1 καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν ποιήσεις δέκα αὐλαίας ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης καὶ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου χερουβιμ ἐργασίᾳ ὑφάντου ποιήσεις αὐτάς 2 μῆκος τῆς αὐλαίας τῆς μιᾶς ὀκτὼ καὶ εἴκοσι πήχεων καὶ εὖρος τεσσάρων πήχεων ἡ αὐλαία ἡ μία ἔσται μέτρον τὸ αὐτὸ ἔσται πάσαις ταῖς αὐλαίαις 3 πέντε δὲ αὐλαῖαι ἔσονται ἐξ ἀλλήλων ἐχόμεναι ἡ ἑτέρα ἐκ τῆς ἑτέρας καὶ πέντε αὐλαῖαι ἔσονται συνεχόμεναι ἑτέρα τῇ ἑτέρᾳ 4 καὶ ποιήσεις αὐταῖς ἀγκύλας ὑακινθίνας ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς αὐλαίας τῆς μιᾶς ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς μέρους εἰς τὴν συμβολὴν καὶ οὕτως ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς αὐλαίας τῆς ἐξωτέρας πρὸς τῇ συμβολῇ τῇ δευτέρᾳ 5 πεντήκοντα ἀγκύλας ποιήσεις τῇ αὐλαίᾳ τῇ μιᾷ καὶ πεντήκοντα ἀγκύλας ποιήσεις ἐκ τοῦ μέρους τῆς αὐλαίας κατὰ τὴν συμβολὴν τῆς δευτέρας ἀντιπρόσωποι ἀντιπίπτουσαι ἀλλήλαις εἰς ἑκάστην 6 καὶ ποιήσεις κρίκους πεντήκοντα χρυσοῦς καὶ συνάψεις τὰς αὐλαίας ἑτέραν τῇ ἑτέρᾳ τοῖς κρίκοις καὶ ἔσται ἡ σκηνὴ μία | 1 And this is how the tabernacle is to be fashioned. Make ten curtains of twisted linen thread, worked in threads of blue and purple and scarlet twice-dyed, with all the embroiderer’s art.[1] 2 All the curtains are to be of the same size, twenty-eight cubits in length and four in width. 3 Five of these must be joined to each other, and then the remaining five in the same way; 4 the sides, the extreme edges of the curtains must be fitted with loops of blue cord, to fasten one to the next, 5 fifty loops at the edge of either set of curtains, so let in that loop meets loop and can be fastened to it. 6 Then make fifty gold clasps, and join the two widths of curtain together, to make a single tent of them.[2] | 1 Tabernaculum vero ita facies: decem cortinas de bysso retorta, et hyacintho, ac purpura, coccoque bis tincto, variatas opere plumario facies. 2 Longitudo cortinæ unius habebit viginti octo cubitos: latitudo, quatuor cubitorum erit. Unius mensuræ fient universa tentoria. 3 Quinque cortinæ sibi jungentur mutuo, et aliæ quinque nexu simili cohærebunt. 4 Ansulas hyacinthinas in lateribus ac summitatibus facies cortinarum, ut possint invicem copulari. 5 Quinquagenas ansulas cortina habebit in utraque parte, ita insertas ut ansa contra ansam veniat, et altera alteri possit aptari. 6 Facies et quinquaginta circulos aureos quibus cortinarum vela jungenda sunt, ut unum tabernaculum fiat. |
7 καὶ ποιήσεις δέρρεις τριχίνας σκέπην ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς ἕνδεκα δέρρεις ποιήσεις αὐτάς 8 τὸ μῆκος τῆς δέρρεως τῆς μιᾶς ἔσται τριάκοντα πήχεων καὶ τεσσάρων πήχεων τὸ εὖρος τῆς δέρρεως τῆς μιᾶς μέτρον τὸ αὐτὸ ἔσται ταῖς ἕνδεκα δέρρεσι 9 καὶ συνάψεις τὰς πέντε δέρρεις ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ τὰς ἓξ δέρρεις ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό καὶ ἐπιδιπλώσεις τὴν δέρριν τὴν ἕκτην κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς σκηνῆς 10 καὶ ποιήσεις ἀγκύλας πεντήκοντα ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς δέρρεως τῆς μιᾶς τῆς ἀνὰ μέσον κατὰ συμβολὴν καὶ πεντήκοντα ἀγκύλας ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς δέρρεως τῆς συναπτούσης τῆς δευτέρας 11 καὶ ποιήσεις κρίκους χαλκοῦς πεντήκοντα καὶ συνάψεις τοὺς κρίκους ἐκ τῶν ἀγκυλῶν καὶ συνάψεις τὰς δέρρεις καὶ ἔσται ἕν 12 καὶ ὑποθήσεις τὸ πλεονάζον ἐν ταῖς δέρρεσιν τῆς σκηνῆς τὸ ἥμισυ τῆς δέρρεως τὸ ὑπολελειμμένον ὑποκαλύψεις τὸ πλεονάζον τῶν δέρρεων τῆς σκηνῆς ὑποκαλύψεις ὀπίσω τῆς σκηνῆς 13 πῆχυν ἐκ τούτου καὶ πῆχυν ἐκ τούτου ἐκ τοῦ ὑπερέχοντος τῶν δέρρεων ἐκ τοῦ μήκους τῶν δέρρεων τῆς σκηνῆς ἔσται συγκαλύπτον ἐπὶ τὰ πλάγια τῆς σκηνῆς ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἵνα καλύπτῃ 14 καὶ ποιήσεις κατακάλυμμα τῇ σκηνῇ δέρματα κριῶν ἠρυθροδανωμένα καὶ ἐπικαλύμματα δέρματα ὑακίνθινα ἐπάνωθεν | 7 Next, make eleven coverings of goats’ hair, to protect the tapestry over the tabernacle. 8 The measurements of all these coverings are to be the same; each will be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. 9 Join together first five of the coverings, then the other six; the sixth of these is to hang double over the front of the tapestry. 