خرُوج 39

١ 1 وَحَاكُوا مِنَ الْخُيُوطِ الزَّرْقَاءِ وَالْبَنَفْسَجِيَّةِ وَالْحَمْرَاءِ ثِيَاباً مَنْسُوجَةً لاِرْتِدَائِهَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ خِدْمَةِ الْمَقْدِسِ، وَكَذَلِكَ نَسَجُوا مِنْهَا ثِيَابَ هَرُونَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled workmen made the beautiful clothes for Aaron to wear while he did his work as a priest in the Holy Place. They made them from blue, purple, and red cloth, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

٢ 2 فَنَسَجُوا الرِّدَاءَ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَنَسِيجِ الْكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومِ.

They made the sacred apron from fine white linen and from blue, purple, and red cloth.

٣ 3 وَطَرَقُوا الذَّهَبَ رَقَائِقَ، وَقَدُّوهَا خُيُوطاً لِيَنْسِجُوهَا بَيْنَ الْخُيُوطِ الزَّرْقَاءِ وَالْبَنَفْسَجِيَّةِ وَالْحَمْرَاءِ وَالْكَتَّانِيَّةِ صَنْعَةَ مُطَرِّزٍ حَاذِقٍ.

They hammered some thin sheets of gold and cut them into thin strips which they embroidered into the fine linen and into the blue, purple, and red cloth.

٤ 4 وَصَنَعُوا لِلرِّدَاءِ كَتِفَيْنِ مَوْصُولَيْنِ عِنْدَ الطَّرَفَيْنِ لِيُمْكِنَ تَثْبِيتُهُ.

The apron had two shoulder straps, to join the front part to the back part at the shoulders.

٥ 5 أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ فَقَدْ حِيكَ مِنْ ذَاتِ نَوْعِ الْقُمَاشِ، مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

A carefully-woven sash, which was made from the same materials as the sacred apron, was [sewn] onto the sacred apron. This was made exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

٦ 6 وَأَحَاطُوا حَجَرَيِ الْجَزْعِ بِطَوْقَينِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نُقِشَتْ عَلَيْهِمَا أَسْمَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا يُنْقَشُ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ.

They cut two valuable onyx stones and enclosed them in a tiny gold frame, and a skilled gem-cutter engraved on the stones the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.

٧ 7 وَتَمَّ تَثْبِيتُهَا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ، كَحَجَرَيْ تَذْكِرَةٍ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

They fastened the stones to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron, to represent the twelve Israeli tribes, exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

٨ 8 وَحَاكُوا الصُّدْرَةَ حِيَاكَةَ مُطَرِّزٍ حَاذِقٍ مِنْ ذَاتِ نَسِيجِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ.

They made the sacred chest pouch. They made it of the same materials as the sacred apron and embroidered it in the same way.

٩ 9 وَكَانَتِ الصُّدْرَةُ مُرَبَّعَةً، طُولُهَا شِبْرٌ وَعَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ، وَمَثْنِيَّةً،

It was square, and the material was folded double, so that it was (9 in./22 cm.) long and (9 in./22 cm.) wide.

١٠ 10 مُرَصَّعَةً بِأَرْبَعَةِ صُفُوفِ حِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ، الصَّفُّ الأَوَّلُ عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ.

They fastened four rows of valuable stones onto the pouch. In the first row, they put a [red] ruby, a [yellow] topaz, and a [red] garnet.

١١ 11 وَالصَّفُّ الثَّانِي بَهْرَمَانُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ.

In the second row, they put a [green] emerald, a [blue] sapphire, and a [clear/white] diamond.

١٢ 12 وَالصَّفُّ الثَّالِثُ عَيْنُ الهِرِّ وَيَشْمٌ وَجَمَشْتُ

In the third row they put a [red] jacinth, a [white] agate, and a [purple] amethyst.

١٣ 13 وَالصَّفُّ الرَّابِعُ زَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشْبٌ. وَكَانَتْ كُلُّهَا مُحَاطَةً بِأَطْوَاقٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي تَرْصِيعِهَا.

In the fourth row, they put a [yellow] beryl, a [red] carnelian, and a [green] jasper. They set each of the stones in tiny gold frames.

١٤ 14 وَنُقِشَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَجَرٍ مِنَ الأَحْجَارِ الْكَرِيمَةِ اسْمُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ كَمَا يُنْقَشُ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ،

On each of the twelve stones they engraved the name of one of the sons of Jacob, to represent one of the twelve Israeli tribes.

١٥ 15 وَصَنَعُوا عَلَى الصُّدْرَةِ سِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مَضْفُورَتَيْنِ كَحَبْلٍ.

They made two [chains] from pure gold and braided them like cords, to [attach] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].

١٦ 16 وَصَاغُوا طَوْقَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَحَلْقَتَيْنِ ذَهَبِيَّتَيْنِ، وَثَبَّتُوا الْحَلْقَتَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ.

They made two gold rings, and they attached them to the upper corners of the sacred pouch.

١٧ 17 وَأَدْخَلُوا سِلْسِلَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ فِي الْحَلْقَتَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ.

They fastened one end of each cord to one of the rings.

١٨ 18 وَأَمَّا طَرَفَا السِّلْسِلَتَيْنِ فَرَبَطُوهُمَا بِالطَّوْقَيْنِ، وَثَبَّتُوهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنَ الأَمَامِ.

