1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 2 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου νουμηνίᾳ στήσεις τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου 3 καὶ θήσεις τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ σκεπάσεις τὴν κιβωτὸν τῷ καταπετάσματι 4 καὶ εἰσοίσεις τὴν τράπεζαν καὶ προθήσεις τὴν πρόθεσιν αὐτῆς καὶ εἰσοίσεις τὴν λυχνίαν καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τοὺς λύχνους αὐτῆς 5 καὶ θήσεις τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν εἰς τὸ θυμιᾶν ἐναντίον τῆς κιβωτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσεις κάλυμμα καταπετάσματος ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου 6 καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῶν καρπωμάτων θήσεις παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου 7 8 καὶ περιθήσεις τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῆς ἁγιάσεις κύκλῳ 9 καὶ λήμψῃ τὸ ἔλαιον τοῦ χρίσματος καὶ χρίσεις τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτὴν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ ἔσται ἁγία 10 καὶ χρίσεις τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῶν καρπωμάτων καὶ πάντα αὐτοῦ τὰ σκεύη καὶ ἁγιάσεις τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἔσται τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων 11 12 καὶ προσάξεις Ααρων καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ λούσεις αὐτοὺς ὕδατι 13 καὶ ἐνδύσεις Ααρων τὰς στολὰς τὰς ἁγίας καὶ χρίσεις αὐτὸν καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτόν καὶ ἱερατεύσει μοι

1 And now the Lord said to Moses, 2 When the first day of the first month comes, set up the tabernacle that is to bear record of me, 3 and put the ark in it, and screen the ark with the veil. 4 Then bring in the table, and set out due offerings there; the lamp-stand, too, must be in its place, with lamps on it, 5 and the golden altar upon which incense is burnt, there before the ark that bears record of me. Stretch out the hanging at the entrance to the tabernacle, 6 and set down before it the altar for burnt-sacrifice, 7 with the basin there, full of water, between altar and tabernacle; 8 and screen off the court and its entrance with the hangings. 9 Then bring out the anointing-oil, and hallow by unction with it the tabernacle and its appurtenances; 10 the altar for burnt-sacrifice and all that belongs to it, 11 and the washing-basin with its stand; all must be consecrated with the anointing-oil, to be holiness itself. 12 Bring Aaron, too, and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle that bears record of me, and, when they have washed, 13 clothe them with the sacred vestments in which they are to minister to me, and anoint them to be my priests for ever.

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 2 Mense primo, prima die mensis, eriges tabernaculum testimonii, 3 et pones in eo arcam, dimittesque ante illam velum: 4 et illata mensa, pones super eam quæ rite præcepta sunt. Candelabrum stabit cum lucernis suis, 5 et altare aureum, in quo adoletur incensum, coram arca testimonii. Tentorium in introitu tabernaculi pones, 6 et ante illud altare holocausti: 7 labrum inter altare et tabernaculum, quod implebis aqua. 8 Circumdabisque atrium tentoriis, et ingressum ejus. 9 Et assumpto unctionis oleo unges tabernaculum cum vasis suis, ut sanctificentur: 10 altare holocausti et omnia vasa ejus, 11 labrum cum basi sua: omnia unctionis oleo consecrabis, ut sint Sancta sanctorum. 12 Applicabisque Aaron et filios ejus ad fores tabernaculi testimonii, et lotos aqua 13 indues sanctis vestibus, ut ministrent mihi, et unctio eorum in sacerdotium sempiternum proficiat.

14 καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ προσάξεις καὶ ἐνδύσεις αὐτοὺς χιτῶνας 15 καὶ ἀλείψεις αὐτούς ὃν τρόπον ἤλειψας τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν καὶ ἱερατεύσουσίν μοι καὶ ἔσται ὥστε εἶναι αὐτοῖς χρῖσμα ἱερατείας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν 16 καὶ ἐποίησεν Μωυσῆς πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ κύριος οὕτως ἐποίησεν 17 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει ἐκπορευομένων αὐτῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου νουμηνίᾳ ἐστάθη ἡ σκηνή 18 καὶ ἔστησεν Μωυσῆς τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὰς κεφαλίδας καὶ διενέβαλεν τοὺς μοχλοὺς καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς στύλους 19 καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὰς αὐλαίας ἐπὶ τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὸ κατακάλυμμα τῆς σκηνῆς ἐ{P'} αὐτῆς ἄνωθεν καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ 20 καὶ λαβὼν τὰ μαρτύρια ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ ὑπέθηκεν τοὺς διωστῆρας ὑπὸ τὴν κιβωτὸν 21 καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τὴν κιβωτὸν εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὸ κατακάλυμμα τοῦ καταπετάσματος καὶ ἐσκέπασεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου ὃν τρόπον συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ 22 καὶ ἔθηκεν τὴν τράπεζαν εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐπὶ τὸ κλίτος τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου τὸ πρὸς βορρᾶν ἔξωθεν τοῦ καταπετάσματος τῆς σκηνῆς 23 καὶ προέθηκεν ἐ{P'} αὐτῆς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως ἔναντι κυρίου ὃν τρόπον συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ 24 καὶ ἔθηκεν τὴν λυχνίαν εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου εἰς τὸ κλίτος τῆς σκηνῆς τὸ πρὸς νότον 25 καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τοὺς λύχνους αὐτῆς ἔναντι κυρίου ὃν τρόπον συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ

