Exode 28
La Bible du Semeur

Les vêtements du grand-prêtre

28 Tu feras venir auprès de toi ton frère Aaron et ses fils, Nadab et Abihou, Eléazar et Itamar. Ils seront pris du milieu des Israélites pour me servir comme prêtres. 2 Tu confectionneras pour ton frère Aaron des vêtements sacrés, insignes de gloire et de dignité. 3 Tu donneras des instructions à tous les artisans habiles que j’ai remplis d’un Esprit qui leur confère de l’habileté : tu leur demanderas de confectionner les vêtements d’Aaron pour le consacrer à mon sacerdoce. 4 Voici les habits qu’ils auront à confectionner : un pectoral, un éphod, une robe, une tunique brodée, un turban et une écharpe. Ils feront ces vêtements sacrés pour ton frère Aaron et pour ses fils, afin qu’ils me servent comme prêtres. 5 Ils utiliseront des fils d’or, de pourpre violette et écarlate, de rouge éclatant et du fin lin.

L’éphod

6 Ils feront l’éphod[a] avec des fils d’or, de pourpre violette et écarlate, de rouge éclatant et de fin lin retors, dans les règles de l’art. 7 On y fera deux bretelles cousues à ses deux bords. 8 Sa ceinture sera faite de la même façon, de la même étoffe que l’éphod ; elle sera faite de fils d’or, de pourpre violette et écarlate, de rouge éclatant et de fin lin retors. 9 Tu prendras deux pierres d’onyx sur lesquelles tu graveras les noms des fils d’Israël : 10 six noms sur la première pierre et les six autres sur la seconde dans l’ordre de leur naissance. 11 Tu feras graver ces noms sur ces deux pierres par un graveur de pierre comme on grave un sceau à cacheter ; tu sertiras ces pierres dans des montures d’or 12 et tu les fixeras sur les bretelles de l’éphod. Ces pierres rappelleront le souvenir des fils d’Israël, et Aaron portera leurs noms sur ses deux épaules devant l’Eternel comme un constant rappel. 13 Tu feras aussi faire les deux montures en or 14 et deux chaînettes en or pur que tu feras en forme de tresses torsadées ; tu fixeras ces chaînettes ainsi tressées aux montures.

Le pectoral

15 Tu feras le pectoral du verdict[b], dans les règles de l’art, ouvragé comme l’éphod : tu le feras de fils d’or, de pourpre violette et écarlate, de rouge éclatant et de fin lin retors. 16 Une fois replié en deux, il aura la forme d’un carré de vingt-cinq centimètres[c] de côté. 17 Il sera garni de quatre rangées de pierreries. Sur la première : une sardoine, une topaze et une émeraude. 18 Sur la seconde rangée : un rubis, un saphir et un diamant. 19 Sur la troisième : une opale, une agate et une améthyste. 20 Sur la quatrième : une chrysolithe, un onyx et un jaspe[d]. Ces pierreries seront serties dans des chatons en or. 21 Elles seront gravées aux noms des douze fils d’Israël comme des sceaux à cacheter ; chacune portera le nom d’une des douze tribus.

22 Tu feras au pectoral des chaînettes d’or pur, tressées comme des cordons. 23 Tu lui feras aussi deux anneaux d’or que tu fixeras à ses deux bords. 24 Tu passeras les deux cordons d’or dans ces deux anneaux, aux bords du pectoral, 25 et tu fixeras les deux bouts des deux cordons à deux agrafes, pour les attacher aux deux bretelles de l’éphod, par-devant. 26 Tu feras de plus deux anneaux d’or que tu placeras aux bords du pectoral, sur la face intérieure, contre l’éphod. 27 Tu feras deux autres anneaux d’or que tu fixeras par le bas aux deux bretelles de l’éphod, sur le devant, près de l’attache, au-dessus de la ceinture de l’éphod. 28 On liera les anneaux du pectoral à ceux de l’éphod par un cordonnet[e] de pourpre violette, pour qu’il soit fixé sur la ceinture de l’éphod sans pouvoir s’en séparer.

29 Ainsi, par ce pectoral du verdict, lorsque Aaron entrera dans le sanctuaire, il portera sur son cœur les noms des fils d’Israël pour en évoquer constamment le souvenir devant l’Eternel. 30 Tu placeras dans le pectoral du verdict l’ourim et le toummim[f], qui seront ainsi sur le cœur d’Aaron lorsqu’il se présentera devant l’Eternel, et Aaron portera en permanence sur son cœur, devant l’Eternel, le moyen de connaître mon verdict concernant les problèmes des Israélites.

