WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 “You shall also make an altar, for the burning of incense, from setim wood,
1 HARÁS asimismo un altar de sahumerio de perfume: de madera de Sittim lo harás.
1 “You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.
2 having one cubit in length, and another in width, that is, four equal sides, and two cubits in height. Horns shall proceed from the same.
2 Su longitud será de un codo, y su anchura de un codo: será cuadrado: y su altura de dos codos: y sus cuernos serán de lo mismo.
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 And you shall clothe it with the purest gold, both its grating and the walls around it, and also the horns. And you shall make for it a crown of gold in a circle,
3 Y cubrirlo has de oro puro, su techado, y sus paredes en derredor, y sus cuernos: y le harás en derredor una corona de oro.
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 and two gold rings under the crown on each side, so that the bars may be set in them and the altar may be carried.
4 Le harás también dos anillos de oro debajo de su corona á sus dos esquinas en ambos lados suyos, para meter los varales con que será llevado.
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 Also, you shall make its bars of setim wood, and you shall overlay them with gold.
5 Y harás los varales de madera de Sittim, y los cubrirás de oro.
5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 And you shall set the altar opposite the veil, which hangs in front of the ark of the testimony, before the propitiatory with which the testimony is covered, where I will speak to you.
6 Y lo pondrás delante del velo que está junto al arca del testimonio, delante de la cubierta que está sobre el testimonio, donde yo te testificaré de mí.
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 And Aaron shall burn incense upon it, a sweet fragrance, in the morning. When he lights the lamps, he shall burn it.
7 Y quemará sobre él Aarón sahumerio de aroma cada mañana: cuando aderezare las lámparas lo quemará.
7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 And when he assembles them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
8 Y cuando Aarón encenderá las lámparas al anochecer, quemará el sahumerio: rito perpetuo delante de Jehová por vuestras edades.
8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.
9 You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition, nor an oblation, nor a victim; neither shall you offer libations.
9 No ofreceréis sobre él sahumerio extraño, ni holocausto, ni presente; ni tampoco derramaréis sobre él libación.
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 And Aaron shall pray over its horns once a year, with the blood of what was offered for sin. And he shall make atonement over it in your generations. It shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.”
10 Y sobre sus cuernos hará Aarón expiación una vez en el año con la sangre de la expiación para las reconciliaciones: una vez en el año hará expiación sobre él en vuestras edades: será muy santo á Jehová.
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 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
11 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “When you have taken the sum of the sons of Israel, according to their number, each shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there will be no scourge among them, when they will be reviewed.
12 Cuando tomares el número de los hijos de Israel conforme á la cuenta de ellos, cada uno dará á Jehová el rescate de su persona, cuando los contares, y no habrá en ellos mortandad por haberlos contado.
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 Then all those who pass shall give by name: one half shekel, according to the measure at the temple. A shekel has twenty obols. The half part of a shekel shall be offered to the Lord.
13 Esto dará cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, medio siclo conforme al siclo del santuario. El siclo es de veinte óbolos: la mitad de un siclo [será] la ofrenda á Jehová.
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 He who has been numbered from twenty years and above shall give the price.
14 Cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, de veinte años arriba, dará la ofrenda á Jehová.
14 Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.
15 The rich shall not add to the half shekel, and the poor shall diminish nothing.
15 Ni el rico aumentará, ni el pobre disminuirá de medio siclo, cuando dieren la ofrenda á Jehová para hacer expiación por vuestras personas.
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 And the money received, which was collected from the sons of Israel, you shall deliver for the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may act favorably toward their souls.”
16 Y tomarás de los hijos de Israel el dinero de las expiaciones, y lo darás para la obra del tabernáculo del testimonio: y será por memoria á los hijos de Israel delante de Jehová, para expiar vuestras personas.
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 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 Habló más Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “You shall also make a bronze washtub with its base to wash in; and you shall place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And when water has been added,
18 Harás también una fuente de metal, con su basa de metal, para lavar; y la has de poner entre el tabernáculo del testimonio y el altar; y pondrás en ella 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 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:
19 Y de ella se lavarán Aarón y sus hijos sus manos y sus pies:
19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.
