Exod 25
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Porunci pentru facerea cortului
25 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 2 „Vorbeşte copiilor lui Israel: ‘Să-Mi aducă un dar; să-l primiţi pentru Mine de la orice(A) om care-l va da cu tragere de inimă. 3 Iată ce veţi primi de la ei ca dar: aur, argint şi aramă; 4 materii vopsite în albastru, purpuriu, cărămiziu, pânză de in subţire şi păr de capră; 5 piei de berbeci vopsite în roşu şi piei de viţel de mare; lemn de salcâm; 6 untdelemn(B) pentru sfeşnic, mirodenii(C) pentru untdelemnul ungerii şi pentru tămâia(D) mirositoare; 7 pietre de onix şi alte pietre pentru efod(E) (umărar) şi pieptar(F). 8 Să-Mi facă un(G) locaş sfânt, şi Eu voi(H) locui în mijlocul lor. 9 Să faceţi cortul şi toate vasele lui după(I) chipul pe care ţi-l voi arăta’.
Chivotul şi capacul ispăşirii
10 Să facă(J) un chivot de lemn de salcâm; lungimea lui să fie de două coturi şi jumătate, lăţimea de un cot şi jumătate şi înălţimea de un cot şi jumătate. 11 Să-l poleieşti cu aur curat, să-l poleieşti pe dinăuntru şi pe dinafară şi să-i faci un chenar de aur de jur împrejur. 12 Să torni pentru el patru verigi de aur şi să le pui la cele patru colţuri ale lui: două verigi de o parte şi două verigi de cealaltă parte. 13 Să faci nişte drugi de lemn de salcâm şi să-i poleieşti cu aur. 14 Să vâri drugii în verigile de pe laturile chivotului, ca să slujească la ducerea chivotului; 15 drugii(K) vor rămâne în verigile chivotului şi nu vor fi scoşi din ele. 16 Să pui în chivot mărturia(L) pe care ţi-o voi da. 17 Să faci un(M) capac al ispăşirii din aur curat; lungimea lui să fie de doi coţi şi jumătate şi lăţimea lui, de un cot şi jumătate. 18 Să faci doi heruvimi de aur, să-i faci de aur bătut la cele două capete ale capacului ispăşirii; 19 să faci un heruvim la un capăt şi un heruvim la celălalt capăt; să faceţi heruvimii aceştia ieşind din capacul ispăşirii la cele două capete ale lui. 20 Heruvimii(N) să fie cu aripile întinse pe deasupra, acoperind cu aripile lor capacul ispăşirii, şi cu feţele întoarse una spre alta; heruvimii să aibă faţa întoarsă spre capacul ispăşirii. 21 Să pui capacul(O) ispăşirii pe chivot(P) şi în chivot să pui mărturia pe care ţi-o voi da. 22 Acolo(Q) Mă voi întâlni cu tine; şi de la înălţimea capacului ispăşirii, dintre(R) cei doi heruvimi aşezaţi pe chivotul mărturiei, îţi voi da toate poruncile Mele pentru copiii lui Israel.
Masa cu pâinile pentru punerea înainte
23 Să faci(S) o masă de lemn de salcâm; lungimea ei să fie de doi coţi; lăţimea, de un cot şi înălţimea, de un cot şi jumătate. 24 S-o poleieşti cu aur curat şi să-i faci un chenar de aur de jur împrejur. 25 Să-i faci împrejur un pervaz de un lat de mână; peste el să pui un chenar de aur de jur împrejur. 26 Să faci pentru masă patru verigi de aur şi să pui verigile în cele patru colţuri, care vor fi la cele patru picioare ale ei. 27 Verigile să fie lângă pervaz, şi în ele se vor vârî drugii, ca să ducă masa. 28 Drugii să-i faci din lemn de salcâm şi să-i acoperi cu aur, şi ei vor sluji la ducerea mesei. 29 Să-i faci(T) farfurii, căţui, potire şi ceşti, ca să slujească la jertfele de băutură: să le faci de aur curat. 30 Să pui(U) pe masă pâinile pentru punerea înainte, ca să fie necurmat înaintea Mea.
