出埃及記 36
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
36 摩西說:「比撒列、亞何利亞伯以及所有蒙耶和華賜智慧聰明、有技能、懂得如何建造聖所的人,都要按照耶和華的吩咐去做。」
2 於是,摩西召來比撒列、亞何利亞伯和所有蒙耶和華賜智慧、有技能、願意參與建造的人。 3 他們從摩西那裡領取了以色列百姓奉獻出來建造聖所的一切禮物。每天早上,百姓仍然甘心樂意地來奉獻禮物, 4 以致所有建造聖所的能工巧匠都放下自己的工作, 5 前來對摩西說:「百姓的奉獻太多了,我們建造耶和華吩咐的聖所用不了。」
6 於是,摩西傳令全營:「大家不用再為聖所奉獻禮物了。」百姓這才停止奉獻。 7 因為所獻的材料已經足夠建造聖所,而且綽綽有餘。
8 工人中的能工巧匠用十幅幔子做成了聖幕,幔子用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線織成,上面精工繡製了基路伯天使。 9 每幅幔子的尺寸都一樣,長十二米、寬兩米。 10 又把每五幅幔子連在一起,共連成兩幅大幔子。 11 然後在每幅大幔子邊緣釘上了藍色的扣環, 12 每幅各釘上五十個扣環,都是兩兩相對。 13 又做了五十個金鉤,把兩幅大幔子連在一起,成為聖幕。
14 比撒列用山羊毛織成十一幅幔子,做聖幕的罩棚, 15 每幅幔子的尺寸都一樣,長十三米、寬兩米。 16 然後把五幅連成一大幅,餘下的六幅又連成一大幅。 17 又在這兩幅大幔子邊緣各釘上五十個對稱的扣環, 18 再用五十個銅鉤,把兩幅大幔子連在一起,成為一個罩棚, 19 並在罩棚上面蓋一層染成紅色的公羊皮,再蓋一層海狗皮做頂蓋。
20 他用皂莢木做支撐聖幕的木板, 21 每塊木板長四米,寬六十六釐米, 22 上面都有兩個接榫,用來把木板連接在一起。聖幕的所有木板都這樣做。 23 聖幕的南面共有二十塊木板, 24 在這些木板下面又造了四十個帶凹槽的銀底座,每塊木板下面有兩個,套在木板的兩個接榫上。 25 聖幕北面也有二十塊木板, 26 木板下面同樣有四十個帶凹槽的銀底座,每塊木板下面有兩個銀底座。 27 聖幕的後面,就是西面,有六塊木板, 28 聖幕的兩個拐角各有兩塊木板, 29 木板的下端連於底座,頂端用一個環固定。兩個拐角都要這樣做。 30 這樣後面共有八塊木板,每塊木板下面各有兩個銀底座,一共是十六個銀底座。
31-32 他用皂莢木做橫閂,聖幕左右兩邊和後面的牆板上各有五根橫閂, 33 攔腰固定牆板的那根橫閂從這端貫穿到那端。 34 所有的木板和橫閂都包上金,並在木板上造金環,用來穿橫閂。
35 他用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線織成一幅幔子,精工繡上基路伯天使, 36 把這幅幔子掛在四根用皂莢木造的柱子上,柱子外面包上金,加上金鉤,四根柱子下面有四個銀底座。 37 他又用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線繡製聖幕的門簾, 38 用皂莢木做五根掛門簾的柱子,上面有金鉤,柱頂和橫杆包上金。柱子的五個底座是銅造的。
Exodus 36
Expanded Bible
36 So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every ·skilled [L wise of heart/mind] person will do the work the Lord has commanded, because he gave them the wisdom and understanding to do all the skilled work needed to build the Holy ·Tent [Place].”
