¹ Av den blå og purpurrøde og karmosinrøde ull gjorde de embedsklær til tjenesten i helligdommen; og de gjorde de hellige klær som Aron skulde ha, således som Herren hadde befalt Moses

² Livkjortelen gjorde de av gull og blå og purpurrød og karmosinrød ull og fint, tvunnet lingarn.

³ De hamret ut gullet til plater og klippet det op til tråder, så det kunde virkes inn i den blå og purpurrøde og karmosinrøde ull og i det fine lingarn med kunstvevning.

⁴ De gjorde skulderstykker som blev festet til hverandre; med dem blev den hektet sammen i begge ender.

⁵ Beltet som skulde sitte på den og holde den sammen, gjorde de i ett stykke med den og i samme slags vevning som den, av gull og blå og purpurrød og karmosinrød ull og fint, tvunnet lingarn, således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.

⁶ Så gjorde de onyksstenene i stand og satte dem inn i flettverk av gull; på dem var navnene på Israels barn innskåret, likesom på et signet.

⁷ Og de satte dem på livkjortelens skulderstykker, forat de skulde minne om Israels barn, således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.

⁸ Så gjorde de brystduken i kunstvevning, i samme slags vevning som livkjortelen, av gull og blå og purpurrød og karmosinrød ull og fint, tvunnet lingarn.

⁹ Den var firkantet og dobbelt lagt; et spann lang og et spann bred var den og dobbelt lagt.

¹⁰ Og de satte på den fire rader med stener. I en rad var det en karneol, en topas og en smaragd; det var den første rad.

¹¹ I den annen rad var det en karfunkel, en safir og en diamant,

¹² og i den tredje rad en hyasint, en agat og en ametyst,

¹³ og i den fjerde rad en krysolitt, en onyks og en jaspis. De blev innfattet i hver sitt flettverk av gull.

¹⁴ Stenene var tolv i tallet efter navnene på Israels sønner, en for hvert navn; på hver sten var navnet på en av de tolv stammer innskåret, likesom på et signet.

¹⁵ Til brystduken gjorde de også kjeder av rent gull, slynget som snorer.

¹⁶ Likeså gjorde de to flettverk av gull og to gullringer, og de satte de to ringer på hver sitt hjørne av brystduken,

¹⁷ og de festet de to slyngede gullkjeder i de to ringer på hjørnene av brystduken.

¹⁸ Og de to andre ender av de to slyngede kjeder festet de i de to flettverk og festet dem så til livkjortelens skulderstykker på fremsiden.

¹⁹ Så gjorde de to gullringer og satte dem på de to andre hjørner av brystduken, på den indre side av den, den som vender inn mot livkjortelen.

²⁰ Og de gjorde ennu to gullringer og satte dem på livkjortelens to skulderstykker nedentil på fremsiden, der hvor den festes sammen, ovenfor livkjortelens belte.

²¹ ingene på brystduken bandt de til ringene på livkjortelen med en snor av blå ull, så brystduken satt ovenfor livkjortelens belte og ikke kunde skilles fra livkjortelen - således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.

²² Så gjorde de overkjortelen som hører til livkjortelen, av vevd arbeid, helt igjennem av blå ull.

²³ Midt på overkjortelen var det en åpning - likesom åpningen på en brynje - og rundt omkring åpningen var det en bord, forat den ikke skulde revne.

²⁴ På overkjortelens kant nedentil satte de granatepler av tvunnet blå og purpurrød og karmosinrød ull.

²⁵ Og de gjorde bjeller av rent gull, og de satte bjellene rundt omkring hele kanten av overkjortelen nedentil, imellem granateplene,

²⁶ en bjelle og et granateple og så atter en bjelle og et granateple, og således rundt omkring hele kanten av overkjortelen nedentil, til bruk ved tjenesten, således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.

²⁷ Så gjorde de de vevde underkjortler av fint lin til Aron og hans sønner,

²⁸ og huen av fint lin og de høie huer til pryd av fint lin og lerretsbenklærne av fint, tvunnet lingarn,

²⁹ og beltet av fint, tvunnet lingarn og blå og purpurrød og karmosinrød ull i utsydd arbeid, således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.

³⁰ Så gjorde de platen, det hellige hodesmykke, av rent gull, og de skrev på den, således som en skjærer ut et signet: Helliget Herren.

³¹ Og de satte en snor av blå ull i den for å feste den til huen oventil, således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.

³² Således blev hele arbeidet med tabernaklet, sammenkomstens telt, fullendt. Israels barn gjorde det i ett og alt således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.

³³ Og de førte tabernaklet frem til Moses: teltet med alt som hørte til det, krokene, plankene, tverrstengene og stolpene og fotstykkene

³⁴ og varetaket av rødfarvede værskinn og varetaket av takasskinn og det dekkende forheng,

³⁵ vidnesbyrdets ark med sine stenger og nådestolen,

³⁶ bordet med alt som hørte til, og skuebrødene,

³⁷ lysestaken av rent gull med lampene som skulde settes i rad, og alt som hørte til, og oljen til lysestaken

³⁸ Og det gullklædde alter og salvings-oljen og den velluktende røkelse og teppet for inngangen til teltet,

³⁹ kobber-alteret og kobber-gitteret til det, stengene og alt som hørte til, tvettekaret med sitt fotstykke,

⁴⁰ omhengene til forgården med stolpene og fotstykkene og teppet til forgårdens port, snorene og pluggene og alle de ting som skulde brukes til tjenesten i tabernaklet, sammenkomstens telt,

⁴¹ embedsklærne til tjenesten i helligdommen, de hellige klær til Aron, presten, og presteklærne til hans sønner.

⁴² Som Herren hadde befalt Moses, således gjorde Israels barn i ett og alt hele arbeidet.

⁴³ Og Moses så på alt det som var gjort, og da han så at det var ferdig, og at de i alle deler hadde gjort det således som Herren hadde befalt, da velsignet han dem.

¹ In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there.

² In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

³ He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

⁴ The man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel.

⁵ Behold, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

⁶ Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.

⁷ Every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

⁸ He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

⁹ Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.

¹⁰ The lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

¹¹ He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

¹² and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

¹³ He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; door against door.

¹⁴ He made also posts, sixty cubits; and the court [reached] to the posts, around the gate.

¹⁵ [From] the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

¹⁶ There were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches; and windows were around inward; and on [each] post were palm trees.

¹⁷ Then brought he me into the outer court; and behold, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms were on the pavement.

¹⁸ The pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

¹⁹ Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.

²⁰ The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

²¹ The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

²² The windows of it, and its arches, and the palm trees of it, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them.

²³ There was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.

²⁴ He led me toward the south; and behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.

²⁵ There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

²⁶ There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.

²⁷ There was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

²⁸ Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

²⁹ and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

³⁰ There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.

³¹ The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³² He brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;

³³ and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

³⁴ The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³⁵ He brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;

³⁶ its lodges, its posts, and its arches: and there were windows therein all around; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

³⁷ The posts of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³⁸ A room with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.

³⁹ In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

⁴⁰ On the [one] side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

⁴¹ Four tables were on this side, and Four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they killed [the sacrifices].

⁴² There were four tables for the burnt offering, of cut stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

⁴³ The hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

⁴⁴ Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

⁴⁵ He said to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;

⁴⁶ and the room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.

⁴⁷ He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

⁴⁸ Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

⁴⁹ The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
