¹

And Beseleel wrought, and Eliab and every one wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and knowledge, to understand to do all the works according to the holy offices, according to all things which the Lord appointed.

¹

ΚΑΙ ἐποίησε Βεσελεήλ καὶ ᾿Ελιὰβ καὶ πᾶς σοφὸς τῇ διανοίᾳ, ᾧ ἐδόθη σοφία καὶ ἐπιστήμη ἐν αὐτοῖς συνιέναι ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ ἔργα κατὰ τὰ ἅγια καθήκοντα, κατὰ πάντα ὅσα συνέταξε Κύριος.

²

And Moses called Beseleel and Eliab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God gave knowledge in their heart, and all who were freely willing to come forward to the works, to perform them.

²

καὶ ἐκάλεσε Μωυσῆς Βεσελεὴλ καὶ ᾿Ελιὰβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἔχοντας τὴν σοφίαν, ᾧ ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς ἐπιστήμην ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἑκουσίως βουλομένους προσπορεύεσθαι πρὸς τὰ ἔργα, ὥστε συντελεῖν αὐτά,

³

And they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary to do them; and they continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in the morning.

³

καὶ ἔλαβον παρὰ Μωυσῆ πάντα τὰ ἀφαιρέματα, ἃ ἤνεγκαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ἁγίου ποιεῖν αὐτά, καὶ αὐτοὶ προσεδέχοντο ἔτι τὰ προσφερόμενα παρὰ τῶν φερόντων τὸ πρωΐ.

⁴

And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they wrought.

⁴

καὶ παρεγίνοντο πάντες οἱ σοφοὶ οἱ ποιοῦντες τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ἁγίου, ἕκαστος κατὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ ἔργον, ὃ εἰργάζοντο αὐτοί,

⁵

And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance too great in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed them to do.

⁵

καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ὅτι πλῆθος φέρει ὁ λαὸς κατὰ τὰ ἔργα, ὅσα συνέταξε Κύριος ποιῆσαι.

⁶

And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labour for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more.

⁶

καὶ προσέταξε Μωυσῆς καὶ ἐκήρυξεν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ λέγων· ἀνὴρ καὶ γυνὴ μηκέτι ἐργαζέσθωσαν εἰς τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τοῦ ἁγίου· καὶ ἐκωλύθη ὁ λαὸς ἔτι προσφέρειν.

⁷

And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides.

⁷

καὶ τὰ ἔργα ἦν αὐτοῖς ἱκανὰ εἰς τὴν κατασκευὴν ποιῆσαι, καὶ προσκατέλιπον.

⁸

And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

⁸

Καὶ ἐποίησε πᾶς σοφὸς ἐν τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις (Κεφ. ΛΘ´

⁹

And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.

¹

) τὰς στολὰς τῶν ἁγίων, αἵ εἰσιν ᾿Ααρὼν τῷ ἱερεῖ, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.

¹⁰

And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work;

⁹

καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν ἐπωμίδα ἐκ χρυσίου καὶ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου νενησμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης.

¹¹

shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another.

¹⁰

καὶ ἐτμήθη τὰ πέταλα τοῦ χρυσίου τρίχες, ὥστε συνυφᾶναι σὺν τῇ ὑακίνθῳ καὶ τῇ πορφύρᾳ καὶ σὺν τῷ κοκκίνῳ τῷ διανενησμένῳ καὶ τῇ βύσσῳ τῇ κεκλωσμένῃ, ἔργον ὑφαντὸν ἐποίησαν αὐτό·

¹²

They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses;

¹¹

ἐπωμίδας συνεχούσας ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν μερῶν, ἔργον ὑφαντὸν εἰς ἄλληλα συμπεπλεγμένον καθ᾿ ἑαυτὸ

¹³

and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel;

¹²

ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησαν κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ ποίησιν ἐκ χρυσίου καὶ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου διανενησμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.

¹⁴

and he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses.

¹³

καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀμφοτέρους τοὺς λίθους τῆς σμαράγδου συμπεπορπημένους καὶ περισεσιαλωμένους χρυσίῳ, γεγλυμμένους καὶ ἐκκεκολαμμένους ἐγκόλαμμα σφραγῖδος ἐκ τῶν ὀνομάτων τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ·

¹⁵

And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.

¹⁴

καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους τῆς ἐπωμίδος, λίθους μνημοσύνου τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.

¹⁶

They made the oracle square and double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span,—double.

¹⁵

Καὶ ἐποίησαν λογεῖον, ἔργον ὑφαντὸν ποικιλίᾳ κατὰ τὸ ἔργον τῆς ἐπωμίδος ἐκ χρυσίου καὶ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου διανενησμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης·

¹⁷

And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald;

¹⁶

τετράγωνον διπλοῦν ἐποίησαν τὸ λογεῖον, σπιθαμῆς τὸ μῆκος καὶ σπιθαμῆς τὸ εὖρος, διπλοῦν.

¹⁸

and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper;

¹⁷

καὶ συνυφάνθη ἐν αὐτῷ ὕφασμα κατάλιθον τετράστιχον· στίχος λίθων, σάρδιον καὶ τοπάζιον καὶ σμάραγδος, ὁ στίχος ὁ εἷς·

¹⁹

and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst;

¹⁸

καὶ ὁ στίχος ὁ δεύτερος, ἄνθραξ καὶ σάπφειρος καὶ ἴασπις·

²⁰

and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold.

