Exodus 25:1-13 ▼

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for Me an offering; of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take My offering.

3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass;

4 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair;

5 and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia-wood;

6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense;

7 onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

9 According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it.

10 And they shall make an ark of acacia-wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

13 And thou shalt make staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.
