Exodus 25

1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 loquere filiis Israhel ut tollant mihi primitias ab omni homine qui offert ultroneus accipietis eas

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they take a raised-offering for Me; you take My raised-offering from every man whose heart impels him.

3 haec sunt autem quae accipere debetis aurum et argentum et aes

And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze,

4 hyacinthum et purpuram coccumque bis tinctum et byssum pilos caprarum

and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],

5 et pelles arietum rubricatas pelles ianthinas et ligna setthim

and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,

6 oleum ad luminaria concinnanda aromata in unguentum et thymiama boni odoris

oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the spices,

7 lapides onychinos et gemmas ad ornandum ephod ac rationale

shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

8 facientque mihi sanctuarium et habitabo in medio eorum

And they have made a sanctuary for Me, and I have dwelt in their midst;

9 iuxta omnem similitudinem tabernaculi quod ostendam tibi et omnium vasorum in cultum eius sicque facietis illud

according to all that which I am showing you, the pattern of the Dwelling Place, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so you make [it].

10 arcam de lignis setthim conpingite cuius longitudo habeat duos semis cubitos latitudo cubitum et dimidium altitudo cubitum similiter ac semissem

And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

11 et deaurabis eam auro mundissimo intus et foris faciesque supra coronam auream per circuitum

and you have overlaid it [with] pure gold, you overlay it inside and outside, and you have made a ring of gold on it all around.

12 et quattuor circulos aureos quos pones per quattuor arcae angulos duo circuli sint in latere uno et duo in altero

And you have cast four rings of gold for it, and have put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

13 facies quoque vectes de lignis setthim et operies eos auro

and you have made poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] gold,

14 inducesque per circulos qui sunt in arcae lateribus ut portetur in eis

and have brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark by them;

15 qui semper erunt in circulis nec umquam extrahentur ab eis

the poles are in the rings of the Ark, they are not turned aside from it;

16 ponesque in arcam testificationem quam dabo tibi

and you have put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark.

17 facies et propitiatorium de auro mundissimo duos cubitos et dimidium tenebit longitudo eius cubitum ac semissem latitudo

And you have made a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

18 duos quoque cherubin aureos et productiles facies ex utraque parte oraculi

and you have made two cherubim of gold; you make them beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering;

19 cherub unus sit in latere uno et alter in altero

and make one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; at the propitiatory covering you make the cherubim on its two ends.

20 utrumque latus propitiatorii tegant expandentes alas et operientes oraculum respiciantque se mutuo versis vultibus in propitiatorium quo operienda est arca

And the cherubim have been spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another—the faces of the cherubim are toward the propitiatory covering.

21 in qua pones testimonium quod dabo tibi

And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above, and you put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark;

22 inde praecipiam et loquar ad te supra propitiatorio scilicet ac medio duorum cherubin qui erunt super arcam testimonii cuncta quae mandabo per te filiis Israhel

and I have met with you there, and have spoken with you from off the propitiatory covering (from between the two cherubim, which [are] on the Ark of the Testimony) all that which I command you concerning the sons of Israel.

23 facies et mensam de lignis setthim habentem duos cubitos longitudinis et in latitudine cubitum et in altitudine cubitum ac semissem

And you have made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

24 et inaurabis eam auro purissimo faciesque illi labium aureum per circuitum

and have overlaid it [with] pure gold, and have made a crown of gold for it all around,

25 et ipsi labio coronam interrasilem altam quattuor digitis et super illam alteram coronam aureolam

and have made a border of a handbreadth for it all around, and have made a crown of gold for its border all around.

26 quattuor quoque circulos aureos praeparabis et pones eos in quattuor angulis eiusdem mensae per singulos pedes

And you have made four rings of gold for it, and have put the rings on the four corners, which [are] at its four feet;

27 subter coronam erunt circuli aurei ut mittantur vectes per eos et possit mensa portari

close by the border are the rings for places for poles to carry the table;

28 ipsosque vectes facies de lignis setthim et circumdabis auro ad subvehendam mensam

and you have made the poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them with gold, and the table has been carried with them;

29 parabis et acetabula ac fialas turibula et cyatos in quibus offerenda sunt libamina ex auro purissimo

30 et pones super mensam panes propositionis in conspectu meo semper

and you have put Bread of the Presentation on the table before Me continually.

31 facies et candelabrum ductile de auro mundissimo hastile eius et calamos scyphos et spherulas ac lilia ex ipso procedentia

And you have made a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand is made of beaten work; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers are of the same;

32 sex calami egredientur de lateribus tres ex uno latere et tres ex altero

and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of the first side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the second side;

33 tres scyphi quasi in nucis modum per calamos singulos spherulaque simul et lilium et tres similiter scyphi instar nucis in calamo altero spherulaque et lilium hoc erit opus sex calamorum qui producendi sunt de hastili

three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower—so for the six branches which are coming out from the lampstand.

34 in ipso autem candelabro erunt quattuor scyphi in nucis modum spherulaeque per singulos et lilia

And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knobs and its flowers;

35 spherula sub duobus calamis per tria loca qui simul sex fiunt procedentes de hastili uno

and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand;

36 et spherae igitur et calami ex ipso erunt universa ductilia de auro purissimo

their knobs and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;

37 facies et lucernas septem et pones eas super candelabrum ut luceant ex adverso

and you have made its seven lamps, and [one] has caused its lamps to go up, and it has given light over [and] beyond its front.

38 emunctoria quoque et ubi quae emuncta sunt extinguantur fient de auro purissimo

39 omne pondus candelabri cum universis vasis suis habebit talentum auri mundissimi

40 inspice et fac secundum exemplar quod tibi in monte monstratum est

Now see and make [them] by their pattern which you are shown on the mountain.”