10 Make fifty loops at the edge of the first set of coverings, then fifty at the edge of the other, to join them together, 11 and fifty brazen clasps, to hold these loops together, so that the whole may form a single protecting roof. 12 Since there is one more of these coverings than is needed for the protection of the tapestry, fold it double and use it to protect the back of the tabernacle. 13 The coverings are a cubit longer on the north and south than the tapestry, and this additional cubit will hang down, to protect the tabernacle itself on either side. 14 Then make another canopy over the roof, of rams’ fleeces dyed red, and yet another, of skins dyed violet.[3] | 7 Facies et saga cilicina undecim, ad operiendum tectum tabernaculi. 8 Longitudo sagi unius habebit triginta cubitos, et latitudo, quatuor: æqua erit mensura sagorum omnium. 9 E quibus quinque junges seorsum, et sex sibi mutuo copulabis, ita ut sextum sagum in fronte tecti duplices. 10 Facies et quinquaginta ansas in ora sagi unius, ut conjungi cum altero queat, et quinquaginta ansas in ora sagi alterius, ut cum altero copuletur. 11 Facies et quinquaginta fibulas æneas quibus jungantur ansæ, ut unum ex omnibus operimentum fiat. 12 Quod autem superfuerit in sagis quæ parantur tecto, id est unum sagum quod amplius est, ex medietate ejus operies posteriora tabernaculi. 13 Et cubitus ex una parte pendebit, et alter ex altera qui plus est in sagorum longitudine, utrumque latus tabernaculi protegens. 14 Facies et operimentum aliud tecto de pellibus arietum rubricatis: et super hoc rursum aliud operimentum de janthinis pellibus. |
15 καὶ ποιήσεις στύλους τῇ σκηνῇ ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων 16 δέκα πήχεων ποιήσεις τὸν στῦλον τὸν ἕνα καὶ πήχεος ἑνὸς καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ πλάτος τοῦ στύλου τοῦ ἑνός 17 δύο ἀγκωνίσκους τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ ἀντιπίπτοντας ἕτερον τῷ ἑτέρῳ οὕτως ποιήσεις πᾶσι τοῖς στύλοις τῆς σκηνῆς 18 καὶ ποιήσεις στύλους τῇ σκηνῇ εἴκοσι στύλους ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ πρὸς βορρᾶν 19 καὶ τεσσαράκοντα βάσεις ἀργυρᾶς ποιήσεις τοῖς εἴκοσι στύλοις δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ καὶ δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ 20 καὶ τὸ κλίτος τὸ δεύτερον τὸ πρὸς νότον εἴκοσι στύλους 21 καὶ τεσσαράκοντα βάσεις αὐτῶν ἀργυρᾶς δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ καὶ δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ 22 καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω τῆς σκηνῆς κατὰ τὸ μέρος τὸ πρὸς θάλασσαν ποιήσεις ἓξ στύλους 23 καὶ δύο στύλους ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τῶν γωνιῶν τῆς σκηνῆς ἐκ τῶν ὀπισθίων 24 καὶ ἔσται ἐξ ἴσου κάτωθεν κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ ἔσονται ἴσοι ἐκ τῶν κεφαλίδων εἰς σύμβλησιν μίαν οὕτως ποιήσεις ἀμφοτέραις ταῖς δυσὶν γωνίαις ἔστωσαν 25 καὶ ἔσονται ὀκτὼ στῦλοι καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν ἀργυραῖ δέκα ἕξ δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ καὶ δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνί | 15 Then make upright frames of acacia wood to support the tabernacle. 16 Each must be ten cubits high, and a cubit and a half wide; 17 and at the sides of it, two tenon-pieces must jut out, so that each frame can be mortised to the next; all the frames are to be made in this manner.[4] 18 Twenty of these will be on the south, facing the midday sun, 19 with forty silver sockets, two at the foot of each frame, close to the corners; 20 and twenty more on the opposite side, that looks northwards; 21 these again will have forty silver sockets, two at the foot of each frame. 22 And for the western end of the tabernacle there will be six frames, 23 and two in addition, which must be set up in the corners at the extreme end of the tabernacle.[5] 24 All these will be joined together, from bottom to top, with a single kind of fastening to hold them all; the two frames which are to be set up in the corners will be joined in the same way as the others.