出埃及 36
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
36 摩西说：“比撒列、亚何利亚伯以及所有蒙耶和华赐智慧聪明、有技能、懂得如何建造圣所的人，都要按照耶和华的吩咐去做。”
2 于是，摩西召来比撒列、亚何利亚伯和所有蒙耶和华赐智慧、有技能、愿意参与建造的人。 3 他们从摩西那里领取了以色列百姓奉献出来建造圣所的一切礼物。每天早上，百姓仍然甘心乐意地来奉献礼物， 4 以致所有建造圣所的能工巧匠都放下自己的工作， 5 前来对摩西说：“百姓的奉献太多了，我们建造耶和华吩咐的圣所用不了。”
6 于是，摩西传令全营：“大家不用再为圣所奉献礼物了。”百姓这才停止奉献。 7 因为所献的材料已经足够建造圣所，而且绰绰有余。
8 工人中的能工巧匠用十幅幔子做成了圣幕，幔子用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线织成，上面精工绣制了基路伯天使。 9 每幅幔子的尺寸都一样，长十二米、宽两米。 10 又把每五幅幔子连在一起，共连成两幅大幔子。 11 然后在每幅大幔子边缘钉上了蓝色的扣环， 12 每幅各钉上五十个扣环，都是两两相对。 13 又做了五十个金钩，把两幅大幔子连在一起，成为圣幕。
14 比撒列用山羊毛织成十一幅幔子，做圣幕的罩棚， 15 每幅幔子的尺寸都一样，长十三米、宽两米。 16 然后把五幅连成一大幅，余下的六幅又连成一大幅。 17 又在这两幅大幔子边缘各钉上五十个对称的扣环， 18 再用五十个铜钩，把两幅大幔子连在一起，成为一个罩棚， 19 并在罩棚上面盖一层染成红色的公羊皮，再盖一层海狗皮做顶盖。
20 他用皂荚木做支撑圣幕的木板， 21 每块木板长四米，宽六十六厘米， 22 上面都有两个接榫，用来把木板连接在一起。圣幕的所有木板都这样做。 23 圣幕的南面共有二十块木板， 24 在这些木板下面又造了四十个带凹槽的银底座，每块木板下面有两个，套在木板的两个接榫上。 25 圣幕北面也有二十块木板， 26 木板下面同样有四十个带凹槽的银底座，每块木板下面有两个银底座。 27 圣幕的后面，就是西面，有六块木板， 28 圣幕的两个拐角各有两块木板， 29 木板的下端连于底座，顶端用一个环固定。两个拐角都要这样做。 30 这样后面共有八块木板，每块木板下面各有两个银底座，一共是十六个银底座。
31-32 他用皂荚木做横闩，圣幕左右两边和后面的墙板上各有五根横闩， 33 拦腰固定墙板的那根横闩从这端贯穿到那端。 34 所有的木板和横闩都包上金，并在木板上造金环，用来穿横闩。
35 他用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线织成一幅幔子，精工绣上基路伯天使， 36 把这幅幔子挂在四根用皂荚木造的柱子上，柱子外面包上金，加上金钩，四根柱子下面有四个银底座。 37 他又用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线绣制圣幕的门帘， 38 用皂荚木做五根挂门帘的柱子，上面有金钩，柱顶和横杆包上金。柱子的五个底座是铜造的。

36 Betsaleel, Oholiab, et tous les hommes habiles, en qui l'Éternel avait mis de la sagesse et de l'intelligence pour savoir et pour faire, exécutèrent les ouvrages destinés au service du sanctuaire, selon tout ce que l'Éternel avait ordonné.
2 Moïse appela Betsaleel, Oholiab, et tous les hommes habiles dans l'esprit desquels l'Éternel avait mis de l'intelligence, tous ceux dont le coeur était disposé à s'appliquer à l'oeuvre pour l'exécuter.
3 Ils prirent devant Moïse toutes les offrandes qu'avaient apportées les enfants d'Israël pour faire les ouvrages destinés au service du sanctuaire. Chaque matin, on apportait encore à Moïse des offrandes volontaires.
4 Alors tous les hommes habiles, occupés à tous les travaux du sanctuaire, quittèrent chacun l'ouvrage qu'ils faisaient,
5 et vinrent dire à Moïse: Le peuple apporte beaucoup plus qu'il ne faut pour exécuter les ouvrages que l'Éternel a ordonné de faire.
