Esodo 39

Studie

   

1 POI del violato, e della porpora e dello scarlatto, coloro fecero i vestimenti del servigio, per fare il ministerio nel Santuario; e anche fecero i vestimenti sacri per Aaronne; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

2 Fecero adunque l’Efod d’oro, di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto.

3 E assottigliarono delle piastre d’oro e le tagliarono per fila, per metterle in opera per mezzo il violato, e per mezzo la porpora, e per mezzo lo scarlatto, e per mezzo il fin lino, in lavoro di disegno.

4 E fecero a quello degli omerali che si accoppiavano insieme; e così l’Efod era accoppiato dai suoi due capi.

5 E il disegno del fregio ch’era sopra l’Efod, era tirato dell’Efod istesso, e del medesimo lavoro, d’oro, e di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

6 Lavorarono ancora le pietre onichine, intorniate di castoni d’oro, nelle quali erano scolpiti i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele, a lavoro d’intagli di suggello.

7 E le misero sopra gli omerali dell’Efod, per esser pietre di ricordanza per li figliuoli d’Israele; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

8 Fecero, oltre a ciò, il Pettorale, di lavoro di disegno, e dell’istesso lavoro dell’Efod, d’oro, di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto.

9 Il Pettorale era quadrato ed essi lo fecero doppio; la sua lunghezza era d’una spanna, e la sua larghezza d’una spanna; ed era doppio.

10 E incastrarono in esso quattro ordini di pietre; nel primo v’era un sardonio, un topazio, e uno smeraldo.

11 E nel second’ordine v’era un carbonchio, uno zaffiro, e un diamante.

12 E nel terz’ordine v’era un ligurio, un’agata, ed un’amatista.

13 E nel quart’ordine v’era un grisolito, una pietra onichina, e un diaspro. Queste pietre erano legate in oro, ciascuna nel suo castone.

14 E quelle pietre erano in numero di dodici, secondo i nomi dei figliuoli d’Israele; in ciascuna d’esse era scolpito, a lavoro d’intagli di suggello, il suo nome, per le dodici tribù.

15 Fecero ancora al Pettorale le catenelle, d’oro puro, a capi, di lavoro intorcicchiato.

16 Fecero, oltre a ciò, due castoni d’oro, e due fibbie d’oro; misero eziandio due anelli a due capi del Pettorale.

17 Poi attaccarono quelle due catenelle d’oro intorcicchiate a que’ due anelli, a’ capi del Pettorale.

18 E i due capi dell’altre due catenelle intorcicchiate li attaccarono a que’ due castoni, i quali essi misero sopra gli omerali dell’Efod, in su la parte anteriore di esso.

19 Fecero ancora due anelli d’oro, i quali misero agli altri due capi del Pettorale, all’orlo di esso, ch’era allato all’Efod, in dentro.

20 Fecero, oltre a ciò, due anelli d’oro, e li misero ai due omerali dell’Efod, disotto, nella parte anteriore di esso, allato alla giuntura d’esso, disopra al fregio lavorato dell’Efod.

21 E serrarono il Pettorale da’ suoi anelli agli anelli dell’Efod, con una bendella di violato; in modo ch’egli era disopra del fregio lavorato dell’Efod, e non poteva esser tolto d’in su l’Efod; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

22 Fecero ancora il Manto dell’Efod, di lavoro tessuto, tutto di violato.

23 E nel mezzo di quel Manto v’era una scollatura, simile a una scollatura di corazza, avendo un orlo attorno, acciocchè non si schiantasse.

24 E alle fimbrie di esso Manto d’intorno, fecero delle melagrane di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, a fila ritorte.

25 Fecero ancora de’ sonagli d’oro puro, e misero que’ sonagli per mezzo quelle melagrane, alle fimbrie del Manto d’intorno, mescolandoli con le melagrane.

26 E mettendo un sonaglio, poi una melagrana; un sonaglio, poi una melagrana, alle fimbrie del Manto d’ogni intorno, per fare il ministerio; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

27 Fecero ancora le toniche di fin lino, di lavoro tessuto, per Aaronne, e per li suoi figliuoli.

28 Fecero parimente la Benda di fin lino, e gli ornamenti delle mitrie, altresì di fin lino; e le mutande line, di fin lino ritorto.

29 Fecero ancora la Cintura, di fin lino ritorto, e di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, di lavoro di ricamatore; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

30 Fecero ancora la lama della sacra corona, d’oro puro; e scrissero sopra essa, in iscrittura d’intagli di suggello: LA SANTITÀ DEL SIGNORE.

