Éxodo 39
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Ornamentos sacerdotales (Ex 28,5-14)
39 Las vestiduras de ceremonia para oficiar en el santuario y las vestiduras sagradas de Aarón, se hicieron de púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
2 El efod lo hicieron de oro, púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, y de lino fino trenzado. 3 Forjaron a martillo unas placas de oro, las cortaron en hebras para entretejerlas hábilmente con la púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, y con el lino fino trenzado. 4 Le pusieron dos tirantes de manera que el efod quedara unido por sus dos extremos. 5 El fajín para ajustar el efod formaba una sola pieza con él y estaba confeccionado de la misma forma: era de oro, púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, y de lino fino trenzado.
6 Sobre las piedras de ónice engastadas en oro, grabaron los nombres de las tribus israelitas como se graban los sellos. 7 Y pusieron las piedras sobre los tirantes del efod para recordar a los israelitas, tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado a Moisés.
El pectoral (Ex 28,15-30)
8 El pectoral del dictamen lo hicieron también manos expertas y se confeccionó con los mismos materiales que el efod: oro, púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, y lino fino trenzado. 9 Era cuadrado, de paño doble y medía veintidós centímetros por cada lado. 10 Le engastaron una guarnición de piedras dispuestas en cuatro hileras: en la primera fila colocaron un rubí, un topacio y una esmeralda; 11 en la segunda, una turquesa, un zafiro y un diamante; 12 en la tercera, un jacinto, una ágata y una amatista; 13 y en la cuarta, un crisólito, un ónice y un jaspe. Todas ellas iban engastadas en oro 14 y hacían un total de doce piedras, como el número de las tribus israelitas. En cada piedra grabaron, a la manera en que se hace en un sello, el nombre de una de las doce tribus. 15 También hicieron para el pectoral unas cadenas de oro puro, trenzadas como cordones, 16 dos engastes de oro y dos argollas de oro que sujetaron en sus dos extremos. 17 Pasaron los dos extremos de los dos cordones de oro por las dos argollas superiores del pectoral, 18 y los otros dos extremos de los cordones los engancharon en los dos engarces que fijaron en la parte delantera de los tirantes del efod. 19 Hicieron, asimismo, dos argollas de oro y las sujetaron en los dos extremos inferiores del pectoral, sobre el borde inferior, el que queda junto al efod. 20 Además hicieron otras dos argollas de oro, que fijaron en la parte inferior y delantera de los dos tirantes del efod, junto a la costura y encima del fajín del efod. 21 Así sujetaron el pectoral, haciendo pasar entre sus argollas y las argollas del efod un cordón de púrpura violeta, de manera que el pectoral quedaba fijo sobre el fajín y no podía desprenderse del efod.
El manto (Ex 28,31-35)
22 Tejieron el manto del efod todo de púrpura violeta. 23 En el centro tenía una abertura como el cuello de un coselete; alrededor de la abertura la tela tenía un dobladillo para que no se rasgase. 24 Adornaron el borde inferior del manto con granadas de púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí y lino fino trenzado. 25 Hicieron además unos cascabeles de oro puro y los colocaron en el borde inferior del manto, alternando con las granadas: 26 un cascabel de oro y una granada; otro cascabel de oro y otra granada; así todo el borde inferior del manto. El manto se usaba para oficiar, como el Señor se lo había ordenado a Moisés.
Las vestiduras sacerdotales (Ex 28,40-42)
27 Después hicieron las túnicas de lino fino para Aarón y sus hijos; 28 hicieron el turbante de lino fino, la tiara con adornos de lino fino y los calzones, también de lino fino; 29 igualmente hicieron la faja de lino fino trenzado, recamada artísticamente, de púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, conforme al mandato del Señor a Moisés.
30 Por último, hicieron una placa de oro puro con las palabras: “Consagrado al Señor”, grabadas como se graban los sellos. 31 Luego le pusieron un cordón de púrpura violeta para colocar la placa sobre la parte delantera del turbante, conforme al mandato del Señor a Moisés.