[6] 25 Thus there will be eight frames in all, with sixteen silver sockets, two to each frame. | 15 Facies et tabulas stantes tabernaculi de lignis setim, 16 quæ singulæ denos cubitos in longitudine habeant, et in latitudine singulos ac semissem. 17 In lateribus tabulæ, duæ incastraturæ fient, quibus tabula alteri tabulæ connectatur: atque in hunc modum cunctæ tabulæ parabuntur. 18 Quarum viginti erunt in latere meridiano quod vergit ad austrum. 19 Quibus quadraginta bases argenteas fundes, ut binæ bases singulis tabulis per duos angulos subjiciantur. 20 In latere quoque secundo tabernaculi quod vergit ad aquilonem, viginti tabulæ erunt, 21 quadraginta habentes bases argenteas, binæ bases singulis tabulis supponentur. 22 Ad occidentalem vero plagam tabernaculi facies sex tabulas, 23 et rursum alias duas quæ in angulis erigantur post tergum tabernaculi. 24 Eruntque conjunctæ a deorsum usque sursum, et una omnes compago retinebit. Duabus quoque tabulis quæ in angulis ponendæ sunt, similis junctura servabitur. 25 Et erunt simul tabulæ octo, bases earum argenteæ sedecim, duabus basibus per unam tabulam supputatis. |
26 καὶ ποιήσεις μοχλοὺς ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων πέντε τῷ ἑνὶ στύλῳ ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς μέρους τῆς σκηνῆς 27 καὶ πέντε μοχλοὺς τῷ στύλῳ τῷ κλίτει τῆς σκηνῆς τῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ πέντε μοχλοὺς τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ὀπισθίῳ τῷ κλίτει τῆς σκηνῆς τῷ πρὸς θάλασσαν 28 καὶ ὁ μοχλὸς ὁ μέσος ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν στύλων διικνείσθω ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑνὸς κλίτους εἰς τὸ ἕτερον κλίτος 29 καὶ τοὺς στύλους καταχρυσώσεις χρυσίῳ καὶ τοὺς δακτυλίους ποιήσεις χρυσοῦς εἰς οὓς εἰσάξεις τοὺς μοχλούς καὶ καταχρυσώσεις τοὺς μοχλοὺς χρυσίῳ 30 καὶ ἀναστήσεις τὴν σκηνὴν κατὰ τὸ εἶδος τὸ δεδειγμένον σοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει | 26 Then make five poles of acacia wood, to hold the frames together on one side of the tabernacle, 27 and five more to hold it together on the other side, and the same number for the western end; 28 these will be passed right along the frames from end to end.[7] 29 Gild the frames themselves, and furnish them with gold rings, by which the poles can hold the frames together; these poles, too, must be plated with gold. 30 So must thou set up the tabernacle, in conformity with the pattern that has been shewn to thee on the mountain. | 26 Facies et vectes de lignis setim quinque ad continendas tabulas in uno latere tabernaculi, 27 et quinque alios in altero, et ejusdem numeri ad occidentalem plagam: 28 qui mittentur per medias tabulas a summo usque ad summum. 29 Ipsas quoque tabulas deaurabis, et fundes in eis annulos aureos per quos vectes tabulata contineant: quos operies laminis aureis. 30 Et eriges tabernaculum juxta exemplar quod tibi in monte monstratum est. |
31 καὶ ποιήσεις καταπέτασμα ἐξ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου καὶ βύσσου νενησμένης ἔργον ὑφαντὸν ποιήσεις αὐτὸ χερουβιμ 32 καὶ ἐπιθήσεις αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τεσσάρων στύλων ἀσήπτων κεχρυσωμένων χρυσίῳ καὶ αἱ κεφαλίδες αὐτῶν χρυσαῖ καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τέσσαρες ἀργυραῖ 33 καὶ θήσεις τὸ καταπέτασμα ἐπὶ τοὺς στύλους καὶ εἰσοίσεις ἐκεῖ ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ διοριεῖ τὸ καταπέτασμα ὑμῖν ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων 34 καὶ κατακαλύψεις τῷ καταπετάσματι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ τῶν ἁγίων 35 καὶ θήσεις τὴν τράπεζαν ἔξωθεν τοῦ καταπετάσματος καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν ἀπέναντι τῆς τραπέζης ἐπὶ μέρους τῆς σκηνῆς τὸ πρὸς νότον καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν θήσεις ἐπὶ μέρους τῆς σκηνῆς τὸ πρὸς βορρᾶν | 31 Make a veil, too, out of twisted linen thread, worked in threads of blue and purple and scarlet twice-dyed, with all the embroiderer’s art, 32 and let it hang down from four posts of acacia wood, gilded and with gilt capitals,[8] but set in silver sockets. 33 This veil will be held up by rings. The ark is to be set down behind it, and thus it will be a division between the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. 