staves for the altar of sethim wood, and cover them with brass, and let them be put in rings along by the sides of the altar, to bear it withal. And make the altar hollow with boards: even as it was shewed thee in the mount, so let them make it.
And thou shalt make a court unto the habitation, which shall have in the south side hangings of twined byss, being an hundred cubits long, and twenty pillars thereof, with their twenty sockets of brass: but the knobs of the pillars and their hoops shall be silver. In like wise on the north side there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long and twenty pillars with their sockets of brass, and the knobs and the hoops of silver. And in the breadth of the court westward, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits long, and ten pillars with their ten sockets. And in the breadth of the court eastward toward the rising of the *son, shall be hangings of fifty cubits. Hangings of fifteen cubits in the one side of it with three pillars, and three sockets: and likewise on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits with three pillars and three sockets.
And in the gate of the court shall be a veil of twenty cubits: of jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined byss wrought with needle work, and four pillars with their four sockets. All the pillars round about the court shall be hooped with silver, and their knobs of silver, and their sockets of brass. The length of the court, shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty, and the height five, and the hangings shall be of twined byss and the sockets of brass. And all the vessels of the habitation to all manner service and the pins thereof: yea and the pins also of the court, shall be brass.
And command the children of Israel that they give the pure oil olive beaten for the lights to pour always into the lamps. In the tabernacle of witness without the veil which is before the witness: And Aaron and his sons shall dress it both even and morning before the Lord: And it shall be a duty for ever unto your generations after you: to be given of the children of Israel*son ; exactly as it appeared in the text; else where "sun" is show as "sunne"
And Hannah prayed and said: mine heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is high in the Lord and my mouth is wide open over mine enemies, for I rejoice in thy saving. There is none so holy as the Lord: no there is none save thou. Neither is there any strength like unto our God. Talk not too much proudly: let old things depart out of your mouths, for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and Judgeth the thoughts. The *bones of the strong are broken: and the weak are endued with strength. They that were full, have hired out themselves for bread, and they that were hungry cease so to be: insomuch that the barren hath borne seven, and she that had many children is waxed feeble.
The Lord killeth and maketh alive, bringeth down to hell and fetcheth up again. The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich, bringeth low, and heaveth up on high. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill: to set them among princes, and to inherit them with the seat of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lords, and he hath set the round world upon them. He will keep the feet of his saints but the wicked shall keep silence in darkness. For in his own might shall no man be strong. The Lords adversaries shall be made to fear him: and out of heaven he shall thunder upon them. The Lord shall judge the ends of the world, and shall give might unto his King, and exalt the horn of his anointed. And Elkanah went to Ramath to his house, and the lad did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
But the sons of Eli were unthrifty children and knew not the Lord. For the manner of the priests with the people was, whensoever any man offered any offerings the priests lad came, while the flesh was in seething, and a flesh hook with three teeth in his hand, and thrust it into the pan, kettle, cauldron or pot. And all that the flesh hook brought up the priest took away. And so they did unto all Israel that came thither to Siloh. Yee: and thereto before they had offered the fat, the priests lad came and said to the man that offered: give flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not have *sodden flesh of thee, but raw. And if any man said unto him, let the fat be offered according to the day, and then take as much as thine heart desireth. The lad would answer him, thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it with violence. And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord. For they despised the people and also the offering of the Lord.
But the lad Samuel ministered before the Lord girded about with a linen Ephod. Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from feast to feast when she came up with her husband to offer the offering of the said feast. And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said: the Lord give thee seed of this woman, for that she hath lent the Lord. And they went unto their own home. And the Lord visited Hannah for that she conceived and bare three sons and two daughters. But the boy Samuel grew dwelling still with the Lord.
Eli was very old and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how they slept with the women that waited in the door of the tabernacle of witness, and said unto them: why do ye such things? For I hear your wicked deeds of all these people. Oh, nay my sons: For it is no good report that I hear how that ye make the Lords people to trespass. If one man sin against another, daysmen may make his peace: but if a man sin against the Lord, who can be his daysman? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them. The child Samuel profited and grew, and was in favour both with the Lord and also with men.
