HOLY BIBLE: Exodus 27 (original) (raw)

9 καὶ ποιήσεις αὐλὴν τῇ σκηνῇ εἰς τὸ κλίτος τὸ πρὸς λίβα ἱστία τῆς αὐλῆς ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης μῆκος ἑκατὸν πηχῶν τῷ ἑνὶ κλίτει 10 καὶ οἱ στῦλοι αὐτῶν εἴκοσι καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν εἴκοσι χαλκαῖ καὶ οἱ κρίκοι αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ ψαλίδες αὐτῶν ἀργυραῖ 11 οὕτως τῷ κλίτει τῷ πρὸς ἀπηλιώτην ἱστία ἑκατὸν πηχῶν μῆκος καὶ οἱ στῦλοι αὐτῶν εἴκοσι καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν εἴκοσι χαλκαῖ καὶ οἱ κρίκοι καὶ αἱ ψαλίδες τῶν στύλων καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν περιηργυρωμέναι ἀργύρῳ 12 τὸ δὲ εὖρος τῆς αὐλῆς τὸ κατὰ θάλασσαν ἱστία πεντήκοντα πηχῶν στῦλοι αὐτῶν δέκα καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν δέκα 13 καὶ εὖρος τῆς αὐλῆς τὸ πρὸς νότον ἱστία πεντήκοντα πήχεων στῦλοι αὐτῶν δέκα καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν δέκα 14 καὶ πεντεκαίδεκα πήχεων τὸ ὕψος τῶν ἱστίων τῷ κλίτει τῷ ἑνί στῦλοι αὐτῶν τρεῖς καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τρεῖς 15 καὶ τὸ κλίτος τὸ δεύτερον δέκα πέντε πηχῶν τῶν ἱστίων τὸ ὕψος στῦλοι αὐτῶν τρεῖς καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τρεῖς 16 καὶ τῇ πύλῃ τῆς αὐλῆς κάλυμμα εἴκοσι πηχῶν τὸ ὕψος ἐξ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης τῇ ποικιλίᾳ τοῦ ῥαφιδευτοῦ στῦλοι αὐτῶν τέσσαρες καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τέσσαρες 17 πάντες οἱ στῦλοι τῆς αὐλῆς κύκλῳ κατηργυρωμένοι ἀργυρίῳ καὶ αἱ κεφαλίδες αὐτῶν ἀργυραῖ καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν χαλκαῖ 18 τὸ δὲ μῆκος τῆς αὐλῆς ἑκατὸν ἐ{F'} ἑκατόν καὶ εὖρος πεντήκοντα ἐπὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ ὕψος πέντε πηχῶν ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν χαλκαῖ

9 Make a court, too, round the tabernacle. At the south side of this, towards the mid-day sun, there will be hangings made of twisted linen thread, a hundred cubits long on this side, 10 and twenty posts, each with its socket made of bronze, its engraved capital of silver.[2] 11 So, too, on the north side, hangings a hundred feet long, twenty posts with bronze sockets and engraved silver capitals. 12 On the short side, westwards, the line of hangings will be only fifty cubits long, and there will be only ten posts in ten sockets. 13 The side which looks eastward will also be fifty cubits in length; 14 of these, fifteen at one end will be protected by a line of hangings fifteen cubits long, with three posts and as many sockets, 15 and there will be fifteen cubits’ length of hangings, with three posts and as many sockets, at the other end too; 16 in between, at the gateway of the court, there will be hangings of twisted linen thread, embroidered with threads of blue and purple and scarlet twice-dyed, twenty cubits in length; these will have four posts, and as many sockets. 17 All the posts of the court must be plated with silver, and have capitals of silver, and sockets of bronze. 18 Thus the court will occupy a space a hundred cubits long and fifty wide, and the enclosure, of twisted linen thread with bronze sockets underneath, will be five cubits in height.

9 Facies et atrium tabernaculi, in cujus australi plaga contra meridiem erunt tentoria de bysso retorta: centum cubitos unum latus tenebit in longitudine. 10 Et columnas viginti cum basibus totidem æneis, quæ capita cum cælaturis suis habebunt argentea. 11 Similiter et in latere aquilonis per longum erunt tentoria centum cubitorum, columnæ viginti, et bases æneæ ejusdem numeri, et capita earum cum cælaturis suis argentea. 12 In latitudine vero atrii, quod respicit ad occidentem, erunt tentoria per quinquaginta cubitos, et columnæ decem, basesque totidem. 13 In ea quoque atrii latitudine, quæ respicit ad orientem, quinquaginta cubiti erunt. 14 In quibus quindecim cubitorum tentoria lateri uno deputabuntur, columnæque tres et bases totidem: 15 et in latere altero erunt tentoria cubitos obtinentia quindecim, columnæ tres, et bases totidem. 16 In introitu vero atrii fiet tentorium cubitorum viginti ex hyacintho et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere plumarii: columnas habebit quatuor, cum basibus totidem. 17 Omnes columnæ atrii per circuitum vestitæ erunt argenteis laminis, capitibus argenteis, et basibus æneis. 18 In longitudine occupabit atrium cubitos centum, in latitudine quinquaginta, altitudo quinque cubitorum erit: fietque de bysso retorta, et habebit bases æneas.

[1] ‘The hearth’; the word used here in the Hebrew is of quite uncertain significance.

[2] The word given in the Latin as ‘engraving’, in the Hebrew text appears to mean ‘plates’ of metal. So in verses 11 and 17, lower down.

[3] Here, and wherever it appears, the phrase used in the Hebrew text means rather ‘the tabernacle, which is the meeting-place (between God and man)’.
