1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1 Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés, diciendo:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.
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.
3 And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,
3 Y esta es la ofrenda que tomaréis de ellos: Oro, y plata, y cobre,
4 Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
4 Y jacinto, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino fino, y [pelo] de cabras,
5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:
5 Y cueros de carneros teñidos de rojo, y cueros de tejones, y madera de Sittim;
6 Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:
6 Aceite para la luminaria, especias para el aceite de la unción, y para el sahumerio aromático;
7 Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.
7 Piedras de onix, y piedras de engastes, para el ephod, y para el racional.
8 And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:
8 Y hacerme han un santuario, y yo habitaré entre ellos.
9 According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall 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.
10 Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half: the breadth, a cubit and a half: the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.
10 Harán también un arca de madera de Sittim, cuya longitud será de dos codos y medio, y su anchura de codo y medio, y su altura de codo y medio.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without: and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:
11 Y la cubrirás de oro puro; por dentro y por fuera la cubrirás; y harás sobre ella una cornisa de oro alrededor.
12 And four golden rings, which thou shall put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.
12 Y para ella harás de fundición cuatro anillos de oro, que pondrás á sus cuatro esquinas; dos anillos al un lado de ella, y dos anillos al otro lado.
13 Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
13 Y harás unas varas de madera de Sittim, las cuales cubrirás de oro:
14 And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them.
14 Y meterás las varas por los anillos á los lados del arca, para llevar el arca con ellas.
15 And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.
15 Las varas se estarán en los anillos del arca: no se quitarán de ella.
16 And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.
16 Y pondrás en el arca el testimonio que yo te daré.
17 Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.
17 Y harás una cubierta de oro fino, cuya longitud [será] de dos codos y medio, y su anchura de codo y medio.
18 Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.
18 Harás también dos querubines de oro, labrados á martillo los harás, en los dos cabos de la cubierta.
19 Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.
19 Harás, pues, un querubín al extremo de un lado, y un querubín al otro extremo del lado opuesto: de la calidad de la cubierta harás los querubines en sus dos extremidades.
20 Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith 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.
21 In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.
21 Y pondrás la cubierta encima del arca, y en el arca pondrás el testimonio que yo te daré.
22 Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.
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.
23 Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and half in height.
23 Harás asimismo una mesa de madera de Sittim: su longitud será de dos codos, y de un codo su anchura, y su altura de codo y medio.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.
24 Y la cubrirás de oro puro, y le has de hacer una cornisa de oro alrededor.
25 And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high: and over the same another little golden crown.
25 Hacerle has también una moldura alrededor, del ancho de una mano, á la cual moldura harás una cornisa de oro en circunferencia.
26 Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put 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.
27 Under the crown shall the golden rings be, 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.
28 The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold to bear up the table.
28 Y harás las varas de madera de Sittim, y las cubrirás de oro, y con ellas será llevada la mesa.
29 Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered 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.
30 And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my sight always.
30 Y pondrás sobre la mesa el pan de la proposición delante de mí continuamente.
31 Thou shalt make also a candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold, the shaft thereof, and the branches, the cups, and the bowls, and the lilies going forth 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:
32 Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of the 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:
33 Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily; and three cups, likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six branches, that are to come out from the shaft:
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:
34 And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and at every one, bowls and lilies.
34 Y en el candelero cuatro copas en forma de almendras, sus manzanas y sus flores.
35 Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six coming forth out of one shaft.
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.
36 And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten work of the purest gold.
36 Sus manzanas y sus brazos serán de lo mismo, todo ello una pieza labrada á martillo, de oro puro.
37 Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the candlestick, to give light over against.
37 Y hacerle has siete candilejas, las cuales encenderás para que alumbren á la parte de su delantera:
38 The snuffers also and where the snuffings shall be put out, shall be made of the purest gold.
38 También sus despabiladeras y sus platillos, de oro puro.
39 The whole weight of the candlestick with all the furniture thereof shall be a talent of the purest gold.
39 De un talento de oro fino lo harás, con todos estos vasos.
40 Look and make it according to the pattern, that was shewn thee in the mount.
40 Y mira, y hazlos conforme á su modelo, que te ha sido mostrado en el monte.

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 …

The Cherubim, too, which o'ershadow the mercy seat, are they not the work of men's hands?

… 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.
