出埃及记 35
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
安息日之條例(A)
35 摩西召集了以色列全體會眾，對他們說：“這就是耶和華吩咐的話，要你們遵行。 2 六日要工作，但第七日是你們的聖日，要歸耶和華為休息的安息日。凡是在這日工作的，必須把他處死。 3 在安息日，不可在你們任何的住處生火。”
建造會幕的技工(B)
4 摩西告訴以色列全體會眾說：“耶和華吩咐的是這樣，他說： 5 ‘你們要從你們中間拿禮物來給耶和華，凡是甘心樂意的，都可以把耶和華的禮物帶來，就是金、銀、銅、 6 藍色紫色朱紅色線、細麻、山羊毛、 7 染紅的公羊皮、海狗皮、皂莢木、 8 燈油，以及作膏油和芬芳的香的香料、 9 紅瑪瑙寶石，以及可以鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的寶石。
10 “‘你們中間凡是心裡有智慧的都要來，做耶和華吩咐的一切， 11 就是做帳幕、帳幕的棚罩、帳幕的蓋、鉤子、木板、橫閂、柱子、帳幕的座、 12 櫃、櫃槓、施恩座、遮蓋至聖所的幔子、 13 桌子、桌子的槓、桌子的一切器具、陳設餅、 14 燈臺、燈臺的器具、燈盞、燈油、 15 香壇、香壇的槓、膏油、芬芳的香、帳幕門口的門簾、 16 燔祭壇、壇的銅網、壇槓、壇的一切器具、洗濯盆、盆座、 17 院子的帷子、帷子的柱子、帷子的座、院子的門簾、 18 帳幕的釘子、院子的釘子，以及這兩處的繩子、 19 在聖所供職用的彩衣、祭司亞倫的聖衣和他兒子供祭司職用的衣服。’”
20 以色列全體會眾從摩西面前離去了。 21 凡是心裡受感、靈裡樂意的，都來了；他們把耶和華的禮物都帶來了，用作會幕的工程和會幕中的一切使用，又用來做聖衣。 22 凡是甘心樂意的，不論男女，都來了，把金針、耳環、戒指、手釧和各樣的金器都送來。他們各人都把金子作禮物呈獻給耶和華。 23 凡是有藍色紫色朱紅色線、細麻、山羊毛、染紅的公羊皮、海狗皮的，都送了來。 24 凡是奉獻銀子和銅為禮物的，都帶了來作耶和華的禮物；凡是有皂莢木可以用作工程上任何使用的，都帶了來。 25 凡是心中有智慧的婦女都親手紡織，把所紡的藍色紫色朱紅色線都帶了來。 26 凡是有心意又有智慧的婦女，都紡山羊毛。 27 首領把紅瑪瑙寶石，以及可以鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的寶石都帶了來； 28 又帶來了香料、點燈用的油、膏油、芬芳的香。 29 以色列人無論男女，凡是甘心樂意為作耶和華藉摩西吩咐的一切工程的，都把自願奉獻的禮物帶了來獻給耶和華。
30 摩西對以色列人說：“看哪，猶大支派中戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列，耶和華已經提名召他， 31 又用 神的靈充滿他，使他有智慧，有聰明，有知識，有作一切巧工的技能。 32 能巧設圖案，用金、銀、銅製造各物； 33 又能雕刻寶石，用來鑲嵌；又能雕刻木頭，用來製造各種巧工。 34 耶和華又賜給他和但支派中亞希撒抹的兒子亞何利亞伯，心裡有教導人的恩賜。 35 耶和華又用智慧充滿他們的心，使他們能作各種工作，雕刻的工，設圖案的工，用藍色紫色朱紅色線和細麻刺繡的工，以及編織的工。他們能作各種工程，也能巧設圖案。”

安息日的条例
35 摩西招聚以色列全体会众，对他们宣布说：“以下是耶和华吩咐你们遵守的事。 2 一周可以工作六天，但第七天是圣日，是你们为耶和华守安息的日子。凡在这一天工作的，必被处死。 3 在安息日，家家户户都不可生火。”
为造圣幕奉献
4 摩西对以色列全体会众说：“以下是耶和华给你们的吩咐。
5 “凡慷慨乐捐的，都可以把下列物品献给耶和华为礼物，即金，银，铜， 6 细麻线，山羊毛，蓝色、紫色和朱红色的线， 7 染成红色的公羊皮，海狗皮，皂荚木， 8 灯油，制作膏油和香的香料， 9 镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的红玛瑙及其他宝石。
10 “你们当中的能工巧匠都要来建造耶和华所吩咐的物件， 11 即圣幕和圣幕的罩棚、顶盖、钩子、木板、横闩、柱子和底座； 12 约柜和抬约柜的横杠、施恩座和遮掩约柜的幔子； 13 桌子和抬桌子的横杠、桌上的一切器具和供饼； 14 灯台和灯台用的器具、灯盏和灯油； 15 香坛和抬香坛的横杠、膏油和芬芳的香；圣幕门口的帘子； 16 燔祭坛、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； 17 院子的帷幔、悬挂幔子的柱子和底座、遮挡院子入口的门帘； 18 圣幕和院子用的橛子和绳索； 19 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。”
20 摩西说完后，以色列全体会众便从他面前退去。 21 凡心里有感动又甘愿奉献的，都把礼物拿来献给耶和华，作会幕、会幕中的一切器具及圣衣之用。 22 凡甘心奉献的，不论男女，都把别针、耳环、戒指、项链等各样金饰拿来献给耶和华。 23 凡有细麻线，山羊毛，蓝色、紫色和朱红色的线，染成红色的公羊皮，海狗皮的，都把它们拿来了。 24 凡奉献银器和铜器的，都拿来献给耶和华。凡有皂荚木的，只要用得上，都拿来奉献。 25 凡懂得纺线的妇女，都把亲手纺成的细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线拿来奉献。 26 凡心里受感动又懂得纺织的妇女都来纺山羊毛。 27 众首领奉献了红玛瑙和其他宝石，用来镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上。 28 他们又献出香料和油，用来做香、点灯、做膏油。 29 以色列人，不论男女、凡是甘心乐意奉献的，都把礼物带来献给耶和华，好完成耶和华借摩西吩咐他们的一切工作。
