Exodus 39 – NIV & CCB

New International Version

Exodus 39:1-43

The Priestly Garments

1From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary. They also made sacred garments for Aaron, as the Lord commanded Moses.

The Ephod

2They39:2 Or He; also in verses 7, 8 and 22 made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 3They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut strands to be worked into the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen—the work of skilled hands. 4They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened. 5Its skillfully woven waistband was like it—of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen, as the Lord commanded Moses.

6They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel. 7Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses.

The Breastpiece

8They fashioned the breastpiece—the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 9It was square—a span39:9 That is, about 9 inches or about 23 centimeters long and a span wide—and folded double. 10Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; 11the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 12the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst; 13the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper.39:13 The precise identification of some of these precious stones is uncertain. They were mounted in gold filigree settings. 14There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

15For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. 16They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece. 17They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, 18and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. 19They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod. 20Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 21They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod—as the Lord commanded Moses.

Other Priestly Garments

22They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver— 23with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar,39:23 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear. 24They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe. 25And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates. 26The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord commanded Moses.

27For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen—the work of a weaver— 28and the turban of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. 29The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the Lord commanded Moses.

30They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: Holy to the Lord. 31Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Moses Inspects the Tabernacle

32So all the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses. 33Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 34the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather39:34 Possibly the hides of large aquatic mammals and the shielding curtain; 35the ark of the covenant law with its poles and the atonement cover; 36the table with all its articles and the bread of the Presence; 37the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its accessories, and the olive oil for the light; 38the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent; 39the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin with its stand; 40the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; the ropes and tent pegs for the courtyard; all the furnishings for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; 41and the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when serving as priests.

42The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 43Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.

出埃及记 39:1-43

祭司的衣服

1比撒列按照耶和华对摩西的吩咐,用蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线精工制作在圣所供职时穿的礼服,又为亚伦制作圣衣。 2用金线和细麻线及蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线精工制作以弗得, 3把金子打成薄片,剪成细线,与细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线巧妙地织在一起。 4他做了两条肩带,固定在以弗得两边,用来连接以弗得。 5又按耶和华对摩西的吩咐,照以弗得的做法用金线和细麻线及蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线精工制作腰带,缝在以弗得上。 6他选了两块红玛瑙,用刻图章的方法刻上以色列十二个儿子的名字,镶在两个金框里, 7再缝在以弗得的两条肩带上,作以色列人的纪念石。这些都是照耶和华对摩西的吩咐做的。

8他精工制作胸牌,与以弗得一样用金线和细麻线及蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线织成。 9胸牌呈正方形,叠成两层,长宽各二十二厘米。 10上面镶上四行宝石:第一行是红宝石、黄玉和翠玉; 11第二行是绿宝石、蓝宝石和金刚石; 12第三行是紫玛瑙、白玛瑙和紫晶; 13第四行是水苍玉、红玛瑙和碧玉。以上四行宝石都镶在胸牌的金框内。 14他用刻图章的方法,在十二颗宝石上刻上以色列儿子的名字,代表以色列的十二支派。

15他用纯金拧成两条像绳子一样的链子,连在胸牌上, 16又造两个金框和两个金环,把金环安在胸牌两端。 17把两条金链分别穿在两个金环里, 18又把两条金链的另一端分别连在以弗得前面肩带的两个金框上。 19在靠近以弗得内侧、胸牌下面的两端造了两个金环。 20在以弗得肩带下端、接近腰带的地方又造了两个金环。 21用一条蓝色的带子系住以弗得和胸牌上面的金环,使胸牌贴在精工织成的以弗得腰带上,不会从以弗得上松脱。这些都是照耶和华对摩西的吩咐做的。

22以弗得的外袍用纯蓝色的线织成, 23上面有领口,领口上织领边,像铠甲上的领口一样,免得领口破裂。 24外袍的底边用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线做成石榴状的饰物, 25又造纯金的铃铛挂在外袍底边的石榴间, 26一个石榴一个金铃铛,相间排列,围在外袍的底边。这件外袍是祭司供职时穿的,正如耶和华对摩西的吩咐。

27他用细麻布为亚伦父子们缝制内袍、 28礼冠、头巾和裤子, 29还用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线绣制腰带。这是照耶和华对摩西的吩咐做的。 30又用纯金造了牌子,就是圣冠,上面用刻图章的方法刻上“奉献给耶和华”的字样, 31然后用一条蓝色的带子把这个牌子系在礼冠上。这些都是照耶和华对摩西的吩咐做的。

圣幕完工

32圣幕,就是会幕的工作就这样全部完成了,都是以色列人照耶和华对摩西的吩咐做的。 33他们把圣幕和各样器具都送到摩西那里,即钩子、木板、横闩、柱子、带凹槽的底座; 34海狗皮顶盖、遮掩约柜的幔子、染成红色的公羊皮盖; 35约柜、抬约柜的横杠、施恩座; 36桌子、桌上的一切器具和供饼; 37纯金的灯台、灯盏、灯台的一切器具、灯油; 38金坛、膏油、芬芳的香;会幕的门帘; 39铜祭坛、祭坛的铜网、抬祭坛的横杠、祭坛用的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座; 40院子的帷幔、柱子、带凹槽的底座、院子入口的门帘、绳子、橛子和会幕,即圣幕所需的一切器具; 41在圣所供职时穿的精制礼服、亚伦祭司的圣衣及其众子供祭司之职时穿的衣服。 42这一切都是以色列人照耶和华对摩西的吩咐做的。 43摩西察看这一切工作,见他们都是按照耶和华的吩咐做的,就给他们祝福。
