2 Mosebog 28

1 Du skal lade din Broder Aron og hans Sønner tillige med ham træde frem af Israeliternes Midte og komme hen til dig, for at de kan gøre Præstetjeneste for mig, Aron og Arons Sønner, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar og Itamar.

And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

2 Og du skal tilvirke din Broder Aron hellige Klæder til Ære og Pryd,

And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for splendour and for beauty.

3 og du skal byde alle kunstforstandige Mænd, hvem jeg har fyldt med Kunstfærdigheds Aand, at tilvirke Aron Klæder, for at han kan helliges til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.

And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office.

4 Klæderne, som de skal tilvirke, er følgende: Brystskjold, Efod, Kaabe, Kjortel af mønstret Stof, Hovedklæde og Bælte. De skal tilvirke din Broder Aron og hans Sønner hellige Klæder, for at de kan gøre Præstetjeneste for mig,

And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of chequer work, a mitre, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office.

5 og dertil skal de bruge Guldtraad, violet og rødt Purpurgarn, Karmoisinrødt Garn og Byssus.

And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 Efoden skal du tilvirke af Guldtraad, violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus i Kunstvævning.

And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.

7 Den skal have to Skulderstykker, der skal være til at hæfte paa; den skal hæftes sammen ved begge Hjørner.

It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends thereof, that it may be joined together.

8 Og dens Bælte, som skal bruges, naar den tages paa, skal være af samme Arbejde og i eet med den; det skal være af Guldtraad, violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus.

And the skilfully woven band, which is upon it, wherewith to gird it on, shall be like the work thereof and of the same piece: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 Saa skal du tage de to Sjohamsten og gravere Israels Sønners Navne i dem,

And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10 seks af Navnene paa den ene Sten og de andre seks paa den anden efter Aldersfølge;

six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth.

11 med Stenskærerarbejde, som ved Gravering af Signeter, skal du indgravere Israels Sønners Navne i de 14 Sten, og du skal indfatte dem i Guldfletværk.

With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel; thou shalt make them to be inclosed in settings of gold.

12 Disse to Sten skal du fæste paa Efodens Skulderstykker, for at Stenene kan bringe Israels Sønner i Minde, og Aron skal bære deres Navne for HERRENS Aasyn paa sine Skuldre for at bringe dem i Minde.

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 Og du skal tilvirke Fletværk af Guld

And thou shalt make settings of gold;

14 og to Kæder af purt Guld; du skal lave dem i snoet Arbejde, som naar man snor Reb, og sætte disse snoede Kæder paa Fletværket.

and two chains of pure gold; of plaited thread shalt thou make them, of wreathen work; and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the settings.

15 Fremdeles skal du tilvirke Retskendelsens Brystskjold i Kunstvævning paa samme Maade som Efoden; af Guldtraad, violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus skal du lave det;

And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.

16 det skal være firkantet og lægges dobbelt, et Spand langt og et Spand bredt,

Four-square it shall be and double: a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.

17 Og du skal udstyre det med en Besætning af Sten, fire Rækker Sten: Karneol, Topas og Smaragd i den første Række,

And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of carnelian, topaz, and smaragd shall be the first row;

18 Rubin, Safir og Jaspis i den anden,

and the second row a carbuncle, a sapphire, and an emerald;

19 Hyacint, Agat og Ametyst i den tredje,

and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 Krysolit, Sjoham og Onyks i den fjerde; og de skal omgives med Guldfletværk i deres Indfatninger.

and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be inclosed in gold in their settings.

21 Der skal være tolv Sten, svarende til Israels Sønners Navne, en for hvert Navn; det skal være graveret Arbejde som Signeter, saaledes at hver Sten bærer Navnet paa en af de tolv Stammer.

And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

22 Til Brystskjoldet skal du lave snoede Kæder af purt Guld, snoet Arbejde, som naar man snor Reb.

And thou shalt make upon the breastplate plaited chains of wreathen work of pure gold.

