1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 "Tell the Israelites to take an offering for me.
From every one whose heart willingly moves him,
receive my offering.
3 This is the offering that you may accept from them:
gold, silver and bronze,
4 blue, purple and scarlet yarns and fine linen, goats' hair,
5 rams' skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,
6 olive oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil
and for the fragrant incense,
7 onyx stones and gems to be set in the ephod and
the breastpiece.

8 Let them make a sanctuary for me so that I may dwell
among them.
9 According to all that I show you regarding the pattern
of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture,
that is exactly how you are to make it.
10 They shall make an ark of acacia wood: 45 inches long,
27 inches wide and 27 inches high.
11 You shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out,
and make a molding of gold around it.
12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them
on its four feet with two rings on the one side and two
rings on the other.
13 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 mercy-seat lid.
20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering
over the mercy-seat lid with their wings having their faces
facing each other with their faces looking in toward the
mercy-seat lid.
21 You shall put the mercy-seat lid on the ark; and in the ark
you shall put the testimony tablets that I will give you.
22 I will meet with you there and from above the mercy-seat
lid between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the testimony
I will communicate to you all of my commands for the Israelites.

in the four corners where its four legs are.

used to carry the table.
28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them
with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.
29 You shall make its dishes, pans, pitchers and the jars of
pure gold for the pouring out drink offerings.

me always.

31 You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The base and shaft
of the lampstand shall be made of hammered metal along with its cups,
buds, and flowers from one piece of metal.

with its buds and blossoms.
35 There will be a bud under each two branches one piece with it,
and a bud under the next two branches one piece with it and a
bud under the third two branches one piece with it according to
the six branches extending from the lampstand.
36 Their buds and branches shall all be one piece all of it
