1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
1 Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés, diciendo:
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, that they receiue an offring for me: of euery man, whose heart giueth it freely, ye shall take the offring for me.
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 this is the offring which ye shall take of them, golde, and siluer, and brasse,
3 Y esta es la ofrenda que tomaréis de ellos: Oro, y plata, y cobre,
4 And blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine linnen, and goates heare,
4 Y jacinto, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino fino, y [pelo] de cabras,
5 And rammes skinnes coloured red, and the skinnes of badgers, and the wood Shittim,
5 Y cueros de carneros teñidos de rojo, y cueros de tejones, y madera de Sittim;
6 Oyle for the light, spices for anoynting oyle, and for the perfume of sweete sauour,
6 Aceite para la luminaria, especias para el aceite de la unción, y para el sahumerio aromático;
7 Onix stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the brest plate.
7 Piedras de onix, y piedras de engastes, para el ephod, y para el racional.
8 Also they shall make me a Sanctuarie, that I may dwell among them.
8 Y hacerme han un santuario, y yo habitaré entre ellos.
9 According to all that I shewe thee, euen so shall ye make the forme of the Tabernacle, and the facion of all the instruments thereof.
9 Conforme á todo lo que yo te mostrare, el diseño del tabernáculo, y el diseño de todos sus vasos, así lo haréis.
10 They shall make also an Arke of Shittim wood, two cubites and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie.
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 ouerlay it with pure golde: within and without shalt thou ouerlay it, and shalt make vpon it a crowne of golde rounde 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 thou shalt cast foure rings of golde for it, and put them in the foure corners thereof: that is, two rings shalbe on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side thereof.

14 Y meterás las varas por los anillos á los lados del arca, para llevar el arca con ellas.
15 The barres shalbe in the rings of the Arke: they shall not be taken away from it.
15 Las varas se estarán en los anillos del arca: no se quitarán de ella.
16 So thou shalt put in the Arke the Testimonie which I shall giue thee.
16 Y pondrás en el arca el testimonio que yo te daré.
17 Also thou shalt make a Mercie seate of pure golde, two cubites and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade.

19 And the one Cherub shalt thou make at the one ende, and the other Cherub at the other ende: of the matter of the Mercieseate shall ye make the Cherubims, on the two endes thereof.
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 And the Cherubims shall stretche their winges on hie, couering the Mercie seate with their winges, and their faces one to another: to the Mercie seate warde shall the faces of the Cherubims be.
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 And thou shalt put the Mercieseate aboue vpon the Arke, and in the Arke thou shalt put the Testimonie, which I will giue thee,
21 Y pondrás la cubierta encima del arca, y en el arca pondrás el testimonio que yo te daré.
22 And there I will declare my selfe vnto thee, and from aboue ye Mercieseate betweene ye two Cherubims, which are vpon ye Arke of ye Testimonie, I wil tel thee al things which I wil giue thee in comandement vnto ye children of Israel.
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 also make a Table of Shittim wood, of two cubites long, and one cubite broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie:
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.

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.
