اَلْخُرُوجُ 36

١ 1 «فَيَعْمَلُ بَصَلْئِيلُ وَأُهُولِيآبُ وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ حَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ، قَدْ جَعَلَ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ حِكْمَةً وَفَهْمًا لِيَعْرِفَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ صَنْعَةً مَّا مِنْ عَمَلِ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ، بِحَسَبِ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ».

“Bezalel and Oholiab, and all the other men to whom Yahweh has given ability and enabled them to understand how to do all the work to make the Sacred Tent, must make everything just as Yahweh has commanded.”

٢ 2 فَدَعَا مُوسَى بَصَلْئِيلَ وَأُهُولِيآبَ وَكُلَّ رَجُلٍ حَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ، قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ حِكْمَةً فِي قَلْبِهِ، كُلَّ مَنْ أَنْهَضَهُ قَلْبُهُ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَى ٱلْعَمَلِ لِيَصْنَعَهُ.

So Moses/I summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other skilled men to whom Yahweh had given special ability and who wanted to do some of the work.

٣ 3 فَأَخَذُوا مِنْ قُدَّامِ مُوسَى كُلَّ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ ٱلَّتِي جَاءَ بِهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِصَنْعَةِ عَمَلِ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ لِكَيْ يَصْنَعُوهُ. وَهُمْ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا بِشَيْءٍ تَبَرُّعًا كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ.

Moses/I gave them all the things that the people had brought as offerings to Yahweh for making the Sacred Tent. But the people continued bringing more things every morning.

٤ 4 فَجَاءَ كُلُّ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ ٱلصَّانِعِينَ كُلَّ عَمَلِ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي هُمْ يَصْنَعُونَهُ.

As a result, the skilled men who were doing various things to make the Sacred Tent came to Moses/me

٥ 5 وَكَلَّمُوا مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «يَجِيءُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بِكَثِيرٍ فَوْقَ حَاجَةِ ٱلْعَمَلِ لِلصَّنْعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِصُنْعِهَا».

and said, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”

٦ 6 فَأَمَرَ مُوسَى أَنْ يُنْفِذُوا صَوْتًا فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ قَائِلِينَ: «لَا يَصْنَعْ رَجُلٌ أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ عَمَلًا أَيْضًا لِتَقْدِمَةِ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ». فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَنِ ٱلْجَلَبِ.

So Moses/I gave the skilled men this message that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the Sacred Tent!” When the people [heard that], they did not bring anything more.

٧ 7 وَٱلْمَوَادُّ كَانَتْ كِفَايَتَهُمْ لِكُلِّ ٱلْعَمَلِ لِيَصْنَعُوهُ وَأَكْثَرَ.

What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. [In fact], it was more than was needed!

٨ 8 فَصَنَعُوا كُلُّ حَكِيمِ قَلْبٍ مِنْ صَانِعِي ٱلْعَمَلِ ٱلْمَسْكَنَ عَشَرَ شُقَقٍ مِنْ بُوصٍ مَبْرُومٍ وَأَسْمَانْجُونِيٍّ وَأُرْجُوانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ بِكَرُوبِيمَ، صَنْعَةَ حَائِكٍ حَاذِقٍ صَنَعَهَا.

All the most skilled men among the workmen made the Sacred Tent. They made it from ten strips of fine linen, and carefully embroidered it using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make figures that resembled the winged creatures.

٩ 9 طُولُ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَرْضُ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ. قِيَاسًا وَاحِدًا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّقَقِ.

Each strip was (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.

١٠ 10 وَوَصَلَ خَمْسًا مِنَ ٱلشُّقَقِ بَعْضَهَا بِبَعْضٍ. وَوَصَلَ خَمْسًا مِنَ ٱلشُّقَقِ بَعْضَهَا بِبَعْضٍ.

They sewed five strips together to make one set, and they sewed the other five strips together to make the other set.

١١ 11 وَصَنَعَ عُرًى مِنْ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٍّ عَلَى حَاشِيَةِ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ فِي ٱلطَّرَفِ مِنَ ٱلْمُوَصَّلِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ. كَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ فِي حَاشِيَةِ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلطَّرَفِيَّةِ مِنَ ٱلْمُوَصَّلِ ٱلثَّانِي.

