族長たちのささげ物

モーセは幕屋を建て終わった日に、幕屋の各部に油を注いできよめの儀式を行いました。祭壇とその用具にも同じようにしました。 それから、人口調査をした族長たち(各部族の長)がささげ物を持って来ました。 覆いをかけた六台の荷車を、それぞれ二頭の雄牛に引かせて来たので、二人に車一台、一人につき雄牛一頭の割でした。それを幕屋の前で主にささげました。 4-5 すると主はモーセに、「そのささげ物を受け取りなさい。荷車も幕屋の仕事に必要だから、レビ人に渡しなさい」と言いました。 モーセは言われたとおり、荷車と雄牛をレビ人に渡しました。 ゲルション族には荷車二台と雄牛四頭、 アロンの息子イタマルの監督のもとにあるメラリ族には、荷車四台と雄牛八頭です。 ケハテ族には何も渡しませんでした。彼らは幕屋の用具をかつぐことになっていたからです。

10 族長たちはまた、祭壇に油を注ぐ日には、ささげ物を持って来て祭壇の前に供えました。 11 主はモーセに命じました。「祭壇のささげ物は、一日に一人の割で持って来させなさい。」

12 第一日は、ユダ族のアミナダブの子ナフションの番でした。 13 彼は、重さ百三十シェケルの銀の皿と七十シェケルの銀の鉢に、穀物の供え物として、油でこねた上等の小麦粉を山盛りにして来ました。 14 香を入れた十シェケルの金のひしゃくもありました。 15 さらに、焼き尽くすいけにえとして若い雄牛一頭、雄羊一頭、一歳の雄の子羊一頭、 16 罪の赦しのためのいけにえとして雄やぎ一頭、 17 和解のいけにえとして雄牛二頭、雄羊五頭、雄やぎ五頭、一歳の雄の子羊五頭を引いて来ました。

18-23 二日目は、イッサカル族の族長でツアルの子ネタヌエルの番でした。彼は、前日のナフションと全く同じ物をささげました。

24-29 三日目は、ゼブルン族の族長でヘロンの子エリアブが、前の二人と全く同じ物をささげました。

30-35 四日目は、ルベン族の族長シェデウルの子エリツルで、これも全く同じ物でした。

36-41 五日目は、シメオン族の族長でツリシャダイの子シェルミエルが、同じ物を持って来ました。

42-47 六日目は、ガド族の族長デウエルの子エルヤサフですが、これも全く同じでした。

48-53 七日目は、エフライム族の族長でアミフデの子エリシャマが、やはり同じ物をささげました。

54-59 八日目もまた、マナセ族の族長でペダツルの子ガムリエルが、同じ物を持って来ました。

60-65 九日目も、ベニヤミン族の族長でギデオニの子アビダンが、同じ物を持って来ました。

66-71 ダン族の族長でアミシャダイの子アヒエゼルは、十日目に当たりました。ささげ物は前の九人と同じでした。

72-77 十一日目に当たった、アシェル族の族長でオクランの子パグイエルも、やはり同じ物をささげました。

78-83 十二日目は、ナフタリ族の族長でエナンの子アヒラの番でしたが、これもまた、他の者と全く同じでした。

84-86 以上が、祭壇に注ぎの油を注ぐ日に、まず各族長たちが祭壇奉納のためにささげた物です。ささげ物の総計は次のとおりです。銀の皿十二枚、銀の鉢十二個、金のひしゃく十二個。

87 焼き尽くすいけにえとして持って来た物は、雄牛十二頭、雄羊十二頭、一歳の雄の子羊十二頭。

罪の赦しのためのいけにえとして持って来た物は、雄やぎ十二頭。

88 和解のいけにえとして持って来た物は、若い雄牛二十四頭、雄羊六十頭、雄やぎ六十頭、一歳の雄の子羊六十頭。

89 モーセが神と話すために幕屋に入って行くと、神の恵みを示す場所である契約の箱の上の二つのケルビム(天使を象徴する像)の間から声が聞こえました。

Offerings at the Dedication of the Tabernacle

When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle,(A) he anointed(B) and consecrated it and all its furnishings.(C) He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.(D) Then the leaders of Israel,(E) the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted,(F) made offerings. They brought as their gifts before the Lord six covered carts(G) and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.

The Lord said to Moses, “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man’s work requires.”

So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites,(H) as their work required, and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites,(I) as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites,(J) because they were to carry on their shoulders(K) the holy things, for which they were responsible.

10 When the altar was anointed,(L) the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication(M) and presented them before the altar. 11 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar.”
