[TERUMAH]
25 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, that they bring Me a terumah (offering); of every man that giveth it willingly with his lev ye shall receive My terumah (offering).
3 And this is the terumah (offering) which ye shall receive of them; zahav, and kesef, and nechoshet,
4 And turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool, and linen, and goat hair,
5 And ram skins dyed red, and tachash skins, and acacia wood,
6 Shemen for the light, spices for shemen hamishchah (anointing oil) and aromatic ketoret (incense),
7 Shoham stone, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the Choshen (Breastplate).
8 And let them make Me a Mikdash; that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I show thee, after the tavnit HaMishkan (pattern of the Tabernacle), and the tavnit of all the vessels thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10 And they shall make an Aron (Ark) of acacia wood; two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the width thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with zahav tahor, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a gold crown all around.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of zahav for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13 And thou shalt make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with zahav.
14 And thou shalt put the poles into the rings by the sides of the Aron, that the Aron may be carried with them.
15 The poles shall be in the rings of the Aron; they shall not be removed from it.
16 And thou shalt put into the Aron the Edut (Testimony [of Tablets]) which I shall give thee.
17 And thou shalt make a kapporet of zahav tahor; two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the width thereof.
18 And thou shalt make two keruvim of zahav, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the kapporet.
19 And make one keruv on the one end, and the other keruv on the other end, with the kapporet (atonement cover) shall ye make the keruvim on the two ends thereof.
20 And the keruvim shall stretch forth their wings upward, covering the kapporet with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the kapporet shall the faces of the keruvim be.
21 And thou shalt place the kapporet on the Aron from above; and into the Aron thou shalt place the Edut that I shall give thee.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the kapporet, from between the two keruvim which are upon the Aron HaEdut, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the Bnei Yisroel.
23 Thou shalt also make a Shulchan of acacia wood; two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the width thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with zahav tahor, and make thereto a crown of zahav around.
25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown on the rim thereof round about.
26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of zahav, and place the rings in the four corners that are on the four legs thereof.
27 Over against the rim shall the rings be for holders of the poles to carry the Shulchan.
28 And thou shalt make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with zahav, that the Shulchan may be carried with them.
29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and shelving-tubes thereof, and bowls thereof, with which it shall be used to pour libations; of zahav tahor shalt thou make them.
30 And thou shalt set upon the Shulchan the Lechem Panim before Me always.
31 And thou shalt make a Menorah of zahav tahor; hammered out shall the Menorah be made; its base, its shaft, and its cups, its knobs, and its blossoms, shall be of the same.
32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the menorah out of the one side, and three branches of the menorah out of the other side;
33 Three cups engraved with almonds on the one branch, a knob and a flower; and three cups made like almonds in the other branch, with a knob and a flower; so for the six branches that come out of the Menorah.
34 And on the Menorah shall be four cups engraved like almonds, its knobs and its flowers.
35 And there shall be a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the Menorah.
36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of the same; all of it shall be one hammered out work of zahav tahor.
37 And thou shalt make the nerot shivah thereof; and they shall kindle the nerot thereof, that they may give light toward its face.
38 And the tongs thereof, and the spoons thereof, shall be of zahav tahor.

40 And see that thou make them after their tavnit, which was shown thee in HaHar.
26 Moreover thou shalt make the Mishkan (Tabernacle) with ten curtains of twisted linen with turquoise, purple, and scarlet wool; with keruvim of artistic needle work shalt thou make them.
2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the width of one curtain four cubits; and every one of the curtains shall have middah achat (one size).
3 The five curtains shall be choverot (joined together) one to another; and the other five curtains shall be chovrot one to another.
4 And thou shalt make loops of turquoise wool upon the edge of the outermost curtain of the set; and likewise shalt thou make loops upon the edge of the outermost curtain, in the second set.
5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the first curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make on the edge of the outermost curtain that is in the second set; that the loops may be opposite one another.
6 And thou shalt make fifty hooks of zahav, and join the curtains together with the hooks: so that the Mishkan shall become one.
7 And thou shalt make curtains of goat hair to be an Ohel over the Mishkan: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
8 The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, the width of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of the middah achat (same size).
9 And thou shalt join into one five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt fold the sixth curtain over the front of the Ohel.
10 And thou shalt make fifty loops along the edge of the first curtain at the end of one choveret (set), and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second choveret (set).
11 And thou shalt make fifty hooks of nechoshet, and put the hooks into the loops, and attach the Ohel, so that it may become echad (one).
12 And the remnant of the overhang of the curtains of the Ohel, half of the curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the back of the Mishkan.
13 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the Ohel, shall hang over the sides of the Mishkan on this side and the other, to cover it.
14 And thou shalt make a Mikhseh for the Ohel of ram skins dyed red, and a Mikhseh of tachash skins above.
15 And thou shalt make the kerashim (planks) of the Mishkan of acacia wood, standing erect.
16 Ten cubits shall be the length of each keresh (plank), and a cubit and a half shall be the width of each keresh (plank).
17 Two yadot (tenons, projections) shall there be in each keresh (plank), set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the kerashim (planks) of the Mishkan.