For each set, they made loops of blue [cloth] and fastened them on the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.

١٢ 12 خَمْسِينَ عُرْوَةً صَنَعَ فِي ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ، وَخَمْسِينَ عُرْوَةً صَنَعَ فِي طَرَفِ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمُوَصَّلِ ٱلثَّانِي. مُقَابِلَةً كَانَتِ ٱلْعُرَى بَعْضُهَا لِبَعْضٍ.

They put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.

١٣ 13 وَصَنَعَ خَمْسِينَ شِظَاظًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَوَصَلَ ٱلشُّقَّتَيْنِ بَعْضَهُمَا بِبَعْضٍ بِٱلْأَشِظَّةِ، فَصَارَ ٱلْمَسْكَنُ وَاحِدًا.

They made 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. In that way, the inside of the Sacred Tent was [as though it was] one piece.

١٤ 14 وَصَنَعَ شُقَقًا مِنْ شَعْرِ مِعْزًى خَيْمَةً فَوْقَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ. إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ شُقَّةً صَنَعَهَا.

They made a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.

١٥ 15 طُولُ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَرْضُ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ. قِيَاسًا وَاحِدًا لِلْإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ شُقَّةً.

Each piece of cloth was (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.

١٦ 16 وَوَصَلَ خَمْسًا مِنَ ٱلشُّقَقِ وَحْدَهَا، وَسِتًّا مِنَ ٱلشُّقَقِ وَحْدَهَا.

They sewed five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and they sewed the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set.

١٧ 17 وَصَنَعَ خَمْسِينَ عُرْوَةً عَلَى حَاشِيَةِ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلطَّرَفِيَّةِ مِنَ ٱلْمُوَصَّلِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ. وَصَنَعَ خَمْسِينَ عُرْوَةً عَلَى حَاشِيَةِ ٱلشُّقَّةِ ٱلْمُوَصَّلَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ.

They made 100 loops [of blue cloth]. They fastened 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and they fastened 50 to the outer edge of the other set.

١٨ 18 وَصَنَعَ خَمْسِينَ شِظَاظًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ لِيَصِلَ ٱلْخَيْمَةَ لِتَصِيرَ وَاحِدَةً.

They made 50 bronze clasps/fasteners and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.

١٩ 19 وَصَنَعَ غِطَاءً لِلْخَيْمَةِ مِنْ جُلُودِ كِبَاشٍ مُحَمَّرَةً، وَغِطَاءً مِنْ جُلُودِ تُخَسٍ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

They made two more covers for the Sacred Tent. They made one from rams’ skins that had been (tanned/dyed red), and they made the top cover from goatskin leather.

٢٠ 20 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ لِلْمَسْكَنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ قَائِمَةً.

They made frames from acacia wood and set them up [to support the covers for the Sacred Tent].

٢١ 21 طُولُ ٱللَّوْحِ عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَعَرْضُ ٱللَّوْحِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ.

Each frame was (15 feet/4.5 meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.

٢٢ 22 وَلِلَّوْحِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ رِجْلَانِ، مَقْرُونَةٌ إِحْدَاهُمَا بِٱلْأُخْرَى. هَكَذَا صَنَعَ لِجَمِيعِ أَلْوَاحِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ.

They made two projections at the bottom of each frame. These were for fastening the frames to the bases underneath them. Each frame had these projections.

٢٣ 23 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ لِلْمَسْكَنِ عِشْرِينَ لَوْحًا إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ نَحْوَ ٱلتَّيْمَنِ.

The skilled workmen made twenty frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.

٢٤ 24 وَصَنَعَ أَرْبَعِينَ قَاعِدَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلْعِشْرِينَ لَوْحًا، تَحْتَ ٱللَّوْحِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ قَاعِدَتَانِ لِرِجْلَيْهِ، وَتَحْتَ ٱللَّوْحِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ قَاعِدَتَانِ لِرِجْلَيْهِ.

They made 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases went under each frame. The projections on each frame fit into these bases.

٢٥ 25 وَلِجَانِبِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلثَّانِي إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ صَنَعَ عِشْرِينَ لَوْحًا،

[Similarly], they made 20 frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.