30 摩西对以色列人说：“看啊，耶和华已经亲自选出犹大支派中户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列， 31 上帝的灵已经充满他，使他有聪明智慧，精于各种技能和手艺， 32 懂得用金、银和铜制造各式各样精巧的器具， 33 又能雕刻和镶嵌宝石，精通木工和各种手艺。 34 耶和华又使他与但支派亚希撒抹的儿子亚何利亚伯有能力教授别人。 35 耶和华使他们成为能工巧匠，精通各样技艺，包括雕刻、图案设计、纺织以及用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线刺绣。”
Exodus 35
New English Translation
Sabbath Regulations
35 Moses assembled the whole community of the Israelites and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do.[a] 2 In six days[b] work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a holy day[c] for you, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord.[d] Anyone who does work on it will be put to death. 3 You must not kindle a fire[e] in any of your homes[f] on the Sabbath day.”[g]
Willing Workers
4 [h] Moses spoke to the whole community of the Israelites, “This is the word that the Lord has commanded: 5 ‘Take[i] an offering for the Lord. Let everyone who has a willing heart[j] bring[k] an offering to the Lord:[l] gold, silver, bronze; 6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen; goats’ hair; 7 ram skins dyed red; fine leather;[m] acacia wood; 8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9 onyx stones, and other gems[n] for mounting[o] on the ephod and the breastpiece. 10 Every skilled person[p] among you is to come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 the tabernacle with[q] its tent, its covering, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases; 12 the ark, with its poles, the atonement lid, and the special curtain that conceals it; 13 the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence; 14 the lampstand for[r] the light and its accessories, its lamps, and oil for the light; 15 and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; 16 the altar for the burnt offering with its bronze grating that is on it, its poles, and all its utensils; the large basin and its pedestal; 17 the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway to the courtyard; 18 tent pegs for the tabernacle and tent pegs for the courtyard and their ropes; 19 the woven garments for serving in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.’”
