2 Mosebog 28
1 Og du skal lade din Broder Aron komme frem til dig og hans Sønner med ham, midt ud af Israels Børn, til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig, Aron og Arons Sønner, Nadab og Abihu, Eleasar og Ithamar.
“Summon your [older] brother Aaron and his sons—Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ([Set them apart/They are the ones whom I have chosen]) from [the rest of] the Israeli people, in order that they can serve me [by being] priests.
2 Og du skal gøre Aron, din Broder, hellige Klæder, til Ære og Prydelse.
[Tell the people to] make beautiful clothes for Aaron, clothes that are [suitable for one who] has this dignified and sacred [work].
3 Og du skal tale med alle, som ere vise i Hjertet, hvilke jeg har opfyldt med Visdoms Aand; og de skulle gøre Aron Klæder til at hellige ham, til at han maa gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.
Talk to all the skilled workmen, those to whom I have given special ability. [Tell them] to make clothes for Aaron, for him to wear when he is (set apart/dedicated) [to become] a priest to serve me.
4 Og disse ere de Klæder, som de skulle gøre: Et Brystspan og en Livkjortel og en Overkjortel og en knyttet Kjortel, en Hue og et Bælte; og de skulle gøre Aron din Broder og hans Sønner hellige Klæder, til at de maa gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.
These are the clothes that they are to make: A sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest, a sacred apron, a robe, an embroidered tunic/gown, a (turban/cloth to wrap around his head), and a sash/waistband. These are the clothes that your [older] brother Aaron and his sons must wear as they serve me [by doing the work that] priests do.
5 Og de skulle tage Guldet og det blaa uldne og Purpuret og Skarlagenet og det hvide Linned.
The skilled workmen must use fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make these clothes.”
6 Og de skulle gøre Livkjortlen af Guld, blaat uldent og Purpur, Skarlagen og hvidt tvundet Linned, med kunstig Gerning.
“The skilled workmen must make the sacred apron from fine linen, and skillfully embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
7 To Skulderstykker, som kunne sammenføjes, skal den have ved begge dens Ender, og den skal sammenføjes.
It must have two shoulder straps, to join the front part to the back part.
8 Og Bæltet om den, som omslutter den, skal være af samme Arbejde, ud af eet Stykke dermed, af Guld, blaat uldent og Purpur og Skarlagen og hvidt tvundet Linned.
A carefully-woven sash, which must be made from the same materials as the sacred apron, must be [sewn] onto the sacred apron.
9 Og du skal tage to Onyksstene og grave paa dem Israels Børns Navne:
[A skilled workman] must take two [expensive] onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.
10 Seks af deres Navne paa den ene Sten, og de øvrige seks Navne paa den anden Sten, efter deres Fødsel.
He must engrave the names in the order in which Jacob’s sons were born. He must engrave six names on one stone, and the other six names on the other stone.
11 Med Stenskærerarbejde, saaledes som man udgraver et Signet, skal du lade udgrave begge Stenene efter Israels Børns Navne; du skal lade dem indfatte rundt omkring med Guldfletninger.
A gem-cutter should engrave these names on the stones. Then he should enclose the stones in (settings/tiny gold frames).
12 Og du skal sætte begge Stene paa Livkjortlens Skulderstykker, de skulle være Stene til en Ihukommelse for Israels Børn; og Aron skal bære deres Navne for Herrens Aasyn paa begge sine Skuldre til en Ihukommelse.
Then he should fasten the stones onto the shoulder straps [of the sacred apron], to represent the twelve Israeli tribes. In that way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes on his shoulders in order that [I], Yahweh, will never forget [my people] (OR, in order that [he will always] remember that [those tribes belong to] Yahweh).
13 Du skal og gøre Guldfletninger
The settings for the stones must be made from gold.
14 og to Kæder af purt Guld, fastslyngede skal du gøre dem, af snoet Arbejde; og du skal fæste de snoede Kæder paa Fletningerne.
[Tell them to] make two tiny chains that are braided like cords, and fasten the chains to the settings.”
15 Og du skal gøre Rettens Brystspan med kunstigt Arbejde, med samme Arbejde som Livkjortlen skal du gøre det; af Guld, blaat uldent og Purpur og Skarlagen og hvidt tvundet Linned skal du gøre det.