٢٦ 26 وَأَرْبَعِينَ قَاعِدَةً لَهَا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ. تَحْتَ ٱللَّوْحِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ قَاعِدَتَانِ، وَتَحْتَ ٱللَّوْحِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ قَاعِدَتَانِ.

They made 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases for under each frame.

٢٧ 27 وَلِمُؤَخَّرِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ نَحْوَ ٱلْغَرْبِ صَنَعَ سِتَّةَ أَلْوَاحٍ.

For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, they made six frames.

٢٨ 28 وَصَنَعَ لَوْحَيْنِ لِزَاوِيَتَيِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ فِي ٱلْمُؤَخَّرِ.

They also made two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].

٢٩ 29 وَكَانَا مُزْدَوِجَيْنِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، وَعَلَى سَوَاءٍ كَانَا مُزْدَوِجَيْنِ إِلَى رَأْسِهِ إِلَى ٱلْحَلْقَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ. هَكَذَا صَنَعَ لِكِلْتَيْهِمَا، لِكِلْتَا ٱلزَّاوِيَتَيْنِ.

The two corner frames were 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 they fastened a gold ring for holding the crossbar.

٣٠ 30 فَكَانَتْ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَلْوَاحٍ وَقَوَاعِدُهَا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ قَاعِدَةً. قَاعِدَتَيْنِ قَاعِدَتَيْنِ تَحْتَ ٱللَّوْحِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ.

In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there were eight frames, and there were 16 bases, two bases under each frame.

٣١ 31 وَصَنَعَ عَوَارِضَ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ، خَمْسًا لِأَلْوَاحِ جَانِبِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ،

The workmen made 15 crossbars from acacia wood.

٣٢ 32 وَخَمْسَ عَوَارِضَ لِأَلْوَاحِ جَانِبِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلثَّانِي، وَخَمْسَ عَوَارِضَ لِأَلْوَاحِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ فِي ٱلْمُؤَخَّرِ نَحْوَ ٱلْغَرْبِ.

Five of them were for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.

٣٣ 33 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْعَارِضَةَ ٱلْوُسْطَى لِتَنْفُذَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَلْوَاحِ مِنَ ٱلطَّرَفِ إِلَى ٱلطَّرَفِ.

The crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent were fastened to the middle of the frames. The two long crossbars extended from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side extended from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other side.

٣٤ 34 وَغَشَّى ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ بِذَهَبٍ. وَصَنَعَ حَلَقَاتِهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بُيُوتًا لِلْعَوَارِضِ، وَغَشَّى ٱلْعَوَارِضَ بِذَهَبٍ.

The workmen covered the frames with gold and fastened gold rings to the poles. The crossbars [were put] into the rings. The crossbars were [also] covered with gold.

٣٥ 35 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْحِجَابَ مِنْ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٍّ وَأُرْجُوَانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ وَبُوصٍ مَبْرُومٍ. صَنْعَةَ حَائِكٍ حَاذِقٍ صَنَعَهُ بِكَرُوبِيمَ.

They made a curtain from fine white linen. Skilled craftsmen embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making designs [that resembled] the winged creatures.

٣٦ 36 وَصَنَعَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ مِنْ سَنْطٍ، وَغَشَّاهَا بِذَهَبٍ. رُزَزُهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. وَسَبَكَ لَهَا أَرْبَعَ قَوَاعِدَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ.

They suspended/hung the curtain from four posts that were made from acacia [wood] and covered with gold. They set [each] post in a silver base.

٣٧ 37 وَصَنَعَ سَجْفًا لِمَدْخَلِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ مِنْ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٍّ وَأُرْجُوَانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ وَبُوصٍ مَبْرُومٍ صَنْعَةَ ٱلطَّرَّازِ.

They made a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They made it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.

٣٨ 38 وَأَعْمِدَتَهُ خَمْسَةً وَرُزَزَهَا. وَغَشَّى رُؤُوسَهَا وَقُضْبَانَهَا بِذَهَبٍ، وَقَوَاعِدَهَا خَمْسًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

[To support this curtain], they also made five posts from acacia wood and fastened gold clasps/fasteners to them. They completely covered the posts with gold. They also made a bronze base for each of those posts.
