خرُوج 37

١ 1 ثُمَّ صَنَعَ بَصَلْئِيلُ التَّابُوتَ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ (نحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَرُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً).

Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.

٢ 2 وَغَشَّى جُدْرَانَهُ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ وَالْخَارِجِيَّةَ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَجَعَلَ لَهُ إِطَاراً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.

٣ 3 وَسَبَكَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ثَبَّتَهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِهِ الأَرْبَعِ، حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.

He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.

٤ 4 وَصَنَعَ عَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ غَشَّاهُمَا بِالذَّهَبِ.

He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.

٥ 5 وَأَدْخَلَهُمَا فِي الْحَلَقَاتِ الْمُثَبَّتَةِ عَلَى جَانِبَيِ التَّابُوتِ لِيُحْمَلَ بِهِمَا.

He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].

٦ 6 وَصَنَعَ بَصَلْئِيلُ غِطَاءً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَرُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً)

He made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.

٧ 7 وَخَرَطَ كَرُوبَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَقَامَهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الْغِطَاءِ.

He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.

٨ 8 فَصَنَعَ كَرُوباً وَاحِداً عَلَى كُلِّ طَرَفٍ مِنَ الْغِطَاءِ، مَخْرُوطَيْنِ مِنَ الْغِطَاءِ نَفْسِهِ، وَقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيْهِ.

One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].

٩ 9 وَكَانَ الْكَرُوبَانِ مُتَوَاجِهَيْنِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا إِلَى فَوْقُ، يُظَلِّلانِ بِهِمَا الْغِطَاءَ، وَيَتَّجِهَانِ بِوَجْهَيْهِمَا نَحْوَهُ.

[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.

١٠ 10 وَصَنَعَ مَائِدَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ طُولُهَا ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ) وَعَرْضُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَارْتِفَاعُهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً).

Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.

١١ 11 وَغَشَّاهَا بِالذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ. وَصَنَعَ لَهَا إِطَاراً عَالِياً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ.

He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.

١٢ 12 وَأَحَاطَهَا بِحَافَةٍ عَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ. وَصَنَعَ لِمُحِيطِ الْحَافَةِ إطَاراً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.

١٣ 13 وَسَبَكَ لَهَا أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ثَبَّتَهَا عَلَى زَوَايَا قَوَائِمِهَا الأَرْبَعِ.

He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].

١٤ 14 فَكَانَتِ الْحَلَقَاتُ الْمُثَبَّتَةُ عَلَى الْحَافَةِ أَمَاكِنَ لِعَصَوَيْنِ، تُحْمَلُ بِهِمَا الْمَائِدَةُ.

The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.

١٥ 15 وَصَنَعَ الْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ، وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِالذَّهَبِ لِتُحْمَلَ بِهِمَا الْمَائِدَةُ.

He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.

١٦ 16 أَمَّا صِحَافُ الْمَائِدَةِ وَصُحُونُهَا وَكُؤُوسُهَا وَأَبَارِيقُهَا الَّتِي يُسْكَبُ بِها، فَصَاغَهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ.

He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].

١٧ 17 وَخَرَطَ الْمَنَارَةَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، فَكَانَتْ قَاعِدَتُهَا وَسَاقُهَا وَكَاسَاتُهَا وَبَرَاعِمُهَا وَأَزْهَارُهَا كُلُّهَا مَخْرُوطَةً مَعاً مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ،

[He] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.

١٨ 18 وَلَهَا سِتُّ شُعَبٍ. يَتَفَرَّعُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ مِنْهَا ثَلاثُ شُعَبِ مَنَارَةٍ.

There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].

١٩ 19 وَفِي كُلِّ شُعْبَةٍ ثَلاثُ كَاسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِبُرْعُمٍ وَزَهْرٍ. وَهَكَذَا إِلَى السِّتَّةِ الأَفْرُعِ الْمُتَشَعِّبَةِ مِنَ الْمَنَارَةِ.

Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.

٢٠ 20 وَعَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ أَرْبَعُ كَاسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِبَرَاعِمِهَا وَأَزْهَارِهَا.

On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.

٢١ 21 وَجَعَلَ تَحْتَ كُلِّ فَرْعَيْنِ مِنَ الأَفْرُعِ الْمُتَشَعِّبَةِ مِنَ الْمَنَارَةِ بُرْعُماً، وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ لِلسِّتَّةِ الأَفْرُعِ.

On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.

٢٢ 22 فَكَانَتْ بَرَاعِمُهَا وَأَفْرُعُهَا الْمَصْنُوعَةُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، مَخْرُوطَةً كُلُّهَا مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.

All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.

٢٣ 23 وَصَنَعَ لَهَا سَبْعَةَ سُرُجٍ مَعَ مَلاقِطِهَا وَمَنَافِضِهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ.

Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].

٢٤ 24 فَكَانَ وَزْنُ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ الْمُصَاغِ فِي صُنْعِهَا وَصُنْعِ أَوَانِيهَا وَزْنَةً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ كِيْلُو جِرَاماً).

He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.

٢٥ 25 وَصَنَعَ مَذْبَحَ الْبَخُورِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ، فَكَانَ سَطْحُهُ مُرَبَّعاً، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ). وَكَانَتْ قُرُونُهُ مَخْرُوطَةٌ مِنْهُ.

From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.

٢٦ 26 وَغَشَّى سَطْحَهُ وَجُدْرَانَهُ وَقُرُونَهُ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ. وَطَوَّقَهُ بِإِطَارٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].

٢٧ 27 وَصَنَعَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ثَبَّتَ كُلَّ اثْنَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا تَحْتَ الإِطَارِ عَلَى جَانِبَيْهِ، لِتُوْضَعَ فِيهَا الْعَصَوَانِ اللَّتَانِ يُحْمَلُ بِهِمَا الْمَذْبَحُ.

He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.

٢٨ 28 وَصَنَعَ الْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ الْمُغَشَّى بِالذَّهَبِ

He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.

٢٩ 29 وَصَنَعَ دُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَ وَالْبَخُورَ الْعَطِرَ النَّقِيَّ كَمَا يَصْنَعُهَا عَطَّارٌ حَاذِقٌ.

He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
