Exodus 30

1 “You are also to make an altar of acacia wood for the burning of incense.

1 «وَتَصْنَعُ مَذْبَحًا لِإِيقَادِ ٱلْبَخُورِ. مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ تَصْنَعُهُ.

2 It is to be square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns must be of one piece.

2 طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ. مُرَبَّعًا يَكُونُ. وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ. مِنْهُ تَكُونُ قُرُونُهُ.

3 Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.

3 وَتُغَشِّيهِ بِذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ: سَطْحَهُ وَحِيطَانَهُ حَوَالَيْهِ وَقُرُونَهُ. وَتَصْنَعُ لَهُ إِكْلِيلًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ حَوَالَيْهِ.

4 And make two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.

4 وَتَصْنَعُ لَهُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ تَحْتَ إِكْلِيلِهِ عَلَى جَانِبَيْهِ. عَلَى ٱلْجَانِبَيْنِ تَصْنَعُهُمَا، لِتَكُونَا بَيْتَيْنِ لِعَصَوَيْنِ لِحَمْلِهِ بِهِمَا.

5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

5 وَتَصْنَعُ ٱلْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ وَتُغَشِّيهِمَا بِذَهَبٍ.

6 Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony—before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony—where I will meet with you.

6 وَتَجْعَلُهُ قُدَّامَ ٱلْحِجَابِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ. قُدَّامَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلشَّهَادَةِ حَيْثُ أَجْتَمِعُ بِكَ.

7 And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps.

7 فَيُوقِدُ عَلَيْهِ هَارُونُ بَخُورًا عَطِرًا كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ، حِينَ يُصْلِحُ ٱلسُّرُجَ يُوقِدُهُ.

8 When Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he must burn the incense perpetually before the LORD for the generations to come.

8 وَحِينَ يُصْعِدُ هَارُونُ ٱلسُّرُجَ فِي ٱلْعَشِيَّةِ يُوقِدُهُ. بَخُورًا دَائِمًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ.

9 On this altar you must not offer unauthorized incense or a burnt offering or grain offering; nor are you to pour a drink offering on it.

9 لَا تُصْعِدُوا عَلَيْهِ بَخُورًا غَرِيبًا وَلَا مُحْرَقَةً أَوْ تَقْدِمَةً، وَلَا تَسْكُبُوا عَلَيْهِ سَكِيبًا.

10 Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. The altar is most holy to the LORD.”

10 وَيَصْنَعُ هَارُونُ كَفَّارَةً عَلَى قُرُونِهِ مَرَّةً فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ. مِنْ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي لِلْكَفَّارَةِ مَرَّةً فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ يَصْنَعُ كَفَّارَةً عَلَيْهِ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ. قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ هُوَ لِلرَّبِّ».

11 Then the LORD said to Moses,

11 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

12 “When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will come upon them when they are numbered.

12 «إِذَا أَخَذْتَ كَمِّيَّةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنْهُمْ، يُعْطُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِدْيَةَ نَفْسِهِ لِلرَّبِّ عِنْدَمَا تَعُدُّهُمْ، لِئَلَّا يَصِيرَ فِيهِمْ وَبَأٌ عِنْدَمَا تَعُدُّهُمْ.

13 Everyone who crosses over to those counted must pay a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD.

13 هَذَا مَا يُعْطِيهِ كُلُّ مَنِ ٱجْتَازَ إِلَى ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ: نِصْفُ ٱلشَّاقِلِ بِشَاقِلِ ٱلْقُدْسِ. ٱلشَّاقِلُ هُوَ عِشْرُونَ جِيرَةً. نِصْفُ ٱلشَّاقِلِ تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

14 Everyone twenty years of age or older who crosses over must give this offering to the LORD.

14 كُلُّ مَنِ ٱجْتَازَ إِلَى ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا يُعْطِي تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

15 In making the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives, the rich shall not give more than a half shekel, nor shall the poor give less.

15 اَلْغَنِيُّ لَا يُكَثِّرُ وَٱلْفَقِيرُ لَا يُقَلِّلُ عَنْ نِصْفِ ٱلشَّاقِلِ حِينَ تُعْطُونَ تَقْدِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ نُفُوسِكُمْ.

16 Take the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD to make atonement for your lives.”

16 وَتَأْخُذُ فِضَّةَ ٱلْكَفَّارَةِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَجْعَلُهَا لِخِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ. فَتَكُونُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَذْكَارًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ نُفُوسِكُمْ».