And there came a man of God unto Eli and said unto him: thus saith the Lord. I appeared unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaos house. And I chose thy father out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest for to offer upon mine altar and to burn incense, and to wear an Ephod before me. And I gave unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel. Wherefore kick ye against my sacrifice and against mine offering which I command in the tabernacle, and honourest thy children above me, and make yourselves fat of the first fruits of all the offerings of Israel my people? Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith: I said that thine house and the house of thy father should have walked before me for ever. But now the Lord saith that be far from me: for them that worship me I will worship, and they that despise me, shall be despised, Behold the days will come that I will cut off thine arm and the arm of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an elder in thine house. And thou shalt see thine enemy in the tabernacle, in all that shall please Israel, and there shall not be an elder in thine house while the world standeth. Nevertheless I will not destroy all thy males from my altar, to daze thy sight with all and to make thine heart melt. And all the multitude of thine house shall die young.
And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, Hophni and Phinehes: even in one day they shall die both of them. And I will stir me up a faithful priest that shall do as it is in mine heart and in my mind. And I will build him a sure house. And he shall walk before mine anointed for ever. And they that are left in thine house, shall come and crouch to him for a little piece of silver and a cake of bread, and shall say: put me I pray thee in one office or other among the priests, that I may eat a morsel of bread*bones: other places the Lord breaketh the bows of the mighty. *sodden (boiled)
Then spoke the Lord unto Job out of the storm, and said: Gird up your loins now like a man, and tell me the things that I will ask you. Will you disannul my judgment? Or will you condemn me, that you yourself may be made righteous? Is your arm then like the arm of God? Makes your voice such a sound as his doth? Then arm yourself with your own power, up, deck you in your jolly array, pour out your indignation of your wrath: see that you cast down all the proud, look well, that you make all such as be *stubburn, to obey: tread all ungodly under your feet, cast them down into the mire, and cover their faces with darkness: Then I will confess also, that your own right hand has saved you.
Behold, Behemoth, (whom I made with you) which eats hay as an ox: how strong is in his loins, and what power he has in the navel of his body. He spreads out his tail like a Cedar tree, all his veins are stiff. His shins are like pipes of brass, his rig bones are like staves of iron. First when God made him, he ordered the wilderness for him, that the mountains should give him grass, where all the beasts of the field take their pastime. He lays among the reeds in the Mosses, the ferns hid him with their shadow, and the willows of the brook cover him round about. Lo, without any labor might he drink out of the whole flood, and sup of Jordan without any travail. Who dare lay a hand on him openly, and undertake to catch him? Or, who dare put a hook through his nose, and lay a snare for him?
Dare you draw out Leviathan with an *angle ? or bind his tongue with a snare? Can you put a ring in the nose of him? or bore his *chaftes through with a nail? Will he make a covenant with you? Or are you able to compel him to do you continual service? Will you take your pastime with him as with a bird? Or give him to your maidens, that your companions may hew him in pieces, to be parted among the merchant men? Can you fill the net with his skin, or the fish panner with his head? Dare you lay your hand upon him? It is better for you to consider what harm might happen you there through, and not touch him. For when you think to have hold upon him, he shall beguile you: Every man also that sees him, shall go back. And why? there dare none be so bold as to raise him up*stubburn, (stubborn) comes to mind "stubble burning".
*angle; (hook) or an "angle" in their hooks ...chaftes (jaw)Woe be unto the land of *flying ships, which is this side the flood of Ethiopia: which sendeth her message over the sea in ships of reeds upon the water: and sayeth go soon, and do your message unto a strange and hard folk: to a fearful people, and to a people that is further than this: to a desperate and *pilled folk, whose land is divided from us with rivers of water. Yee all ye that sit in the compass of the world, and dwell upon the earth: when the token shall be given upon the mountains, then look up: and when the horn bloweth, then harken to, for thus hath the Lord said unto me. I lay me down, and pondered the matter in my house, at the Noon day when it was hot: And there fell a misting shower, like a dew, as it happeneth in Harvest. But the fruits were not yet ripe cut off, and the grapes were but young and green. Then one smote off, the grapes with an hook, yee he hewed down also the boughs and the branches, and did cast them away. And thus they were layed waste, for the fowls of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth together. So that the fowls sat there upon, and the beasts of the earth wintered there. Then shall there be a present brought to the Lord of Hosts: even that hard folk, that fearful folk, and that further is then this: that desperate and pilled folk ( whose land is divided from us with floods of water ) unto the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts: even unto the hill of Sion
* *flying ships, this is exactly as it is written. *pilled; to be under extortion, extorted from: "what ever the market will bear" comes to mind. RN
And therefore cry now, as loud as thou canst. Leave not off, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their offenses , and the house of Jacob their sins. For they seek me daily, and will know my ways, even as it were a people that did right, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God. They argue with me concerning right judgement, and will pleate at the law with their God. Wherefore fast we ( they say ) and thou seest not? we put our lives to straightness, and thou regardest not?
