إقامة المسكن

1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: 2 «تُقِيمُ مَسْكَنَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ). 3 وَتَضَعُ فِيهِ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشَرُ، وَتَسْتُرُهُ بِالْحِجَابِ. 4 ثُمَّ تُدْخِلُ الْمَائِدَةَ وَتُرَتِّبُ أَوَانِيهَا عَلَيْهَا، وَأَيْضاً الْمَنَارَةَ وَتُضِيءُ سُرُجَهَا. 5 وَتَضَعُ مَذْبَحَ الْبَخُورِ الذَّهَبِيَّ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الشَّهَادَةِ الْقَائِمِ وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ، وَتُعَلِّقُ سَتَائِرَ بَابِ الْمَسْكَنِ. 6 وَتَجْعَلُ مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ النُّحَاسِيَّ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. 7 ثُمَّ تَضَعُ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ بَيْنَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَامْلأْهُ بِالْمَاءِ. 8 وَتَنْصِبُ سَتَائِرَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ، وَتُعَلِّقُ سِتَارَ مَدْخَلِهَا. 9 وَتَأْخُذُ دُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ وَتَمْسَحُ بِهِ الْخَيْمَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَتُقَدِّسُ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهَا لِتَكُونَ مُخَصَّصَةً لِي. 10 وَتَمْسَحُ أَيْضاً مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَجَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ وَتُقَدِّسُهُ لِيَكُونَ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ. 11 وَكَذَلِكَ تَمْسَحُ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ وَقَاعِدَتَهُ وَتُقَدِّسُهُ. 12 وَتُحْضِرُ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَتَغْسِلُهُمْ بِمَاءٍ. 13 وَتُلْبِسُ هَرُونَ ثِيَابَهُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، وَتَمْسَحُهُ وَتُكَرِّسُهُ كَاهِناً لِخِدْمَتِي. 14 ثُمَّ تُحْضِرُ بَنِيهِ وَتُلْبِسُهُمْ أَقْمِصَتَهُمْ أَيْضاً. 15 وَتَمْسَحُهُمْ كَمَا مَسَحْتَ أَبَاهُمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَهَنَةً لِي. فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْمَسْحَةُ مَسْحَةَ كَهَنُوتٍ لَهُمْ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ». 16 فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ. 17 فَأَقَامَ الْمَسْكَنَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (لِلسَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ). 18 وَصَبَّ قَوَاعِدَهُ وَوَضَعَ أَلْوَاحَهُ وَعَوَارِضَهُ، وَنَصَبَ أَعْمِدَتَهُ. 19 وَبَسَطَ السَّقْفَ فَوْقَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَوَضَعَ غِطَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ. 20 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ لَوْحَيِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرِ وَوَضَعَهَا فِي التَّابُوتِ، وَوَضَعَ الْعَصَوَيْنِ عَلَى التَّابُوتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ. 21 وَحَمَلَ التَّابُوتَ إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، وَسَتَرَ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ بِالْحِجَابِ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ. 22 وَأَقَامَ الْمَائِدَةَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْجَانِبِ الشِّمَالِيِّ مِنَ الْمَسْكَنِ خَارِجَ الْحِجَابِ (أَيْ فِي الْقُدْسِ). 23 وَرَتَّبَ مُوسَى خُبْزَ التَّقْدِمَةِ عَلَى الْمَائِدَةِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ. 24 ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الْمَنَارَةَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، فِي الْجَانِبِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ مِنَ الْمَسْكَنِ مُقَابِلَ الْمَائِدَةِ. 25 وَأَضَاءَ سُرُجَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ. 26 وَوَضَعَ مَذْبَحَ الذَّهَبِ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَمَامَ الْحِجَابِ. 27 وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَيْهِ بَخُوراً عَطِراً، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ. 28 وَوَضَعَ سِتَارَةً عَلَى مَدْخَلِ الْخَيْمَةِ. 29 وَوَضَعَ مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ عِنْدَ بَابِ مَسَكَنِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. وَأَصْعَدَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالتَّقْدِمَةَ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ. 30 وَوَضَعَ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ بَيْنَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَمَذْبَحِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ. وَمَلأَهُ بِالْمَاءِ لِلاغْتِسَالِ. 31 لِيَغْسِلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ بِمَائِهِ. 32 فَيَغْتَسِلُونَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلُوا إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَوِ اقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى. 33 ثُمَّ نَصَبَ مُوسَى جَوَانِبَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ، وَعَلَّقَ سِتَارَ مَدْخَلِهَا. وَهَكَذَا أَكْمَلَ مُوسَى الْعَمَلَ.

مجد الرب

34 وَمَا لَبِثَتِ السَّحَابَةُ أَنْ غَطَّتْ خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَمَلأَ جَلالُ الرَّبِّ الْمَسْكَنَ، 35 فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مُوسَى دُخُولَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، لأَنَّ السَّحَابَةَ حَلَّتْ عَلَيْهَا، وَمَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلأَ الْمَسْكَنَ. 36 وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْفَارِهِمْ، إِلا إذَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنِ الْمَسْكَنِ. 37 وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرْتَفِعْ، يَمْكُثُونَ حَيْثُ هُمْ حَتَّى يَوْمِ ارْتِفَاعِهَا. 38 وَكَانَتِ السَّحَابَةُ تُغَطِّي الْمَسْكَنَ نَهَاراً، وَتَتَوَهَّجُ مِنْهَا نَارٌ لَيْلاً، عَلَى مَرْأَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَمِيعِ رِحْلاتِهِمْ.

New International Version

Setting up the tabernacle

1 Then the Lord said to Moses: 2 ‘Set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, on the first day of the first month. 3 Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain. 4 Bring in the table and set out what belongs on it. Then bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps. 5 Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the covenant law and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle. 6 ‘Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; 7 place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it. 8 Set up the courtyard around it and put the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. 9 ‘Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy. 10 Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it will be most holy. 11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them. 12 ‘Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water. 13 Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so that he may serve me as priest. 14 Bring his sons and dress them in tunics. 15 Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.’ 16 Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded him. 17 So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year. 18 When Moses set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames, inserted the crossbars and set up the posts. 19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the Lord commanded him. 20 He took the tablets of the covenant law and placed them in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it. 21 Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded him. 22 Moses placed the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain 23 and set out the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord commanded him. 24 He placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle 25 and set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord commanded him. 26 Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain 27 and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord commanded him. 28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle. 29 He set the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings, as the Lord commanded him. 30 He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, 31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet. 32 They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses. 33 Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.

The glory of the Lord

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; 37 but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out – until the day it lifted. 38 So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.
