1 Harás un altar de madera dura para quemar incienso.
1 “You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.
2 Será cuadrado, de un codo de largo, un codo de ancho y dos codos de alto. Sus cuernos formarán una sola pieza con él.
2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
3 Cubrirás de oro puro la parte superior, los lados y los cuernos, y harás un borde de oro alrededor.
3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.
4 Debajo del borde harás dos anillos de oro, uno a cada lado, para sostener las varas con las que se transportará.
4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.
5 Harás las varas de madera dura y las cubrirás de oro.
5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 Pondrás el altar delante del velo que está frente al arca del testimonio, delante de la cubierta que está sobre el testimonio, donde me encontraré contigo.
6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the covenant, before the mercy seat that is over the covenant, where I will meet with you.
7 Aarón quemará sobre él incienso aromático cada mañana cuando prepare las lámparas.
7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 También quemará incienso al caer la tarde cuando encienda las lámparas. Será incienso continuo delante del Señor por todas sus generaciones.
8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.
9 No ofrecerán sobre este altar ningún incienso que no haya sido autorizado, ni holocaustos, ni ofrendas de harina, ni ofrendas líquidas.
9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.
10 Una vez al año Aarón hará expiación sobre los cuernos del altar con la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado. Hará esto una vez al año por todas sus generaciones. Este altar es santísimo para el Señor.
10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh.”
11 El Señor dijo a Moisés:
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
12 «Cuando hagas un censo de los hijos de Israel, cada hombre contado dará al Señor un pago por su vida, para que no venga ninguna plaga sobre ellos cuando sean contados.
12 “When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are counted among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh when you count them, that there be no plague among them when you count them.
13 Cada uno de los contados dará medio siclo, según el siclo del santuario, que vale veinte geras. Este medio siclo será una ofrenda al Señor.
13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are counted, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs); half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.
14 Todo hombre de veinte años o más que sea contado dará esta ofrenda al Señor.
14 Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.
15 El rico no dará más ni el pobre dará menos de medio siclo cuando presenten esta ofrenda al Señor como pago por sus vidas.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.
16 Recibirás este dinero de los hijos de Israel y lo usarás para el servicio de la Tienda de reunión. Así servirá como recordatorio de los hijos de Israel delante del Señor y como pago por sus vidas».
16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.”
17 El Señor dijo a Moisés:
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18 «Harás una fuente de bronce con su base de bronce para lavarse. La pondrás entre la Tienda de reunión y el altar, y la llenarás de agua.
18 “You shall also make a basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19 Aarón y sus hijos se lavarán allí las manos y los pies.
19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.
20 Cuando entren en la Tienda de reunión, se lavarán con agua para que no mueran. También lo harán cuando se acerquen al altar para servir y presentar una ofrenda hecha por fuego al Señor.
20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they don’t die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
21 Se lavarán las manos y los pies para que no mueran. Esta será una orden permanente para Aarón y sus descendientes por todas sus generaciones».
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. This shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”
22 El Señor dijo a Moisés:
22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23 «Toma las mejores especias: quinientos siclos de mirra líquida, la mitad de esa cantidad, es decir, doscientos cincuenta siclos de canela aromática, y doscientos cincuenta siclos de cálamo aromático;
23 “Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
24 quinientos siclos de casia, según el siclo del santuario, y un hin de aceite de oliva.
24 and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.
25 Con estos ingredientes prepararás un aceite santo para la unción, mezclado cuidadosamente como lo hace un perfumista.
25 You shall make it into a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 Ungirás con este aceite la Tienda de reunión y el arca del testimonio;
26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant,
27 la mesa y todos sus utensilios; el candelabro y sus utensilios; el altar del incienso;
27 the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense,
28 el altar de los holocaustos y todos sus utensilios; y la fuente con su base.
28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.
29 Los consagrarás y serán santísimos. Todo lo que los toque quedará santo.
29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30 También ungirás a Aarón y a sus hijos y los consagrarás para que me sirvan como sacerdotes.
30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
31 Dirás a los hijos de Israel: “Este será mi aceite santo para la unción por todas sus generaciones.
31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
32 No se usará sobre el cuerpo de cualquier persona ni harán otro igual con la misma mezcla. Es santo, y deberán tratarlo como santo.
32 It shall not be poured on man’s flesh, and do not make any like it, according to its composition. It is holy. It shall be holy to you.
33 Cualquiera que prepare un aceite igual o lo use sobre alguien que no sea sacerdote será separado de su pueblo”».
33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”
34 El Señor dijo a Moisés: «Toma cantidades iguales de estas especias aromáticas: estacte, uña aromática, gálbano e incienso puro.
34 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, onycha, and galbanum: sweet spices with pure frankincense. There shall be an equal weight of each.
35 Con ellas harás un incienso aromático, preparado por un perfumista, mezclado con sal, puro y santo.
35 You shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36 Molerás parte de él hasta hacerlo muy fino y lo pondrás delante del arca en la Tienda de reunión, donde me encontraré contigo. Será santísimo para ustedes.
36 You shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the covenant in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.
37 No harán para uso personal otro incienso con esta misma mezcla. Lo considerarán santo para el Señor.
37 You shall not make this incense, according to its composition, for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.
38 Cualquiera que haga uno igual para disfrutar de su aroma será separado de su pueblo».
38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Perhaps it escaped the notice of the Saviour, or, while their Mother was sleeping, the Demiurge of himself gave instructions as to its weight; and on this account it is out of harmony with their Pleroma, consisting, as it did, of five hundred shekels of myrrh, five hundred of cassia, two hundred and fifty of cinnamon, two hundred and fifty …
… of harmony with their Pleroma, consisting, as it did, of five hundred shekels of myrrh, five hundred of cassia, two hundred and fifty of cinnamon, two hundred and fifty of calamus, and oil in addition, so that it was composed of five ingredients.
