[1] And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
[2] Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart 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 badgers' skins, and shittim wood.
[6] Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
[7] Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breast-plate.
[8] And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
[9] According to all that I show thee after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its instruments, even so shall ye make it.
[10] And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its hight.
[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 around it.
[12] And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
[13] And thou shalt make staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
[14] And thou shalt put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
[15] The staffs 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 its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
[18] And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy-seat.
[19] And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on its two ends.
[20] And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; towards 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 to the children of Israel.
[23] Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: its length shall be two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its hight a cubit and a half.
[24] And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make to it a crown of gold around it.
[25] And thou shalt make to it a border of an hand-breadth around it, and thou shalt make a golden crown to its border around it.
[26] And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.
[27] Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staffs to bear the table.
[28] And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
[29] And thou shalt make its dishes, and its spoons, and its covers, and its bowls, to cover it with: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
[30] And thou shalt set upon the table show-bread before me always.
[31] And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: its shaft, and its branches, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of the same.
[32] And six branches shall extend from the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick from the one side, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side:
[33] Three bowls made like to almonds, with a knob and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knob and a flower: so in the six branches that project from the candlestick.
[34] And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like to almonds, with their knobs and their flowers.
[35] And there shall be a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that project from the candlestick.
[36] Their knobs and their branches shall be of the same: all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
[37] And thou shalt make its seven lamps: and they shall light its lamps, that they may give light over against it.
[38] And its tongs, and its snuff-dishes, shall be of pure gold.
[39] Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
[40] And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shown thee on the mount.
