Les offrandes pour le tabernacle

25 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes : 2 Invite les Israélites à me faire des offrandes prélevées sur leurs biens. Vous accepterez de tout homme qui la donnera de bon cœur l’offrande qu’il me fera. 3 Voici ce que vous accepterez en guise d’offrande : de l’or, de l’argent et du bronze, 4 des fils de pourpre violette et écarlate, de rouge éclatant, du fin lin et du poil de chèvre, 5 des peaux de béliers teintes en rouge, des peaux de dauphins[a] et du bois d’acacia, 6 de l’huile pour le chandelier et des aromates pour l’huile d’onction[b] et pour le parfum aromatique, 7 des pierres d’onyx et d’autres pierres précieuses à enchâsser pour l’éphod et pour le pectoral[c]. 8 Le peuple me fabriquera un sanctuaire pour que j’habite au milieu de lui. 9 Je te montrerai le modèle du tabernacle[d] et de tous les ustensiles qu’il contiendra, afin que vous exécutiez tout exactement selon ce modèle.

Le coffre de l’alliance et le propitiatoire

10 On fabriquera un coffre[e] en bois d’acacia. Il aura cent vingt-cinq centimètres de long, soixante-quinze centimètres de large et soixante-quinze centimètres de haut[f]. 11 Tu le plaqueras d’or pur, à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur, et tu le garniras d’une bordure d’or tout autour. 12 Tu couleras pour lui quatre anneaux d’or que tu fixeras aux quatre coins du coffre, deux de chaque côté. 13 Tu tailleras aussi des barres de bois d’acacia que tu plaqueras d’or. 14 Tu les engageras dans les anneaux, le long des côtés du coffre pour qu’on puisse le porter. 15 Les barres devront rester en permanence dans les anneaux du coffre, on ne les en retirera pas. 16 Tu déposeras à l’intérieur de ce coffre l’acte de l’alliance que je te donnerai.

17 Tu feras aussi un propitiatoire[g] d’or pur de cent vingt-cinq centimètres de long et de soixante-quinze centimètres de large[h] qui servira de couvercle pour le coffre. 18 Tu façonneras au marteau deux chérubins[i] en or massif, que tu fixeras aux deux extrémités du propitiatoire. 19 Tu feras un chérubin pour chacune des deux extrémités du propitiatoire, de manière à ce qu’ils fassent corps avec lui aux deux extrémités. 20 Les ailes des chérubins se déploieront vers le haut en couvrant le propitiatoire et ceux-ci se feront face, le regard dirigé vers le propitiatoire. 21 Après avoir déposé dans le coffre l’acte de l’alliance que je te donnerai, tu placeras le propitiatoire dessus. 22 C’est là, au-dessus du propitiatoire, entre les deux chérubins placés sur le coffre de l’acte de l’alliance, que je me manifesterai à toi ; c’est de là que je te communiquerai tous mes ordres pour les Israélites.

La table des pains exposés devant l’Eternel

23 Tu fabriqueras une table en bois d’acacia d’un mètre de long, de cinquante centimètres de large et de soixante-quinze centimètres de haut[j]. 24 Tu la plaqueras d’or pur et tu garniras son pourtour d’une bordure d’or. 25 Tu lui feras un cadre de huit centimètres[k] que tu garniras d’une bordure d’or. 26 Tu feras quatre anneaux d’or que tu fixeras aux quatre coins près des quatre pieds de la table. 27 Les anneaux seront placés tout près du cadre pour recevoir les barres destinées à porter la table. 28 Tu feras ces barres en bois d’acacia et tu les plaqueras d’or. Elles serviront à transporter la table. 29 Tu fabriqueras aussi des plats et des coupes, des carafes et des bols qui serviront aux libations[l] ; tu les feras d’or pur. 30 Tu placeras sur la table le pain exposé devant moi. Il sera en permanence devant moi[m].

Le chandelier d’or

31 Tu feras un chandelier en or pur. Le chandelier, son pied et sa tige seront travaillés au marteau ; des coupelles, calices et corolles[n] en sortiront. 32 Six branches en partiront latéralement, trois de chaque côté. 33 Chaque branche du chandelier portera trois coupelles en forme de fleur d’amandier, avec un calice et une corolle. Il en sera ainsi pour les six branches du chandelier. 34 Le pied portera quatre coupelles en forme de fleur d’amandier avec un calice et une corolle. 35 Il y aura un calice sous chacune des trois paires de branches du chandelier. 36 Ces calices et ces branches feront corps avec lui : le tout sera d’une seule masse d’or pur martelé.

