Exodus 26
1 “[Tell the people to] make the Sacred Tent using ten long strips of fine linen. They must take blue, purple, and red thread (OR, weave the strips from blue, purple, and red thread), and [a skilled craftsman] must embroider these strips with [designs that represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
Tabernaculum vero ita facies: Decem cortinas de bysso retorta, et hyacintho, ac purpura, coccoque bis tincto, variatas opere plumario facies.
2 Each strip is to be (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
Longitudo cortinæ unius habebit vigintiocto cubitos: latitudo, quattuor cubitorum erit. Unius mensuræ fient universa tentoria.
3 [Tell them to] sew five strips together to make one set, and sew the other five strips together to make another set.
Quinque cortinæ sibi iungentur mutuo, et aliæ quinque nexu simili cohærebunt.
4 For each set, [they must] make loops of blue [cloth] and fasten them along the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
Ansulas hyacinthinas in lateribus ac summitatibus facies cortinarum, ut possint invicem copulari.
5 [They must] put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
Quinquagenas ansulas cortina habebit in utraque parte, ita insertas, ut ansa contra ansam veniat, et altera alteri possit aptari.
6 [Tell them to] make 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. As a result, the inside of the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
Facies et quinquaginta circulos aureos quibus cortinarum vela iungenda sunt, ut unum tabernaculum fiat.
7 Also, [tell them to] make a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
Facies et saga cilicina undecim, ad operiendum tectum tabernaculi.
8 Each piece of cloth is to be (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
Longitudo sagi unius habebit triginta cubitos: et latitudo, quattuor: æqua erit mensura sagorum omnium.
9 [Tell them to] sew five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and sew the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set. [They] must fold the sixth piece [of cloth] in half to make it double over the front of the Sacred Tent.
E quibus quinque iunges seorsum, et sex sibi mutuo copulabis, ita ut sextum sagum in fronte tecti duplices.
10 [Tell them to] make 100 loops [of blue cloth], and to fasten 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and fasten 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
Facies et quinquaginta ansas in ora sagi unius, ut coniungi cum altero queat: et quinquaginta ansas in ora sagi alterius, ut cum altero copuletur.
11 [Tell them to] make fifty bronze clasps/fasteners and put them in the cloth loops to join the two sets together. As a result, the cover for the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
Facies et quinquaginta fibulas æneas, quibus iungantur ansæ, ut unum ex omnibus operimentum fiat.
12 [Let] the extra part of the cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth], hang over the back of the Sacred Tent.
Quod autem superfuerit in sagis quæ parantur tecto, id est, unum sagum quod amplius est, ex medietate eius operies posteriora tabernaculi.
13 The extra half yard/meter of each cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth] on each side, must hang over the two sides of the Sacred Tent, to protect the sides.
Et cubitus ex una parte pendebit, et alter ex altera qui plus est in sagorum longitudine, utrumque latus tabernaculi protegens.
14 [Tell them to] make two more covers for the Sacred Tent. One is to be made from rams’ skins that have been (tanned/dyed red), and the top cover is to be made from goatskin leather.”
Facies et operimentum aliud tecto de pellibus arietum rubricatis: et super hoc rursum aliud operimentum de ianthinis pellibus.
15 “[Tell them to] make frames from acacia wood, frames that will be set up [from which to hang the Sacred Tent covers].
Facies et tabulas stantes tabernaculi de lignis setim,
16 Each frame is to be (five yards/four meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
quæ singulæ denos cubitos in longitudine habeant, et in latitudine singulos ac semissem.
17 [They] must make two projections at the bottom of each frame. These will be to fasten the frames to the bases underneath them. They must make these projections at the bottom of each frame.
In lateribus tabulæ, duæ incastraturæ fient, quibus tabula alteri tabulæ connectatur: atque in hunc modum cunctæ tabulæ parabuntur.
18 Make 20 frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
Quarum viginti erunt in latere meridiano quod vergit ad Austrum.
19 [Tell them to] make 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases will go under each frame. The projections [at the bottom] of each frame are [to be made] to fit into the bases.
Quibus quadraginta bases argenteas fundes, ut binæ bases singulis tabulis per duos angulos subiiciantur.
20 [Similarly], [tell them to] make twenty frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
In latere quoque secundo tabernaculi quod vergit ad Aquilonem, viginti tabulæ erunt,
21 [They] must make 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases to be put under each frame.
quadraginta habentes bases argenteas: binæ bases singulis tabulis supponentur.
22 For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, [tell them to] make six frames.
Ad occidentalem vero plagam tabernaculi facies sex tabulas,
23 Also, [tell them to] make two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
et rursum alias duas quæ in angulis erigantur post tergum tabernaculi.
24 The two corner frames must be joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames there must be a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
Eruntque coniunctæ a deorsum usque sursum, et una omnes compago retinebit. Duabus quoque tabulis quæ in angulis ponendæ sunt, similis iunctura servabitur.
25 In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there will be eight frames, and there will be 16 bases, two under each frame.
Et erunt simul tabulæ octo, bases earum argenteæ sedecim, duabus basibus per unam tabulam supputatis.
26 [Tell them to] make 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
Facies et vectes de lignis setim quinque ad continendas tabulas in uno latere tabernaculi,
27 Five of them will be for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five will be for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
et quinque alios in altero, et eiusdem numeri ad occidentalem plagam:
28 Tell them to fasten the crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent to the middle of the frames. The two long ones must extend from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side must extend from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other.
qui mittentur per medias tabulas a summo usque ad summum.
29 [Tell them to] cover the frames with gold, and make gold rings to fasten the crossbars to the frames. The crossbars must [also] be covered with gold.
Ipsas quoque tabulas deaurabis, et fundes in eis annulos aureos per quos vectes tabulata contineant: quos operies laminis aureis.
30 Erect the Sacred Tent in the way that I have shown you [here] on [this] mountain.”
Et eriges tabernaculum iuxta exemplar quod tibi in Monte monstratum est.
31 “[Tell them to] make a curtain from fine linen. A skilled craftsman must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making [designs to represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
Facies et velum de hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere plumario et pulchra varietate contextum:
32 [Tell them to] suspend/hang the curtain from four posts made from acacia wood and covered with gold. Set [each] post in a silver base.
quod appendes ante quattuor columnas de lignis setim, quæ ipsæ quidem deauratæ erunt, et habebunt capita aurea, sed bases argenteas.
33 [They] must suspend/hang the [top of the] curtain by hooks that are fastened to the roof of the Sacred Tent. Behind the curtain, in the [room called the] Very Holy Place, [they] must put the chest containing the [two stone slabs on which I have written my] commandments. That curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place.
Inseretur autem velum per circulos, intra quod pones arcam testimonii, quo et Sanctuarium, et Sanctuarii sanctuaria dividentur.
34 On top of the chest in the Very Holy Place [they] must put the lid which will be the place where [blood will be sprinkled to] forgive people’s sins.
Pones et propitiatorium super arcam testimonii in Sancto sanctorum:
35 [In the room that is] outside of the Very Holy Place, [they] must put the table [for the sacred] bread on the north side, and put the lampstand on the south side.
mensamque extra velum: et contra mensam candelabrum in latere tabernaculi meridiano: mensa enim stabit in parte Aquilonis.
36 [Tell them to] make a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They must make it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
Facies et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi de hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere plumarii.
37 To hold up this curtain, [they] must make five posts from acacia wood. [They] must cover them with gold, and fasten gold clasps/fasteners to them. Also [they] must make a bronze base for each of these posts.”
Et quinque columnas deaurabis lignorum setim, ante quas ducetur tentorium: quarum erunt capita aurea, et bases æneæ.
