CONSTRUCTION DU TABERNACLE, 25:1–40:38
Les offrandes
25 L’Eternel parla à Moïse, et dit: 2 Parle aux enfants d’Israël. Qu’ils m’apportent une offrande; vous la recevrez pour moi de tout homme qui la fera de bon cœur. 3 Voici ce que vous recevrez d’eux en offrande: de l’or, de l’argent et de l’airain; 4 des étoffes teintes en bleu, en pourpre, en cramoisi, du fin lin et du poil de chèvre; 5 des peaux de béliers teintes en rouge et des peaux de dauphins; du bois d’acacia; 6 de l’huile pour le chandelier, des aromates pour l’huile d’onction et pour le parfum odoriférant; 7 des pierres d’onyx et d’autres pierres pour la garniture de l’éphod et du pectoral. 8 Ils me feront un sanctuaire, et j’habiterai au milieu d’eux. 9 Vous ferez le tabernacle et tous ses ustensiles d’après le modèle que je vais te montrer.
L’arche de l’alliance
10 Ils feront une arche de bois d’acacia, sa longueur sera de deux coudées et demie, sa largeur d’une coudée et demie, et sa hauteur d’une coudée et demie. 11 Tu la couvriras d’or pur, tu la couvriras en dedans et en dehors, et tu y feras une bordure d’or tout autour. 12 Tu fondras pour elle quatre anneaux d’or, et tu les mettras à ses quatre coins, deux anneaux d’un côté et deux anneaux de l’autre côté. 13 Tu feras des barres de bois d’acacia, et tu les couvriras d’or. 14 Tu passeras les barres dans les anneaux sur les côtés de l’arche, pour qu’elles servent à porter l’arche; 15 les barres resteront dans les anneaux de l’arche, et n’en seront point retirées. 16 Tu mettras dans l’arche le témoignage, que je te donnerai. 17 Tu feras un propitiatoire d’or pur; sa longueur sera de deux coudées et demie, et sa largeur d’une coudée et demie. 18 Tu feras deux chérubins d’or, tu les feras d’or battu, aux deux extrémités du propitiatoire; 19 fais un chérubin à l’une des extrémités et un chérubin à l’autre extrémité; vous ferez les chérubins sortant du propitiatoire à ses deux extrémités. 20 Les chérubins étendront les ailes par-dessus, couvrant de leurs ailes le propitiatoire, et se faisant face l’un à l’autre; les chérubins auront la face tournée vers le propitiatoire. 21 Tu mettras le propitiatoire sur l’arche, et tu mettras dans l’arche le témoignage, que je te donnerai. 22 C’est là que je me rencontrerai avec toi; du haut du propitiatoire, entre les deux chérubins placés sur l’arche du témoignage, je te donnerai tous mes ordres pour les enfants d’Israël.
La table des pains de proposition
23 Tu feras une table de bois d’acacia; sa longueur sera de deux coudées, sa largeur d’une coudée, et sa hauteur d’une coudée et demie. 24 Tu la couvriras d’or pur, et tu y feras une bordure d’or tout autour. 25 Tu y feras à l’entour un rebord de quatre doigts, sur lequel tu mettras une bordure d’or tout autour. 26 Tu feras pour la table quatre anneaux d’or, et tu mettras les anneaux aux quatre coins, qui seront à ses quatre pieds. 27 Les anneaux seront près du rebord, et recevront les barres pour porter la table. 28 Tu feras les barres de bois d’acacia, et tu les couvriras d’or; et elles serviront à porter la table. 29 Tu feras ses plats, ses coupes, ses calices et ses tasses, pour servir aux libations; tu les feras d’or pur. 30 Tu mettras sur la table les pains de proposition continuellement devant ma face.
Le chandelier d’or
31 Tu feras un chandelier d’or pur; ce chandelier sera fait d’or battu; son pied, sa tige, ses calices, ses pommes et ses fleurs seront d’une même pièce. 32 Six branches sortiront de ses côtés, trois branches du chandelier de l’un des côtés, et trois branches du chandelier de l’autre côté. 33 Il y aura sur une branche trois calices en forme d’amande, avec pommes et fleurs, et sur une autre branche trois calices en forme d’amande, avec pommes et fleurs; il en sera de même pour les six branches sortant du chandelier. 34 A la tige du chandelier, il y aura quatre calices en forme d’amande, avec leurs pommes et leurs fleurs. 35 Il y aura une pomme sous deux des branches sortant de la tige du chandelier, une pomme sous deux autres branches, et une pomme sous deux autres branches; il en sera de même pour les six branches sortant du chandelier. 36 Les pommes et les branches du chandelier seront d’une même pièce; il sera tout entier d’or battu, d’or pur. 37 Tu feras ses sept lampes, qui seront placées dessus, de manière à éclairer en face. 38 Ses mouchettes et ses vases à cendre seront d’or pur. 39 On emploiera un talent d’or pur pour faire le chandelier avec tous ses ustensiles. 40 Regarde, et fais d’après le modèle qui t’est montré sur la montagne[a].

Exodus 25
King James Version
25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
34 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
Exodus 25
New International Version
Offerings for the Tabernacle(A)
25 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts(B) them to give. 3 These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze; 4 blue, purple and scarlet yarn(C) and fine linen; goat hair; 5 ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather[a];(D) acacia wood;(E) 6 olive oil(F) for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;(G) 7 and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod(H) and breastpiece.(I)
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.
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.
