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 gives it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering.
3. And this is the offering which you shall take from 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 acacia 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 breastplate.
8. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9. According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall you 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 you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12. And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13. And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
14. And you shall put the poles into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried with them.
15. The poles shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
16. And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
17. And you shall 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 you shall make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shall you 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 you make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
20. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
21. And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.
22. And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment unto the children of Israel.
23. You shall also 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 you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make for it a crown of gold round about.
25. And you shall make unto it a border of a hand breadth round about, and you shall make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
26. And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
27. Along the border shall the rings be for places of the poles to carry the table.
28. And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.
29. And you shall make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover with: of pure gold shall you make them.
30. And you shall set upon the table showbread before me always.
31. And you shall 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 one piece with it.
32. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
33. Three bowls made like unto 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 come out of the candlestick.
34. And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto 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 proceed out of the candlestick.
36. Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37. And you shall make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light in front of it.
38. And the tongs thereof, and the fireholders thereof, shall be of pure gold.
39. Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
40. And look that you make them after their pattern, which was shown you in the mount.
