निर्गमन 30

1 फिर धूप जलाने के लिये बबूल की लकड़ी की वेदी बनाना।

2 उसकी लम्बाई एक हाथ और चौड़ाई एक हाथ की हो, वह चौकोर हो, और उसकी ऊंचाई दो हाथ की हो, और उसके सींग उसी टुकड़े से बनाए जाएं।

3 और वेदी के ऊपर वाले पल्ले और चारों ओर की अलंगों और सींगों को चोखे सोने से मढ़ना, और इसकी चारों ओर सोने की एक बाड़ बनाना।

4 और इसकी बाड़ के नीचे इसके दानों पल्ले पर सोने के दो दो कड़े बनाकर इसके दोनों ओर लगाना, वे इसके उठाने के डण्डों के खानों का काम देंगे।

5 और डण्डों को बबूल की लकड़ी के बनाकर उन को सोने से मढ़ना।

6 और तू उसको उस पर्दे के आगे रखना जो साक्षीपत्र के सन्दूक के साम्हने है, अर्थात प्रायश्चित्त वाले ढकने के आगे जो साक्षीपत्र के ऊपर है, वहीं मैं तुझ से मिला करूंगा।

7 और उसी वेदी पर हारून सुगन्धित धूप जलाया करे; प्रतिदिन भोर को जब वह दीपक को ठीक करे तब वह धूप को जलाए,

8 तब गोधूलि के समय जब हारून दीपकों को जलाए तब धूप जलाया करे, यह धूप यहोवा के साम्हने तुम्हारी पीढ़ी पीढ़ी में नित्य जलाया जाए।

9 और उस वेदी पर तुम और प्रकार का धूप न जलाना, और न उस पर होमबलि और न अन्नबलि चढ़ाना; और न इस पर अर्घ देना।

10 और हारून वर्ष में एक बार इसके सींगों पर प्रायश्चित्त करे; और तुम्हारी पीढ़ी पीढ़ी में वर्ष में एक बार प्रायश्चित्त लिया जाए; यह यहोवा के लिये परमपवित्र है॥

11 और तब यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,

12 जब तू इस्त्राएलियों की गिनती लेने लगे, तब वे गिनने के समय जिनकी गिनती हुई हो अपने अपने प्राणों के लिये यहोवा को प्रायश्चित्त दें, जिस से जब तू उनकी गिनती कर रहा हो उस समय कोई विपत्ति उन पर न आ पड़े।

13 जितने लोग गिने जाएं वे पवित्रस्थान के शेकेल के लिये आधा शेकेल दें, यह शेकेल बीस गेरा का होता है, यहोवा की भेंट आधा शेकेल हो।

14 बीस वर्ष के वा उससे अधिक अवस्था के जितने गिने जाएं उन में से एक एक जन यहोवा की भेंट दे।

15 जब तुम्हारे प्राणों के प्रायश्चित्त के निमित्त यहोवा की भेंट दी जाए, तब न तो धनी लोग आधे शेकेल से अधिक दें, और न कंगाल लोग उससे कम दें।

16 और तू इस्त्राएलियों से प्रायश्चित्त का रूपया ले कर मिलाप वाले तम्बू के काम में लगाना; जिस से वह यहोवा के सम्मुख इस्त्राएलियों के स्मरणार्थ चिन्ह ठहरे, और उनके प्राणों का प्रायश्चित्त भी हो॥

17 और यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,

18 धोने के लिये पीतल की एक हौदी और उसका पाया पीतल का बनाना। और उसे मिलाप वाले तम्बू और वेदी के बीच में रखकर उस में जल भर देना;

19 और उस में हारून और उसके पुत्र अपने अपने हाथ पांव धोया करें।

20 जब जब वे मिलाप वाले तम्बू में प्रवेश करें तब तब वे हाथ पांव जल से धोएं, नहीं तो मर जाएंगे; और जब जब वे वेदी के पास सेवा टहल करने, अर्थात यहोवा के लिये हव्य जलाने को आएं तब तब वे हाथ पांव धोएं, न हो कि मर जाएं।

21 यह हारून और उसके पीढ़ी पीढ़ी के वंश के लिये सदा की विधि ठहरे॥

22 फिर यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,

23 तू मुख्य मुख्य सुगन्ध द्रव्य, अर्थात पवित्रस्थान के शेकेल के अनुसार पांच सौ शेकेल अपने आप निकला हुआ गन्धरस, और उसका आधा, अर्थात अढ़ाई सौ शेकेल सुगन्धित अगर,

24 और पांच सौ शेकेल तज, और एक हीन जलपाई का तेल ले कर

25 उन से अभिषेक का पवित्र तेल, अर्थात गन्धी की रीति से तैयार किया हुआ सुगन्धित तेल बनवाना; यह अभिषेक का पवित्र तेल ठहरे।

26 और उससे मिलाप वाले तम्बू का, और साक्षीपत्र के सन्दूक का,

27 और सारे सामान समेत मेज़ का, और सामान समेत दीवट का, और धूपवेदी का,

28 और सारे सामान समेत होमवेदी का, और पाए समेत हौदी का अभिषेक करना।

29 और उन को पवित्र करना, जिस से वे परमपवित्र ठहरें; और जो कुछ उन से छू जाएगा वह पवित्र हो जाएगा।

30 फिर हारून का उसके पुत्रों के साथ अभिषेक करना, और इस प्रकार उन्हें मेरे लिये याजक का काम करने के लिये पवित्र करना।

31 और इस्त्राएलियों को मेरी यह आज्ञा सुनाना, कि वह तेल तुम्हारी पीढ़ी पीढ़ी में मेरे लिये पवित्र अभिषेक का तेल होगा।

32 वह किसी मनुष्य की देह पर न डाला जाए, और मिलावट में उसके समान और कुछ न बनाना; वह तो पवित्र होगा, वह तुम्हारे लिये पवित्र होगा।

33 जो कोई उसके समान कुछ बनाए, वा जो कोई उस में से कुछ पराए कुल वाले पर लगाए, वह अपने लोगों में से नाश किया जाए॥

34 फिर यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा, बोल, नखी और कुन्दरू, ये सुगन्ध द्रव्य निर्मल लोबान समेत ले लेना, ये सब एक तौल के हों,

35 और इनका धूप अर्थात लोन मिलाकर गन्धी की रीति के अनुसार चोखा और पवित्र सुगन्ध द्रव्य बनवाना;

36 फिर उस में से कुछ पीसकर बुकनी कर डालना, तब उस में से कुछ मिलाप वाले तम्बू में साक्षीपत्र के आगे, जहां पर मैं तुझ से मिला करूंगा वहां रखना; वह तुम्हारे लिये परमपवित्र होगा।

37 और जो धूप तू बनवाएगा, मिलावट में उसके समान तुम लोग अपने लिये और कुछ न बनवाना; वह तुम्हारे आगे यहोवा के लिये पवित्र होगा।

38 जो कोई सूंघने के लिये उसके समान कुछ बनाए वह अपने लोगों में से नाश किया जाए॥

1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.

2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.

3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.

4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.

5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.

8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.

9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.

10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord.

11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the Lord, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.

13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the Lord.

14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the Lord.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.

16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.

17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.

19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:

20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the Lord:

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

22 Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,

24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:

25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,

27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,

28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.

29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.

32 Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.

33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:

35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:

36 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord.

38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.

1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.

9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.

10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.

11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s house within.

12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.

14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.

16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.

17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.

18 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