Les autres vêtements du grand-prêtre et de ses fils

31 Tu feras la robe de l’éphod tout entière en pourpre violette[g]. 32 Elle aura au milieu une ouverture pour y passer la tête, elle sera garnie tout autour d’un ourlet tissé comme l’encolure d’un vêtement de cuir, pour que la robe ne se déchire pas. 33 Tu en garniras le pan de grenades faites de fils de pourpre violette et écarlate et de rouge éclatant alternant avec des clochettes d’or tout autour : 34 une clochette d’or et une grenade, et ainsi de suite sur tout le tour du pan de la robe. 35 Aaron la portera pour effectuer son service et l’on entendra le tintement des clochettes lorsqu’il entrera en présence de l’Eternel dans le lieu saint et lorsqu’il en sortira ; ainsi il ne mourra pas.

36 Tu feras un insigne d’or pur sur lequel tu graveras comme sur un sceau à cacheter : « Consacré à l’Eternel ». 37 Tu le fixeras par un cordonnet de pourpre violette sur le devant du turban 38 pour qu’il orne le front d’Aaron. Il se chargera des fautes commises par les Israélites lorsqu’ils m’apporteront toute espèce d’offrandes consacrées. Cet insigne sera toujours sur son front pour que moi, l’Eternel, je les agrée.

39 Enfin tu feras confectionner pour lui la tunique de fin lin et le turban de fin lin ; et la ceinture, celle-ci sera brodée. 40 Tu feras aussi pour les fils d’Aaron des tuniques, des ceintures et des turbans, insignes de gloire et de dignité.

41 Tu revêtiras ton frère Aaron ainsi que ses fils de ces ornements ; tu leur conféreras l’onction pour les investir de leur charge et les consacrer à mon service comme prêtres. 42 Tu leur feras aussi des caleçons de lin pour cacher leur nudité des reins aux cuisses. 43 Aaron et ses fils les porteront quand ils entreront dans la tente de la Rencontre ou quand ils s’approcheront de l’autel pour faire le service dans le lieu saint ; ainsi, ils ne se rendront pas coupables d’une faute qui entraînerait leur mort. C’est une ordonnance en vigueur à perpétuité pour Aaron et pour ses descendants.

Exod 28
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014

Îmbrăcămintea preoţească

28 Apropie de tine pe fratele tău, Aaron,(A) şi pe fiii săi şi ia-i dintre copiii lui Israel şi pune-i deoparte în slujba Mea ca preoţi: pe Aaron şi pe fiii lui Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar şi Itamar. 2 Fratelui(B) tău, Aaron, să-i faci haine sfinte, ca să-i slujească de cinste şi podoabă. 3 Vorbeşte(C) cu toţi cei destoinici, cărora(D) le-am dat un duh de pricepere, să facă veşmintele lui Aaron ca să fie sfinţit şi să-Mi împlinească slujbă de preot. 4 Iată veşmintele pe care le vor face: un(E) pieptar(F), un efod, o(G) mantie, o tunică(H) lucrată la gherghef, o mitră şi un brâu. Să facă fratelui tău, Aaron, şi fiilor săi veşminte sfinte, ca să-Mi împlinească slujba de preot. 5 Să întrebuinţeze aur, materii vopsite în albastru, în purpuriu, în cărămiziu şi in subţire.

Efodul şi brâul

6 Efodul(I) să-l facă din aur, din fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi din in subţire răsucit; să fie lucrat cu măiestrie. 7 Să aibă doi umerari uniţi cu el; la cele două capete ale lui, să fie legat de ei. 8 Brâul să fie de aceeaşi lucrătură ca efodul şi prins pe el; să fie de aur, de fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi de in subţire răsucit. 9 Să iei apoi două pietre de onix şi să sapi pe ele numele fiilor lui Israel: 10 şase din numele lor pe o piatră şi alte şase pe a doua piatră, după şirul naşterilor. 11 Pe cele două pietre să sapi numele fiilor lui Israel, cum se face săpătura pe pietre şi pe peceţi; să le legi într-o ferecătură de aur. 12 Amândouă aceste pietre să le pui pe umerarii efodului, ca aducere-aminte de fiii lui Israel, şi Aaron(J) le va purta numele înaintea Domnului, pe cei doi umeri ai lui, ca(K) aducere-aminte de ei. 13 Să faci apoi nişte ferecături de aur 14 şi două lănţişoare de aur curat, pe care să le împleteşti în chip de sfori, şi lanţurile acestea, împletite astfel, să le pui în ferecături.

