And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, {that} every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which {was} without the camp.

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises {made} unto the fathers:

For we know that if our earthly house of {this} tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

{It was} therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, {even} Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

And he said unto them, These {are} the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and {in} the prophets, and {in} the psalms, concerning me.

And {having} an high priest over the house of God;

And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy {place} before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker {is} God.

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, {which are} the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

But he spake of the temple of his body.

For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

Then verily the first {covenant} had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. {ordinances: or, ceremonies}

Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle {with} ten curtains {of} fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: {with} cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them. {of cunning...: Heb. the work of a cunning workman, or, embroiderer}

Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. {speaking: or, who spake}

But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, {is} therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.

This is the sum of the tabernacle, {even} of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, {for} the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
