Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying :
* "
Speak to the children of Israel ,
that they bring Me an offering .
From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering .
*
And this is the offering which you shall take from them :
gold ,
silver ,
and bronze ;
*
blue ,
purple ,
and scarlet thread ,
fine linen ,
and goats '
hair ;
*
ram skins dyed red ,
badger skins ,
and acacia wood ;
*
oil for the light ,
and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense ;
*
onyx stones ,
and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate .
*
And let them make Me a sanctuary ,
that I may dwell among them .
*
According to all that I show you ,
that is ,
the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings ,
just so you shall make it .
* "
And they shall make an ark of acacia wood ;
two and a half cubits shall be its length ,
a cubit and a half its width ,
and a cubit and a half its height .
*
And you shall overlay it with pure gold ,
inside and out you shall overlay it ,
and shall make on it a molding of gold all around .
*
You shall cast four rings of gold for it ,
and put them in its four corners ;
two rings shall be on one side ,
and two rings on the other side .
*
And you shall make poles of acacia wood ,
and overlay them with gold .
*
You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark ,
that the ark may be carried by them .
*
The poles 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 will give you .
* "
You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold ;
two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width .
*
And you shall make two cherubim of gold ;
of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat .
*
Make one cherub at one end ,
and the other cherub at the other end ;
you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat .
*
And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above ,
covering the mercy seat with their wings ,
and they shall face one another ;
the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat .
*
You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark ,
and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you .
*
And there I will meet with you ,
and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat ,
from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony ,
about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel .
* "
You shall also make a table of acacia wood ;
two cubits shall be its length ,
a cubit its width ,
and a cubit and a half its height .
*
And you shall overlay it with pure gold ,
and make a molding of gold all around .
*
You shall make for it a frame of a handbreadth all around ,
and you shall make a gold molding for the frame all around .
*
And you shall make for it four rings of gold ,
and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four legs .
*
The rings shall be close to the frame ,
as holders for the poles to bear the table .
*
And you shall make the poles of acacia wood ,
and overlay them with gold ,
that the table may be carried with them .
*
You shall make its dishes ,
its pans ,
its pitchers ,
and its bowls for pouring .
You shall make them of pure gold .
*
And you shall set the showbread on the table before Me always .
* "
You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold ;
the lampstand shall be of hammered work .
Its shaft ,
its branches ,
its bowls ,
its ornamental knobs ,
and flowers shall be of one piece .
*
And six branches shall come out of its sides :
three branches of the lampstand out of one side ,
and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side .
*
Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch ,
with an ornamental knob and a flower ,
and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch ,
with an ornamental knob and a flower--and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand .
*
On the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms ,
each with its ornamental knob and flower .
*
And there shall be a knob under the first two branches of the same ,
a knob under the second two branches of the same ,
and a knob under the third two branches of the same ,
according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand .
*
Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece ;
all of it shall be one hammered piece of pure gold .
*
You shall make seven lamps for it ,
and they shall arrange its lamps so that they give light in front of it .
*
And its wick-trimmers and their trays shall be of pure gold .
*
It shall be made of a talent of pure gold ,
with all these utensils .
*
And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain .
