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.