14 Moses did as the Lord bade him; 15 and on the first day of the first month, in this second year of wandering, the tabernacle was set up. 16 To set it up, Moses must first dispose the frames, with their sockets and poles, and erect the posts; 17 then he spread the tapestry over the tabernacle, and covered it, as the Lord bade him, with the canopy. 18 He put the tablets of the law in the ark, and passed the poles through at the base of it, and fixed the throne above it. 19 Then, bringing the ark into the tabernacle, he spread the veil in front of it, in fulfilment of the Lord’s command. 20 In front of the veil, at the northern end of the tabernacle that bore record of the Lord, he put down the table, 21 and on it, as the Lord bade him, he set out the consecrated loaves. 22 On the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table, he set up the lamp-stand, 23 with all its lamps in position as the Lord bade him. 24 And before the veil, still under the tabernacle roof, he placed the golden altar, 25 on which, at the Lord’s command, he burnt incense made from spices.

14 Fecitque Moyses omnia quæ præceperat Dominus. 15 Igitur mense primo anni secundi, prima die mensis, collocatum est tabernaculum. 16 Erexitque Moyses illud, et posuit tabulas ac bases et vectes, statuitque columnas, 17 et expandit tectum super tabernaculum, imposito desuper operimento, sicut Dominus imperaverat. 18 Posuit et testimonium in arca, subditis infra vectibus, et oraculum desuper. 19 Cumque intulisset arcam in tabernaculum, appendit ante eam velum ut expleret Domini jussionem. 20 Posuit et mensam in tabernaculo testimonii ad plagam septentrionalem extra velum, 21 ordinatis coram propositionis panibus, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi. 22 Posuit et candelabrum in tabernaculo testimonii e regione mensæ in parte australi, 23 locatis per ordinem lucernis, juxta præceptum Domini. 24 Posuit et altare aureum sub tecto testimonii contra velum, 25 et adolevit super eo incensum aromatum, sicut jusserat Dominus Moysi.

26 καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἀπέναντι τοῦ καταπετάσματος 27 καὶ ἐθυμίασεν ἐ{P'} αὐτοῦ τὸ θυμίαμα τῆς συνθέσεως καθάπερ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ 28 29 καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῶν καρπωμάτων ἔθηκεν παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς 30 31 32 33 καὶ ἔστησεν τὴν αὐλὴν κύκλῳ τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ συνετέλεσεν Μωυσῆς πάντα τὰ ἔργα 34 καὶ ἐκάλυψεν ἡ νεφέλη τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ δόξης κυρίου ἐπλήσθη ἡ σκηνή 35 καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθη Μωυσῆς εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου ὅτι ἐπεσκίαζεν ἐ{P'} αὐτὴν ἡ νεφέλη καὶ δόξης κυρίου ἐπλήσθη ἡ σκηνή 36 ἡνίκα {D'} ἂν ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς ἀνεζεύγνυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ σὺν τῇ ἀπαρτίᾳ αὐτῶν εἰ δὲ μὴ ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη οὐκ ἀνεζεύγνυσαν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη νεφέλη γὰρ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς ἡμέρας καὶ πῦρ ἦν ἐ{P'} αὐτῆς νυκτὸς ἐναντίον παντὸς Ισραηλ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀναζυγαῖς αὐτῶν

26 And now he must hang the screen at the entrance of the tabernacle, 27 and by the door of the tabernacle must stand the altar for burnt-sacrifice, on which he offered the victims and sacrificial gifts which the Lord had prescribed. 28 He put the basin, too, between the tabernacle and the altar, filling it with water, 29 so that Moses and Aaron and Aaron’s sons could wash their hands and feet 30 whenever they would enter the tabernacle that bore record of the covenant, or approach the altar, as the Lord had commanded him. 31 He also set up the court round the tabernacle and the altar, and hung the screen at the entrance to it.

When all was done, 32 a cloud covered the tabernacle, and it was filled with the brightness of the Lord’s presence; 33 nor could Moses enter the tabernacle that bore record of the covenant, so thick the cloud that spread all about it, so radiant was the Lord’s majesty; all was wrapped in cloud. 34 Whenever the cloud lifted from the tabernacle, the Israelites would muster and set out on the march, 35 and while it hung there, they halted. 36 The divine cloud by day, the divine fire by night, still brooded over the tabernacle for all Israel to see it, wherever they halted on their journey.

26 Posuit et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi testimonii, 27 et altare holocausti in vestibulo testimonii, offerens in eo holocaustum, et sacrificia, ut Dominus imperaverat. 28 Labrum quoque statuit inter tabernaculum testimonii et altare, implens illud aqua. 29 Laveruntque Moyses et Aaron ac filii ejus manus suas et pedes, 30 cum ingrederentur tectum fœderis, et accederent ad altare, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi. 31 Erexit et atrium per gyrum tabernaculi et altaris, ducto in introitu ejus tentorio.

Postquam omnia perfecta sunt, 32 operuit nubes tabernaculum testimonii, et gloria Domini implevit illud. 33 Nec poterat Moyses ingredi tectum fœderis, nube operiente omnia, et majestate Domini coruscante, quia cuncta nubes operuerat. 34 Siquando nubes tabernaculum deserebat, proficiscebantur filii Israël per turmas suas: 35 si pendebat desuper, manebant in eodem loco. 36 Nubes quippe Domini incubabat per diem tabernaculo, et ignis in nocte, videntibus cunctis populis Israël per cunctas mansiones suas.
