Exodus 39

1 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.

de hyacintho vero et purpura vermiculo ac bysso fecit vestes quibus indueretur Aaron quando ministrabat in sanctis sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi

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

fecit igitur superumerale de auro hyacintho et purpura coccoque bis tincto et bysso retorta

3 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.

opere polymitario inciditque bratteas aureas et extenuavit in fila ut possint torqueri cum priorum colorum subtemine

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

duasque oras sibi invicem copulatas in utroque latere summitatum

5 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.

et balteum ex hisdem coloribus sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi

6 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.

paravit et duos lapides onychinos adstrictos et inclusos auro et sculptos arte gemmaria nominibus filiorum Israhel

7 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.

posuitque eos in lateribus superumeralis in monumentum filiorum Israhel sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi

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

fecit et rationale opere polymito iuxta opus superumeralis ex auro hyacintho purpura coccoque bis tincto et bysso retorta

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

quadrangulum duplex mensurae palmi

10 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.

et posuit in eo gemmarum ordines quattuor in primo versu erat sardius topazius zmaragdus

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

in secundo carbunculus sapphyrus iaspis

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

in tertio ligyrius achates amethistus

13 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.

in quarto chrysolitus onychinus berillus circumdati et inclusi auro per ordines suos

14 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.

ipsique lapides duodecim sculpti erant nominibus duodecim tribuum Israhel singuli per nomina singulorum

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

fecerunt in rationali et catenulas sibi invicem coherentes de auro purissimo

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

et duos uncinos totidemque anulos aureos porro anulos posuerunt in utroque latere rationalis

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

e quibus penderent duae catenae aureae quas inseruerunt uncinis qui in superumeralis angulis eminebant

18 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.

haec et ante et retro ita conveniebant sibi ut superumerale et rationale mutuo necterentur

19 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.

stricta ad balteum et anulis fortius copulata quos iungebat vitta hyacinthina ne laxe fluerent et a se invicem moverentur sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi

20 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.

fecerunt quoque tunicam superumeralis totam hyacinthinam

21 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.

et capitium in superiori parte contra medium oramque per gyrum capitii textilem

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

deorsum autem ad pedes mala punica ex hyacintho purpura vermiculo ac bysso retorta

23 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.

et tintinabula de auro mundissimo quae posuerunt inter mala granata in extrema parte tunicae per gyrum

24 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.

tintinabulum aureum et malum punicum quibus ornatus incedebat pontifex quando ministerio fungebatur sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi

25 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

fecerunt et tunicas byssinas opere textili Aaron et filiis eius

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

et mitras cum coronulis suis ex bysso

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

feminalia quoque linea byssina

28 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.

cingulum vero de bysso retorta hyacintho purpura ac vermiculo distinctum arte plumaria sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi

29 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.

fecerunt et lamminam sacrae venerationis de auro purissimo scripseruntque in ea opere gemmario Sanctum Domini

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

et strinxerunt eam cum mitra vitta hyacinthina sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi

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

perfectum est igitur omne opus tabernaculi et tecti testimonii feceruntque filii Israhel cuncta quae praeceperat Dominus Mosi

32 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.

et obtulerunt tabernaculum et tectum et universam supellectilem anulos tabulas vectes columnas ac bases

33 They brought to him/me the Sacred Tent and all the things that were used with it: the hooks, the frames, the crossbars, the posts and their bases,

opertorium de pellibus arietum rubricatis et aliud operimentum de ianthinis pellibus

34 the coverings for the Sacred Tent that were made of tanned/dyed rams’ skins and goatskins, the curtains,

velum arcam vectes propitiatorium

35 the sacred chest that contained the stone slabs [on which the commandments were written], the poles, the lid for the chest,

mensam cum vasis et propositionis panibus

36 the table with all the things that were used with it, the sacred bread [that was offered] to God,

candelabrum lucernas et utensilia eorum cum oleo

37 the lampstand made of pure gold and all its lamps and all the things that were to be used to take care of it, the oil for the lamps,

altare aureum et unguentum thymiama ex aromatibus

38 the golden altar [for burning incense], the oil for anointing, the sweet-smelling incense, the curtain for the entrance to the Sacred Tent,

et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi

39 the bronze altar [for burning sacrifices] and its bronze grating, the poles [for carrying] it, and all the other things that were used with it, the washbasin and its base,

altare aeneum retiaculum vectes et vasa eius omnia labrum cum basi sua tentoria atrii et columnas cum basibus suis

40 the curtains [that surrounded] the courtyard, the posts and bases that supported them, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard and its ropes, the tent pegs, and all the other things that would be used in the Sacred Tent,

tentorium in introitu atrii funiculosque illius et paxillos nihil ex vasis defuit quae in ministerium tabernaculi et in tectum foederis iussa sunt fieri

41 the beautiful sacred clothes for Aaron to wear when he did his work in the Holy Place, and the special clothes for his sons to wear as they did their work as priests.

vestes quoque quibus sacerdotes utuntur in sanctuario Aaron scilicet et filii eius

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

obtulerunt filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Dominus

43 Then Moses/I saw all the work that they had done. Truly, they had done everything exactly as Yahweh had commanded [that it should be done]. Then Moses/I [asked God to] bless them.

quae postquam Moses cuncta vidit expleta benedixit eis