¹⁹

καὶ ὁ στίχος ὁ τρίτος λιγύριον καὶ ἀχάτης καὶ ἀμέθυστος·

²¹

And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes.

²⁰

καὶ ὁ στίχος ὁ τέταρτος χρυσόλιθος καὶ βηρύλλιον καὶ ὀνύχιον· περικεκυκλωμένα χρυσίῳ καὶ συνδεδεμένα χρυσίῳ.

²²

And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold,

²¹

καὶ οἱ λίθοι ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν ὀνομάτων τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ δώδεκα ἐκ τῶν ὀνομάτων αὐτῶν, ἐγγεγλυμμένα εἰς σφραγῖδας, ἕκαστος ἐκ τοῦ ἑαυτοῦ ὀνόματος, εἰς τὰς δώδεκα φυλάς.

²³

and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings. And they put the two golden rings on both the upper corners of the oracle;

²²

καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐπὶ τὸ λογεῖον κρωσσοὺς συμπεπλεγμένους, ἔργον ἐμπλοκίου ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ·

²⁴

and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle,

²³

καὶ ἐποίησαν δύο ἀσπιδίσκας χρυσᾶς καὶ δύο δακτυλίους χρυσοῦς

²⁵

and the two wreaths into the two couplings. And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite each other in front.

²⁴

καὶ ἐπέθηκαν τοὺς δύο δακτυλίους τοὺς χρυσοῦς ἐπ᾿ ἀμφοτέρας τὰς ἀρχάς τοῦ λογείου·

²⁶

And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within.

²⁵

καὶ ἐπέθηκαν τὰ ἐμπλόκια ἐκ χρυσίου ἐπὶ τοὺς δακτυλίους ἐπ᾿ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν μερῶν τοῦ λογείου καὶ εἰς τὰς δύο συμβολάς τὰ δύο ἐμπλόκια

²⁷

And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod.

²⁶

καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπὶ τὰς δύο ἀσπιδίσκας καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους τῆς ἐπωμίδος ἐξεναντίας κατὰ πρόσωπον.

²⁸

And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with a string of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.

²⁷

καὶ ἐποίησαν δύο δακτυλίους χρυσοῦς καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπὶ τὰ δύο πτερύγια ἐπ᾿ ἄκρου τοῦ λογείου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ὀπισθίου τῆς ἐπωμίδος ἔσωθεν.

²⁹

And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue.

²⁸

καὶ ἐποίησαν δύο δακτυλίους χρυσοῦς καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπ᾿ ἀμφοτέρους τοὺς ὤμους τῆς ἐπωμίδος κάτωθεν αὐτοῦ κατὰ πρόσωπον κατὰ τὴν συμβολὴν ἄνωθεν τῆς συνυφῆς τῆς ἐπωμίδος.

³⁰

And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be rent.

²⁹

καὶ συνέσφιγξε τὸ λογεῖον ἀπὸ τῶν δακτυλίων τῶν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς δακτυλίους τῆς ἐπωμίδος, συνεχομένους ἐκ τῆς ὑακίνθου, συμπεπλεγμένους εἰς τὸ ὕφασμα τῆς ἐπωμίδος, ἵνα μὴ χαλᾶται τὸ λογεῖον ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπωμίδος, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.

³¹

And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.

³⁰

Καὶ ἐποίησαν τὸν ὑποδύτην ὑπὸ τὴν ἐπωμίδα, ἔργον ὑφαντόν, ὅλον ὑακίνθινον·

³²

And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates:

³¹

τὸ δὲ περιστόμιον τοῦ ὑποδύτου ἐν τῷ μέσῳ διϋφασμένον συμπλεκτόν, ὤαν ἔχον κύκλῳ τὸ περιστόμιον ἀδιάλυτον.

³³

a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses.

³²

καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ λώματος τοῦ ὑποδύτου κάτωθεν ὡς ἐξανθούσης ρόας ροΐσκους, ἐξ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου νενησμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης

³⁴

And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons,

³³

καὶ ἐποίησαν κώδωνας χρυσοῦς καὶ ἐπέθηκαν τοὺς κώδωνας ἐπὶ τὸ λῶμα τοῦ ὑποδύτου κύκλῳ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ροΐσκων·

³⁵

and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined;

³⁴

κώδων χρυσοῦς καὶ ροΐσκος ἐπὶ τοῦ λώματος τοῦ ὑποδύτου κύκλῳ εἰς τὸ λειτουργεῖν, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.

³⁶

and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses.

³⁵

Καὶ ἐποίησαν χιτῶνας βυσσίνους, ἔργον ὑφαντόν, ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ

³⁷

And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold; and he wrote upon it graven letters as of a seal, Holiness to the Lord.

³⁶

καὶ τὰς κιδάρεις ἐκ βύσσου καὶ τὴν μίτραν ἐκ βύσσου καὶ τὰ περισκελῆ ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης

³⁸

And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.

³⁷

καὶ τὰς ζώνας αὐτῶν ἐκ βύσσου καὶ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου νενησμένου, ἔργον ποικιλτοῦ, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
