¹ 耶和華的話又臨到我說：

² 人子啊，你要使耶路撒冷知道他那些可憎的事，

³ 說主耶和華對耶路撒冷如此說：你根本，你出世，是在迦南地；你父親是亞摩利人，你母親是赫人。

⁴ 論到你出世的景況，在你初生的日子沒有為你斷臍帶，也沒有用水洗你，使你潔淨，絲毫沒有撒鹽在你身上，也沒有用布裹你。

⁵ 誰的眼也不可憐你，為你做一件這樣的事憐恤你；但你初生的日子扔在田野，是因你被厭惡。

⁶ 我從你旁邊經過，見你滾在血中，就對你說：你雖在血中，仍可存活；你雖在血中，仍可存活。

⁷ 我使你生長好像田間所長的，你就漸漸長大，以致極其俊美，兩乳成形，頭髮長成，你卻仍然赤身露體。

⁸ 我從你旁邊經過，看見你的時候正動愛情，便用衣襟搭在你身上，遮蓋你的赤體；又向你起誓，與你結盟，你就歸於我。這是主耶和華說的。

⁹ 那時我用水洗你，洗淨你身上的血，又用油抹你。

¹⁰ 我也使你身穿繡花衣服，腳穿海狗皮鞋，並用細麻布給你束腰，用絲綢為衣披在你身上，

¹¹ 又用妝飾打扮你，將鐲子戴在你手上，將金鍊戴在你項上。

¹² 我也將環子戴在你鼻子上，將耳環戴在你耳朵上，將華冠戴在你頭上。

¹³ 這樣，你就有金銀的妝飾，穿的是細麻衣和絲綢，並繡花衣；吃的是細麵、蜂蜜，並油。你也極其美貌，發達到王后的尊榮。

¹⁴ 你美貌的名聲傳在列邦中，你十分美貌，是因我加在你身上的威榮。這是主耶和華說的。

¹⁵ 只是你仗著自己的美貌，又因你的名聲就行邪淫。你縱情淫亂，使過路的任意而行。

¹⁶ 你用衣服為自己在高處結彩，在其上行邪淫。這樣的事將來必沒有，也必不再行了。

¹⁷ 你又將我所給你那華美的金銀、寶器為自己製造人像，與他行邪淫；

¹⁸ 又用你的繡花衣服給他披上，並將我的膏油和香料擺在他跟前；

¹⁹ 又將我賜給你的食物，就是我賜給你吃的細麵、油，和蜂蜜，都擺在他跟前為馨香的供物。這是主耶和華說的。

²⁰ 並且你將給我所生的兒女焚獻給他。

²¹ 你行淫亂豈是小事，竟將我的兒女殺了，使他們經火歸與他麼？

²² 你行這一切可憎和淫亂的事，並未追念你幼年赤身露體滾在血中的日子。

²³ 你行這一切惡事之後（主耶和華說：你有禍了！有禍了！）

²⁴ 又為自己建造圓頂花樓，在各街上做了高臺。

²⁵ 你在一切市口上建造高臺，使你的美貌變為可憎的，又與一切過路的多行淫亂。

²⁶ 你也和你鄰邦放縱情慾的埃及人行淫，加增你的淫亂，惹我發怒。

²⁷ 因此我伸手攻擊你，減少你應用的糧食，又將你交給恨你的非利士眾女（眾女是城邑的意思；本章下同），使他們任意待你。他們見你的淫行，為你羞恥。

²⁸ 你因貪色無厭，又與亞述人行淫，與他們行淫之後，仍不滿意，

²⁹ 並且多行淫亂，直到那貿易之地，就是迦勒底，你仍不滿意。

³⁰ 主耶和華說：你行這一切事，都是不知羞恥妓女所行的，可見你的心是何等懦弱！

³¹ 因你在一切市口上建造圓頂花樓，在各街上做了高臺，你卻藐視賞賜，不像妓女。

³² 哎！你這行淫的妻啊，寧肯接外人，不接丈夫。

³³ 凡妓女是得人贈送，你反倒贈送你所愛的人，賄賂他們從四圍來與你行淫。

³⁴ 你行淫與別的婦女相反，因為不是人從你行淫；你既贈送人，人並不贈送你；所以你與別的婦女相反。

³⁵ 你這妓女啊，要聽耶和華的話。

³⁶ 主耶和華如此說：因你的污穢傾洩了，你與你所愛的行淫露出下體，又因你拜一切可憎的偶像，流兒女的血獻給他，

³⁷ 我就要將你一切相歡相愛的和你一切所恨的都聚集來，從四圍攻擊你；又將你的下體露出，使他們看盡了。

³⁸ 我也要審判你，好像官長審判淫婦和流人血的婦女一樣。我因忿怒忌恨，使流血的罪歸到你身上。

³⁹ 我又要將你交在他們手中；他們必拆毀你的圓頂花樓，毀壞你的高臺，剝去你的衣服，奪取你的華美寶器，留下你赤身露體。

⁴⁰ 他們也必帶多人來攻擊你，用石頭打死你，用刀劍刺透你，

⁴¹ 用火焚燒你的房屋，在許多婦人眼前向你施行審判。我必使你不再行淫，也不再贈送與人。

⁴² 這樣，我就止息向你發的忿怒，我的忌恨也要離開你，我要安靜不再惱怒。

⁴³ 因你不追念你幼年的日子，在這一切的事上向我發烈怒，所以我必照你所行的報應在你頭上，你就不再貪淫，行那一切可憎的事。這是主耶和華說的。

⁴⁴ 凡說俗語的必用俗語攻擊你，說：母親怎樣，女兒也怎樣。

⁴⁵ 你正是你母親的女兒，厭棄丈夫和兒女；你正是你姊妹的姊妹，厭棄丈夫和兒女。你母親是赫人，你父親是亞摩利人。

⁴⁶ 你的姊姊是撒瑪利亞，他和他的眾女住在你左邊；你的妹妹是所多瑪，他和他的眾女住在你右邊。

⁴⁷ 你沒有效法他們的行為，也沒有照他們可憎的事去做，你以那為小事，你一切所行的倒比他們更壞。

⁴⁸ 主耶和華說：我指著我的永生起誓，你妹妹所多瑪與他的眾女尚未行你和你眾女所行的事。

⁴⁹ 看哪，你妹妹所多瑪的罪孽是這樣：他和他的眾女都心驕氣傲，糧食飽足，大享安逸，並沒有扶助困苦和窮乏人的手。

⁵⁰ 他們狂傲，在我面前行可憎的事，我看見便將他們除掉。

⁵¹ 撒瑪利亞沒有犯你一半的罪，你行可憎的事比他更多，使你的姊妹因你所行一切可憎的事，倒顯為義。

⁵² 你既斷定你姊妹為義（為義：或譯當受羞辱），就要擔當自己的羞辱；因你所犯的罪比他們更為可憎，他們就比你更顯為義；你既使你的姊妹顯為義，你就要抱愧擔當自己的羞辱。

⁵³ 我必叫他們被擄的歸回，就是叫所多瑪和他的眾女，撒瑪利亞和他的眾女，並你們中間被擄的，都要歸回，

⁵⁴ 好使你擔當自己的羞辱，並因你一切所行的使他們得安慰，你就抱愧。

⁵⁵ 你的妹妹所多瑪和他的眾女必歸回原位；撒瑪利亞和他的眾女，你和你的眾女，也必歸回原位。

⁵⁶ 在你驕傲的日子，你的惡行沒有顯露以先，你的口就不提你的妹妹所多瑪。那受了凌辱的亞蘭眾女和亞蘭四圍非利士的眾女都恨惡你，藐視你。

⁵⁷ a

