| وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “There [are many things that I want] you to tell to the Israeli people.
| «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا لِي تَقْدِمَةً. مِنْ كُلِّ مَنْ يَحِثُّهُ قَلْبُهُ تَأْخُذُونَ تَقْدِمَتِي. | ٢ 2 |
Tell them that they must give offerings/gifts to me. Receive from the people every offering/gift that they want to give to me.
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْخُذُونَهَا مِنْهُمْ: ذَهَبٌ وَفِضَّةٌ وَنُحَاسٌ، | ٣ 3 |
These are the things that they may offer/give: Gold, silver, bronze,

[expensive quartz] stones [called] onyx, and other expensive stones to be fastened [to the priest’s vest] and put on the pouches [that are to be fastened to the vest].
| فَيَصْنَعُونَ لِي مَقْدِسًا لِأَسْكُنَ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Tell the people to make a big Sacred Tent for me, so that I can live in it among them.
| بِحَسَبِ جَمِيعِ مَا أَنَا أُرِيكَ مِنْ مِثَالِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، وَمِثَالِ جَمِيعِ آنِيَتِهِ هَكَذَا تَصْنَعُونَ. | ٩ 9 |
They must make the Sacred Tent and all the things that will be used inside it according to the plan/model that I will show you.”
| «فَيَصْنَعُونَ تَابُوتًا مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ، وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ، وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ. | ١٠ 10 |
“[Tell the people to] make a [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It is to be (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
| وَتُغَشِّيهِ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ. مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ خَارِجٍ تُغَشِّيهِ، وَتَصْنَعُ عَلَيْهِ إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Cover it with pure gold inside and outside, and put a gold border around the top of it.
| وَتَسْبِكُ لَهُ أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَجْعَلُهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ. عَلَى جَانِبِهِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ حَلْقَتَانِ، وَعَلَى جَانِبِهِ ٱلثَّانِي حَلْقَتَانِ. | ١٢ 12 |
[They must] make/cast four rings from gold and fasten them to the legs of the chest. Put two rings on each side of the chest.