20 So the whole community of the Israelites went out from the presence of Moses. 21 Everyone[s] whose heart stirred him to action[t] and everyone whose spirit was willing[u] came and brought the offering for the Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.[v] 22 They came, men and women alike,[w] all who had willing hearts. They brought brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry,[x] and everyone came who waved[y] a wave offering of gold to the Lord.
23 Everyone who had[z] blue, purple, or[aa] scarlet yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair, ram skins dyed red, or fine leather[ab] brought them.[ac] 24 Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as[ad] an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood[ae] for any work of the service brought it.[af] 25 Every woman who was skilled[ag] spun with her hands and brought what she had spun, blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, 26 and all the women whose heart stirred them to action and who were skilled[ah] spun goats’ hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted[ai] for the ephod and the breastpiece, 28 and spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the Lord through[aj] Moses had commanded them[ak] to do.
30 Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen[al] Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God—with skill, with understanding, with knowledge, and in all kinds of work— 32 to design artistic designs, to work in gold, in silver, and in bronze, 33 and in cutting stones for their setting,[am] and in cutting wood, to do work in every artistic craft.[an] 34 And he has put it in his heart[ao] to teach, he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has filled them with skill[ap] to do all kinds of work[aq] as craftsmen, as designers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and as weavers. They are[ar] craftsmen in all the work[as] and artistic designers.[at]
Footnotes
- Exodus 35:1 tn Heb “to do them”; this is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
- Exodus 35:2 tn This is an adverbial accusative of time.
- Exodus 35:2 tn The word is קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh, “holiness”). S. R. Driver suggests that the word was transposed, and the line should read: “a sabbath of entire rest, holy to Jehovah” (Exodus, 379). But the word may simply be taken as a substitution for “holy day.”
- Exodus 35:2 sn See on this H. Routtenberg, “The Laws of the Sabbath: Biblical Sources,” Dor le Dor 6 (1977): 41-43, 99-101, 153-55, 204-6; G. Robinson, “The Idea of Rest in the Old Testament and the Search for the Basic Character of Sabbath,” ZAW 92 (1980): 32-43.
- Exodus 35:3 sn Kindling a fire receives special attention here because the people thought that kindling a fire was not work, but only a preparation for some kind of work. The Law makes sure that this too was not done. But see also G. Robinson, “The Prohibition of Strange Fire in Ancient Israel: A Look at the Case of Gathering Wood and Kindling Fire on the Sabbath,” VT 28 (1978): 301-17.
- Exodus 35:3 tn Heb “dwelling places”; KJV, ASV “habitations.”
- Exodus 35:3 sn The presence of these three verses in this place has raised all kinds of questions. It may be that after the renewal of the covenant the people needed a reminder to obey God, and obeying the sign of the covenant was the starting point. But there is more to it than this; it is part of the narrative design of the book. It is the artistic design that puts the filling of the Spirit section (31:1-11) prior to the Sabbath laws (31:12-18) before the idolatry section, and then after the renewal there is the Sabbath reminder (35:1-3) before the filling of the Spirit material (35:4-36:7).
- Exodus 35:4 sn The book now turns to record how all the work of the sanctuary was done. This next unit picks up on the ideas in Exod 31:1-11. But it adds several features. The first part is the instruction of God for all people to give willingly (35:4-19); the next section tells how the faithful brought an offering for the service of the tabernacle (35:20-29); the next section tells how God set some apart with special gifts (35:30-35), and finally, the narrative reports how the faithful people of God enthusiastically began the work (36:1-7).
- Exodus 35:5 tn Heb “from with you.”
- Exodus 35:5 tn “Heart” is a genitive of specification, clarifying in what way they might be “willing.” The heart refers to their will, their choices.
