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.

Thou thyself, therefore bring near unto thee—Aaron thy brother and his sons with him out of the midst of the sons of Israel, that they may minister as priests unto me, —Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar sons of Aaron.

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 glory 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.

Thou thyself, therefore, shalt speak unto all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, —and they shall make Aaron’s garments, to hallow him for ministering as priest unto me.

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,

These, therefore are the garments which they shall make—a breastpiece, and an ephod and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a turban and a girdle, —so shall they make holy garments for Aaron thy brother and for his sons, for ministering as priests unto me.

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

They themselves, therefore, shall take the gold, and the blue and the purple, —and the crimson, 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, blue and purple crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of a skilful weaver.

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

Two joining shoulderpieces, shall there be to it upon the two extremities 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 curious band for fastening it, that is upon it, like the work thereof of the same, shall it be, —of gold blue and purple and crimson 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 engrave upon them the names of the sons 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 second stone according to their births:

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 a stone engraver, like seal-ring engravings, shalt thou engrave the two stones, after the names of the sons of Israel, —to be encircled with settings of gold, shalt thou make them.

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 shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, —so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders, for a memorial.

13 Og du skal tilvirke Fletværk af Guld

And thou shalt make ouches 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, like cord, shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the ouches.

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 breastpiece for giving sentence the work of a skilful weaver, like the work of the ephod, shalt thou make it, of gold, blue, and purple and crimson 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, shall it be double, —a span 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 therein a setting of stones, four rows of stones, —one row—a sardius, a topaz and an emerald, the first row;

18 Rubin, Safir og Jaspis i den anden,

and the second row a carbuncle a sapphire and a diamond;

19 Hyacint, Agat og Ametyst i den tredje,

and the third row an opal, 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 Tarshish stone, a sardonyx, and a jasper, —enclosed with gold, shall they be when they are set.

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 after the names of the sons of Israel—twelve, after their names, —as the engravings of a seal-ring everyone after his name, shall they 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 breastpiece, chains like cords 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 breastpiece, two rings of gold, —and thou shalt place the two rings, upon the two ends of the breastpiece.

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

And thou shalt hang the two wreathen chains of gold upon the two rings, —upon the ends of the breastpiece;

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, shalt thou fasten upon the two ouches, so shalt thou hang them upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forefront 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 put them on the two ends of the breastpiece upon the border thereof, which is on the side of the ephod inwards.

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 place them upon the two shoulderpieces of the ephod beneath, on the front of the face thereof, over against its joining, above the curious 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.

that they may bind the breastpiece by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue, so that it may remain upon the curious band of the ephod, and the breastpiece not be removed from of 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.

So shall Aaron bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece for giving sentence upon his heart when he goeth into the holy place, —for a memorial before Yahweh 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.

Thus shalt thou place, in the breastpiece for giving sentence, the lights and the perfections, so shall they be upon the heart of Aaron when he goeth in before Yahweh, —so shall Aaron bear the sentence of the sons of Israel, upon his heart before Yahweh 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 wholly 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 the opening for his head shall be in the midst thereof, —a border, shall there be to the opening thereof round about the work of a weaver, like the opening of a coat of mail, shall there be to it, it must not be 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 thou shalt make upon the skirts thereof pomegranates of blue and purple and crimson, upon the skirts thereof round about—and bells of gold in the midst of them round about:

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

a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold, 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, for ministering, —so shall be heard the sound of him—when he goeth into the holy place, before Yahweh, and cometh out, and dieth 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 burnished plate, of pure gold, —and shalt engrave thereupon, like the engravings of a seal-ring, Holiness to Yahweh.

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 upon a cord of blue, so shall it be upon the turban, —upon the forefront of the turban, shall it 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.

So shall it be upon the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the hallowed things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow, for all their hallowed gift, —and it shall be upon his forehead continually, that there may be acceptance for them before Yahweh.

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, in checker work the tunic of fine linen, and shalt make a turban of fine linen, —and, a girdle, shalt thou make the work of an embroiderer.

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

And, for the sons of Aaron, shalt thou make tunics, and shalt make for them girdles, —and caps, shalt thou make for them, for glory 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 clothe therewith Aaron thy brother, and his sons, with him, —and shalt anoint them and install them, and hallow them, so shall they minister as priests unto me.

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 for them breeches of linen, to cover their unseemliness, from the loins even unto the thighs, shall they be;

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.

so shall they be upon Aaron and upon his sons, when they go into the tent of meeting, or when they approach unto the altar, to minister in the holy place, lest they bear iniquity, and die, —a statute age-abiding, to him and to his seed after him.