“[Tell the skilled workman to] make a sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest. [He will use the things he puts into the pouch] to determine [my answers to the questions he asks]. It must be made of the same materials as the sacred apron, and embroidered in the same way.
16 Det skal være firkantet, dobbelt, et Spand langt og et Spand bredt.
It is to be square, and the material must be folded double, so that it is (9 in./22 cm.) on each side.
17 Og du skal indfatte en Besætning af Stene derpaa, fire Rader Stene; een Rad: En Karneol, en Topas og en Smaragd, som den første Rad;
[The skilled workman must] fasten four rows of valuable stones onto the pouch. In the first row he must put a [red] ruby, a [yellow] topaz, and a [red] garnet.
18 og den anden Rad: En Karfunkel, en Safir og en Demant;
In the second row he must put a [green] emerald, a [blue] sapphire, and a [clear/white] diamond.
19 og den tredje Rad: En Hyacint, en Agat og en Ametyst;
In the third row he must put a [red] jacinth, a [white] agate, and a [purple] amethyst.
20 og den fjerde Rad: En Krysolit og en Onyks og en Jaspis; de skulle have Fletninger af Guld om deres Indfatninger.
In the fourth row he must put a [yellow] beryl, a [red] carnelian, and a [green] jasper.
21 Og Stenene skulle være efter Israels Børns Navne, tolv efter deres Navne; som man udgraver et Signet, skulle de være, hver med sit Navn, efter de tolv Stammer.
A gem-cutter should engrave on each of these twelve stones the name of one of the sons of Jacob. These names will represent the twelve Israeli tribes.
22 Og du skal gøre fastslyngede Kæder til Brystspannet, snoet Arbejde, af purt Guld.
The two [chains] that are made from pure gold and braided like cords are for [attaching] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].
23 Og du skal gøre to Guldringe paa Brystspannet og sætte de to Ringe paa de tvende Ender af Brystspannet.
[The workman must] make two gold rings, and attach them to the upper corners of the sacred pouch.
24 Og du skal sætte de to snoede Guldkæder i de to Ringe ved Enderne af Brystspannet.
[He must make] two gold cords, and fasten one end of each cord to one of the rings.
25 Men de to Ender af de to snoede Kæder skal du sætte paa de to Fletninger og sætte dem paa Skulderstykkerne af Livkjortlen, paa Forsiden deraf.
He must fasten the other end of each cord to the two settings [that enclose the stones]. In that way, the sacred pouch will be attached to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron.
26 Og du skal gøre to Guldringe og sætte dem paa de to andre Ender af Brystspannet, paa den Æg deraf, som vender indad mod Livkjortlen.
Then [he must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower corners of the sacred pouch, on the inside edges, next to the sacred apron.
27 Og du skal gøre to Guldringe og sætte dem paa de to Skulderstykker af Livkjortlen, forneden paa Forsiden deraf, der hvor den fæstes sammen oven for Livkjortlens Bælte.
[He must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower part of the front of the shoulder straps, near to where [the shoulder straps] are joined [to the sacred apron], just above the carefully-woven sash/waistband.
28 Og de skulle ombinde Brystspannet ved dets Ringe, til Ringene paa Livkjortlen, med en blaa ulden Snor, at det skal være over Livkjortlens Bælte; og Brystspannet skal ikke skilles fra Livkjortlen.
The skilled workman must tie the rings on the sacred pouch to the rings on the sacred apron with a blue cord, so that the sacred pouch is above the sash/waistband and does not come loose from the sacred apron.
29 Og Aron skal bære Israels Børns Navne i Rettens Brystspan paa sit Hjerte, naar han kommer i Helligdommen, til en Ihukommelse for Herrens Ansigt altid.
In that way, Aaron will have the names of the twelve Israeli tribes in the sacred pouch close to his chest when he enters the Holy Place. This will remind him that I, Yahweh, [will never forget my people] (OR, [that he represents my people when he talks to me, Yahweh]).
30 Du skal og lægge i Rettens Brystspan Urim og Tummim, og de skulle være paa Arons Hjerte, naar han gaar ind for Herren, og Aron skal bære Israels Børns Ret paa sit Hjerte for Herrens Ansigt altid.
