* And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring Me an offering . You shall take an offering from every man that gives it willingly with his heart . * And this [is ] the offering which you shall take of them : gold , and silver , and brass , * and blue , and purple , and scarlet , and bleached [linen ], and goats ' [hair ], * and rams ' skins dyed red , and dugong skins , and acacia-wood , * oil for the light , spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense , * onyx stones , and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breast-pocket . * And let them make Me a sanctuary , so that I may dwell among them . * According to all that I show you , the pattern of the tabernacle , and the pattern of all the instruments of it , even so you shall make [it ]. * And they shall make an ark [of ] acacia-wood . Two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high . * And you shall overlay it [with ] pure gold . You shall overlay it inside and out , and shall make on it a crown of gold all around . * And you shall cast four rings of gold for it , and shall put [it ] on its four feet . And two rings shall be in the one side of it , and two rings in the other side of it . * And you shall make staves [of ] acacia-wood , and overlay them [with ] gold . * And you shall put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark , so that the ark may be carried with them . * And the staves shall be in the rings of the ark . They shall not be taken from it . * And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you . * And you shall make a mercy-seat [of ] pure gold . Two and a half cubits shall be the length of it , and a cubit and a half the breadth of it . * And you shall make two cherubs [of ] gold ; of beaten work you shall make them , in the two ends of the mercy-seat . * And make one cherub on the one end , and the other cherub on the other end . From the mercy-seat you shall make the cherubs , on the two ends of it . * And the cherubs shall stretch forth [their ] wings on high , covering the mercy-seat with their wings , and their faces each toward the other ; toward the mercy-seat shall the cherubs ' faces be . * 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 . * And I will meet with you there , and I will talk with you from above the mercy-seat , from between the two cherubs on the ark of the testimony , of all things which I will give you in commandment to the sons of Israel . * You shall also make a table [of ] acacia-wood , its length two cubits , and its breadth a cubit , and its height a cubit and a half . * And you shall overlay it [with ] pure gold , and make to this a crown of gold all around . * And you shall make to it a border of a hand 's breadth round about . And you shall make a golden crown to the border of it , all around . * And you shall make for it four rings of gold , and put the rings in the four corners that [are ] on the four feet of it . * The rings shall be adjoining the border as housings for the staves to carry the table . * And you shall make the staves [of ] acacia-wood and overlay them with gold , so that the table may be carried with them . * And you shall make its dishes , and its spoons , and its pitchers , and its sacrificial cups [with ] which a drink-offering is made . You shall make them [of ] pure gold . * And you shall set upon the table showbread before Me always . * And you shall make a lampstand [of ] pure gold . The lampstand shall be made of beaten work ; its shaft , and its branches , its cups , its knobs , and its blossoms , shall be from it . * And six branches shall come out of the sides of it -- three branches of the lampstand out of the one side , and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side . * Three almond-like cups on the one branch , [with ] knob and blossom ; and three almond-like cups on the one branch , [with ] knob and blossom , so for the six branches , those going out of the lampstand . * And in the lampstand [shall be ] four almond-like cups , [with ] their knobs and their blossoms ; * and a knob under two branches of it , and a knob under two branches of it , and a knob under two branches of it , according to the six branches , those going out of the lampstand . * Their knobs and their branches [shall be ] of it , all of it one beaten work of pure gold . * And you shall make the seven lamps of it . And one shall light the lamps of it , so that they may give light on its face . * And the tongs of it , and its pans [shall be ] of pure gold . * One shall make it [of ] a talent of pure gold , with all these vessels . * And see that you make them after their pattern , which was shown you in the mountain .
