Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 “Make from acacia wood an altar for burning incense.
1 HARÁS asimismo un altar de sahumerio de perfume: de madera de Sittim lo harás.
2 It shall be square, measuring a cubit by a cubit, by two cubits high, with horns on its corners that are all one piece with the altar.
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.
3 Cover its top, its side, and its horns with pure gold, and make a gold trim to go all around it.
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.
4 On two of the altar's sides make two gold rings and attach them below the trim to hold the poles that carry it.
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.
5 Make the poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold.
5 Y harás los varales de madera de Sittim, y los cubrirás de oro.
6 Put the altar in front of the veil that hangs before the Ark of the Testimony and the atonement cover that is over the Testimony where I will meet with 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.
7 Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on the altar every morning when he takes care of the lamps.
7 Y quemará sobre él Aarón sahumerio de aroma cada mañana: cuando aderezare las lámparas lo quemará.
8 When he lights the lamps in the evening he must burn incense again so that incense will always be burned in the Lord's presence for generations to come.
8 Y cuando Aarón encenderá las lámparas al anochecer, quemará el sahumerio: rito perpetuo delante de Jehová por vuestras edades.
9 Don't offer on this altar any unapproved incense or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour out a drink offering upon it.
9 No ofreceréis sobre él sahumerio extraño, ni holocausto, ni presente; ni tampoco derramaréis sobre él libación.
10 Once a year Aaron must perform the atonement ritual by placing blood on the horns of the altar from the sin offering for atonement. This yearly atonement ritual must be carried out for generations to come. This is the Lord's holy altar.”
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.
11 The Lord told Moses,
11 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
12 “When you take a census of the Israelites, each man must pay the Lord to buy back his life when he's counted. Then they won't suffer from the plague when they're counted.
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.
13 Each one who crosses over to those counted must give a half shekel (using the sanctuary shekel standard, which weighs twenty gerahs). This half shekel is an offering 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.
14 This offering to the Lord is required from everyone twenty years old and more.
14 Cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, de veinte años arriba, dará la ofrenda á Jehová.
15 When you give this offering to buy back your lives the rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less.
15 Ni el rico aumentará, ni el pobre disminuirá de medio siclo, cuando dieren la ofrenda á Jehová para hacer expiación por vuestras personas.
16 Take this money paid by the Israelites and use it for the expenses involved in the services of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a reminder for the Israelites to buy back your lives in the presence of the Lord.”
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.
17 The Lord told Moses,
17 Habló más Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
18 “Make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
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.
19 Aaron and his sons will use it to wash their hands and feet.
19 Y de ella se lavarán Aarón y sus hijos sus manos y sus pies:
20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting, they are to wash with water so that they will not die. When they approach the altar to present burnt offerings to the Lord,
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,
21 they must also wash so that they will not die. This requirement is to be observed by them and their descendants for all generations.”
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.
22 The Lord told Moses,
22 Habló más Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
23 “Take the best quality spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, 250 shekels of sweet-smelling cinnamon, 250 shekels of aromatic reed,
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,
24 500 shekels of cassia (weights using the sanctuary shekel standard), and a hin of olive oil.
24 Y de casia quinientos, al peso del santuario, y de aceite de olivas un hin:
25 Mix these together into holy anointing oil, an aromatic blend like the product of an expert perfumer. Use it as holy anointing oil.
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.
26 Use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony,
26 Con él ungirás el tabernáculo del testimonio, y el arca del testimonio,
27 the table and all its equipment, the lampstand and its equipment, the altar of incense,
27 Y la mesa, y todos sus vasos, y el candelero, y todos sus vasos, y el altar del perfume,
28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand.
28 Y el altar del holocausto, todos sus vasos, y la fuente y su basa.
29 Dedicate them so that they will be especially holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.
29 Así los consagrarás, y serán cosas santísimas: todo lo que tocare en ellos, será santificado.
30 Anoint Aaron and his sons too and dedicate them to serve as priests for me.
30 Ungirás también á Aarón y á sus hijos, y los consagrarás para que sean mis sacerdotes.
31 Tell the Israelites, ‘This is to be my holy anointing oil for all generations to come.
31 Y hablarás á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Este será mi aceite de la santa unción por vuestras edades.
32 Don't use it on ordinary people and don't make anything like it using the same formula. It is holy, and you must treat it as being holy.
32 Sobre carne de hombre no será untado, ni haréis otro semejante, conforme á su composición: santo es; por santo habéis de tenerlo vosotros.
33 Anyone who mixes anointing oil like it, or puts it on someone other than a priest, will be expelled from their people.’”
33 Cualquiera que compusiere ungüento semejante, y que pusiere de él sobre extraño, será cortado de sus pueblos.
34 The Lord told Moses, “Take equal amounts of these aromatic spices: balsam resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense.
34 Dijo aún Jehová á Moisés: Tómate aromas, estacte y uña olorosa y gálbano aromático é incienso limpio; de todo en igual peso:
35 Add some salt and make pure and holy incense blended like the product of an expert perfumer.
35 Y harás de ello una confección aromática de obra de perfumador, [bien] mezclada, pura y santa:
36 Grind some of it into powder and place it in front of the Ark of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be especially holy 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.
37 Don't make for yourselves any incense like it using the same formula. You are to consider this incense as holy to the Lord.
37 Como la confección que harás, no os haréis otra según su composición: te será cosa sagrada para Jehová.
38 Anyone who makes incense like this for themselves to enjoy will be expelled from their people.”
38 Cualquiera que hiciere otra como ella para olerla, será cortado de sus pueblos.

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. The incense also, in like manner, [was compounded] of stacte, onycha, galbanum, mint, and frankincense, all which …