37 Tu fabriqueras aussi les sept lampes que tu fixeras en haut du chandelier, pour qu’il éclaire l’espace devant lui. 38 Tu feras ses pincettes et ses mouchettes en or pur. 39 On emploiera trente kilogrammes[o] d’or pur pour faire le chandelier et tous ses accessoires. 40 Aie soin d’exécuter tout ce travail exactement selon le modèle qui t’est montré sur la montagne[p].

An Offering for the Sanctuary

25 The Lord told Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelis to take an offering for me, and you are to accept my offering from every person whose heart moves him to give.[a] 3 This is the offering that you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze; 4 blue, purple, and scarlet material;[b] fine linen and goat hair; 5 ram skins dyed[c] red, dolphin[d] skins, and acacia wood; 6 oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for aromatic incense; 7 and onyx stones, stones for setting on the ephod and the breast piece.[e] 8 Let them make a sanctuary for me so I may live among them. 9 This is how you are to make it: according to all that I’m showing you, according to the pattern for the tent and the pattern for all its furnishings.”

The Ark of the Covenant

10 “They are to make an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits[f] long, one and a half cubits[g] wide, and one and a half cubits[h] high. 11 You are to overlay it with pure gold—you are to overlay it inside and outside—and you are to make a gold molding around it. 12 You are to cast four rings for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on one side of it and two rings on its other side. 13 You are to make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14 You are to put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark with which to carry it.[i] 15 The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark and are not to be removed from it. 16 You are to put the Testimony[j] that I will give you into the ark.

17 “You are to make a Mercy Seat[k] of pure gold, two and a half cubits[l] long and one and a half cubits[m] wide. 18 You are to make two cherubim[n] of gold; you are to make them of hammered work at the two ends of the Mercy Seat. 19 Place one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. You are to make the cherubim at the two ends of the Mercy Seat, and of one piece with it. 20 The cherubim are to spread their wings upward, covering the Mercy Seat with their wings and facing each other. The faces of the cherubim is to be turned toward the Mercy Seat. 21 You are to put the Mercy Seat on top of the ark, and put the Testimony that I’ll give you into the ark. 22 I’ll meet with you there, and I’ll tell you all my commandments[o] for the Israelis from above the Mercy Seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the Ark of the Testimony.”

The Table of Showbread

23 “You are to make a table of acacia wood, two cubits[p] long, a cubit[q] wide, and one and a half cubits[r] high. 24 You are to overlay it with pure gold, and put a gold molding around it. 25 You are to make a rim one handbreadth in width[s] around it, and you are to make a gold molding around the rim. 26 You are to make four gold rings for it, and put the rings on the four corners where its four feet are. 27 The rings are to be close to the rim as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28 You are to make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold so the table can be carried with them. 29 You are to make its plates, dishes, jars, and bowls from which libations will be poured, and you are to make them of pure gold. 30 You are to put the bread of the Presence on the table before me continuously.”

The Lamp Stand(A)

31 “You are to make a lamp stand of pure gold: the lamp stand and its base and stem are to be of hammered work, and its cups, calyxes,[t] and flowers are to be of one piece with it. 32 Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lamp stand from one side of it and three branches of the lamp stand from its other side. 33 Three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers are to be on one branch and three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers are to be on the other branch, and so for the six branches extending from the lamp stand.

34 “On the lamp stand itself there are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with their calyxes and flowers. 35 A calyx[u] is to be under the two branches that extend out of the stem;[v] a calyx is to be under the next pair of branches[w] that extend out of the stem;[x] and a calyx is to be under the last pair of branches[y] that extend out of the stem,[z] and so for the six[aa] branches extending from the lamp stand. 36 Their calyxes and their branches are to be of one piece with it; all of it is to be made of one piece of hammered work of pure gold.

37 “You are to make seven lamps for it, and its lamps are to be mounted so as to give light in front of it. 38 Its tongs and trays are to be of pure gold. 39 The lamp stand[ab]—together with all its furnishings—is to be made from a talent[ac] of pure gold. 40 Now see that you make them according to the pattern for them which you are being shown on the mountain.”

8 “Then have them make a sanctuary(J) for me, and I will dwell(K) among them. 9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern(L) I will show you.

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.

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.

Offerings for the Sanctuary(A)

25 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an [a]offering. (B)From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. 3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; 4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair; 5 ram skins dyed red, [b]badger skins, and acacia wood; 6 (C)oil for the light, and (D)spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 7 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the (E)ephod and in the breastplate. 8 And let them make Me a (F)sanctuary,[c] that (G)I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

The Ark of the Testimony(H)

10 (I)“And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of (J)gold all around. 12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; two rings shall be on one side, and two rings on the other side. 13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried by them. 15 (K)The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it. 16 And you shall put into the ark (L)the Testimony which I will give you.

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.
