[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[2] `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.
[3] `And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold, and silver, and brass,
[4] and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' [hair],
[5] and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
[6] oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the perfume of the spices,
[7] shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
[8] `And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst;
[9] according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make [it].
[10] `And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
[11] and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.
[12] `And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
[13] and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] gold,
[14] and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them,
[15] in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it;
[16] and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.
[17] `And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
[18] and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;
[19] and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.
[20] `And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another -- towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.
[21] `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee;
[22] and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which [are] on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.
[23] `And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,
[24] and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about,
[25] and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about.
[26] `And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put the rings on the four corners, which [are] to its four feet;
[27] over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table;
[28] and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them;
[29] and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them;
[30] and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.
[31] `And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same;
[32] and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side;
[33] three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick.
[34] `And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers;
[35] and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick;
[36] their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;
[37] and thou hast made its seven lamps, and [one] hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front.
[38] `And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;
[39] of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels.
[40] And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.