6 Moïse fit publier dans le camp que personne, homme ou femme, ne s'occupât plus d'offrandes pour le sanctuaire. On empêcha ainsi le peuple d'en apporter.
7 Les objets préparés suffisaient, et au delà, pour tous les ouvrages à faire.
8 Tous les hommes habiles, qui travaillèrent à l'oeuvre, firent le tabernacle avec dix tapis de fin lin retors et de fil bleu, pourpre et cramoisi; on y représenta des chérubins artistement travaillés.
9 La longueur d'un tapis était de vingt-huit coudées; et la largeur d'un tapis était de quatre coudées; la mesure était la même pour tous les tapis.
10 Cinq de ces tapis furent joints ensemble; les cinq autres furent aussi joints ensemble.
11 On fit des lacets bleus au bord du tapis terminant le premier assemblage; on fit de même au bord du tapis terminant le second assemblage.
12 On mit cinquante lacets au premier tapis, et l'on mit cinquante lacets au bord du tapis terminant le second assemblage; ces lacets se correspondaient les uns aux autres.
13 On fit cinquante agrafes d'or, et l'on joignit les tapis l'un à l'autre avec les agrafes. Et le tabernacle forma un tout.
14 On fit des tapis de poil de chèvre, pour servir de tente sur le tabernacle; on fit onze de ces tapis.
15 La longueur d'un tapis était de trente coudées, et la largeur d'un tapis était de quatre coudées; la mesure était la même pour les onze tapis.
16 On joignit séparément cinq de ces tapis, et les six autres séparément.
17 On mit cinquante lacets au bord du tapis terminant un assemblage, et l'on mit cinquante lacets au bord du tapis du second assemblage.
18 On fit cinquante agrafes d'airain, pour assembler la tente, afin qu'elle formât un tout.
19 On fit pour la tente une couverture de peaux de béliers teintes en rouge, et une couverture de peaux de dauphins, qui devait être mise par-dessus.
20 On fit les planches pour le tabernacle; elles étaient de bois d'acacia, placées debout.
21 La longueur d'une planche était de dix coudées, et la largeur d'une planche était d'une coudée et demie.
22 Il y avait pour chaque planche deux tenons, joints l'un à l'autre; l'on fit de même pour toutes les planches du tabernacle.
23 On fit vingt planches pour le tabernacle, du côté du midi.
24 On mit quarante bases d'argent sous les vingt planches, deux bases sous chaque planche pour ses deux tenons.
25 On fit vingt planches pour le second côté du tabernacle, le côté du nord,
26 et leur quarante bases d'argent, deux bases sous chaque planche.
27 On fit six planches pour le fond du tabernacle, du côté de l'occident.
28 On fit deux planches pour les angles du tabernacle dans le fond;
29 elles étaient doubles depuis le bas et bien liées à leur sommet par un anneau; on fit de même pour toutes aux deux angles.
30 Il y avait ainsi huit planches, avec leurs bases d'argent, soit seize bases, deux bases sous chaque planche.
31 On fit cinq barres de bois d'acacia pour les planches de l'un des côtés du tabernacle,
32 cinq barres pour les planches du second côté du tabernacle, et cinq barres pour les planches du côté du tabernacle formant le fond vers l'occident;
33 on fit la barre du milieu pour traverser les planches d'une extrémité à l'autre.
34 On couvrit d'or les planches, et l'on fit d'or leurs anneaux pour recevoir les barres, et l'on couvrit d'or les barres.
35 On fit le voile de fil bleu, pourpre et cramoisi, et de fin lin retors; on le fit artistement travaillé, et l'on y représenta des chérubins.
36 On fit pour lui quatre colonnes d'acacia, et on les couvrit d'or; elles avaient des crochets d'or, et l'on fondit pour elles quatre bases d'argent.
37 On fit pour l'entrée de la tente un rideau de fil bleu, pourpre et cramoisi, et de fin lin retors; c'était un ouvrage de broderie.
38 On fit ses cinq colonnes et leurs crochets, et l'on couvrit d'or leurs chapiteaux et leurs tringles; leurs cinq bases étaient d'airain.
Exodus 36
New English Translation
36 1 So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person[a] in whom the Lord has put skill[b] and ability[c] to know how[d] to do all the work for the service[e] of the sanctuary are to do the work[f] according to all that the Lord has commanded.”