Put into the sacred pouch the two things that the priest will use to determine my answers to the questions he asks. In that way, they will be close to his chest when he enters [the Holy Place to talk] to me. He will use them to find out what is my will for the Israeli people.”
31 Du skal og gøre en Overkjortel til Livkjortlen helt igennem af blaat uldent.
“[Tell the workmen to] use only blue [cloth] to make the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron.
32 Og der skal være et Hul oven i den, midt derpaa; der skal være en Bort om Hullet paa den rundt omkring, vævet Arbejde, Hullet paa den skal være som paa et Panser, at den ikke skal rives ud.
It is to have an opening through which [the priest] can put his head. They must sew a border around this opening, to keep the material from tearing.
33 Og du skal gøre paa dens Sømme forneden Granatæbler af blaat uldent og Purpur og Skarlagen, trindt omkring paa dens Sømme forneden, og Guldbjælder midt imellem dem trindt omkring.
At the lower edge on the robe, they must fasten [decorations that look like] pomegranate fruit. They must be [woven from] blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
34 En Guldbjælde og et Granatæble, og atter en Guldbjælde og et Granatæble paa Overkjortlens Sømme forneden trindt omkring.
Between each of these decorations, they must fasten a tiny gold bell.
35 Og Aron skal have den paa, naar han gør Tjeneste, at Lyden deraf kan høres, naar han gaar ind i Helligdommen for Herrens Aasyn, og naar han gaar ud, at han ikke skal dø.
When Aaron enters the Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to do his work as a priest and when he leaves the Sacred Tent, the bells will ring [as he walks]. As a result, he will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
36 Du skal og gøre en Plade af purt Guld og udgrave derpaa, som man udgraver et Signet: Helliget Herren.
“[Tell them to] make a tiny ornament of pure gold, and tell a (skilled workman/gem-cutter) to engrave on it the words, ‘Dedicated to Yahweh.’
37 Og du skal fæste den ved en blaa ulden Snor, og den skal være paa Huen; for paa Huen skal den være.
They should fasten this ornament to the front of the turban by a blue cord.
38 Og den skal være over Arons Pande, og Aron skal bære Synden, som er ved de hellige Ting, som Israels Børn hellige, i alle deres helligede Gaver; og den skal være over hans Pande altid, at de maa finde Velbehag for Herrens Ansigt.
Aaron must always wear this on his forehead. In that way, Aaron himself will show [that he accepts] the guilt if the Israeli people offer [their sacrifices] to me in a way that is not correct, and I, Yahweh, will accept their sacrifices.
39 Du skal og knytte en Underkjortel af hvidt Linned og gøre en Hue af hvidt Linned, og du skal gøre et Bælte med stukket Arbejde.
“[Tell them to] weave the long-sleeved tunic/gown from fine linen. Also, they must make from fine linen a turban and a sash/waistband, and embroider [designs on it].
40 Du skal og gøre Arons Sønner Kjortler og gøre dem Bælter, og du skal gøre dem høje Huer til Ære og til Prydelse.
“[Tell them to] make beautiful long-sleeved tunics/gowns, sashes, and caps for Aaron’s sons. Make ones that will be suitable for those who have this dignified work.
41 Og du skal iføre Aron din Broder dem og hans Sønner med ham, og du skal salve dem og fylde deres Hænder og hellige dem, og de skulle gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.
Put these clothes on your [older] brother Aaron and on his sons. Then (set them apart/dedicate them) for this work by anointing them [with olive oil], in order that they may serve me [by being] priests.
42 Og du skal gøre dem linnede Underklæder til at skjule deres Blusel, fra Lænderne indtil Laarene skulle de naa.
Also [tell them to] make linen undershorts for them. The undershorts should extend from their waists to their thighs, in order that no one can see their private parts.
43 Og dem skal Aron og hans Sønner have paa, naar de gaa ind i Forsamlingens Paulun, eller de gaa nær til Alteret for at tjene i Helligdommen, at de ikke skulle paadrage sig Skyld og dø. Dette skal være en evig Skik for ham og hans Sæd efter ham.
Aaron and his sons must always wear those undershorts when they enter the Sacred Tent or when they come near to the altar to offer sacrifices in the Holy Place. If they do not obey this command, I will cause them to die. Aaron and all his male descendants must obey this rule forever.”
