[1]AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [2]Speak to the Israelites to set aside an offering for me; of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take an offering. [3]And this is the offering which you shall take of them: gold, silver, and brass, [4]Blue, purple, and scarlet, fine linen, and goats' hair, [5]And rams' skins dyed red, skins dyed with vermilion, and shittim wood, [6]Oil for the lamps, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, [7]Onyx stones, and precious 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 vessels thereof, even so shall you make it [10]And they shall make an ark of shittim wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high. [11]And you shall overlay it with pure gold, without and within 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 on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. [13]And you shall make poles of shittim 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 borne with them. [15]The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall never be taken out of them. [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 and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad. [18]And you shall make two cherubim of gold, of cast work shall you make them, on the two sides of the mercy seat. [19]And make one cherub on the one side, and the other cherub on the other side of the mercy seat; thus you shall make two cherubim on the two sides thereof. [20]And the cherubim shall spread 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 cherubim be. [21]And you shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. [22]And there I will meet you, and I will commune with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will command you concerning the children of Israel [23]You shall also make a table of shittim wood, two cubits long, a cubit broad, and a cubit and a half high. [24]And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make for it a crown of gold round about. [25]And you shall make for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and you shall make a golden crown for 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]The rings shall be put toward the border to be places for the poles to carry the table. [28]You shall make the poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. [29]You shall make dishes, spoons, jars, and bowls to pour out wine with them; of pure gold you shall make them. [30]And you shall set shewbread on the table before me always [31]And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold; of cast work shall the candlestick be made; its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its buds, and its flowers shall be of one piece. [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 shall be fastened on one shaft, with buds and flowers on one branch; and three bowls shall be fastened on another shaft, with buds and flowers on the other branch; so on all the six branches that come out of the candlestick. [34]And on the candlestick shall be four bowls made like almonds, with their buds and flowers. [35]And there shall be a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under two branches of the same, likewise for the six branches that come out of the candlestick. [36]Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece; all of it shall be of one piece cast of pure gold. [37]And you shall make the seven lamps thereof; and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. [38]And you shall make snuffers thereof, and snuff dishes thereof of pure gold. [39]Of a talent of pure gold shall you make it, with all these vessels. [40]And see that you make them after the same pattern which I have shown you on the mountain