2 Then Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other ·skilled [L wise of heart/mind] people to whom the Lord had given ·skills [L wisdom in their heart], and they came because ·they wanted [L their hearts were favorable] to help with the work. 3 They received from Moses everything the ·people [L sons; children] of Israel had brought as ·gifts [offerings] ·to build the Holy Tent [L for doing the work of the Holy Place]. The people continued to bring ·gifts [L free will offerings] ·each morning because they wanted to [morning after morning]. 4 So all the ·skilled [wise] workers left the work they were doing on the Holy ·Tent [L Place], 5 and they said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work the Lord commanded.”
6 Then Moses sent this command throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as a ·gift for the Holy Tent [offering for the Holy Place].” So the people were kept from giving more, 7 because what they had was already more than enough to do all the work.
The Holy Tent(A)
8 Then the ·skilled workers [L all the skilled/wise of heart] made the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle]. They made the ten curtains with linen and of blue, purple, and ·red [scarlet] cloth, and they sewed designs of ·creatures with wings [L cherubim] on the curtains [C These deep blue curtains with cherubim represented heaven on earth]. 9 Each curtain was the same size—·forty-two feet [L twenty-eight cubits] long and ·six feet [L four cubits] wide. 10 Five of the curtains were ·fastened [bound; joined] together to make one set, and the other five were ·fastened [bound; joined] together to make another set. 11 Then they made loops of blue cloth along the edge of the end curtain on the first set of five, and they did the same thing with the other set of five. 12 There were fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the other curtain, with the loops opposite each other. 13 They made fifty gold ·hooks [clasps] to join the two curtains together so that the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] was joined together as one piece.
14 Then they made another tent of eleven curtains made of goat hair [26:7], to put over the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle]. 15 All eleven curtains were the same size—·forty-five feet [L thirty cubits] long and ·six feet [L four cubits] wide. 16 The workers sewed [joined; bound] five curtains together into one set and six together into another set. 17 They made fifty loops along the edge of the outside curtain of one set and fifty loops along the edge of the outside curtain of the other set. 18 Then they made fifty bronze ·rings [hooks; clasps] to ·join [bind] the two sets of cloth together and make the tent one piece. 19 They made two more coverings for the outer tent—one made of ·male sheepskins colored red [or tanned rams’ skins; 26:14] and the other made of ·fine leather [or sea cow hide; 26:14].
20 Then they made upright frames of acacia wood for the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle]. 21 Each frame was ·fifteen feet [L ten cubits] long and ·twenty-seven inches [L a cubit and a half] wide, 22 and there were two pegs side by side on each one. Every frame of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] was made this same way. 23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the Tent, 24 and they made forty silver bases that went under the twenty frames. There were two bases for every frame—one for each peg of each frame. 25 They also made twenty frames for the [L second side of the] north side of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] 26 and forty silver bases—two to go under each frame. 27 They made six frames for the rear or west end of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] 28 and two frames for the corners at the rear of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle]. 29 These two frames were doubled at the bottom and joined at the top with a metal ring. They did this for each of these corners. 30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.
31 Then they made crossbars of acacia wood to connect the upright frames of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle]. Five crossbars held the frames together on one side of the Tent, 32 and five held the frames together on the other [L second] side. Also, five crossbars held the frames together on the west end, at the rear of the Tent. 33 They made the middle crossbar run along the entire length of each side and rear of the Tent. It was set halfway up the frames. 34 They made gold rings on the sides of the frames to hold the crossbars, and they ·covered [overlaid] the frames and the crossbars with gold.
35 Then they made the curtain of blue, purple, and ·red [scarlet] thread, and fine linen. A skilled craftsman sewed designs of ·creatures with wings [cherubim; 37:7] on it. 36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and ·covered [overlaid] them with gold. Then they made gold ·hooks [clasps] for the posts, as well as four silver bases in which to set the posts. 37 For the entrance to the Tent, they made a ·curtain [L screen] of blue, purple, and ·red [scarlet] thread, and fine linen. ·A person who sewed well sewed designs on it […embroidered with needlework]. 38 Then they made five posts and ·hooks [clasps] for it. They covered the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and they made five bronze bases for the posts.
