1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1 Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés, diciendo:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, so that they may take the first-fruits to me. You shall accept these from every man who offers of his own accord.
2 Di á los hijos de Israel que tomen para mí ofrenda: de todo varón que la diere de su voluntad, de corazón, tomaréis mi ofrenda.
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering.
3 Now these are the things that you must accept: Gold, and silver, and brass,
3 Y esta es la ofrenda que tomaréis de ellos: Oro, y plata, y cobre,
3 This is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, bronze,

5 and the skins of rams, dyed red, and skins of violet, and setim wood,
5 Y cueros de carneros teñidos de rojo, y cueros de tejones, y madera de Sittim;
5 rams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,
6 oil to prepare lights, aromatics as ointments and sweet-smelling incense,
6 Aceite para la luminaria, especias para el aceite de la unción, y para el sahumerio aromático;
6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
7 onyx stones and gems to adorn the ephod as well as the breastplate.
7 Piedras de onix, y piedras de engastes, para el ephod, y para el racional.

8 And they shall make a sanctuary for me, and I will live in their midst.
8 Y hacerme han un santuario, y yo habitaré entre ellos.
8 Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9 According to exact likeness of the tabernacle, and all of the vessels for its rituals, that I will reveal to you, so shall you make it.
9 Conforme á todo lo que yo te mostrare, el diseño del tabernáculo, y el diseño de todos sus vasos, así lo haréis.
9 According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it.
10 Join together an ark of setim wood, whose length shall hold two and one half cubits; the width, one and one half cubits; the height, likewise, one and one half cubits.

12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four feet. Two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
13 Likewise, you shall make bars of setim wood and cover them with gold.
13 Y harás unas varas de madera de Sittim, las cuales cubrirás de oro:

19 Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. You shall make the cherubim on its two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.
20 And let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings and covering the oracle, and let them look out toward one another, their faces being turned toward the propitiatory, with which the ark is to be covered,
20 Y los querubines extenderán por encima las alas, cubriendo con sus alas la cubierta: sus caras la una enfrente de la otra, mirando á la cubierta las caras de los querubines.
20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the covenant that I will give you.
22 From there, I will warn you and speak to you, above the propitiatory and from the middle of the two Cherubim, which will be over the ark of the testimony, about everything that I will command of the sons of Israel through you.
22 Y de allí me declararé á ti, y hablaré contigo de sobre la cubierta, de entre los dos querubines que están sobre el arca del testimonio, todo lo que yo te mandaré para los hijos de Israel.
22 There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the covenant, all that I command you for the children of Israel.
23 You shall also make a table of setim wood, having two cubits of length, and one cubit in width, and one cubit and one half cubits in height.

23 “You shall make a table of acacia wood. Its length shall be two cubits, and its width a cubit, and its height one and a half cubits.

24 Y la cubrirás de oro puro, y le has de hacer una cornisa de oro alrededor.
24 You shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.
25 and for the lip itself an engraved crown, four fingers high, and above it another little gold crown.
25 Hacerle has también una moldura alrededor, del ancho de una mano, á la cual moldura harás una cornisa de oro en circunferencia.
25 You shall make a rim of a hand width around it. You shall make a golden molding on its rim around it.
26 Likewise, you shall prepare four gold rings and set them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.
26 Y le harás cuatro anillos de oro, los cuales pondrás á las cuatro esquinas que corresponden á sus cuatro pies.
26 You shall make four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.
27 Under the crown, there shall be gold rings, so that the bars may be put through them and the table may be carried.
27 Los anillos estarán antes de la moldura, por lugares de las varas, para llevar la mesa.
27 The rings shall be close to the rim, for places for the poles to carry the table.
28 Likewise, the bars themselves you shall make of setim wood, and surround them with gold, to lift up the table.
28 Y harás las varas de madera de Sittim, y las cubrirás de oro, y con ellas será llevada la mesa.
28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.
29 You shall also prepare small cups, as well as bowls, censers, and measuring cups, with which the libations shall be offered, out of the purest gold.
29 Harás también sus platos, y sus cucharas, y sus cubiertas, y sus tazones, con que se libará: de oro fino los harás.
29 You shall make its dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls with which to pour out offerings. You shall make them of pure gold.