Behold, when ye fast, your lust remaineth still: for ye do no less violence to your debtors : Lo, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with your fist that speaketh unto you. Ye fast not ( as some time ) that your voice might be heard above. Think ye this fast pleaseth me, that a man should chasten himself for a day, and to *writhe his head about like an hook in an hairy cloth and, to lie upon the earth? Should that be called fasting, or a day that pleaseth the Lord? But this fasting pleaseth me not, till that time be thou *lowse him out of bondage, that is in thy danger: that thou break the oath of wicked bargains, that thou let the oppressed go free, and take from them all manner of burdens. It pleaseth not me, till thou deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the poor fatherless home into thy house, when thou seest the naked that thou cover him, and hide not thy face from thine own flesh.
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health flourish right shortly: thy righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of the Lord shall embrace thee.
Then if thou callest, the Lord shall answer thee: if thou shalt cryest, he shall say: Here I am. Yee If thou layest away thy burdens, and holdest thy fingers, and ceasest from blasphemous talking, if thou hast compassion on the hungry, and refresheth the troubled soul: Then shall thy light spring out in the darkness, and thy darkness shall be as noon day. The Lord shall ever be thy guide, and satisfy the desires of thine heart, and fill thy bones with merry. Thou shalt be like as a fresh watered garden, and like the fountain of water, that never leaveth running. Then the places that have ever been waste, shall be builded of thee: there shalt thou lay a foundation for many kindreds. Thou shalt be called the maker up of hedges, and the builder again of the way of the Sabbath.
Yee if thou turn thy feet from the Sabbath, so that thou do not the thing which pleaseth thy self in my holy day: then shalt thou be called unto the pleasant, holy, and glorious Sabbath of the Lord, where thou shalt be in honor: so that thou do not after thine own imagination, neither seek thine own will, ner speak thine own words. Then shalt thou have thy pleasure in the Lord, which shall carry thee high above the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the Lords own mouth hath so promisedto *writhe (to twist about..or distort )
*lowse (to loose or win him out of, low from the Hebrew is to humble. )It happened that in the sixth year, the fifth day of the sixth month, I sat in my house, and the Lords of the counsel of Judah with me: and the hand of the Lord God even fell there upon me. And as I looked up, I saw as it were a likeness of fire from his loins upward it flashed marvelous clear. This similitude stretched out an hand, and took me by the hairy locks of my head, and the spirit lifted me up between heaven and earth: And God brought me in a vision to Jerusalem, into the entry of the inner port that layeth toward the north: there stood an image, with whom he that hath all things in his power, was very wroth.
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was in the same place: even as I had seen it afore in the field. And he said unto me: Thou son of man, O lift up thine eyes, and look toward the north. Then I lift up mine eyes toward the north., and behold: before the port northward, there was an altar made unto the image of provocation in the very entering in. And he said furthermore unto me: Thou son of man, seest thou what these do? Seest thou the great abominations that the house of Israel comites in this place? which ought not to be done in my sanctuary: But turn thee about, and thou shalt see yet greater abominations. And with that brought he me to the court gate: and when I looked, behold, there was an hole in the wall. Then said he unto me: Thou son of man, dig through the wall. And when I digged through the wall, behold there was a door. And he said unto me: Go thy way in, and look what wicked abominations they do there. So I went in, and saw: and behold, there were all manner of images of worms and beasts, all Idols and abominations of the house of Israel painted every one round about the wall. There stood also before the images. Seventy of the Lords of the counsel of the house of Israel: and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Saphan: And every one of them had a censor in his hand, and out of the incense, there went a smoke, as it had been a cloud. Then said he unto me: Thou son of man, has thou seen what the Senators of the house of Israel do secretly, everyone in his chamber: For they say, Tush, the Lord seeth us not, the Lord regardeth not the world. And he said unto me: Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see the great abominations that they do. And with that he brought me to the door of the port of the Lords house, toward the north. And behold, there fat women mourning for Thamus. Then said he unto me: hast thou seen this, thou son of man? Turn ye about, and thou shalt see yet greater abominations. And so he brought me into the inward court of the Lords house: And behold at the port of the Lords house, between the for entry and the altar, there were five and twenty men, that turned their backs on the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, and these worshiped the son.
