Exodus 25:1-9 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 Tell the Israelites to take an offering for me; from every person motivated by a willing heart you are to receive my offering.

3 This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, bronze,

4 blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goat's hair,

5 ram skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,

6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for fragrant incense,

7 onyx stones, and other gems to be set in the ephod and in the breastpiece.

8 Let them make for me a sanctuary, so that I may live among them.

9 According to all that I am showing you--the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings--you must make it exactly so.