2 Moses summoned[g] Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom[h] the Lord had put skill—everyone whose heart stirred him[i] to volunteer[j] to do the work. 3 They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do[k] the work for the service of the sanctuary, and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning.[l] 4 So all the skilled people who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came from the work[m] they were doing 5 and told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than[n] is needed for the completion[o] of the work which the Lord commanded us to do!”[p]
6 Moses instructed them to take[q] his message[r] throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman do anymore work for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing any more.[s] 7 Now the materials were more than enough[t] for them to do all the work.[u]
The Building of the Tabernacle
8 All the skilled among those who were doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarn; they were made with cherubim that were the work of an artistic designer. 9 The length of one curtain was 42 feet, and the width of one curtain was 6 feet—the same size for each of the curtains. 10 He joined[v] five of the curtains to one another, and the other[w] five curtains he joined to one another. 11 He made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in the first set; he did the same along the edge of the end curtain in the second set. 12 He made fifty loops on the first curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end curtain that was in the second set, with the loops opposite one another. 13 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.[x]
14 He made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.[y] 15 The length of one curtain was 45 feet, and the width of one curtain was 6 feet—one size for all eleven curtains. 16 He joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. 17 He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joined the second set. 18 He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be a unit.[z] 19 He made a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather.[aa]
20 He made the frames[ab] for the tabernacle of acacia wood[ac] as uprights.[ad] 21 The length of each[ae] frame was 15 feet, the width of each[af] frame was 2¼ feet, 22 with[ag] two projections per frame parallel one to another.[ah] He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 23 So he made frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side. 24 He made forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise[ai] two bases under the next frame for its two projections, 25 and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames 26 and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame and two bases under the next[aj] frame. 27 And for the back of the tabernacle on the west he made six frames. 28 He made two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back. 29 At the two corners[ak] they were doubled at the lower end and[al] finished together at the top in one ring. So he did for both. 30 So there were eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under each frame.
31 He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle 32 and five bars for the frames on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle for the back side on the west. 33 He made the middle bar to reach from end to end in the center of the frames. 34 He overlaid the frames with gold and made their rings of gold to provide places[am] for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
35 He made the special curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen; he made[an] it with cherubim, the work of an artistic designer. 36 He made for it four posts of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, with gold hooks,[ao] and he cast for them four silver bases.
37 He made a hanging for the entrance of the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, 38 and its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their tops[ap] and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.[aq]
Footnotes
- Exodus 36:1 tn Heb “wise of [in] heart.”
- Exodus 36:1 tn Heb “wisdom.”
- Exodus 36:1 tn Heb “understanding, discernment.”
- Exodus 36:1 tn The relative clause includes this infinitive clause that expresses either the purpose or the result of God’s giving wisdom and understanding to these folk.
- Exodus 36:1 tn This noun is usually given an interpretive translation. B. Jacob renders the bound relationship as “the holy task” or “the sacred task” (Exodus, 1019). The NIV makes it “constructing,” so read “the work of constructing the sanctuary.”
- Exodus 36:1 tn The first word of the verse is a perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive; it is singular because it agrees with the first of the compound subject. The sentence is a little cumbersome because of the extended relative clause in the middle.
- Exodus 36:2 tn The verb קָרָא (qaraʾ) plus the preposition “to”—“to call to” someone means “to summon” that person.
- Exodus 36:2 tn Here there is a slight change: “in whose heart Yahweh had put skill.”
- Exodus 36:2 tn Or “whose heart was willing.”
- Exodus 36:2 sn The verb means more than “approach” or “draw near”; קָרַב (qarav) is the word used for drawing near the altar as in bringing an offering. Here they offer themselves, their talents and their time.
- Exodus 36:3 tn In the Hebrew text the infinitive “to do it” comes after “sanctuary”; it makes a smoother rendering in English to move it forward, rather than reading “brought for the work.”
- Exodus 36:3 tn Heb “in the morning, in the morning.”
- Exodus 36:4 tn Heb “a man, a man from his work”; or “each one from his work.”
- Exodus 36:5 tn The construction uses the verbal hendiadys: מַרְבִּים לְהָבִיא (marbim lehaviʾ) is the Hiphil participle followed (after the subject) by the Hiphil infinitive construct. It would read, “they multiply…to bring,” meaning, “they bring more” than is needed.
- Exodus 36:5 tn Heb “for the service” (so KJV, ASV).