23 Til Brystskjoldet skal du lave to Guldringe og sætte disse to Ringe paa Brystskjoldets øverste Hjørner,

And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 og de to Guldsnore skal du knytte i de to Ringe paa Brystskjoldets Hjørner;

And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25 Snorenes anden Ende skal du anbringe i det Fletværker og fæste dem paa Forsiden af Efodens Skulderstykke.

And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof.

26 Og du skal lave to andre Guldringe og sætte dem paa Brystskjoldets to andre Hjørner paa den indre, mod Efoden vendende Rand.

And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

27 Og du skal lave endnu to Guldringe og fæste dem paa Efodens to Skulderstykker forneden paa Forsiden, hvor den er hæftet sammen med Skulderstykkerne, oven over Efodens Bælte;

And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.

28 og man skal med Ringene binde Brystskjoldet fast til Efodens Ringe ved Hjælp af en violet Purpursnor, saa at det kommer til at sidde oven over Efodens Bælte og ikke løsner sig fra Efoden.

And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue, that it may be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

29 Aron skal saaledes stedse bære Israels Sønners Navne paa Retskendelsens Brystskjold paa sit Hjerte, naar han gaar ind i Helligdommen, for at bringe dem i Minde for HERRENS Aasyn.

And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.

30 Og i Retskendelsens Brystskjold skal du lægge Urim og Tummim, saa at Aron bærer dem paa sit Hjerte, naar han gaar ind for HERRENS Aasyn, og Aron skal stedse bære Israeliternes Retskendelse paa sit Hjerte for HERRENS Aasyn.

And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.

31 Fremdeles skal du tilvirke Kaaben, som hører til Efoden, helt og holdent af violet Purpur.

And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32 Midt paa skal den have en Halsaabning ligesom Halsaabningen paa en Panserskjorte, omgivet af en Linning i vævet Arbejde, for at den ikke skal rives itu;

And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof; it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail that it be not rent.

33 og langs dens nederste Kant skal du sy Granatæbler af violet og rødt Purpurgarn og karmoisinrødt Garn og mellem dem Guldbjælder hele Vejen rundt,

And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:

34 saa at Guldbjælder og Granatæbler skifter hele Vejen rundt langs Kaabens nederste Kant.

a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.

35 Aron skal bære den, naar han gør Tjeneste, saa at det kan høres, naar han gaar ind i Helligdommen for HERRENS Aasyn, og naar han gaar ud derfra, at han ikke skal dø,

And it shall be upon Aaron to minister; and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

36 Fremdeles skal du lave en Pandeplade af purt Guld, og i den skal du gravere, som naar man graverer Signeter: »Helliget HERREN.«

And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO THE LORD.

37 Den skal du fastgøre med en violet Purpursnor, og den skal sidde paa Hovedklædet, foran paa Hovedklædet skal den sidde.

And thou shalt put it on a thread of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

38 Aron skal bære den paa sin Pande, for at han kan tage de Synder paa sig, som klæder ved de hellige Gaver, Israeliterne frembærer, ved alle de hellige Gaver, de bringer; og Aron skal stedse have den paa sin Pande for at vinde dem HERRENS Velbehag.

And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity committed in the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow, even in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

39 Kjortelen skal du væve i mønstret Vævning af Byssus. Og du skal tilvirke et Hovedklæde af Byssus og et Bælte i broget Vævning.

And thou shalt weave the tunic in chequer work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the weaver in colours.

40 Ogsaa til Arons Sønner skal du tilvirke Kjortler, og du skal tilvirke Bælter til dem og Huer til Ære og Pryd.

And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make tunics, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for splendour and for beauty.

41 Og du skal iføre din Broder Aron og hans Sønner dem, og du skal salve dem, indsætte dem og hellige dem til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.

And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office.

42 Tillige skal du tilvirke Linnedbenklæder til dem til at skjule deres Blusel, og de skal naa fra Hoften ned paa Laarene.

And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach.

43 Dem skal Aron og hans Sønner bære, naar de gaar ind i Aabenbaringsteltet eller træder frem til Alteret for at gøre Tjeneste i Helligdommen, at de ikke skal paadrage sig Skyld og lide Døden. En evig gyldig Anordning skal det være for ham og hans Afkom efter ham.

And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die; it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him.