Conclusión de la construcción de la Morada (Ex 35,10-19)
32 Así llegó a su fin la construcción de la Morada, la Tienda del encuentro. Los israelitas lo hicieron todo conforme al mandato del Señor a Moisés.
33 Entonces presentaron a Moisés la Morada, su Tienda y lo que la recubre, sus ganchos, sus tablones, sus varales, sus columnas y sus basas; 34 la cubierta de pieles de carnero curtidas, la sobrecubierta de pieles de marsopa y el velo de separación; 35 el Arca del testimonio, sus varales y su cubierta; 36 la mesa con todos sus utensilios y los panes de la ofrenda; 37 el candelabro de oro puro con sus accesorios, las lámparas que deben colocarse en él y el aceite para el alumbrado; 38 el altar de oro, el aceite de la unción, el incienso aromático y la cortina para la entrada de la Tienda; 39 el altar de bronce con su enrejado igualmente de bronce, sus varales y todos sus utensilios; la pila con su base; 40 las cortinas del atrio con sus columnas y bases, la cortina que hace las veces de puerta del atrio, sus cuerdas y sus tableros, y todos los utensilios para el servicio de la Morada, la Tienda del encuentro; 41 las vestiduras de ceremonia para oficiar en el santuario: las vestiduras sagradas del sacerdote Aarón y las vestiduras que usarían sus hijos cuando oficiaran como sacerdotes. 42 Los israelitas lo hicieron todo conforme al mandato del Señor a Moisés.
43 Cuando Moisés revisó todo el trabajo y comprobó que lo habían hecho conforme a lo que había mandado el Señor, los bendijo.
Exodus 39
King James Version
39 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the Lord commanded Moses.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the Lord commanded Moses.
6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses.
8 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the Lord commanded Moses.
27 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
29 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, Holiness To The Lord.
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the Lord commanded Moses.
32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
39 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
40 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
41 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
42 According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
Exodus 39
New King James Version
Making the Garments of the Priesthood(A)
39 Of the (B)blue, purple, and scarlet thread they made (C)garments[a] of ministry, for ministering in the [b]holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, (D)as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Making the Ephod
2 (E)He made the (F)ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen. 3 And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads, to work it in with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, into artistic designs. 4 They made shoulder straps for it to couple it together; it was coupled together at its two edges. 5 And the intricately woven band of his ephod that was on it was of the same workmanship, woven of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 (G)And they set onyx stones, enclosed in [c]settings of gold; they were engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel. 7 He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as (H)memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Making the Breastplate
8 (I)And he made the breastplate, artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen. 9 They made the breastplate square by doubling it; a span was its length and a span its width when doubled. 10 (J)And they set in it four rows of stones: a row with a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row; 11 the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12 the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings. 14 There were (K)twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes. 15 And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold. 16 They also made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 17 And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 18 The two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front. 19 And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was on the inward side of the ephod. 20 They made two other gold rings and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod. 21 And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Making the Other Priestly Garments
22 (L)He made the (M)robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. 23 And there was an opening in the middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of mail, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear. 24 They made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, and of fine woven linen. 25 And they made (N)bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between the pomegranates: 26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe to [d]minister in, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 (O)They made tunics, artistically woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons, 28 (P)a turban of fine linen, exquisite hats of fine linen, (Q)short trousers of fine woven linen, 29 (R)and a sash of fine woven linen with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, made by a weaver, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 (S)Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet:
(T)HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied to it a blue cord, to fasten it above on the turban, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The Work Completed(U)
32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was (V)finished. And the children of Israel did (W)according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. 33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 34 the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering; 35 the ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat; 36 the table, all its utensils, and the (X)showbread; 37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light; 38 the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door; 39 the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base; 40 the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs; all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 41 and the [e]garments of ministry, to [f]minister in the holy place: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister as priests.
42 According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel (Y)did all the work. 43 Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses (Z)blessed them.