[They must] make [two] poles from acacia wood, and they must cover them with gold.
| وَتُدْخِلُ ٱلْعَصَوَيْنِ فِي ٱلْحَلَقَاتِ عَلَى جَانِبَيِ ٱلتَّابُوتِ لِيُحْمَلَ ٱلتَّابُوتُ بِهِمَا. | ١٤ 14 |
[They must] put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, so that the chest can be carried by the poles.
| تَبْقَى ٱلْعَصَوَانِ فِي حَلَقَاتِ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. لَا تُنْزَعَانِ مِنْهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
The poles must always be left in the rings; they must not take the poles out [of the rings].
| وَتَضَعُ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Put inside the chest the [two stone slabs that I will give you, on which] I have written my commandments.
| «وَتَصْنَعُ غِطَاءً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ، وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ، | ١٧ 17 |
[Tell them to] make a lid for the chest from pure gold. [It will be the place where I will] forgive people’s sins. It [also] is to be (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
| وَتَصْنَعُ كَرُوبَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. صَنْعَةَ خِرَاطَةٍ تَصْنَعُهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ ٱلْغِطَاءِ. | ١٨ 18 |
[Tell them to] hammer [huge lump of] gold into the form of two creatures that have wings.
| فَٱصْنَعْ كَرُوبًا وَاحِدًا عَلَى ٱلطَّرَفِ مِنْ هُنَا، وَكَرُوبًا آخَرَ عَلَى ٱلطَّرَفِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. مِنَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ تَصْنَعُونَ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيْهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
One of these is to be put at each end of the chest, but the gold [from which] they [are made] must be joined to the gold from which the lid [is made].
| وَيَكُونُ ٱلْكَرُوبَانِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا إِلَى فَوْقُ، مُظَلِّلَيْنِ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمَا عَلَى ٱلْغِطَاءِ، وَوَجْهَاهُمَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلْآخَرِ. نَحْوَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ يَكُونُ وَجْهَا ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
[Tell them to place the] winged creatures so that their wings touch each other and spread out over the lid.
| وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلْغِطَاءَ عَلَى ٱلتَّابُوتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَفِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ تَضَعُ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Put inside the chest the stone slabs that I will give you. Then fasten the lid onto the top of the chest.
| وَأَنَا أَجْتَمِعُ بِكَ هُنَاكَ وَأَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ، مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْغِطَاءِ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ عَلَى تَابُوتِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ، بِكُلِّ مَا أُوصِيكَ بِهِ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
I will set times to talk with you there. From above the lid of the chest, between the two winged creatures, I will tell to you all my laws that [you must tell] to the Israeli people.”
| «وَتَصْنَعُ مَائِدَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ طُولُهَا ذِرَاعَانِ، وَعَرْضُهَا ذِرَاعٌ، وَٱرْتِفَاعُهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ. | ٢٣ 23 |
“[Tell them to] make a table from acacia wood. It is to be (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
| وَتُغَشِّيهَا بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، وَتَصْنَعُ لَهَا إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
[Tell them to] cover it with pure gold and put a gold border around it.
| وَتَصْنَعُ لَهَا حَاجِبًا عَلَى شِبْرٍ حَوَالَيْهَا، وَتَصْنَعُ لِحَاجِبِهَا إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
[Tell them to] make a rim all around it, (3 in./7.5 cm.) wide, and put a gold border around the rim.
| وَتَصْنَعُ لَهَا أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلْحَلَقَاتِ عَلَى ٱلزَّوَايَا ٱلْأَرْبَعِ ٱلَّتِي لِقَوَائِمِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
[Tell them to] make/cast four rings from gold and fasten the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
| عِنْدَ ٱلْحَاجِبِ تَكُونُ ٱلْحَلَقَاتُ بُيُوتًا لِعَصَوَيْنِ لِحَمْلِ ٱلْمَائِدَةِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The rings should be fastened to the table near the rim.
| وَتَصْنَعُ ٱلْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ وَتُغَشِّيهِمَا بِذَهَبٍ، فَتُحْمَلُ بِهِمَا ٱلْمَائِدَةُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Make two poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold. The poles for carrying the table are to be inserted in the rings.
| وَتَصْنَعُ صِحَافَهَا وَصُحُونَهَا وَكَأْسَاتِهَا وَجَامَاتِهَا ٱلَّتِي يُسْكَبُ بِهَا. مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ تَصْنَعُهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
Also [tell them to] make plates, cups, jars, and bowls to be used [when the priests] pour out wine [to offer to me]. They must all be made from pure gold.
| وَتَجْعَلُ عَلَى ٱلْمَائِدَةِ خُبْزَ ٱلْوُجُوهِ أَمَامِي دَائِمًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
On the table, in front of the chest, there must always be the loaves of sacred bread [that the priests have offered] to me.”
| «وَتَصْنَعُ مَنَارَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ. عَمَلَ ٱلْخِرَاطَةِ تُصْنَعُ ٱلْمَنَارَةُ، قَاعِدَتُهَا وَسَاقُهَا. تَكُونُ كَأْسَاتُهَا وَعُجَرُهَا وَأَزْهَارُهَا مِنْهَا. | ٣١ 31 |
“[Tell them to] make a lampstand from pure gold. They must hammer [one large lump of] gold to make its base and its shaft. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the [flower] petals [that decorate the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft are all to be hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
| وَسِتُّ شُعَبٍ خَارِجَةٌ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهَا. مِنْ جَانِبِهَا ٱلْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثُ شُعَبِ مَنَارَةٍ، وَمِنْ جَانِبِهَا ٱلثَّانِي ثَلَاثُ شُعَبِ مَنَارَةٍ. | ٣٢ 32 |
There are to be six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
| فِي ٱلشُّعْبَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ ثَلَاثُ كَأْسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِعُجْرَةٍ وَزَهْرٍ، وَفِي ٱلشُّعْبَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ ثَلَاثُ كَأْسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِعُجْرَةٍ وَزَهْرٍ، وَهَكَذَا إِلَى ٱلسِّتِّ ٱلشُّعَبِ ٱلْخَارِجَةِ مِنَ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Each of the branches is to have on it three [gold decorations that will look like] almond blossoms. These decorations must also have flower buds and [flower] petals.
| وَفِي ٱلْمَنَارَةِ أَرْبَعُ كَأْسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِعُجَرِهَا وَأَزْهَارِهَا. | ٣٤ 34 |
On the [shaft of the] lampstand there are to be four [gold decorations that also look like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and petals.
| وَتَحْتَ ٱلشُّعْبَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا عُجْرَةٌ، وَتَحْتَ ٱلشُّعْبَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا عُجْرَةٌ، وَتَحْتَ ٱلشُّعْبَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا عُجْرَةٌ إِلَى ٱلسِّتِّ ٱلشُّعَبِ ٱلْخَارِجَةِ مِنَ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
On each side, there is to be one [flower] bud beneath each of the branches.
| تَكُونُ عُجَرُهَا وَشُعَبُهَا مِنْهَا. جَمِيعُهَا خِرَاطَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ. | ٣٦ 36 |
All these buds and branches, along with the shaft, are to be hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
| وَتَصْنَعُ سُرُجَهَا سَبْعَةً، فَتُصْعَدُ سُرُجُهَا لِتُضِيءَ إِلَى مُقَابِلِهَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
Also [tell them to] make seven small cups [for holding oil. One is to be put on top of the shaft and the others are to be put on top of the branches]. Place these cups so that [when the lamps are lit], the light will shine toward the (front of the lampstand/entrance).
| وَمَلَاقِطُهَا وَمَنَافِضُهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ. | ٣٨ 38 |
[Tell them to] make tongs from pure gold, [to remove the burned wicks] and trays [in which to put the burned wicks].

[Tell them to] use (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and the tongs and the trays.

Make sure that they make these things according to the instructions that I am giving you [here] on [this] mountain.”