They fastened the other end of each cord to the two (settings/tiny frames) [that enclosed the stones]. Then they attached the sacred pouch to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron.

١٩ 19 كَذَلِكَ صَاغُوا حَلْقَتَيْنِ ذَهَبِيَّتَيْنِ وَثَبَّتُوهُمَا عَلَى حَاشِيَةِ طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُلاصِقَةِ لِلرِّدَاءِ.

Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the lower corners of the sacred pouch, on the inside edges, next to the sacred apron.

٢٠ 20 كَمَا صَاغُوا حَلْقَتَيْنِ ذَهَبِيَّتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَوَضَعُوهُمَا عَلَى أَسْفَلِ كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنَ الأَمَامِ، عِنْدَ مَكَانِ الْوَصْلِ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ.

They made two more gold rings and attached them to the lower part of the front of the shoulder straps, near to where [the shoulder straps] were joined [to the sacred apron], just above the carefully-woven sash/waistband.

٢١ 21 وَرَبَطُوا حَلْقَتَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ إِلَى حَلْقَتَيِ الرِّدَاءِ بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ لِتَثْبُتَ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ وَهَكَذَا لَا تُنْتَزَعُ الصُّدْرَةُ عَنِ الرِّدَاءِ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

They tied the rings on the sacred pouch to the rings on the sacred apron with a blue cord, so that the sacred pouch was above the sash/waistband and would not come loose from the sacred apron.

٢٢ 22 وَصَنَعُوا جُبَّةَ الرِّدَاءِ مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ صِنَاعَةَ حَائِكٍ حَاذِقٍ،

They made the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron, using only blue [cloth].

٢٣ 23 فَكَانَ لَهَا فَتْحَةٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا عَلَى غِرَارِ فَتْحَةِ الْقَمِيصِ، ذَاتُ حَاشِيَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ لِئَلّا تَتَمَزَّقَ

It had an opening through which [the priest] would put his head. They sewed a border around this opening, to prevent the material from tearing.

٢٤ 24 وَجَعَلُوا عَلَى اسْتِدَارَةِ أَذْيَالِهَا رُمَّانَاتٍ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ كَتَّانِيَّةٍ مَبْرُومَةٍ زَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ.

At the lower edge on the robe, they fastened [decorations that resembled] pomegranate fruit. The decorations were [woven from] blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.

٢٥ 25 وَعَلَّقُوا بَيْنَهَا أَجْرَاساً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ.

Between each of these decorations, they fastened a tiny bell made from pure gold, so there was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, alternating all around the hem of the robe

٢٦ 26 فَكَانَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رُمَّانَتَيْنِ جَرَسٌ مُعَلَّقٌ عَلَى اسْتِدَارَةِ هُدْبِ الْجُبَّةِ الَّتِي تُرْتَدَى فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْخِدْمَةِ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

for [Aaron to wear while] he did his work as a priest. They made all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

٢٧ 27 وَنَسَجُوا أَقْمِصَةَ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.

They wove long-sleeved tunics/gowns from fine white linen, for Aaron and his sons.

٢٨ 28 وَكَذَلِكَ الْعِمَامَةَ وَعَصَائِبَ الْقَلانِسِ وَالسَّرَاوِيلِ، نَسَجُوهَا كُلَّهَا مِنْ خُيُوطِ الْكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومَةِ.

They also made a turban of fine linen [for Aaron to wear around his head]. They made the caps and the undershorts [for Aaron’s sons] from fine linen.

٢٩ 29 أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ فَقَدْ حَاكُوهُ مِنْ خُيُوطِ الْكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومَةِ ذَاتِ الأَلْوَانِ الزَّرْقَاءِ وَالْبَنَفْسَجِيَّةِ وَالْحَمْرَاءِ، تَطْرِيزَ حَائِكٍ حَاذِقٍ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

They made the embroidered sash/waistband [for Aaron] from fine linen and from blue, purple, and red cloth, and they embroidered designs on it using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

٣٠ 30 وَصَنَعُوا صَفِيحَةَ الإِكْلِيلِ الْمُقَدَّسِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، وَنَقَشُوا عَلَيْهَا كَمَا يُنْقَشُ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ: «قُدْسٌ لِلرَّبِّ».

They also made the tiny ornament of pure gold and had a skilled workman engrave on it the words, ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’.

٣١ 31 وَثَبَّتُوهَا بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ عِمَامَةِ هَرُونَ تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

They fastened this to the front of the turban by a blue cord, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

٣٢ 32 وَهَكَذَا اكْتَمَلَ كُلُّ بِنَاءِ مَسْكَنِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. فَأَقَامَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُوجِبِ مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ مُوسَى.

Finally they finished all the work to make the Sacred Tent. They brought to Moses/me all the things that they had made. They had made them exactly as Yahweh had commanded me.

٣٣ 33 فَجَاءُوا بِالْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى مُوسَى، الْخَيْمَةِ وَجَمِيعِ أَوَانِيهَا وَمَشَابِكِهَا وَأَلْوَاحِهَا وَعَوَارِضِهَا وَأَعْمِدَتِهَا وَقَوَاعِدِهَا

The Israeli people had done all this work exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