And he said unto me: hast thou seen this thou son of man? Thinketh the house of Israel , that it is but a trifle, to do these abominations here? Should they fill the land full of wickedness, and undertake to provoke me unto anger: Yee and purposely to cast up their noses upon me? Therefore will I also do something in my wrothfull displeasure, so that mine eye shall not over see them, neither will I spare them. Yee and though they cry in mine ears with loud voice, yet will I not hear themIn the tenth year upon the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: O thou son of man, set now face against Pharaoh the King of Egypt, Prophesy against him and against the whole land of Egypt: Speak, and tell him, thus saith the Lord God: behold, O Pharaoh thou king of Egypt, I will upon thee, thou great dragon, that liest in the waters: thou that sayest the water is mine. I have made it myself. I will put hooks in thy *chawes, and hang all the fish of thy waters upon thy scales. after that I will draw thee out of thy waters, yee and all the fish of thy waters that hang upon thy scales. I will cast thee out upon the dry land with the fish of thy waters, so that thou shalt lie upon the field. Thou shalt not be gathered nor taken up: but shall be meat for the beasts of the field, and for the fowls of the air: that all they which dwell in Egypt, may know, that I am the Lord: because thou hast been a staff of *rede to the house of Israel. When they took hold of thee with their hand thou breakest and prickest them on every side: and if they leaned upon thee, thou brakest and hurtest the *reynes of their backs. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and root out of thee both man and beast. Yee the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste, and they shall know, that I am the Lord: Because he said: The water is mine, I myself have made it. Behold therefore, I will upon thee, and upon thy waters: I will make the land of Egypt waste and desolate, from the tower of Syenes unto the borders of the Morains land: so that in forty years no foot of man shall walk there, neither foot of cattle go there, neither shall it be inhabited. And I will make the land of Egypt to be desolate, among other waste countries, and her cities to lie void forty years, among the other void cities: And I will scatter the Egyptians among the Heathen and nations.
Again, thus saith the Lord God: When the forty years are expired I will gather the Egyptians together again, out of the nations, among whom they were scattered, and I will bring the prisoners of Egypt again into the land of Pathures their own native country, that they may be there a lowly small kingdom: Yee they shall be the smallest among the other kingdoms, least they exalt themselves above the Heathen, for I will so minish them, that they shall no more rule the Heathen. They shall no more counsel hope unto the house of Israel, neither prey upon them any more to wickedness, to cause them to turn back, and follow them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.
In the twenty seventh year, the first day of the first month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: O thou son of man, Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon hath made his host, with great travail and labor to come before Tyre: that every head may be bald, and every shoulder bare. Yet hath Tyre given him nor his host any reward, for the great travail he hath taken there. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, that he may take away all her substance, rob her robberies, and spoil her spoils, to pay his host their wages withal. I will give him the land of Egypt for his labor, that he took for me before Tyre. At the same time will I cause the *horn of the house of Israel to grow forth, and open thy mouth again among them: that they may know that I am the Lord*chawes (jaws), *rede (reed or red) *reynes (reigns) *horn= glory and power MN
In the twenty fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month: that is the fourteenth year, after that the city was smitten down: the same day came the hand of the Lord upon me, and carried me forth: even into the land of Israel brought he me in the visions of God: and set me down upon a marvelous high mountain, where upon there was a building ( as it had been of a city ) toward the north.
Thither he carried me, and behold, there was a man, whose similitude was like brass, which had a thread of flax in his hand, and a meterod also. He stood in the door, and said: mark well with thine eyes, harken too with thine ears, and fasten it to thine heart, whatsoever I shall show thee, for to the intent that they might be showed thee, therefore thou art thou brought hither. And whatsoever thou seest, thou shall certify the house of Israel thereof.
Behold, there was a wall on the outside round about the house: the meterod that he had in his hand, was of six cubits long and a span. So he measured the breadth of the building, which was one meterod, and the height also a meterod, Then came he unto the east door, and went up the stairs, and measured the posts of the door, whereof every one was a meterod thick. Every chamber was a meterod long and broad: between the chambers were five cubits. The post of the door within the porch, was one meterod. Then measured he the entry of the door, that contained eight cubits, and his pillars two cubits: and this entry stood inward.
The chambers of the door eastward, were three on every side: alike broad and long. The pillars also that stood of both the sides, were of one measure. After this, he measured the wideness of the door, which was ten cubits, and the height of the door thirteen cubits. The edge before the chambers was one cubit broad upon both the sides and the cambers six cubits wide of either side. He measured the door from the *rigge of one chamber to another, whose wideness was twenty five cubits, and one door stood against another. He made pillars also sixty cubits high, round about the court door. Before the inward part unto the fore entry of the inner door, were fifty cubits. The chambers and the pillars within, round about unto the door, had side windows: So had the fore entries also, whose windows went round about within. And upon the pillars stood date trees.
