1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take an offering for Me. From every man whose heart stirs him, you shall take My offering.3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze;4 violet, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, and goats’ hair;5 ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood;6 oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the spiced incense;7 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.9 According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its articles, even so you shall do.10 And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of gold all around.12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them on its four feet; two rings shall be on one side, and two rings on the other side.13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried with them.15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it.16 And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I am giving you.17 You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width.18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat.19 Make one cherub at one end, and one cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it from one piece with the mercy seat.20 And the cherubim shall spread over their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces one toward another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you.22 And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, everything which I will command you concerning the children of Israel.23 You shall also make a table of acacia wood; two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height.24 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a molding of gold all around.25 You shall make for it a rim of a handbreadth all around, and you shall make a gold molding for the rim all around.26 And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four legs.27 The rings shall be close to the rim, as housings for the poles to carry the table.28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.29 You shall make its dishes, its pans, its pitchers, and its bowls for pouring. You shall make them of pure gold.30 And you shall set the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me continually.31 You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its bulbs, and flowers shall be one piece.32 And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.33 Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch, each with a bulb and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, each with a bulb and a flower; and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand.34 On the lampstand itself shall be four bowls like almond blossoms, each with its bulb and flower.35 And there shall be a bulb under the first two branches of it, a bulb under the second two branches of it, and a bulb under the third two branches of it, according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand.36 Their bulbs and their branches shall be of one piece; all of it shall be one hammered piece of pure gold.37 You shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall arrange its lamps so that they give light in front of it.38 And its snuffers and snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.39 It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils.40 And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.
