Exode 25

Studie

   

1 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 coeur.

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.

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.

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.

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.

9455. Exodus 25

1. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2. Speak to the children of Israel, and let them take for Me an offering; from everyone whose heart is willing, 1 you are to take My offering.

3. And this is the offering which you shall take from them: Gold and silver, and bronze,

4. And violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, and wool of she-goats,

5. And skins of red rams, 2 and skins of badgers, and pieces of shittim wood; 3

6. Oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of spices;

7. Shoham 4 stones, and stones of fillings 5 for the ephod and for the breastplate.

8. And they are to make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst.

9. In accordance with all that I show you, the pattern of the dwelling-place and the pattern of all its vessels, just so you shall make it.

10. And they are to make an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

11. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, on the inside and on the outside you shall overlay it; and you shall make on it a rim of gold round about.

12. And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them on its four corners; and two rings shall be on one side of it and two rings on the other side of it.

13. And you shall make poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

14. And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark on them.

15. The poles must be in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed from it.

16. And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I shall give you.

17. And you shall make a mercy-seat from pure gold; two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.

18. And you shall make two cherubs; from solid gold you shall make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.

19. And make one cherub at the end on one side, and one cherub at the end on the other side; of one piece with the mercy-seat you shall make the cherubs 6 on its two ends.

20. And the cherubs shall be spreading out their wings upwards, covering over the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces of a man towards his brother; 7 the faces of the cherubs shall be towards the mercy-seat.

21. And you shall put the mercy-seat onto the ark, up above; and into the ark you shall put the Testimony which I shall give you.

22. And I will meet with you there, and I will speak to you from up above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubs which are over the ark of the Testimony, [declaring] everything that I shall command you for the children of Israel.

23. And you shall make a table of shittim wood; two cubits shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

24. And you shall overlay it with pure gold; and you shall make for it a rim of gold round about.

25. And you shall make for it a rail of a hand's breadth round about; and you shall make a rim of gold for its rail round about.

26. And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and you shall put the rings on the four corners which are on its four feet.

27. The rings shall be close to the rail, as houses for the poles to carry the table.

28. And you shall make the poles from shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and the table shall be carried with them.

29. And you shall make its dishes, and its cups, and its small dishes, and its small brushes, with which it shall be covered; from pure gold you shall make them.

30. And you shall put on the table the bread of faces, towards My faces unceasingly. 8

31. And you shall make a lampstand from pure gold; solid shall the lampstand be made. 9 Its shaft and its branch, its cups, its pomegranates, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 10

32. And there shall be six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it.

33. There shall be three almond-shaped cups on one branch, a pomegranate and a flower, and three almond-shaped cups on one branch, 11 a pomegranate and a flower - thus for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

34. And on [the shaft of] the lampstand there shall be four almond-shaped cups, its pomegranates and its flowers.

35. And there shall be a pomegranate under [the first] two branches out of it, and a pomegranate under [the second] two branches out of it, and a pomegranate under [the third] two branches out of it - for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

36. Their pomegranates and their branches shall be of one piece with it, 10 all [shall be part] of it, one solid [piece made] from pure gold.

37. And you shall make its seven lamps; and let it cause its lamps to go up and give light before its faces. 12

38. And its tongs and its trowels 13 [shall be made] from pure gold.

39. A talent of pure gold shall [be used to] make it, together with all these vessels.

40. And see to it that you make them in accordance with the pattern of them which you were given to see 14 on the mountain.

CONTENTS

This chapter describes the offerings for the tent, for the tables there, and also for Aaron's garments. It then goes on to give the directions for making the ark, the table for the loaves [of the Presence], and the lampstand, which were to represent the heavens, where the Lord is, and all the celestial and spiritual realities which are from the Lord there. The dwelling-place itself represented heaven, the ark there represented the inmost heaven, and the Testimony or the law within the ark represented the Lord; the loaves of the Presence on the table together with the lampstand represented the celestial realities from the Lord, and Aaron's garments represented the spiritual realities from Him, in the heavens.