18 And thou shalt make the kerashim (planks) for the Mishkan, twenty kerashim (planks) on the south side southward.
19 And thou shalt make arba’im sockets of kesef under the twenty kerashim (planks); two sockets under one keresh (plank) for its two yadot (tenons, projections), and two sockets under the next keresh (plank) for its two yadot.
20 And for the second wall of the Mishkan on the tzafon (north) side there shall be twenty kerashim (planks):

22 And for the back of the Mishkan on the west, thou shalt make six kerashim (planks).
23 And two kerashim (planks) shalt thou make for the corners of the Mishkan in the rear.
24 And they shall be even beneath at the bottom, and they shall be joined together at the top of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
25 And they shall be shemoneh kerashim (eight planks), and their sockets of kesef, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one keresh, two sockets under the next keresh.
26 And thou shalt make crossbars of acacia wood; five for the kerashim (planks) of the one side of the Mishkan,
27 And five crossbars for the kerashim (planks) of the second wall of the Mishkan, and five crossbars for the kerashim (planks) of the wall of the Mishkan at the back, westward.
28 And the middle crossbar inside the kerashim (planks) shall extend from end to end.
29 And thou shalt overlay the kerashim (planks) with zahav, and make their rings of zahav as housing for the crossbars: and thou shalt overlay the crossbars with zahav.
30 And thou shalt erect the Mishkan according to the mishpat (plan, specifications) thereof which was showed thee in HaHar.
31 And thou shalt make a Parochet of turquoise, purple, and scarlet wool, and twisted linen of ma’aseh choshev (artistic craftwork) with keruvim shall it be made:
32 And thou shalt hang it upon four ammudim of acacia wood overlaid with zahav: their hooks shall be of zahav, upon the four sockets of kesef.
33 And thou shalt hang up the Parochet under the hooks, that thou mayest bring in there behind the Parochet, the Aron HaEdut: and the Parochet shall separate unto you between HaKodesh and the Kodesh HaKodashim.
34 And thou shalt put the Kapporet upon the Aron HaEdut in the Kodesh HaKodashim.
35 And thou shalt place the Shulchan michutz (outside) the Parochet, and the Menorah opposite the Shulchan on the south side of the Mishkan: and thou shalt place the Shulchan on the north side.
36 And thou shalt make a Masach (Screen, Curtain) for the petach (entrance) of the Ohel, of turquoise, purple, and scarlet wool, and twisted linen, wrought with ma’aseh rokem (embroidering craft).
37 And thou shalt make for the Masach five ammudim of acacia wood, and overlay them with zahav, and their hooks shall be of zahav; and thou shalt cast five sockets of nechoshet for them.
17 And going up to Yerushalayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the Shneym Asar Talmidim aside in a yechidus and, on the way, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them,
18 Hinei! We are going up to Yerushalayim, and the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] will be handed over to the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim (scribes, Torah-teachers, or rabbonim), and they will condemn him to death.
19 And they will hand Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach over to the Goyim in order to mock and to whip and to hang him up TALUI AL HAETZ (being hanged on the Tree DEVARIM 21:23), and after his histalkus (passing), on the Yom HaShlishi (Third Day) there will be Techiyas HaMoshiach.
20 Then the Em of Zavdai’s banim, along with the sons, approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and, prostrating herself before him, she made a bakosha (request) of him.
21 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to her, What do you wish? She says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Say that these, my two banim, may sit, one on your right, the other on your left, in your [the Moshiach’s] Malchut.
22 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, You do not have daas of what you are asking. Are you able to drink the Kos which I am about to drink? They say, We are able.
23 Moshiach says to them, Indeed, you will drink my Kos, but to sit on the right and on the left of me, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my [Moshiach’s] Av.
24 And having heard this, HaAsarah (The Ten) became indignant about the two achim (brothers).
25 But Moshiach, having summoned them, said, You have daas that those who have the rule over the Goyim domineer them like tyrants.
26 But it will not be thus among you. For whoever wishes to be gadol among you will become your mesharet (servant, minister).
27 And whoever wishes among you to be rishon (first) will be your eved (servant).
28 Just as the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] did not come to be served, to be ministered to, but to serve, to minister, and to give his neshamah, his nefesh, as a kofer (ransom, pedut) LARABBIM (for the sake of many, for the Geulah Redemption of many, YESHAYAH 53:11).
29 And, as they were going out from Yericho, a great multitude followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
30 And hinei! Two ivrim (blind men), sitting beside the road, having heard that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is passing by, shouted, crying out, Adoneinu, Ben Dovid, chaneinu, yhi chasedcha aleinu (have mercy on us TEHILLIM 33:22)!
31 However, the crowd rebuked the two ivrim, that they be silent, but they shouted even more, saying Chaneinu, Adoneinu Ben Dovid!
32 And having stopped, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach called to them and said, What do you wish that I should do for you?
33 They say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach: Adoneinu, that our eyes may be opened!
34 And having been filled with rachmei shomayim (heavenly mercy, compassion), he touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes were opened and they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
