1And the LORD said to Moses, 2“Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering: you shall take My offering from everyone whose heart prompts them to give it willingly. 3And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, bronze, 4Blue, purple, and scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair, 5Rams' skins dyed red, badgers' skins, acacia wood, 6Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, 7Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. 8And have them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. 9Make the tabernacle and all its furnishings according to all the pattern that I show you.

10“And have them make an ark of acacia wood: two and a half cubits (3 feet 9 inches) in length, a cubit and a half (2 feet 3 inches) wide, and a cubit and a half (2 feet 3 inches) its height. 11And you shall overlay it with pure gold; overlay it both inside and outside; and make a gold rim around it. 12And cast four gold rings for it, and attach them to its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings in the other side. 13And you shall make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14And you shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, so that the ark may be carried by them. 15The staves shall remain in the rings of the ark, and not be removed from it. 16And you shall put the tablets of the testimony, which I shall give, you inside the ark. 17And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold: two and a half cubits (3 feet 9 inches) long, and a cubit and a half (2 feet 3 inches) wide. 18And you shall make two cherubim of gold: of beaten work shall you make them, at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end of the mercy seat, all of one piece. 20And the two cherubim shall spread their wings upward and over the mercy seat, and they shall face each other and the mercy seat. 21And you shall place the mercy seat on top of the ark; and in the ark you shall put the tablets of the testimony that I shall give you. 22And I will meet with you there, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim which are upon the Ark of the Covenant, and I will speak to you and give you instructions for the children of Israel.

23“You shall also make a table of acacia wood: two cubits (3 feet) shall be its length, and a cubit (1 foot 6 inches) its width, and a cubit and a half (2 feet 3 inches) its height. 24And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it. 25And you shall make a hand breadth (6 inches) wide rim around its edges. 26And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners where its four legs are. 27The rings are to be attached to the rim, for places for the staves to bear the table. 28And you shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried by them. 29And you shall make its dishes, spoons, covers, and bowls, with which to pour, out of pure gold. 30And you shall always set showbread (Bread of Presence) upon the table before Me.

31“And you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand shall be made of beaten work; its shaft, its branches, bowls, knobs, and its flowers, shall be of beaten gold work. 32And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches on one side, and three on the other side of the lampstand: 33Three cups shaped like almond blossoms, with a bud and a flower in one branch; and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that come out of the lampstand. 34And on the center stem of the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with their buds and their blossoms. 35And there shall be a bud under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand; and a bud under the next pair of branches extending from the lampstand, and a bud under the third pair of branches extending from the lampstand. 36Their buds and their branches shall all be the same: all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. 37And you shall make its seven lamps; that they may shed light upon the area in front of it. 38And its tongs and its snuff dishes, shall be of pure gold. 39A talent of pure gold shall be used to make it, with all its accessories. 40And be sure that you make them after their pattern, which was shown you on the mount.