- Exodus 35:5 tn The verb has a suffix that is the direct object, but the suffixed object is qualified by the second accusative: “let him bring it, an offering.”
- Exodus 35:5 tn The phrase is literally “the offering of Yahweh”; it could be a simple possessive, “Yahweh’s offering,” but a genitive that indicates the indirect object is more appropriate.
- Exodus 35:7 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
- Exodus 35:9 tn Heb “and stones.”
- Exodus 35:9 tn Heb “filling.”
- Exodus 35:10 tn Heb “wise of heart”; here also “heart” would be a genitive of specification, showing that there were those who could make skillful decisions.
- Exodus 35:11 tn In Hebrew style all these items are typically connected with a vav (ו) conjunction, but English typically uses commas except between the last two items in a series or between items in a series that are somehow related to one another. The present translation follows contemporary English style in lists such as this.
- Exodus 35:14 tn “for” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:21 tn Heb “man.”
- Exodus 35:21 tn The verb means “lift up, bear, carry.” Here the subject is “heart” or will, and so the expression describes one moved within to act.
- Exodus 35:21 tn Heb “his spirit made him willing.” The verb is used in Scripture for the freewill offering that people brought (Lev 7).
- Exodus 35:21 tn Literally “the garments of holiness,” the genitive is the attributive genitive, marking out what type of garments these were.
- Exodus 35:22 tn The expression in Hebrew is “men on/after the women,” meaning men with women, to ensure that it was clear that the preceding verse did not mean only men. B. Jacob takes it further, saying that the men came after the women because the latter had taken the initiative (Exodus, 1017).
- Exodus 35:22 tn Heb “all gold utensils.”
- Exodus 35:22 tn The verb could be translated “offered,” but it is cognate with the following noun that is the wave offering. This sentence underscores the freewill nature of the offerings people made. The word “came” is supplied from v. 21 and v. 22.
- Exodus 35:23 tn The text uses a relative clause with a resumptive pronoun for this: “who was found with him,” meaning “with whom was found.”
- Exodus 35:23 tn The conjunction in this verse is translated “or” because the sentence does not intend to say that each person had all these things. They brought what they had.
- Exodus 35:23 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
- Exodus 35:23 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:24 tn This translation takes “offering” as an adverbial accusative explaining the form or purpose of their bringing things. It could also be treated as the direct object, but that would seem unnecessarily repetitive.
- Exodus 35:24 sn U. Cassuto notes that the expression “with whom was found” does not rule out the idea that these folks went out and cut down acacia trees (Exodus, 458). It is unlikely that they had much wood in their tents.
- Exodus 35:24 tn Here “it” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:25 tn Heb “wisdom of heart,” which means that they were skilled and could make all the right choices about the work.
- Exodus 35:26 tn The text simply uses a prepositional phrase, “with/in wisdom.” It seems to be qualifying “the women” as the relative clause is.
- Exodus 35:27 tn Heb “and stones of the filling.”
- Exodus 35:29 tn Heb “by the hand of.”
- Exodus 35:29 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:30 tn Heb “called by name” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV). This expression means that the person was specifically chosen for some important task (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 342). See the expression with Cyrus in Isa 45:3-4.
- Exodus 35:33 tn Heb “to set.”
- Exodus 35:33 tn Heb “in every work of thought,” meaning, every work that required the implementation of design or plan.
- Exodus 35:34 sn The expression means that God has given them the ability and the desire to teach others how to do the work. The infinitive construct “to teach” is related to the word Torah, “instruction, guide, law.” They will be able to direct others in the work.
- Exodus 35:35 tn The expression “wisdom of heart,” or “wisdom in heart,” means artistic skill. The decisions and plans they make are skilled. The expression forms a second accusative after the verb of filling.
- Exodus 35:35 tn The expression “all the work” means “all kinds of work.”
- Exodus 35:35 tn Here “They are” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:35 tn Heb “doers of all work.”
- Exodus 35:35 tn Heb “designers of designs.”