20 when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach to the altar so as to offer incense to the Lord upon it,
20 Cuando entraren en el tabernáculo del testimonio, se han de lavar con agua, y no morirán: y cuando se llegaren al altar para ministrar, para encender á Jehová la ofrenda que se ha de consumir al fuego,
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 otherwise, they may die. This shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his offspring, throughout their successions.”
21 También se lavarán las manos y los pies, y no morirán. Y lo tendrán por estatuto perpetuo él y su simiente por 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 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
22 Habló más Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23 saying: “Take for yourself aromatics: of the first and best myrrh, five hundred shekels, and of cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels; of sweet flag similarly two hundred and fifty,
23 Y tú has de tomar de las principales drogas; de mirra excelente quinientos [siclos], y de canela aromática la mitad, esto es, doscientos y cincuenta, y de cálamo aromático doscientos y cincuenta,
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 but of cassia, five hundred shekels by the weight of the sanctuary, and of the oil of olives the measure of a hin.
24 Y de casia quinientos, al peso del santuario, y de aceite de olivas un hin:
24 and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.
25 And you shall make the holy oil of unction, an ointment composed with the skills of a perfumer,
25 Y harás de ello el aceite de la santa unción, superior ungüento, obra de perfumador, el cual será el aceite de la unción sagrada.
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 and with it you shall anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,
26 Con él ungirás el tabernáculo del testimonio, y el arca del testimonio,
26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant,
27 and the table with its vessels, and the lampstand and its utensils, the altars of incense
27 Y la mesa, y todos sus vasos, y el candelero, y todos sus vasos, y el altar del perfume,
27 the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense,
28 and of holocaust, and all the items that pertain to their rituals.
28 Y el altar del holocausto, todos sus vasos, y la fuente y su basa.
28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.
29 And you shall sanctify everything, and they shall be the Holy of holies. He who will touch them must be sanctified.
29 Así los consagrarás, y serán cosas santísimas: todo lo que tocare en ellos, será santificado.
29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
30 Ungirás también á Aarón y á sus hijos, y los consagrarás para que sean mis sacerdotes.
30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
31 Likewise, you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘This oil of unction will be holy to me throughout your generations.
31 Y hablarás á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Este será mi aceite de la santa unción por vuestras edades.
31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
32 The flesh of man shall not be anointed from it, and you shall not make any similar compound, for it has been sanctified and it shall be holy to you.
32 Sobre carne de hombre no será untado, ni haréis otro semejante, conforme á su composición: santo es; por santo habéis de tenerlo vosotros.
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 Whatever man will have composed such a thing and have given it to a stranger, he shall be exterminated from his people.’ ”
33 Cualquiera que compusiere ungüento semejante, y que pusiere de él sobre extraño, será cortado de sus pueblos.
33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”
34 And the Lord said to Moses: “Take to yourself aromatics: stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet odor, and the clearest frankincense, all these shall be of equal weight.
34 Dijo aún Jehová á Moisés: Tómate aromas, estacte y uña olorosa y gálbano aromático é incienso limpio; de todo en igual peso:
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 And you shall make incense composed with the skills of a perfumer, diligently mixed, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.
35 Y harás de ello una confección aromática de obra de perfumador, [bien] mezclada, pura y santa:
35 You shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36 And when you have crushed all these into a very fine powder, you shall place some of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to you. The Holy of holies shall this incense be to you.
36 Y molerás alguna de ella pulverizándola, y la pondrás delante del testimonio en el tabernáculo del testimonio, donde yo te testificaré de mí. Os será cosa santísima.
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 You shall not make such a compound for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.
37 Como la confección que harás, no os haréis otra según su composición: te será cosa sagrada para Jehová.
37 You shall not make this incense, according to its composition, for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.
38 Whatever man will have made anything similar, so as to thoroughly enjoy its smell, he shall perish from his people.”
38 Cualquiera que hiciere otra como ella para olerla, será cortado de sus pueblos.
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 …
