Exodus 25

CHAPTER 25

1And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

2Speak thou to the sons of Israel, that they take to me the first fruits; of each man that offereth willfully, ye shall take those [things].

3Forsooth these things it be, which ye shall take, gold, and silver, and brass,

4and jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and bis, that is, white silk, [and] hairs of goats,

5and skins of wethers made red, and skins of jacinth, and wood of shittim,

6and oil to lights to be ordained, sweet smelling spiceries into ointment, and incense of good odour,

7onyx stones, and gems to adorn ephod, that is, a chasuble, and the rational, that is, an ouch hanging on the priest’s breast, in which was written doom and truth.

8And they shall make a saintuary to me, and I shall dwell in the midst of them,

9by all the likeness of the taber-nacle that I shall show to thee, and of all the vessels of [the] adorning thereof.

10And thus ye shall make it; join together an ark, or a coffer, of the wood of shittim, whose length shall have two cubits and an half, the breadth shall have one cubit and an half, the height in like manner one cubit and an half.

11And thou shalt overgild it with cleanest gold within and without; and thou shalt make a golden crown above by compass,

12and four golden rings, which thou shalt set by [the] four corners of the ark; two rings be in [the] one side, and two rings in the other side.

13Also thou shalt make bars of the wood of shittim, and thou shalt cover them with gold,

14and thou shalt bring in by the rings that be in the sides of the ark, that it be borne in them,

15the which bars shall ever[more] be in the rings, neither they shall any time be drawn out of them.

16And thou shalt put into the ark the witnessing, that is, law, which I shall give to thee.

17And thou shalt make a propiti-atory#25:17 Also known as ‘God’s answering place’ and ‘the mercy seat’. of cleanest gold; that is, a table covering the ark, [or a place of purchasing mercy]; the length thereof shall hold two cubits and an half, [and] the breadth shall hold one cubit and an half.

18Also thou shalt make on ever either side of God’s answering place, two cherubims [or cherubim] of gold, and beaten out with an hammer;

19one cherub be on one side of God’s answering place, and the tother in the tother side; cover they ever either side of the propitiatory,

20and hold they forth their wings, and cover they God’s answering place; and behold they themselves together, while their faces be turned in to the propitiatory,

21with which the ark of the Lord shall be covered, in which ark thou shalt put the witnessing [or the testimony], that is, the tables of the law, that I shall give to thee.

22From thence I shall command, and I shall speak to thee above the propitiatory, that is, from the midst of [the] two cherubims [or cherubim], that shall be on the ark of witnessing, all things which I shall command by thee to the sons of Israel.

23Also thou shalt make a board of the wood of shittim, having two cubits of length, and one cubit of broadness, and one cubit and an half in height.

24And thou shalt overgild the board with most pure gold, and thou shalt make to it a golden brink about;

25and thou shalt make to that brink a crown raised betwixt four fingers high, and thou shalt make on that another little golden crown.

26And thou shalt make ready four golden rings, and thou shalt put them in [the] four corners of the same board, by all the feet thereof.

27Under the crown shall be golden rings, that the bars be put through them, and so the table may be borne.

28Thou shalt make the bars of the wood of shittim, and thou shalt com-pass them with gold to bear the board.

29And thou shalt make ready vessels of vinegar, and vials, and censers, and cups of purest gold, in which flowing sacrifices shall be offered.

30And thou shalt set on the board loaves of proposition, or of setting forth, in my sight ever[more].

31And thou shalt make a candle-stick beaten out with an hammer, of cleanest gold, [and] thou shalt make the shaft thereof, and [the] rods, and cups, and little roundels [or balls], and lilies coming forth thereof.

32Six rods shall go out of the sides of it, three of the one side, and three of the other.

33Three cups as in the manner of a nut by each rod, and [the] little roundels [or balls] together, and a lily, and in like manner three cups at the likeness of a nut in the tother rod, and little roundels together, and a lily; this shall be the work of six rods, that shall be brought forth [out] of the candlestick shaft.

34Forsooth in that candlestick shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and little roundels [or balls] and lilies by each cup;

35and the little roundels [or balls] shall be under two rods by three places, the which rods altogether be made six, coming forth of one shaft;

36and therefore the little roundels and the rods thereof shall be all beaten out with an hammer, of cleanest gold.

37And thou shalt make seven lanterns, and thou shalt set them on the candlestick, that they shine even against each other.

38Also tongs to snuff the candles, and the vessels where those snuffs, that be snuffed out, be quenched, be made of cleanest gold.

39All the weight of the candlestick with all his vessels shall have, or weigh, a talent of cleanest gold.

40Behold thou, and make all things by the exemplar, which is showed to thee in the hill.

Exodus 25

1 # Ex 35—40. The Lord said to Moses, 2#Ex 35.4-9. “Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me an offering; from every man whose heart makes him willing you shall receive the offering for me. 3And this is the offering which you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 4blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen, goats' hair, 5tanned rams' skins, goatskins, acacia wood, 6oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. 8And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. 9According to all that I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.

10 # Ex 37.1-9. “They shall make an ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half shall be its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 11And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and you shall make upon it a molding of gold round about. 12And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 13You shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark by them. 15The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it. 16And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you. 17Then you shall make a mercy seat#25.17 Or cover of pure gold; two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. 18And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. 20The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. 21And you shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. 22There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you of all that I will give you in commandment for the people of Israel.

23 # Ex 37.10-15. “And you shall make a table of acacia wood; two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a molding of gold around it. 25And you shall make around it a frame a handbreadth wide, and a molding of gold around the frame. 26And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and fasten the rings to the four corners at its four legs. 27Close to the frame the rings shall lie, as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, and the table shall be carried with these. 29And you shall make its plates and dishes for incense, and its flagons and bowls with which to pour libations; of pure gold you shall make them. 30#Ex 39.36; 40.23; Lev 24.5-9. And you shall set the bread of the Presence on the table before me always.

31 # Ex 37.17-24. “And you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The base and the shaft of the lampstand shall be made of hammered work; its cups, its capitals, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it; 32and there shall be six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it; 33three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand; 34and on the lampstand itself four cups made like almonds, with their capitals and flowers, 35and a capital of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out from the lampstand. 36Their capitals and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one piece of hammered work of pure gold. 37And you shall make the seven lamps for it; and the lamps shall be set up so as to give light upon the space in front of it. 38Its snuffers and their trays shall be of pure gold. 39Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these utensils. 40#Acts 7.44; Heb 8.5. And see that you make them after the pattern for them, which is being shown you on the mountain.
