Exodus 25

Old Testament · Brenton Septuagint with Greek parallel

Exodus 25

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,

2Speak to the children of Israel, and take first fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and you shall take my first fruits.εἶπον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ λάβετε ἀπαρχὰς παρὰ πάντων, οἷς ἂν δόξῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ, καὶ λήψεσθε τὰς ἀπαρχάς μου.

3And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold and silver and brass,Καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἀπαρχὴ, ἣν λήψεσθε παρʼ αὐτῶν· χρυσίον, καὶ ἀργύριον, καὶ χαλκὸν,

4and blue, and purple, and double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats' hair,καὶ ὑάκινθον, καὶ πορφύραν, καὶ κόκκινον διπλοῦν, καὶ βύσσον κεκλωσμένην, καὶ τρίχας αἰγείας,

5and rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins, and incorruptible wood,καὶ δέρματα κριῶν ἠρυθροδανωμένα, καὶ δέρματα ὑακίνθινα, καὶ ξύλα ἄσηπτα,

5aκαὶ ἔλαιον εἰς τὴν φαῦσιν, θυμιάματα εἰς τὸ ἔλαιον τῆς χρίσεως, καὶ εἰς τὴν σύνθεσιν τοῦ θυμιάματος,

6and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition of incense,

7and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the * breast-plate, and the full-length robe.καὶ λίθους Σαρδίου, καὶ λίθους εἰς τὴν γλυφὴν εἰς τὴν ἐπωμίδα, καὶ τὸν ποδήρη.

8And you shall make me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you.Καὶ ποιήεις μοι ἁγίασμα, καὶ ὀφθήσομαι ἐν ὑμῖν.

9And you shall make for me according to all things which I show you in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shall you make it.Καὶ ποιήσεις μοι κατὰ πάντα ὅσα σοι δεικνύω ἐν τῷ ὄρει, τὸ παράδειγμα τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ τὸ παράδειγμα πάντων τῶν σκευῶν αὐτῆς· οὕτω ποιήσεις.

10And you shall make the ark of testimony of incorruptible wood; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half, and the height of a cubit and a half.Καὶ ποιήσεις κιβωτὸν μαρτυρίου ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων, δύο πήχεων καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ μῆκος, καὶ πήχεος καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ πλάτος, καὶ πήχεως καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ ὕψος.

11And you shall gild it with pure gold, you shall gild it within and without; and you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about.Καὶ καταχρυσώσεις αὐτὴν χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ, ἔσωθεν καὶ ἔξωθεν χρυσώσεις αὐτήν· καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῇ κυμάτια χρυσᾶ στρεπτὰ κύκλῳ.

12And you shall cast for it four golden rings, and shall put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side.Καὶ ἐλάσεις αὐτῇ τέσσαρας δακτυλίους χρυσοῦς, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κλίτη· δύο δακτυλίους ἐπὶ τὸ κλίτος τὸ ἓν, καὶ δύο δακτυλίους ἐπὶ τὸ κλίτος τὸ δεύτερον.

13And you shall make staves of incorruptible wood, and shall gild them with gold.Ποιήσεις δὲ ἀναφορεῖς ξύλα ἄσηπτα, καὶ καταχρυσώσεις αὐτὰ χρυσίῳ·

14And you shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark with them.Καὶ εἰσάξεις τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς εἰς τοὺς δακτυλίους τοὺς ἐν τοῖς κλίτεσι τῆς κιβωτοῦ, αἴρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς.

15The staves shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark.Ἐν τοῖς δακτυλίοις τῆς κιβωτοῦ ἔσονται οἱ ἀναφορεῖς ἀκίνητοι.

16And you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.Καὶ ἐμβαλεῖς εἰς τὴν κιβωτὸν τὰ μαρτύρια, ἃ ἂν δῶ σοι.

17And you shall make a propitiatory, a lid of pure gold; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half.Καὶ ποιήσεις ἱλαστήριον ἐπίθεμα χρυσίου καθαροῦ, δύο πήχεων καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ μῆκος, καὶ πήχεως καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ πλάτος.

18And you shall make two cherubs graven in gold, and you shall put them on both sides of the propitiatory.Καὶ ποιήσεις δύο χερουβὶμ χρυσοτορευτὰ, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις αὐτὰ ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν κλιτῶν τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου.

19They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory; and you shall make the two cherubs on the two sides.Ποιηθήσονται χεροὺβ εἷς ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους τούτου, καὶ χεροὺβ εἷς ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ δευτέρου τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου· καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς δύο χερουβὶμ ἐπὶ τὰ δύο κλίτη.

20The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be toward each other, the faces of the cherubs shall be toward the propitiatory.Ἔσονται οἱ χερουβὶμ ἐκτείνοντες τὰς πτέρυγας ἐπάνωθεν, συσκιάζοντες ἐν ταῖς πτέρυξιν αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου, καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν εἰς ἄλληλα, εἰς τὸ ἱλαστήριον ἔσονται τὰ πρόσωπα τῶν χερουβίμ.

21And you shall set the propitiatory on the ark above, and you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὸ ἱλαστήριον ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν ἄνωθεν, καὶ εἰς τὴν κιβωτὸν ἐμβαλεῖς τὰ μαρτύρια, ἃ ἂν δῶ σοι.