Pieptarul

15 Să faci(L) apoi pieptarul judecăţii, lucrat cu măiestrie, să-l faci din aceeaşi lucrătură ca efodul; să-l faci din aur, din fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi din in subţire răsucit. 16 Să fie în patru colţuri şi îndoit; lungimea lui să fie de o palmă şi lăţimea, tot de o palmă. 17 În el să(M) ţeşi o ţesătură de pietre, şi anume patru rânduri de pietre: în rândul întâi, un sardonix, un topaz şi un smaragd; 18 în al doilea rând, un rubin, un safir şi un diamant; 19 în al treilea rând, un opal, un agat şi un ametist; 20 în al patrulea rând, un hrisolit, un onix şi un iaspis. Aceste pietre să fie legate în ferecătura lor de aur. 21 Să fie douăsprezece, după numele fiilor lui Israel, săpate ca nişte peceţi, fiecare cu numele uneia din cele douăsprezece seminţii. 22 Pentru pieptar să faci nişte lănţişoare de aur curat, împletite ca nişte sfori. 23 Să faci pentru pieptar două verigi de aur, şi aceste două verigi de aur să le pui la cele două capete ale pieptarului. 24 Cele două lanţuri de aur împletite să le prinzi de cele două verigi de la cele două capete ale pieptarului. 25 Iar celelalte două capete ale celor două lanţuri împletite să le prinzi de cele două ferecături şi să le pui peste umerarii efodului, în partea dinainte. 26 Să mai faci două verigi de aur şi să le pui la celelalte două capete de jos ale pieptarului, pe marginea dinăuntru care este îndreptată spre efod. 27 Şi să mai faci alte două verigi de aur, pe care să le pui jos la cei doi umerari ai efodului pe partea dinainte a lui, tocmai acolo unde se îmbucă efodul cu umerarii, deasupra brâului efodului. 28 Pieptarul cu verigile lui să-l lege de verigile efodului cu o sfoară albastră, pentru ca pieptarul să stea ţeapăn deasupra brâului efodului şi să nu poată să se mişte de pe efod. 29 Când va intra Aaron în Sfântul Locaş, va purta pe inima lui numele fiilor lui Israel, săpate pe pieptarul judecăţii, ca să păstreze totdeauna(N) aducerea-aminte de ei înaintea Domnului. 30 Să pui(O) în pieptarul judecăţii Urim şi Tumim[a], care să fie pe inima lui Aaron când se va înfăţişa el înaintea Domnului. Astfel, Aaron va purta necurmat pe inima lui judecata copiilor lui Israel când se va înfăţişa înaintea Domnului.

Mantia albastră

31 Mantia de sub efod s-o(P) faci întreagă de materie albastră. 32 La mijloc, să aibă o gură pentru intrarea capului şi gura aceasta să aibă de jur împrejur o tivitură ţesută, ca gura unei platoşe, ca să nu se rupă. 33 Pe margine, de jur împrejurul tiviturii, să pui nişte rodii de culoare albastră, purpurie şi cărămizie, presărate cu clopoţei de aur: 34 un clopoţel de aur şi o rodie, un clopoţel de aur şi o rodie, pe toată marginea mantiei, de jur împrejur. 35 Aaron se va îmbrăca cu ea ca să facă slujba; când va intra în Locaşul Sfânt înaintea Domnului, şi când va ieşi din el, se va auzi sunetul clopoţeilor, aşa că el nu va muri.

Tabla de aur, tunica, mitra şi brâul

36 Să faci(Q) şi o tablă de aur curat şi să sapi pe ea, cum se sapă pe o pecete: „Sfinţenie Domnului”. 37 S-o legi cu o sfoară albastră de mitră, în partea dinainte a mitrei. 38 Ea să fie pe fruntea lui Aaron şi Aaron va(R) purta fărădelegile săvârşite de copiii lui Israel când îşi aduc toate darurile lor sfinte; ea va fi necurmat pe fruntea lui înaintea Domnului, pentru ca ei să fie plăcuţi(S) înaintea Lui. 39 Tunica s-o faci de in subţire; să faci o mitră de in subţire şi să faci un brâu lucrat la gherghef. 40 Fiilor lui Aaron să le(T) faci tunici, să le faci brâne şi să le faci scufii, spre cinste şi podoabă. 41 Să îmbraci cu ele pe fratele tău Aaron şi pe fiii lui împreună cu el. Să-i ungi(U), să-i închini(V) în slujbă, să-i sfinţeşti, şi-Mi vor sluji ca preoţi. 42 Fă-le izmene(W) de in, ca să-şi acopere goliciunea, de la brâu până la glezne. 43 Aaron şi fiii lui le vor purta când vor intra în cortul întâlnirii sau când se vor apropia de altar(X), ca să facă slujba în Locaşul Sfânt; astfel ei nu se vor face vinovaţi(Y) şi nu vor muri. Aceasta(Z) este o lege veşnică pentru Aaron şi pentru urmaşii lui după el.

