Exodus 25:1-13 ▼

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take first-fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and ye shall take my first-fruits.

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

4 and blue, and purple, and double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats' hair,

5 and rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins, and incorruptible wood,

6 and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition of incense,

7 and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breast-plate, and the full-length robe.

8 And thou shalt make me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you.

9 And thou shalt make for me according to all things which I shew thee in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shalt thou make it.

10 And thou shalt make the ark of testimony of incorruptible wood; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half, and the height of a cubit and a half.

11 And thou shalt gild it with pure gold, thou shalt gild it within and without; and thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about.

12 And thou shalt cast for it four golden rings, and shalt put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side.

13 And thou shalt make staves of incorruptible wood, and shalt gild them with gold.