- Exodus 36:5 tn The last clause is merely the infinitive with an object—“to do it.” It clearly means the skilled workers are to do it.
- Exodus 36:6 tn The verse simply reads, “and Moses commanded and they caused [a voice] to cross over in the camp.” The second preterite with the vav may be subordinated to the first clause, giving the intent (purpose or result).
- Exodus 36:6 tn Heb “voice.”
- Exodus 36:6 tn The verse ends with the infinitive serving as the object of the preposition: “from bringing.”
- Exodus 36:7 tn This part of the sentence comes from the final verb, the Hiphil infinitive—leave over, meaning, have more than enough (see BDB 451 s.v. יָתַר).
- Exodus 36:7 tn Heb “for all the work, to do it.”sn This lengthy section (35:1-36:7) forms one of the most remarkable sections in the book. Here there is a mixture of God’s preparation of people to do the work and their willingness to give and to serve. It not only provides insight into this renewed community of believers, but it also provides a timeless message for the church. The point is clear enough: In response to God’s commission, and inspired by God’s Spirit, the faithful and willing people rally to support and participate in the Lord’s work.
- Exodus 36:10 tn The verb is singular since it probably is referring to Bezalel, but since he would not do all the work himself, it may be that the verbs could be given a plural subject: “they joined.”
- Exodus 36:10 tn The words “the other” have been supplied.
- Exodus 36:13 tn Heb “one.”
- Exodus 36:14 tn Heb “eleven curtains he made them.”
- Exodus 36:18 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct from the verb “to be” to express this purpose clause: “to be one,” or, “so that it might be a unit.”
- Exodus 36:19 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
- Exodus 36:20 tn There is debate whether the word הַקְּרָשִׁים (haqqerashim) means “boards” or “frames” or “planks” (see Ezek 27:6) or “beams,” given the size of them. The literature on this includes M. Haran, “The Priestly Image of the Tabernacle,” HUCA 36 (1965): 192; B. A. Levine, “The Description of the Tabernacle Texts of the Pentateuch,” JAOS 85 (1965): 307-18; J. Morgenstern, “The Ark, the Ephod, and the Tent,” HUCA 17 (1942/43): 153-265; 18 (1943/44): 1-52.
- Exodus 36:20 tn “Wood” is an adverbial accusative.
- Exodus 36:20 tn The plural participle “standing” refers to how these items will be situated; they will be vertical rather than horizontal (U. Cassuto, Exodus, 354).
- Exodus 36:21 tn Heb “the frame.”
- Exodus 36:21 tn Heb “the one.”
- Exodus 36:22 tn Heb “two hands to the one frame.”
- Exodus 36:22 tn Heb “joined one to one.”
- Exodus 36:24 tn The clause is repeated to show the distributive sense; it literally says, “and two bases under the one frame for its two projections.”
- Exodus 36:26 tn Heb “under the one frame” again.
- Exodus 36:29 tn This is the last phrase of the verse, moved forward for clarity.
- Exodus 36:29 tn This difficult verse uses the perfect tense at the beginning, and the second clause parallels it with יִהְיוּ (yihyu), which has to be taken here as a preterite without the consecutive vav (ו). The predicate “finished” or “completed” is the word תָּמִּים (tammim); it normally means “complete, sound, whole,” and related words describe the sacrifices as without blemish.
- Exodus 36:34 tn Literally “houses”; i.e., places to hold the bars.
- Exodus 36:35 tn The verb is simply “he made” but as in Exod 26:31 it probably means that the cherubim were worked into the curtain with the yarn, and so embroidered on the curtain.
- Exodus 36:36 tn Heb “and their hooks gold.”
- Exodus 36:38 tn The word is “their heads”; technically it would be “their capitals” (so ASV, NAB, NRSV). The bands were bands of metal surrounding these capitals just beneath them. These are not mentioned in Exod 26:37, and it sounds like the posts are to be covered with gold. But the gradation of metals is what is intended: the posts at the entrance to the Most Holy Place are all of gold; the posts at the entrance to the tent are overlaid with gold at the top; and the posts at the entrance to the courtyard are overlaid with silver at the top (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 387, citing Dillmann without reference).
- Exodus 36:38 sn For a good summary of the differences between the instruction section and the completion section, and the reasons for the changes and the omissions, see B. Jacob, Exodus, 1022-23.
