Exodus 39
1All the gold that was employed for the works according to all the fabrication of the holy things, was of the gold of the * offerings, twenty-nine talents, and † seven hundred and twenty shekels according to the holy shekel.Πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον, ὃ κατειργάσθη εἰς τὰ ἔργα κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ἐργασίαν τῶν ἁγίων, ἐγένετο χρυσίου τοῦ τῆς ἀπαρχῆς, ἐννέα καὶ εἴκοσι τάλαντα, καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι εἴκοσι σίκλοι κατὰ τὸν σίκλον τὸν ἅγιον·
2And the offering of silver from the men that were numbered of the congregation one hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, one drachm apiece, even the half shekel, according to the holy shekel.Καὶ ἀργυρίου ἀφαίρεμα παρὰ τῶν ἐπεσκεμμένων ἀνδρῶν τῆς συναγωγῆς ἑκατὸν τάλαντα, καὶ χίλιοι ἑπτακόσιοι ἑβδομηκονταπέντε σίκλοι· δραχμὴ μία τῇ κεφαλῇ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ σίκλου, κατὰ τὸν σίκλον τὸν ἅγιον·
3Every one that passed the survey from twenty years old and upwards to the number of six hundred thousand, and three thousand five hundred and fifty.Πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω εἰς τὰς ἑξήκοντα μυριάδας, καὶ τρισχίλιοι πεντακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα.
4And the hundred talents of silver went to the casting of the hundred capitals of the tabernacle, and to the capitals of the veil;Καὶ ἐγενήθη τὰ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα τοῦ ἀργυρίου εἰς τὴν χώνευσιν τῶν ἑκατὸν κεφαλίδων τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ εἰς τὰς κεφαλίδας τοῦ καταπετάσματος,
5one hundred capitals to the hundred talents, a talent to a chapiter.ἑκατὸν κεφαλίδες εἰς τὰ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα, τάλαντον τῇ κεφαλίδι·
6And the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he formed into hooks for the pillars, and he gilt their capitals and adorned them.Καὶ τοὺς χιλίους ἑπτακοσίους ἑβδομηκοντα πέντε σίκλους ἐποίησεν εἰς τὰς ἀγκύλας τοῖς στύλοις· καὶ κατεχρύσωσε τὰς κεφαλίδας αὐτῶν, καὶ κατεκόσμησεν αὐτούς.
7And the brass of the offering was ‡ seventy talents, and § a thousand five hundred shekels;Καὶ ὁ χαλκὸς τοῦ ἀφαιρέματος ἑβδομήκοντα τάλαντα, καὶ χίλιοι πεντακόσιοι σίκλοι·
8and they made of it the bases of the door of the tabernacle of witness,Καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐξ αὐτον τὰς βάσεις τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου,
9and the bases of the court round about, and the bases of the gate of the court, and the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court round about;καὶ τὰς βάσεις τῆς αὐλῆς κύκλῳ, καὶ τὰς βάσεις τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς, καὶ τοὺς πασσάλους τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ τοὺς πασσάλους τῆς αὐλῆς κύκλῳ,
10and the brazen appendage of the altar, and all the vessels of the altar, and all the instruments of the tabernacle of witness.καὶ τὸ παράθεμα τὸ χαλκοῦν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐργαλεῖα τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου·
11And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησαν·
12And of the gold that remained of the offering they made vessels to minister with before the Lord.Τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν χρυσίον τοῦ ἀφαιρέματος ἐποίησαν σκεύη εἰς τὸ λειτουργεῖν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἔναντι Κυρίου·
13And the blue that was left, and the purple, and the scarlet they made into garments of ministry for Aaron, so that he should minister with them in the sanctuary;Καὶ τὴν καταλειφθεῖσαν ὑάκινθον, καὶ πορφύραν, καὶ τὸ κόκκινον ἐποίησαν στολὰς λειτουργικὰς Ἀαρών, ὥστε λειτουργεῖν ἐν αὐταῖς ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ·
14and they brought the garments to Moses, and the tabernacle, and its furniture, its bases and its bars and the posts;Καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὰς στολὰς πρὸς Μωυσῆν, καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν, καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς, τὰς βάσεις καὶ τοὺς μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς στύλους·
15and the ark of the covenant, and its bearers, and the altar and all its furniture.καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ.
16And they made the anointing oil, and the incense of composition, and the pure candlestick,Καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τῆς χρίσεως, καὶ τὸ θυμίαμα τῆς συνθέσεως, καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν τὴν καθαρὰν,
17and its lamps, lamps for burning, and oil for the light,καὶ τοὺς λύχνους αὐτῆς, λύχνους τῆς καύσεως, καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τοῦ φωτός·
18and the table of show bread, and all its furniture, and the show bread upon it,Καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τῆς προθέσεως, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς· καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τοὺς προκειμένους·
19and the garments of the sanctuary which belong to Aaron, and the garments of his sons, for the priestly ministry;Καὶ τὰς στολὰς τοῦ ἁγίου, αἵ εἰσιν Ἀαρών, καὶ τὰς στολὰς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν ἱερατείαν·
20and the curtains of the court, and the posts, and the veil of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court,Καὶ τὰ ἱστία τῆς αὐλῆς, καὶ τοὺς στύλους· καὶ τὸ καταπέτασμα τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς·
21and all the vessels of the tabernacle and all its instruments: and the skins, even rams' skins dyed red, and the blue coverings, and the coverings of the other things, and the pins, and all the instruments for the works of the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐργαλεῖα αὐτῆς· καὶ τὰς διφθέρας δέρματα κριῶν ἠρυθροδανωμένα, καὶ τὰ καλύμματα ὑακίνθινα, καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν τὰ ἐπικαλύμματα· καὶ τοὺς πασσάλους, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐργαλεῖα τὰ εἰς τὰ ἔργα τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου·
22Whatsoever things the Lord appointed Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the ** furniture.Ὃσα συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευήν·
23And Moses saw all the works; and they had done them all as the Lord commanded Moses, so had they made them; and Moses blessed them.Καὶ εἶδε Μωυσῆς πάντα τὰ ἔργα, καὶ ἦσαν πεποιηκότες αὐτὰ ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησαν αὐτὰ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς Μωυσῆς.