Sfeşnicul
31 Să faci(V) un sfeşnic de aur curat; sfeşnicul acesta să fie făcut de aur bătut: piciorul, fusul, potiraşele, gămălioarele şi florile lui să fie dintr-o bucată. 32 Din laturile lui să iasă şase braţe; trei braţe ale sfeşnicului dintr-o parte şi trei braţe ale sfeşnicului din cealaltă parte. 33 Pe un braţ să fie trei potiraşe în chip de floare de migdal, cu gămălioarele şi florile lor, şi pe celălalt braţ, trei potiraşe în chip de floare de migdal, cu gămălioarele şi florile lor; tot aşa să fie şi cele şase braţe care ies din sfeşnic. 34 Pe fusul sfeşnicului, să fie patru potiraşe în chip de floare de migdal, cu gămălioarele şi florile lor. 35 Să fie o gămălioară sub cele două braţe care ies din fusul sfeşnicului, o gămălioară sub alte două braţe şi o gămălioară sub alte două braţe; tot aşa să fie şi sub cele şase braţe care ies din sfeşnic. 36 Gămălioarele şi braţele sfeşnicului să fie dintr-o singură bucată; totul să fie de aur bătut, de aur curat. 37 Să faci cele şapte candele, care vor fi(W) puse[a] deasupra, aşa ca să lumineze(X) în faţă. 38 Mucările şi cenuşarele lui să fie de aur curat. 39 Se va întrebuinţa un talant de aur curat pentru facerea sfeşnicului cu toate uneltele lui. 40 Vezi(Y) să faci după chipul care ţi s-a arătat pe munte.

The Ark(M)
10 “Have them make an ark[b](N) of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[c] 11 Overlay(O) it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. 12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings(P) on one side and two rings on the other. 13 Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.(Q) 14 Insert the poles(R) into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it. 15 The poles are to remain in the rings of this ark; they are not to be removed.(S) 16 Then put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law,(T) which I will give you.
17 “Make an atonement cover(U) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 18 And make two cherubim(V) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. 20 The cherubim(W) are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing(X) the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. 21 Place the cover on top of the ark(Y) and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law(Z) that I will give you. 22 There, above the cover between the two cherubim(AA) that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet(AB) with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.(AC)
The Table(AD)
23 “Make a table(AE) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[d] 24 Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. 25 Also make around it a rim a handbreadth[e] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 26 Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners, where the four legs are. 27 The rings are to be close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 28 Make the poles of acacia wood, overlay them with gold(AF) and carry the table with them. 29 And make its plates and dishes of pure gold, as well as its pitchers and bowls for the pouring out of offerings.(AG) 30 Put the bread of the Presence(AH) on this table to be before me at all times.
The Lampstand(AI)
31 “Make a lampstand(AJ) of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 35 One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 36 The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.(AK)
37 “Then make its seven lamps(AL) and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. 38 Its wick trimmers and trays(AM) are to be of pure gold. 39 A talent[f] of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories. 40 See that you make them according to the pattern(AN) shown you on the mountain.

17 (M)“You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width. 18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. 20 And (N)the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. 21 (O)You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and (P)in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. 22 And (Q)there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from (R)between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
The Table for the Showbread(S)
23 (T)“You shall also make a table of acacia wood; two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 24 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a molding of gold all around. 25 You shall make for it a frame of a handbreadth all around, and you shall make a gold molding for the frame all around. 26 And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four legs. 27 The rings shall be close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table. 28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them. 29 You shall make (U)its dishes, its pans, its pitchers, and its bowls for pouring. You shall make them of pure gold. 30 And you shall set the (V)showbread on the table before Me always.
The Gold Lampstand(W)
31 (X)“You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and flowers shall be of one piece. 32 And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. 33 (Y)Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand. 34 (Z)On the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. 35 And there shall be a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand. 36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece; all of it shall be one hammered piece of pure gold. 37 You shall make seven lamps for it, and (AA)they shall arrange its lamps so that they (AB)give light in front of it. 38 And its wick-trimmers and their trays shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 40 And (AC)see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.
