Exodus 25
25
1 AND THE Lord said to Moses,
2 Speak to the Israelites, that they take for Me an offering. From every man who gives it willingly and ungrudgingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
3 This is the offering you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze,
4 Blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen and goats' hair,
5 Rams' skins tanned red, goatskins, dolphin or porpoise skins, acacia wood,
6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense,
7 Onyx stones, and stones for setting in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8 Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. [Heb. 8:1, 2; 10:1.]
9 And you shall make it according to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.
10 They shall make an ark of acacia wood: two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11 You shall overlay the ark with pure gold, inside and out, and make a gold crown, a rim or border, around its top.
12 You shall cast four gold rings and attach them to the four lower corners of it, two rings on either side.
13 You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold,
14 And put the poles through the rings on the ark's sides, by which to carry it.
15 The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it [that the ark be not touched].
16 And you shall put inside the ark the Testimony [the Ten Commandments] which I will give you.
17 And you shall make a mercy seat (a covering) of pure gold, two cubits and a half long and a cubit and a half wide.
18 And you shall make two cherubim (winged angelic figures) of [solid] hammered gold on the two ends of the mercy seat.
19 Make one cherub on each end, making the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat, on the two ends of it.
20 And the cherubim shall spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, facing each other and looking down toward the mercy seat.
21 You shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony [the Ten Commandments] that I will give you.
22 There 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 intimately with you of all which I will give you in commandment to the Israelites.
23 Also, make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high [for the showbread].
24 You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a crown, a rim or molding, of gold around the top of it;
25 And make a frame of a handbreadth around and below the top of it and put around it a gold molding as a border.
26 You shall make for it four rings of gold and fasten them at the four corners that are on the table's four legs.
27 Close against the frame shall the rings be as places for the poles to pass to carry the table [of showbread].
28 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 its plates [for showbread] and cups [for incense], and its flagons and bowls [for liquids in sacrifice]; make them of pure gold.
30 And you shall set the showbread (the bread of the Presence) on the table before Me always. [John 6:58.]
31 You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of beaten and turned work shall the lampstand be made, both its base and its shaft; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it.
32 Six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side and three branches out of its other side;
33 Three cups made like almond blossoms, each with a knob and a flower on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms on the other branch with a knob and a flower; so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand;
34 And on the [center shaft] itself you shall [make] four cups like almond blossoms with their knobs and their flowers.
35 Also make a knob [on the shaft] under each pair of the six branches going out from the lampstand and one piece with it;
36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.
37 And you shall make the lamps of the [lampstand] to include a seventh one [at the top of the shaft]. [The priests] shall set up the [seven] lamps of it so they may give light in front of it.
38 Its snuffers and its ashtrays shall be of pure gold.
39 Use a talent of pure gold for it, including all these utensils.
40 And see to it that you copy [exactly] their pattern which was shown you on the mountain. [Heb. 8:5, 6.]

1Adonai spoke to Moses saying,
2“Tell Bnei-Yisrael to take up an offering for Me. From anyone whose heart compels him you are to take My offering.
3These are the contributions which you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze;
4blue, purple and scarlet cloth; fine linen and goat hair;
5ram skins dyed red, sealskins, acacia wood;
6oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense;
7onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastplate.
8“Have them make a Sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.
9You are to make it all precisely according to everything that I show you—the pattern of the Tabernacle and the pattern of all the furnishings within—just so you must make it.
10“Now they are to make an Ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits in length, one and a half cubits wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11You are to overlay it with pure gold, inside and out, and make a crown of gold around it.
12You are to cast four rings of gold for it, and place them in its four feet. Two rings will be on one side, and two rings on the other side.
13Also make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
14You are to put the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, in order to carry the Ark.
15The poles are to remain in the rings of the Ark, and not be taken from it.
16You are to put the Testimony, which I will give you, into the Ark.
17“Then you are to make an atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long, one cubit and a half wide.
18Also make two cheruvim of gold, from hammered work, at the two ends of the atonement cover.
19Make one cheruv at one end and one cheruv at the other end. Of one piece with the atonement cover you are to make the cheruvim at its two ends.
20The cheruvim are to spread out their wings above, shielding the atonement cover with their wings, each facing its companion. The faces of the cheruvim are to be turned toward the atonement cover.
21You are to put the atonement cover on top of the Ark, and inside the Ark you will put the Testimony that I will give you.
22“I will meet with you there. I will speak with you from above the atonement cover—from between the two cheruvim that are on the Ark of the Testimony—about all that I will command you, for Bnei-Yisrael.
23“You will make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
24You are to overlay it with pure gold, and make a crown of gold around it.
25Make a border a single handwidth wide around it and a golden crown for the border all around.
26Also make four gold rings for it, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.
27The rings are to be close to the borders, as holders for the poles to carry the table.
28You are to make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.
29You are also to make the dishes, pans, jars and bowls to pour drink offerings, from pure gold.
30Always set the bread of the Presence on the table before Me.
31“You are to make a menorah of pure gold, by hammered work. Its base, stem, cups, bulbs and flowers are to be one piece.
32There are to be six branches coming out of the sides, three branches of the menorah out of one side, and three branches out of the other.
33There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms in one branch, each with a bulb and flower, then three cups made like almond blossoms in the next branch, each with a bulb and flower, and so forth for the six branches coming out of the menorah.
34Within the menorah will be four cups made like almond blossoms, with bulbs and flowers.
35There is to be a bulb under two branches of the first piece, a bulb under two branches of the second piece, and a bulb under two branches of the third piece, for the six branches coming out of the menorah.
36Their bulbs and their branches are to be one piece—all of it a single hammered work of pure gold.
37“You are also to make the seven lamps for it, and set the lamps up to shed light over the space before it.
38“The tongs and the censers are to be of pure gold.
39It is to be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these pieces.
40See that you make them according to their pattern being shown to you on the mountain.