34 The throne, too, which rests above the ark and its records, will be in the inner sanctuary; 35 on the outer side of the veil, the table will stand on the north, and the lamp-stand on the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table. | 31 Facies et velum de hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere plumario et pulchra varietate contextum: 32 quod appendes ante quatuor columnas de lignis setim, quæ ipsæ quidem deauratæ erunt, et habebunt capita aurea, sed bases argenteas. 33 Inseretur autem velum per circulos, intra quod pones arcam testimonii, quo et sanctuarium, et sanctuarii sanctuaria dividentur. 34 Pones et propitiatorium super arcam testimonii in Sancto sanctorum, 35 mensamque extra velum, et contra mensam candelabrum in latere tabernaculi meridiano: mensa enim stabit in parte aquilonis. |
36 καὶ ποιήσεις ἐπίσπαστρον ἐξ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης ἔργον ποικιλτοῦ 37 καὶ ποιήσεις τῷ καταπετάσματι πέντε στύλους καὶ χρυσώσεις αὐτοὺς χρυσίῳ καὶ αἱ κεφαλίδες αὐτῶν χρυσαῖ καὶ χωνεύσεις αὐτοῖς πέντε βάσεις χαλκᾶς | 36 Make a screen, too, out of twisted linen thread, embroidered with threads of blue and purple and scarlet twice-dyed, for the entrance of the tabernacle; 37 it must hang from five gilded posts of acacia wood, with gilt capitals and sockets of bronze. | 36 Facies et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi de hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere plumarii. 37 Et quinque columnas deaurabis lignorum setim, ante quas ducetur tentorium: quarum erunt capita aurea, et bases æneæ. |
[1] According to the Hebrew text, here and in verse 31 but not in verse 36, the embroidery was a pattern of cherubim.
[2] It is clear from verses 15 sqq. that the main structure of the tabernacle was a wooden framework, unroofed, and open at the eastern end, ten cubits high, ten cubits wide (from north to south), and thirty cubits long (from east to west). Over this a huge piece of tapestry, made in strips, and measuring forty cubits by twenty-eight, appears to have been spread like a tablecloth, covering the top and the western end, but falling short of the ground by one cubit on the north and south. The tapestry, like all the structure of the tabernacle, was made of adjustable pieces, for convenience of transport.
[3] The outer covering of goats’ hair, being thirty cubits wide, reached the ground on the north and south. Its length exceeded that of the tapestry by four cubits, and verse 9 seems to imply that these extra four cubits hung looped over the eastern, open end of the structure. Confusingly, verse 12 appears to speak of this loop as being at the back of the tabernacle; but perhaps the reader is here expected to place himself in imagination inside the building, facing west. The size and position of the two coverings mentioned in verse 14 are a matter of conjecture.
[4] The Latin version evidently thinks of the frames as mortised to one another; some interpret the Hebrew text as meaning that each frame consisted of two uprights joined together by cross-pieces.
[5] The six frames give a width of nine cubits, where ten cubits are required. It seems natural to suppose that the gap was filled by the two frames mentioned in verse 23. These may have had a width of nine inches instead of eighteen; or they may have jutted out to north and south of the building; or they may have been put in a slanting position (so as to face north-west and south-west respectively) by way of joining the west end to the north and south sides—a need for which no provision is made in the text. Some think they acted as lean-to buttresses at the west end, but (i) the mention of sockets suggests that they stood perpendicular, and (ii) it is difficult in that case to see what filled the gap in the western wall; we can hardly suppose that the frames on the north and south sides were nine inches thick.
[6] The Latin text here differs considerably from the Hebrew, which is too obscure to admit of any certain interpretation.
[7] The Hebrew text appears to mean ‘And the middle pole along the middle of the frames (shall be) reaching from end to end’; see the description in 36.33 below.
[8] The rare word used in the Hebrew text is thought to mean ‘hooks’.