⁵⁸ 耶和華說：你貪淫和可憎的事，你已經擔當了。

⁵⁹ 主耶和華如此說：你這輕看誓言、背棄盟約的，我必照你所行的待你。

⁶⁰ 然而我要追念在你幼年時與你所立的約，也要與你立定永約。

⁶¹ 你接待你姊姊和你妹妹的時候，你要追念你所行的，自覺慚愧；並且我要將他們賜你為女兒，卻不是按著前約。

⁶² 我要堅定與你所立的約（你就知道我是耶和華），

⁶³ 好使你在我赦免你一切所行的時候，心裡追念，自覺抱愧，又因你的羞辱就不再開口。這是主耶和華說的。

¹⁴ 他使你境內平安，用上好的麥子使你滿足。

¹ "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

² Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

³ You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

⁴ You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

⁵ You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

⁶ You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

⁷ Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

⁸ When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

⁹ You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

¹⁰ Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

¹¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹² "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

¹³ They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

¹⁴ Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

¹⁵ The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

¹⁶ You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

¹⁷ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

¹⁹ Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

²⁰ When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

²¹ So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

²² Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²³ "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

²⁴ and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

²⁵ You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

²⁶ You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

²⁷ the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

²⁸ the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

²⁹ You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

³⁰ You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

³¹ You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

³² It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

³³ Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

³⁴ Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

³⁵ and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

³⁶ and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

³⁷ The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

³⁸ Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