30 Y pondrás sobre la mesa el pan de la proposición delante de mí continuamente.
30 You shall set bread of the presence on the table before me always.
31 You shall also make a lampstand, formed from the finest gold, along with its stem and arms, its bowl and little spheres, as well as the lilies proceeding from it.
31 Harás además un candelero de oro puro; labrado á martillo se hará el candelero: su pie, y su caña, sus copas, sus manzanas, y sus flores, serán de lo mismo:
31 “You shall make a lamp stand of pure gold. The lamp stand shall be made of hammered work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it.
32 Six branches shall go out from the sides: three out of one side and three out of the other.
32 Y saldrán seis brazos de sus lados: tres brazos del candelero del un lado suyo, y tres brazos del candelero del otro su lado:
32 There shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side;
33 Three bowls, the size of nuts, shall be on each branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. And three similar bowls, in the likeness of nuts, shall be on the other branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. This shall be the form of the six branches, which are to proceed from the stem.
33 Tres copas en forma de almendras en el un brazo, una manzana y una flor; y tres copas, figura de almendras, en el otro brazo, una manzana y una flor: así pues, en los seis brazos que salen del candelero:
33 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand;
34 Then, in the lampstand itself, there shall be four bowls, the size of nuts, and each with little spheres and lilies.
34 Y en el candelero cuatro copas en forma de almendras, sus manzanas y sus flores.
34 and in the lamp stand four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;
35 Little spheres under two branches in three places, which together make six, shall proceed from one of the stems.
35 Habrá una manzana debajo de los dos brazos de lo mismo, otra manzana debajo de los otros dos brazos de lo mismo, y otra manzana debajo de los [otros] dos brazos de lo mismo, en conformidad á los seis brazos que salen del candelero.
35 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lamp stand.
36 Thus both the little spheres and the branches shall be made out of the same thing: entirely formed from the purest gold.
36 Sus manzanas y sus brazos serán de lo mismo, todo ello una pieza labrada á martillo, de oro puro.
36 Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.
37 You shall also make seven lamps, and you shall place them upon the lampstand, so that they may give light in every direction.
37 Y hacerle has siete candilejas, las cuales encenderás para que alumbren á la parte de su delantera:
37 You shall make its lamps seven, and they shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it.
38 Likewise, the candle snuffers, and the place where the candles will be extinguished, shall be made from the purest gold.
38 También sus despabiladeras y sus platillos, de oro puro.
38 Its snuffers and its snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.
39 The entire weight of the candlestick, with all its parts, shall hold one talent of the purest gold.
39 De un talento de oro fino lo harás, con todos estos vasos.
39 It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these accessories.
40 Observe, and then make it according to the example that was shown to you on the mountain.”
40 Y mira, y hazlos conforme á su modelo, que te ha sido mostrado en el monte.
40 See that you make them after their pattern, which has been shown to you on the mountain.

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).
… taken care that the types were found in things more exactly correspondent and more holy; and, above all, in the case of the Ark of the Covenant, on account of which the whole tabernacle of witness was formed. Now it was constructed thus: its length was two cubits and a half, its breadth one cubit and a half, its height …
… all things," and again, "All things of God." The word of truth has, however, frequently used this term in the case of the material, as when it says "Thou shalt make an ark of incorruptible wood;" and "Thou shalt make the candlestick of pure gold;" and "The first man is of the earth, earthy;" and "Thou art formed out of …

… half, its breadth one cubit and a half, its height one cubit and a half; but such a number of cubits in no respect corresponds with their system, yet by it the type ought to have been, beyond everything else, clearly set forth. The mercy-seat also does in like manner not at all harmonize with their expositions.
The mercy-seat also does in like manner not at all harmonize with their expositions. Moreover, the table of shew-bread was two cubits in length, while its height was a cubit and a half.