Then brought he me into the fore court, where as were chambers a paved works, made in the fore court round about: Thirty chambers upon one paved work. Now the paved work was a long beside the doors, and that was the lower paved work. After this, he measured the breadth from the lower door, unto the inner court of the outside, which had an hundred cubits upon the east and north part. And the door in the utter most court toward the north, measured he after the length and breadth: his three chambers also on either side, with his pillars and fore entries: which had even the measure of the first door. His height was fifty cubits, the breadth twenty five cubits: his windows and porches with his date trees, had even like measure as the door toward the east: there were seven steps to go up upon, and their porch before them. Now the door of the inner most court stood straight over against the door, that was toward the north east. From one door to another, he measured hundred cubits.
After that, he brought me to the south side, where there stood a door toward the south: whose pillars and porches he measured, these had the first measure, and with their porches they had windows round about, like the first windows. The height was fifty cubits, the breadth was twenty five, with steps to go up upon: his porch stood before him, with his pillars and date trees on either side. And the door of the inner court stood toward the south, and he measured from one door to another an hundred cubits. So he brought me in to the inner court, through the door of the south side: which he measured, and it had the measure afore said. In like manner, his chambers, pillars, and fore entries, had even the fore said measure also. And he had with his porches round about, windows of fifty cubits high, and twenty five cubits broad. The porches round about were twenty five cubits long, and five cubits broad: and his porch reached unto the utter most court: upon his pillars there were date trees, and eight steps to go up upon.
He brought me also to the inmost court upon the east side, and measured the door, according to the measure afore said. His chambers, pillars, and porches had even the same measure, as they first had: and with his porches he had windows round about. The height was fifty cubits, the breadth twenty five cubits: His porches reached unto the uttermost court: his pillars also had date trees on either side, and eight steps to up upon. And he brought me to the north door, and measured it, which also had the afore said measure. His chambers, pillars, and porches had windows round about: whose height was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty five. His pillars stood toward the uttermost court, and upon them both were date trees, and eight steps to go up upon. There stood a chamber also, whose entrance was at the door pillars, and there the burnt offerings were washed.
In the door porch, there stood on either side two tables for the slaughtering; to slay the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and trespass offerings thereupon. And on the out side as men go forth to the north door, there stood two tables. Four tables stood on either side of the door, that is eight tables, where upon they slaughtered. Four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offerings, of a cubit and a half long and broad, and one cubit high: where upon were laid the vessels and ornaments, which were used to the burnt and the slain offerings, when they were slaughtered. And within there were hooks four fingers broad, fastened round about, to hang flesh upon, and upon the tables was laid the offering flesh. On the outside of the inner door were the singers chambers in the inward court beside the North door over against the South. There stood one also, beside the east door northward.
And he said unto me: This chamber on the South side belongeth to the priests, that keep the habitation: and this toward the North, is the priests that wait upon the alter: which be the sons of Sadoch, that do service before the Lord instead of the children of Levi. So he measured the fore court, which had in length an hundred cubits, and as much in breadth by the four corners. Now the altar stood before the house: And he brought me to the fore entry of the house, and measured the walls by the entry door: which were five cubits long on either side. The thickness also of the door on either side, was three cubits. The length of the porch was twenty cubits, the breadth eleven cubits, and upon steps went men up to it: by the walls also were pillars, on either side one*cu= 1’-7" span= 9 2" a meterod = 5 cubits as we will see in Chapter 41p2 this meterod here, that he used was = 6 x 1-7"+9 2" or 144"+9 2" for approx 12 feet, 9 2 inches.

Therefore holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings consider the ambassador and high priest of our profession Christ Jesus, which was faithful to him that made him, even as was Moses in all his house. And yet was this man counted worthy of more glory than Moses: In as much as he which hath prepared the house, hath most honour in the house. Every house is prepared of some man. But he that ordained all things, is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a minister, to bear witness of those things which should be spoken afterward. But Christ as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house are we, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.
Wherefore as the *holy ghost saith: today if ye shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, after the rebellion in the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said: They *erre ever in their hearts: they verily have not known my ways so that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. Take heed brethren that there be in none of you an evil heart in unbelief, that he should depart from the living God: but exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you wax hard hearted through the deceitfulness of sin.
We are partakers of Christ if we keep sure unto the end the first substance, so long as it is said: today if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as when ye rebelled. For some, when they heard, rebelled: how be it not all that came out of Egypt under Moses. But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? To whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest: but unto them that believed not? And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