31 E misero a quella una bendella di violato, per metterla in su la Benda, disopra; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

32 Così fu finito tutto il lavorio del Padiglione, e del Tabernacolo della convenenza; e i figliuoli d’Israele fecero interamente secondo che il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

33 POI portarono a Mosè la Tenda, il Tabernacolo, e tutti i suoi arredi, i suoi graffi, le sue assi, le sue sbarre, le sue colonne, e i suoi piedistalli;

34 e la coverta delle pelli di montone tinte in rosso, e la coverta delle pelli di tasso, e la Cortina da tendere davanti al Luogo santissimo;

35 l’Arca della Testimonianza, e le sue stanghe; e il Coperchio;

36 la Tavola, e tutti i suoi strumenti; e il pane del cospetto;

37 il Candelliere puro, e le sue lampane da tenere in ordine del continuo; e tutti i suoi strumenti, e l’olio per la lumiera;

38 e l’Altare d’oro, e l’olio dell’Unzione, e il profumo degli aromati, e il Tappeto dell’entrata del Tabernacolo;

39 l’Altar di rame, e la sua grata di rame, le sue sbarre, e tutti i suoi strumenti; la Conca, e il suo piede;

40 le cortine del Cortile, le sue colonne, e i suoi piedistalli; e il Tappeto per l’entrata del Cortile; le funi di esso Cortile, e i suoi piuoli, e tutti gli arredi dell’opera della Tenda del Tabernacolo della convenenza;

41 i vestimenti del servigio, per fare il ministerio nel Santuario; i vestimenti sacri per il Sacerdote Aaronne, e i vestimenti de’ suoi figliuoli, per esercitare il sacerdozio.

42 I figliuoli d’Israele fecero tutto il lavorio, interamente secondo che il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

43 E Mosè vide tutta l’opera; ed ecco, essi l’aveano fatta come il Signore avea comandato. E Mosè li benedisse.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 39

Door New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 10807. As the things contained in this chapter, and in fact the things said about the garments of Aaron and of his sons in chapter 28, have already been unfolded in respect to the internal sense, a further explication of these things also is needless.

10807. Exodus 39

1. And from the violet, and the purple, and the twice-dyed scarlet they made the garments of service for serving in the holy place; and they made the holy garments 1 that were for Aaron, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

2. And he made the ephod from gold, violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twined linen.

3. And they beat out 2 the plates of gold and cut them up into threads, to work in among the violet, and in among the purple, and in among the twice-dyed scarlet, and in among the fine linen, with the work of a designer.

4. They made shoulder-pieces for it linked together; on its two ends it was linked together.

5. And the girdle of his ephod, which was on it, was of [one piece with] it, being of the same workmanship 3 , [made] from gold, violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twined linen, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

6. And they set the shoham 4 stones, enclosed in sockets of gold, engraved - [like] the engravings of a signet - with the names of the sons of Israel.

7. And he placed them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

8. And he made the breastplate, with the work of a designer, in accord with the work of the ephod, from gold, violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9. It was square; doubled they made the breastplate. A span was the length of it and a span the breadth of it when it was doubled 5 .

10. And they filled it with four rows of stones, the order being, A ruby, a topaz, and a carbuncle - the first row;

11. And the second row, A chrysoprase, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12. And the third row, A lapis lazuli, an agate, and an amethyst;

13. And the fourth row, A tarshish 6 , a shoham 4 , and a jasper. They were enclosed in sockets of gold, in their settings.

14. And the stones for it were according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve; according to their names, with the engravings of a signet, each according to its name, they were for the twelve tribes.

15. And they made on the breastplate small chains on the border 7 with the work of slender rope 8 , from pure gold.

16. And they made two sockets of gold, and two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17. And they put the two slender ropes of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18. And the two ends of the two slender ropes they put into the two sockets, and put them onto the shoulder-pieces of the ephod before the face of it.

19. And they made two rings of gold, and placed them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it which is on this side of the ephod, inwards.

20. And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, below before the face of it, against the join above the girdle of the ephod.

21. And they tied the breastplate from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of violet, so that it was above the girdle of the ephod, in order that the breastplate might not come away from upon the ephod, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

22. And he made the robe of the ephod with the work of a weaver, the whole from violet.

23. And he made the hole 9 of the robe, in the middle of it, its hole 9 having an edge round about, so that it would not tear.

24. And they made on the hem of the robe pomegranates from violet, and purple, and interwoven twice-dyed scarlet.

25. And they made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells in the middle of the pomegranates on the hem of the robe round about, in the middle of the pomegranates -

26. A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe round about, for ministering in, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

27. And they made the tunics of fine linen, with the work of a weaver, for Aaron and his sons,

28. And the turban from fine linen, and the adorning headdresses 10 from fine linen, and the linen undergarments from fine twined linen,

29. And the belt from fine twined linen, and violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with the work of an embroiderer, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

30. And they made the plate of the crown of holiness from pure gold, and wrote on it, [like] the writing of the engraving of a signet, Holiness to Jehovah.

31. And they attached to it 11 a cord of violet, to attach it to 12 the top of the turban, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

32. And all the work of the dwelling-place of the tent of meeting was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all the things that Jehovah had commanded Moses; so they did.

33. And they brought the dwelling-place to Moses, the tent and all its vessels, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases,

34. And the covering of skins of red rams 13 , and the covering of skins of badgers, and the veil of the screen,

35. The ark of the testimony, and its poles, and the mercy-seat,

36. The table, all its vessels, and the bread of the Presence 15 ,

37. The pure lampstand, its lamps (the lamps set in order 15 ), and all its vessels, and the oil for the light,

38. And the altar of gold, and the anointing oil, and the incense of spices, and the screen at the door of the tent,

39. The altar of bronze, and the grating of bronze made for it, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its pedestal,

40. The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the screen of the gate of the court, its ropes, and its pegs, and all the vessels of service of the dwelling-place, for the tent of meeting,

41. The garments of service for serving in the holy place, the holy garments 16 for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for serving in the priestly office.

42. According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work 17 .

43. And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Jehovah had commanded; so they had done. And Moses blessed them.
