41 And Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the bowls. And Hiram finished all the work that he made for King Solomon for the house of YAHUVEH
42 Two pillars, and two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two gratings to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
43 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two gratings, two rows of pomegranates for each grating, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
44 and ten bases, and ten basins on the bases;
45 and one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
46 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And all these vessels which Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of YAHUVEH were of burnished copper.
47 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the thick soil of the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
48 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because they were very, very many; the weight of the copper was not searched out.
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of YAHUVEH: The altar of gold; and the table of gold on which was the Bread of the Presence;
49 and the menorahs, five on the right and five on the left before the Holy of Holies, of refined gold, and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs were of gold;
50 and the basins, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the firepans were of refined gold; and the hinges for the doors of the inner house, for the Holy of Holies, for the doors of the house of the sanctuary were of gold.

John 13:1-19


1 And before the Feast of the Passover, YAHUSHUA knowing that His hour had come that He should move from this world to the Father, loving His own in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper having occurred, the Devil having put already into the heart of Simon’s son Judas Iscariot that he should betray Him,
3 YAHUSHUA knowing that the Father has given all things into His hands, and that He came out from Elohim, and goes away to Elohim,
4 He rose up from the supper and laid aside His garments. And taking a towel, He girded Himself.
5 Then He put water into the basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe off with the towel with which He was girded4.
6 He then came to Simon Peter. And that one said to Him, Master, do You wash my feet?
7 YAHUSHUA answered and said to him, The thing that I do you do not understand now, but afterwards you will know.
8 Peter said to Him, You may never wash my feet for me. YAHUSHUA answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.
9 Simon Peter said to Him, Master, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.
10 YAHUSHUA said to him, The one having been immersed has no need other than to wash the feet, for all of him is clean5. And you are clean, but not all.
11 For He knew the one betraying Him. For this reason He said, You are not all clean.
12 Then when He had washed their feet and had taken His garments, reclining again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?
13 You call Me the Teacher, and, the Master. And you say well, for I AM.
14 If then I washed your feet, the Master and the Teacher, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.
15 For I gave you an example, that as I did to you, you also should do1.
16 Truly, truly, I say to you, A slave is not greater than his Master, nor a messenger greater than the one sending him.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18 I do not speak concerning all of you; I know whom I chose out; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “The one eating the bread with Me lifted up his heel against Me.” (Psa.41:9)
19 From now on I will say to you a thing before it happens, so that when it happens you will believe that I Am.
