اَلْخُرُوجُ 37

١ 1 وَصَنَعَ بَصَلْئِيلُ ٱلتَّابُوتَ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ، وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ، وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ.

Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.

٢ 2 وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ خَارِجٍ. وَصَنَعَ لَهُ إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهِ.

He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.

٣ 3 وَسَبَكَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ عَلَى أَرْبَعِ قَوَائِمِهِ. عَلَى جَانِبِهِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ حَلْقَتَانِ، وَعَلَى جَانِبِهِ ٱلثَّانِي حَلْقَتَانِ.

He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.

٤ 4 وَصَنَعَ عَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ.

He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.

٥ 5 وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلْعَصَوَيْنِ فِي ٱلْحَلَقَاتِ عَلَى جَانِبَيِ ٱلتَّابُوتِ، لِحَمْلِ ٱلتَّابُوتِ.

He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].

٦ 6 وَصَنَعَ غِطَاءً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ، وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ.

He made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.

٧ 7 وَصَنَعَ كَرُوبَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ صَنْعَةَ ٱلْخِرَاطَةِ، صَنَعَهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ ٱلْغِطَاءِ.

He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.

٨ 8 كَرُوبًا وَاحِدًا عَلَى ٱلطَّرَفِ مِنْ هُنَا، وَكَرُوبًا وَاحِدًا عَلَى ٱلطَّرَفِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. مِنَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ صَنَعَ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيْهِ.

One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].

٩ 9 وَكَانَ ٱلْكَرُوبَانِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا إِلَى فَوْقُ، مُظَلِّلَيْنِ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمَا فَوْقَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ، وَوَجْهَاهُمَا كُلُّ ٱلْوَاحِدِ إِلَى ٱلْآخَرِ. نَحْوَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ كَانَ وَجْهَا ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ.

[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.

١٠ 10 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْمَائِدَةَ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ، طُولُهَا ذِرَاعَانِ، وَعَرْضُهَا ذِرَاعٌ، وَٱرْتِفَاعُهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ.

Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.

١١ 11 وَغَشَّاهَا بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، وَصَنَعَ لَهَا إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهَا.

He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.

١٢ 12 وَصَنَعَ لَهَا حَاجِبًا عَلَى شِبْرٍ حَوَالَيْهَا، وَصَنَعَ لِحَاجِبِهَا إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهَا.

He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.

١٣ 13 وَسَبَكَ لَهَا أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْحَلَقَاتِ عَلَى ٱلزَّوَايَا ٱلْأَرْبَعِ ٱلَّتِي لِقَوَائِمِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعِ.

He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].

١٤ 14 عِنْدَ ٱلْحَاجِبِ كَانَتِ ٱلْحَلَقَاتُ بُيُوتًا لِلْعَصَوَيْنِ لِحَمْلِ ٱلْمَائِدَةِ.

The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.

١٥ 15 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ، وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ لِحَمْلِ ٱلْمَائِدَةِ.

He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.

١٦ 16 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْأَوَانِيَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى ٱلْمَائِدَةِ، صِحَافَهَا وَصُحُونَهَا وَجَامَاتِهَا وَكَأْسَاتِهَا ٱلَّتِي يُسْكَبُ بِهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].

١٧ 17 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْمَنَارَةَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ. صَنْعَةَ ٱلْخِرَاطَةِ صَنَعَ ٱلْمَنَارَةَ، قَاعِدَتَهَا وَسَاقَهَا. كَانَتْ كَأْسَاتُهَا وَعُجَرُهَا وَأَزْهَارُهَا مِنْهَا.

[He] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.

١٨ 18 وَسِتُّ شُعَبٍ خَارِجَةٌ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهَا. مِنْ جَانِبِهَا ٱلْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثُ شُعَبِ مَنَارَةٍ، وَمِنْ جَانِبِهَا ٱلثَّانِي ثَلَاثُ شُعَبِ مَنَارَةٍ.

There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].

١٩ 19 فِي ٱلشُّعْبَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ ثَلَاثُ كَأْسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِعُجْرَةٍ وَزَهْرٍ، وَفِي ٱلشُّعْبَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ ثَلَاثُ كَأْسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِعُجْرَةٍ وَزَهْرٍ، وَهَكَذَا إِلَى ٱلسِّتِّ ٱلشُّعَبِ ٱلْخَارِجَةِ مِنَ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ.

Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.

٢٠ 20 وَفِي ٱلْمَنَارَةِ أَرْبَعُ كَأْسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِعُجَرِهَا وَأَزْهَارِهَا.

On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.

٢١ 21 وَتَحْتَ ٱلشُّعْبَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا عُجْرَةٌ، وَتَحْتَ ٱلشُّعْبَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا عُجْرَةٌ، وَتَحْتَ ٱلشُّعْبَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا عُجْرَةٌ. إِلَى ٱلسِّتِّ ٱلشُّعَبِ ٱلْخَارِجَةِ مِنْهَا.

On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.

٢٢ 22 كَانَتْ عُجَرُهَا وَشُعَبُهَا مِنْهَا، جَمِيعُهَا خِرَاطَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.

٢٣ 23 وَصَنَعَ سُرُجَهَا سَبْعَةً، وَمَلَاقِطَهَا وَمَنَافِضَهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].

٢٤ 24 مِنْ وَزْنَةِ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ صَنَعَهَا وَجَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهَا.

He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.

٢٥ 25 وَصَنَعَ مَذْبَحَ ٱلْبَخُورِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ، وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ، مُرَبَّعًا. وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ. مِنْهُ كَانَتْ قُرُونُهُ.

From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.

٢٦ 26 وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ: سَطْحَهُ وَحِيطَانَهُ حَوَالَيْهِ وَقُرُونَهُ. وَصَنَعَ لَهُ إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهِ.

He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].

٢٧ 27 وَصَنَعَ لَهُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ تَحْتَ إِكْلِيلِهِ عَلَى جَانِبَيْهِ، عَلَى ٱلْجَانِبَيْنِ بَيْتَيْنِ لِعَصَوَيْنِ لِحَمْلِهِ بِهِمَا.

He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.

٢٨ 28 وَصَنَعَ ٱلْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِذَهَبٍ.

He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.

٢٩ 29 وَصَنَعَ دُهْنَ ٱلْمَسْحَةِ مُقَدَّسًا، وَٱلْبَخُورَ ٱلْعَطِرَ نَقِيًّا صَنْعَةَ ٱلْعَطَّارِ.

He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
