- AND THE Lord said to Moses,
- 2
- Speak to the Israelites, that they take for Me an offering. From every man who gives it willingly and ungrudgingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
- 3
- This is the offering you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze,
- 4
- Blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen and goats' hair,
- 5
- Rams' skins tanned red, goatskins, dolphin or porpoise skins, acacia wood,
- 6
- Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense,
- 7
- Onyx stones, and stones for setting in the ephod and in the breastplate.
- 8
- Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. [Heb. 8:1, 2; 10:1.]
- 9
- And you shall make it according to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.
- 10
- They shall make an ark of acacia wood: two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
- 11
- You shall overlay the ark with pure gold, inside and out, and make a gold crown, a rim or border, around its top.
- 12
- You shall cast four gold rings and attach them to the four lower corners of it, two rings on either side.
- 13
- You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold,
- 14
- And put the poles through the rings on the ark's sides, by which to carry it.
- 15
- The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it [that the ark be not touched].
- 16
- And you shall put inside the ark the Testimony [the Ten Commandments] which I will give you.
- 17
- And you shall make a mercy seat (a covering) of pure gold, two cubits and a half long and a cubit and a half wide.
- 18
- And you shall make two cherubim (winged angelic figures) of [solid] hammered gold on the two ends of the mercy seat.
- 19
- Make one cherub on each end, making the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat, on the two ends of it.
- 20
- And the cherubim shall spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, facing each other and looking down toward the mercy seat.
- 21
- You shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony [the Ten Commandments] that I will give you.
- 22
- There I will meet with you and, from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are upon the ark of the Testimony, I will speak intimately with you of all which I will give you in commandment to the Israelites.
- 23
- Also, make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high [for the showbread].
- 24
- You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a crown, a rim or molding, of gold around the top of it;
- 25
- And make a frame of a handbreadth around and below the top of it and put around it a gold molding as a border.
- 26
- You shall make for it four rings of gold and fasten them at the four corners that are on the table's four legs.
- 27
- Close against the frame shall the rings be as places for the poles to pass to carry the table [of showbread].
- 28
- You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.
- 29
- And you shall make its plates [for showbread] and cups [for incense], and its flagons and bowls [for liquids in sacrifice]; make them of pure gold.
- 30
- And you shall set the showbread (the bread of the Presence) on the table before Me always. [John 6:58.]
- 31
- You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of beaten and turned work shall the lampstand be made, both its base and its shaft; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it.
- 32
- Six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side and three branches out of its other side;
- 33
- Three cups made like almond blossoms, each with a knob and a flower on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms on the other branch with a knob and a flower; so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand;
- 34
- And on the [center shaft] itself you shall [make] four cups like almond blossoms with their knobs and their flowers.
- 35
- Also make a knob [on the shaft] under each pair of the six branches going out from the lampstand and one piece with it;
- 36
- Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.
- 37

- 38

- 39
- Use a talent of pure gold for it, including all these utensils.
- 40