22And I will make myself known to you from thence, and I will speak to you above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge you concerning the children of Israel.Καὶ γνωσθήσομαί σοι ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ λαλήσω σοι ἄνωθεν τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο χερουβὶμ, τῶν ὄντων ἐπὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν ἐντείλωμαί σοι πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.

23And you shall make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half.Καὶ ποιήσεις τράπεζαν χρυσῆν χρυσίου καθαροῦ, δύο πήχεων τὸ μῆκος, καὶ πήχεως τὸ εὖρος, καὶ πήχεως καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ ὕψος.

24And you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and you shall make for it a crown of an hand-breadth round about.Καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῇ στρεπτὰ κυμάτια χρυσᾶ κύκλῳ· καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῇ στεφάνην παλαιστοῦ κύκλῳ·

25And you shall make a twisted wreath for the crown round about.Καὶ ποιήσεις στρεπτὸν κυμάτιον τῇ στεφάνῃ κύκλῳ.

26And you shall make four golden rings; and you shall put the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the crown.Καὶ ποιήσεις τέσσαρας δακτυλίους χρυσοῦς, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τοὺς τέσσαρας δακτυλίους ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς ὑπὸ τὴν στεφάνην.

27And the rings shall be for bearings for the staves, that they may bear the table with them.Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δακτύλιοι εἰς θήκας τοῖς ἀναφορεῦσιν, ὥστε αἴρειν ἐν αὐτοῖς τὴν τράπεζαν.

28And you shall make the staves of incorruptible wood, and you shall gild them with pure gold; and the table shall be borne with them.Καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων, καὶ καταχρυσώσεις αὐτοὺς χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ, καὶ ἀρθήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡ τράπεζα.

29And you shall make its dishes and its censers, and its bowls, and its cups, with which you shall offer drink-offerings: of pure gold shall you make them.Καὶ ποιήσεις τὰ τρυβλία αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰς θυΐσκας, καὶ τὰ σπονδεῖα, καὶ τοὺς κυάθους, ἐν οἷς σπείσεις ἐν αὐτοῖς, ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ ποιήσεις αὐτά.

30And you shall set upon the table show bread before me continually.Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν ἄρτους ἐνωπίους ἐναντίον μου διαπαντός.

31And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold; you shall make the candlestick of graven work: its stem and its branches, and its bowls and its knops and its lilies shall be † of one piece.Καὶ ποιήσεις λυχνίαν ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ, τορευτὴν ποιήσεις τὴν λυχνίαν· ὁ καυλὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ καλαμίσκοι, καὶ οἱ κρατῆρες, καὶ οἱ σφαιρωτῆρες, καὶ τὰ κρίνα ἐξ αὐτῆς ἔσται.

32And six branches proceeding sideways, three branches of the candlestick from one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side.Ἓξ δὲ καλαμίσκοι ἐκπορευόμενοι ἐκ πλαγίων, τρεῖς καλαμίσκοι τῆς λυχνίας ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ ἑνὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ τρεῖς καλαμίσκοι τῆς λυχνίας ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ δευτέρου.

33And three bowls fashioned like almonds, on each branch a knop and a lily; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick,Καὶ τρεῖς κρατῆρες ἐκτετυπωμένοι καρυΐσκους· ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ καλαμίσκῳ σφαιρωτὴρ καὶ κρίνον· οὕτω τοῖς ἓξ καλαμίσκοις τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τῆς λυχνίας.

34and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds, in each branch knops and the flowers ‡ of the same.Καὶ ἐν τῇ λυχνίᾳ τέσσαρες κρατῆρες ἐκτετυπωμένοι καρυΐσκους· ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ καλαμίσκῳ σφαιρωτῆρες, καὶ τὰ κρίνα αὐτῆς.

35A knop under two branches out of it, and a knop under four branches out of it; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick; and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds.Ὁ σφαιρωτὴρ ὑπὸ τοὺς δύο καλαμίσκους ἐξ αὐτῆς· καὶ σφαιρωτὴρ ὑπὸ τοὺς τέσσαρας καλαμίσκους ἐξ αὐτῆς· οὕτω τοῖς ἓξ καλαμίσκοις τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τῆς λυχνίας· καὶ ἐν τῇ λυχνίᾳ τέσσαρες κρατῆρες ἐκτετυπωμένοι καρυΐσκους.

36Let the knops and the branches be of one piece, altogether graven of one piece of pure gold.Οἱ σφαιρωτῆρες καὶ οἱ καλαμίσκοι ἐξ αὐτῆς ἔστωσαν· ὅλη τορευτὴ ἐξ ἑνὸς χρυσίου καθαροῦ.

37And you shall make its seven lamps: and you shall set on it the lamps, and they shall shine from one front.Καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς λύχνους αὐτῆς ἑπτά· καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τοὺς λύχνους, καὶ φανοῦσιν ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς προσώπου.

38And you shall make its funnel and its snuff-dishes of pure gold.Καὶ τὸν ἐπαρυστῆρα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ ὑποθέματα αὐτῆς ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ ποιήσεις.

39All these articles shall be a talent of pure gold.Πάντα τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα τάλαντον χρυσίου καθαροῦ.

40See, you shall make them ✡ according to the pattern showed you in the mount.Ὅρα, ποιήσεις κατὰ τὸν τύπον τὸν δεδειγμένον σοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει.