The Priestly Garments

28 “Have Aaron(A) your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu,(B) Eleazar and Ithamar,(C) so they may serve me as priests.(D) 2 Make sacred garments(E) for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.(F) 3 Tell all the skilled workers(G) to whom I have given wisdom(H) in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest. 4 These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece,(I) an ephod,(J) a robe,(K) a woven tunic,(L) a turban(M) and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests. 5 Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.(N)

The Ephod(O)

6 “Make the ephod(P) of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen—the work of skilled hands. 7 It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened. 8 Its skillfully woven waistband(Q) is to be like it—of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.

9 “Take two onyx stones and engrave(R) on them the names of the sons of Israel 10 in the order of their birth—six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. 11 Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings 12 and fasten them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear the names on his shoulders(S) as a memorial(T) before the Lord. 13 Make gold filigree settings 14 and two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings.

The Breastpiece(U)

15 “Fashion a breastpiece(V) for making decisions—the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 16 It is to be square—a span[a] long and a span wide—and folded double. 17 Then mount four rows of precious stones(W) on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite(X) and beryl; 18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst; 20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper.[b] Mount them in gold filigree settings. 21 There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel,(Y) each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.(Z)

22 “For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. 23 Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece. 24 Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, 25 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. 26 Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod. 27 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.

29 “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place,(AA) he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord. 30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim(AB) in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.

Other Priestly Garments(AC)

31 “Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, 32 with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar[c] around this opening, so that it will not tear. 33 Make pomegranates(AD) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them. 34 The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe. 35 Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he comes out, so that he will not die.

36 “Make a plate(AE) of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: holy to the Lord.(AF) 37 Fasten a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban. 38 It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and he will bear the guilt(AG) involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron’s forehead continually so that they will be acceptable(AH) to the Lord.

39 “Weave the tunic(AI) of fine linen and make the turban(AJ) of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer. 40 Make tunics, sashes and caps for Aaron’s sons(AK) to give them dignity and honor.(AL) 41 After you put these clothes(AM) on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint(AN) and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.(AO)

42 “Make linen undergarments(AP) as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh. 43 Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the tent of meeting(AQ) or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place,(AR) so that they will not incur guilt and die.(AS)

“This is to be a lasting ordinance(AT) for Aaron and his descendants.

Garments for the Priesthood(A)

28 “Now take (B)Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to Me as (C)priest, Aaron and Aaron’s sons: (D)Nadab, Abihu, (E)Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 And (F)you shall make [a]holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. 3 So (G)you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, (H)whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest. 4 And these are the garments which they shall make: (I)a breastplate, (J)an [b]ephod, (K)a robe, (L)a skillfully woven tunic, a turban, and (M)a sash. So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest.

The Ephod

5 “They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, 6 (N)and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked. 7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together. 8 And the [c]intricately woven band of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen.

9 “Then you shall take two onyx (O)stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel: 10 six of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their (P)birth. 11 With the work of an (Q)engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold. 12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So (R)Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders (S)as a memorial. 13 You shall also make settings of gold, 14 and you shall make two chains of pure gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.

The Breastplate(T)

15 (U)“You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it. 16 It shall be doubled into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width. 17 (V)And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row shall be a [d]sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row; 18 the second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 19 the third row, a [e]jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row, a [f]beryl, an [g]onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold settings. 21 And the stones shall have the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.

22 “You shall make chains for the breastplate at the end, like braided cords of pure gold. 23 And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 Then you shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate; 25 and the other two ends of the two braided chains you shall fasten to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.

26 “You shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the ephod. 27 And two other rings of gold you shall make, and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the [h]intricately woven band of the ephod. 28 They shall bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod, using a blue cord, so that it is above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate does not come loose from the ephod.

29 “So Aaron shall (W)bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment over his heart, when he goes into the holy place, as a memorial before the Lord continually. 30 And (X)you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the [i]Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. So Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.

Other Priestly Garments(Y)

31 (Z)“You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 There shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it; it shall have a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a coat of mail, so that it does not tear. 33 And upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe all around. 35 And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before the Lord and when he comes out, that he may not die.

36 (AA)“You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet:

HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

37 And you shall put it on a blue cord, that it may be on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban. 38 So it shall be on Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may (AB)bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel hallow in all their [j]holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be (AC)accepted before the Lord.

39 “You shall (AD)skillfully weave the tunic of fine linen thread, you shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the sash of woven work.

40 (AE)“For Aaron’s sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make sashes for them. And you shall make [k]hats for them, for glory and (AF)beauty. 41 So you shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him. You shall (AG)anoint them, (AH)consecrate them, and [l]sanctify them, that they may minister to Me as priests. 42 And you shall make (AI)for them linen trousers to cover their [m]nakedness; they shall [n]reach from the waist to the thighs. 43 They shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near (AJ)the altar to minister in the holy place, that they (AK)do not incur [o]iniquity and die. (AL)It shall be a statute forever to him and his descendants after him.
