| 1 | And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 2 | Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take my offering. |
| 3 | And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass, |
| 4 | and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair], |
| 5 | and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood, |
| 6 | oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, |
| 7 | onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate. |
| 8 | And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. |
| 9 | According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it. |
| 10 | And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. |
| 11 | And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. |
| 12 | And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. |
| 13 | And thou shalt make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. |
| 14 | And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, wherewith to bear the ark. |
| 15 | The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. |
| 16 | And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. |
| 17 | And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. |
| 18 | And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat. |
| 19 | And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. |
| 20 | And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. |
| 21 | And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. |
| 22 | And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. |
| 23 | And thou shalt make a table of acacia wood: two cubits [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. |
| 24 | And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. |
| 25 | And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about; and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. |
| 26 | And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. |
| 27 | Close by the border shall the rings be, for places for the staves to bear the table. |
| 28 | And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. |
| 29 | And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and the spoons thereof, and the flagons thereof, and the bowls thereof, wherewith to pour out: of pure gold shalt thou make them. |
| 30 | And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me alway. |
| 31 | And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it. |
| 32 | And there shall be six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof: |
| 33 | three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the candlestick: |
| 34 | and in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof; |
| 35 | and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick. |
| 36 | Their knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold. |
| 37 | And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven: and they shall light the lamps thereof, to give light over against it. |
| 38 | And the snuffers thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. |
| 39 | Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels. |
| 40 | And see that thou make them after their pattern, which hath been showed thee in the mount. |