17 And the LORD said to Moses,

17 وَكَلَّمْ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

18 “You are to make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Set it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it,

18 «وَتَصْنَعُ مِرْحَضَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَاعِدَتَهَا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، لِلِٱغْتِسَالِ. وَتَجْعَلُهَا بَيْنَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَاءً.

19 with which Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet.

19 فَيَغْسِلُ هَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ مِنْهَا.

20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the LORD, they must wash with water so that they will not die.

20 عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ يَغْسِلُونَ بِمَاءٍ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتُوا، أَوْ عِنْدَ ٱقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِلْخِدْمَةِ لِيُوقِدُوا وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ.

21 Thus they are to wash their hands and feet so that they will not die; this shall be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”

21 يَغْسِلُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتُوا. وَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ».

22 Then the LORD said to Moses,

22 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

23 “Take the finest spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half that amount (250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane,

23 «وَأَنْتَ تَأْخُذُ لَكَ أَفْخَرَ ٱلْأَطْيَابِ: مُرًّا قَاطِرًا خَمْسَ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ، وَقِرْفَةً عَطِرَةً نِصْفَ ذَلِكَ: مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ، وَقَصَبَ ٱلذَّرِيرَةِ مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ،

24 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.

24 وَسَلِيخَةً خَمْسَ مِئَةٍ بِشَاقِلِ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَمِنْ زَيْتِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ هِينًا.

25 Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.

25 وَتَصْنَعُهُ دُهْنًا مُقَدَّسًا لِلْمَسْحَةِ. عِطْرَ عِطَارَةٍ صَنْعَةَ ٱلْعَطَّارِ. دُهْنًا مُقَدَّسًا لِلْمَسْحَةِ يَكُونُ.

26 Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,

26 وَتَمْسَحُ بِهِ خَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَتَابُوتَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ،

27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,

27 وَٱلْمَائِدَةَ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهَا، وَٱلْمَنَارَةَ وَآنِيَتَهَا، وَمَذْبَحَ ٱلْبَخُورِ،

28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

28 وَمَذْبَحَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهِ، وَٱلْمِرْحَضَةَ وَقَاعِدَتَهَا.

29 You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

29 وَتُقَدِّسُهَا فَتَكُونُ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ. كُلُّ مَا مَسَّهَا يَكُونُ مُقَدَّسًا.

30 Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.

30 وَتَمْسَحُ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَتُقَدِّسُهُمْ لِيَكْهَنُوا لِي.

31 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.

31 وَتُكَلِّمُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: يَكُونُ هَذَا لِي دُهْنًا مُقَدَّسًا لِلْمَسْحَةِ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ.

32 It must not be used to anoint an ordinary man, and you must not make anything like it with the same formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.

32 عَلَى جَسَدِ إِنْسَانٍ لَا يُسْكَبُ، وَعَلَى مَقَادِيرِهِ لَا تَصْنَعُوا مِثْلَهُ. مُقَدَّسٌ هُوَ، وَيَكُونُ مُقَدَّسًا عِنْدَكُمْ.

33 Anyone who mixes perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”

33 كُلُّ مَنْ رَكَّبَ مِثْلَهُ وَمَنْ جَعَلَ مِنْهُ عَلَى أَجْنَبِيٍّ يُقْطَعُ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ».

34 The LORD also said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—in equal measures,

34 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ لَكَ أَعْطَارًا: مَيْعَةً وَأَظْفَارًا وَقِنَّةً عَطِرَةً وَلُبَانًا نَقِيًّا. تَكُونُ أَجْزَاءً مُتَسَاوِيَةً،

35 and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.

35 فَتَصْنَعُهَا بَخُورًا عَطِرًا صَنْعَةَ ٱلْعَطَّارِ، مُمَلَّحًا نَقِيًّا مُقَدَّسًا.

36 Grind some of it into fine powder and place it in front of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.

36 وَتَسْحَقُ مِنْهُ نَاعِمًا، وَتَجْعَلُ مِنْهُ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ حَيْثُ أَجْتَمِعُ بِكَ. قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ يَكُونُ عِنْدَكُمْ.

37 You are never to use this formula to make incense for yourselves; you shall regard it as holy to the LORD.

37 وَٱلْبَخُورُ ٱلَّذِي تَصْنَعُهُ عَلَى مَقَادِيرِهِ لَا تَصْنَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. يَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ مُقَدَّسًا لِلرَّبِّ.

38 Anyone who makes something like it to enjoy its fragrance shall be cut off from his people.”

38 كُلُّ مَنْ صَنَعَ مِثْلَهُ لِيَشُمَّهُ يُقْطَعُ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ».
