Exodus 38

1 फिर उसने बबूल की लकड़ी की होमवेदी भी बनाई; उसकी लम्बाई पांच हाथ और चौड़ाई पांच हाथ की थी; इस प्रकार से वह चौकोर बनी, और ऊंचाई तीन हाथ की थी।

2 और उसने उसके चारों कोनों पर उसके चार सींग बनाए, वे उसके साथ बिना जोड़ के बने; और उसने उसको पीतल से मढ़ा।

3 और उसने वेदी का सारा सामान, अर्थात उसकी हांडिय़ों, फावडिय़ों, कटोरों, कांटों, और करछों को बनाया। उसका सारा सामान उसने पीतल का बनाया।

4 और वेदी के लिये उसके चारों ओर की कंगनी के तले उसने पीतल की जाली की एक झंझरी बनाईं, वह नीचे से वेदी की ऊंचाई के मध्य तक पहुंची।

5 और उसने पीतल की झंझरी के चारों कोनों के लिये चार कड़े ढाले, जो डण्डों के खानों का काम दें।

6 फिर उसने डण्डों को बबूल की लकड़ी का बनाया, और पीतल से मढ़ा।

7 तब उसने डण्डों को वेदी की अलंगों के कड़ों में वेदी के उठाने के लिये डाल दिया। वेदी को उसने तख्तों से खोखली बनाया॥

8 और उसे ने हौदी और उसका पाया दोनों पीतल के बनाए, यह मिलाप वाले तम्बू के द्वार पर सेवा करने वाली महिलाओं के दर्पणों के लिये पीतल के बनाए गए॥

9 फिर उसने आंगन बनाया; और दक्खिन अलंग के लिये आंगन के पर्दे बटी हुई सूक्ष्म सनी के कपड़े के थे, और सब मिलाकर सौ हाथ लम्बे थे;

10 उनके लिये बीस खम्भे, और इनकी पीतल की बीस कुसिर्यां बनी; और खम्भों की घुंडियां और जोड़ने की छड़ें चांदी की बनीं।

11 और उत्तर अलंग के लिये बीस खम्भे, और इनकी पीतल की बीस ही कुसिर्यां बनीं, और खम्भों की घुंडियां और जोड़ने की छड़ें चांदी की बनी।

12 और पश्चिम अलंग के लिये सब पर्दे मिलाकर पचास हाथ के थे; उनके लिये दस खम्भे, और दस ही उनकी कुसिर्यां थीं, और खम्भों की घुंडियां और जोड़ने की छड़ें चांदी की थीं।

13 और पूरब अलंग में भी वह पचास हाथ के थे।

14 आंगन के द्वार के एक ओर के लिये पंद्रह हाथ के पर्दे बने; और उनके लिये तीन खम्भे और तीन कुसिर्यां थी।

15 और आंगन के द्वार की दूसरी ओर भी वैसा ही बना था; और आंगन के दरवाजे के इधर और उधर पंद्रह पंद्रह हाथ के पर्दे बने थे; और उनके लिये तीन ही खम्भे, और तीन ही तीन इनकी कुसिर्यां भी थीं।

16 आंगन की चारों ओर सब पर्दे सूक्ष्म बटी हुई सनी के कपड़े के बने हुए थे।

17 और खम्भों की कुसिर्यां पीतल की, और घुंडियां और छड़े चांदी की बनी, और उनके सिरे चांदी से मढ़े गए, और आंगन के सब खम्भे चांदी के छड़ों से जोड़े गए थे।

18 आंगन के द्वार के पर्दे पर बेल बूटे का काम किया हुआ था, और वह नीले, बैंजनी और लाल रंग के कपड़े का; और सूक्ष्म बटी हुई सनी के कपड़े के बने थे; और उसकी लम्बाई बीस हाथ की थी, और उसकी ऊंचाई आंगन की कनात की चौड़ाई के सामान पांच हाथ की बनी।

19 और उनके लिये चार खम्भे, और खम्भों की चार ही कुसिर्यां पीतल की बनीं, उनकी घुंडियां चांदी की बनीं, और उनके सिरे चांदी से मढ़े गए, और उनकी छड़ें चांदी की बनीं।

20 और निवास और आंगन की चारों ओर के सब खूंटे पीतल के बने थे॥

21 साक्षीपत्र के निवास का सामान जो लेवियों की सेवकाई के लिये बना; और जिसकी गिनती हारून याजक के पुत्र ईतामार के द्वारा मूसा के कहने से हुई थी, उसका वर्णन यह है।

22 जिस जिस वस्तु के बनाने की आज्ञा यहोवा ने मूसा को दी थी उसको यहूदा के गोत्र वाले बसलेल ने, जो हूर का पोता और ऊरी का पुत्र था, बना दिया।

23 और उसके संग दान के गोत्र वाले, अहीसामाक के पुत्र, ओहोलीआब था, जो खोदने और काढ़ने वाला और नीले, बैंजनी और लाल रंग के और सूक्ष्म सनी के कपड़े में कारचोब करने वाला निपुण कारीगर था॥

24 पवित्रस्थान के सारे काम में जो भेंट का सोना लगा वह उनतीस किक्कार, और पवित्रस्थान के शेकेल के हिसाब से सात सौ तीन शेकेल था।

25 और मण्डली के गिने हुए लोगों की भेंट की चांदी सौ किक्कार, और पवित्रस्थान के शेकेल के हिसाब से सत्तरह सौ पचहत्तर शेकेल थी।

26 अर्थात जितने बीस बरस के और उससे अधिक अवस्था के गिने गए थे, वे छ: लाख तीन हज़ार साढ़े पांच सौ पुरूष थे, और एक एक जन की ओर से पवित्रस्थान के शेकेल के अनुसार आधा शेकेल, जो एक बेका होता है मिला।

27 और वह सौ किक्कार चांदी पवित्रस्थान और बीच वाले पर्दे दोनों की कुसिर्यों के ढालने में लग गई; सौ किक्कार से सौ कुसिर्यां बनीं, एक एक कुर्सी एक किक्कार की बनी।

28 और सत्तरह सौ पचहत्तर शेकेल जो बच गए उन से खम्भों की चोटियां मढ़ी गईं, और उनकी छड़ें भी बनाईं गई।

29 और भेंट का पीतल सत्तर किक्कार और दो हज़ार चार सौ शेकेल था;

30 उससे मिलाप वाले तम्बू के द्वार की कुसिर्यां, और पीतल की वेदी, पीतल की झंझरी, और वेदी का सारा सामान;

31 और आंगन के चारों ओर की कुसिर्यां, और आंगन की चारों ओर के खूंटे भी बनाए गए॥

1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.

2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.

3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.

4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.

5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.

6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.

7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.

8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:

10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

11 And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.

14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.

17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.

18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.

19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.

20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.

21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.

23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.

29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,

31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)

2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,

3 In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:

4 When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.

5 And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace;

6 Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.

7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.

8 And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.

9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.

10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.

12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

13 Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment:

14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)

15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king’s princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.

19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.

20 And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.

21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:

22 For he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.
