- 1 Rois 7
  
  1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
  
  2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.
  
  3 It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams, that were on the pillars; fifteen in a row.
  
  4 There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
  
  5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.
  
  6 He made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.
  
  7 He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
  
  8 His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
  
  9 All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
  
  10 The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
  
  11 Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
  
  12 The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and the porch of the house.
  
  13 King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
  
  14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.
  
  15 For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them about.
  
  16 He made two capitals of molten brass, to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
  
  17 There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
  
  18 So he made the pillars; and there were two rows around on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars: and he did so for the other capital.
  
  19 The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.
  
  20 There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows around on the other capital.
  
  21 He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
  
  22 On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
  
  23 He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.
  
  24 Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
  
  25 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
  
  26 It was a handbreadth thick: and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.
  
  27 He made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.
  
  28 The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
  
  29 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
  
  30 Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
  
  31 The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.
  
  32 The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
  
  33 The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
  
  34 There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.
  
  35 In the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.
  
  36 On the plates of its stays, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.
  
  37 In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
  
  38 He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.
  
  39 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
  
  40 Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of Yahweh:
  
  41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
  
  42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
  
  43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
  
  44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
  
  45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Yahweh, were of burnished brass.
  
  46 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
  
  47 Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.
  
  48 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;
  
  49 and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
  
  50 and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
  
  51 Thus all the work that king Solomon worked in the house of Yahweh was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.
  
  Ezéchiel 37
  
  1 The hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
  
  2 He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.
  
  3 He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know.
  
  4 Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.
  
  5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
  
  6 I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
  
  7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
  
  8 I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
  
  9 Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.
  
  10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
  
  11 Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.
  
  12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
  
  13 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
  
  14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it, says Yahweh.
  
  15 The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,
  
  16 You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
  
  17 and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
  
  18 When the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
  
  19 tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
  
  20 The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
  
  21 Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
  
  22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;
  
  23 neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
  
  24 My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
  
  25 They shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, forever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
  
  26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore.
  
  27 My tent also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
  
  28 The nations shall know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in their midst forevermore.
  
  Ephésiens 4
  
  1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
  
  2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
  
  3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
  
  4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
  
  5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
  
  6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
  
  7 But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
  
  8 Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."
  
  9 Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
  
  10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
  
  11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
  
  12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;
  
  13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
  
  14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
  
  15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
  
  16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
  
  17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
  
  18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;
  
  19 who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
  
  20 But you did not learn Christ that way;
  
  21 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
  
  22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
  
  23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
  
  24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
  
  25 Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
  
  26 "Be angry, and don't sin." Don't let the sun go down on your wrath,
  
  27 neither give place to the devil.
  
  28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
  
  29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
  
  30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
  
  31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
  
  32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
