¹ Then the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying,² Speake vnto the children of Israel, that they receiue an offring for me: of euery man, whose heart giueth it freely, ye shall take the offring for me.³ And this is the offring which ye shal take of them, golde, and siluer, and brasse,⁴ And blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine linnen, and goates heare,⁵ And rammes skinnes coloured red, and the skinnes of badgers, and the wood Shittim,⁶ Oyle for the light, spices for anoynting oyle, and for the perfume of sweete sauour,⁷ Onix stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the brest plate.⁸ Also they shall make me a Sanctuarie, that I may dwell among them.⁹ According to all that I shewe thee, euen so shall ye make the forme of the Tabernacle, and the facion of all the instruments thereof.

¹⁰ They shall make also an Arke of Shittim wood, two cubites and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie.¹¹ And thou shalt ouerlay it with pure golde: within and without shalt thou ouerlay it, & shalt make vpon it a crowne of golde rounde about.¹² And thou shalt cast foure rings of golde for it, and put them in the foure corners thereof: that is, two rings shalbe on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side thereof.¹³ And thou shalt make barres of Shittim wood, and couer them with golde.¹⁴ Then thou shalt put the barres in the rings by the sides of the Arke, to beare the Arke with them.¹⁵ The barres shalbe in the rings of the Arke: they shall not be taken away from it.¹⁶ So thou shalt put in the Arke the Testimonie which I shall giue thee.¹⁷ Also thou shalt make a Mercie seate of pure golde, two cubites and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade.¹⁸ And thou shalt make two Cherubims of golde: of worke beaten out wt the hammer shalt thou make the at ye two endes of the Merciseate.¹⁹ And the one Cherub shalt thou make at the one ende, and the other Cherub at the other ende: of the matter of the Mercieseate shall ye make the Cherubims, on the two endes thereof.²⁰ And the Cherubims shall stretche their winges on hie, couering the Mercie seate with their winges, and their faces one to another: to the Mercie seate warde shal the faces of the Cherubims be.²¹ And thou shalt put the Mercieseate aboue vpon the Arke, and in the Arke thou shalt put the Testimonie, which I will giue thee,²² And there I will declare my selfe vnto thee, & from aboue ye Mercieseate betweene ye two Cherubims, which are vpon ye Arke of ye Testimonie, I wil tel thee al things which I wil giue thee in comandement vnto ye children of Israel.

²³ Thou shalt also make a Table of Shittim wood, of two cubites long, and one cubite broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie:²⁴ And thou shalt couer it with pure gold, & make thereto a crowne of golde round about.²⁵ Thou shalt also make vnto it a border of foure fingers roud about and thou shalt make a golden crowne round about the border thereof.²⁶ After, thou shalt make for it foure ringes of golde, and shalt put the rings in the foure corners that are in the foure feete thereof:²⁷ Ouer against the border shall the rings be for places for barres, to beare the Table.²⁸ And thou shalt make the barres of Shittim wood, and shalt ouerlay them with golde, that the Table may be borne with them.²⁹ Thou shalt make also dishes for it, and incense cuppes for it, and couerings for it, & goblets, wherewith it shall be couered, euen of fine golde shalt thou make them.³⁰ And thou shalt set vpon the Table shewe bread before me continually.

³¹ Also thou shalt make a Candlesticke of pure golde: of worke beaten out with the hammer shall the Candlesticke be made, his shaft, & his branches, his boules, his knops: and his floures shalbe of the same.³² Six braunches also shall come out of the sides of it: three branches of the Candlesticke out of the one side of it, & three branches of the Candlesticke out of the other side of it.³³ Three boules like vnto almondes, one knop and one floure in one braunch: and three boules like almondes in the other branch, one knop and one floure: so throughout the sixe branches that come out of the Candlesticke.³⁴ And in the shaft of the Candlesticke shalbe foure boules like vnto almondes, his knops & his floures.³⁵ And there shalbe a knop vnder two branches made thereof: and a knop vnder two branches made thereof: and a knop vnder two branches made thereof, according to the sixe branches comming out of the Candlesticke.³⁶ Their knops and their branches shall bee thereof. all this shalbe one beaten worke of pure golde.³⁷ And thou shalt make the seuen lampes thereof: and the lampes thereof shalt thou put theron, to giue light toward that that is before it.³⁸ Also the snuffers and snuffedishes thereof shalbe of pure golde.³⁹ Of a talent of fine gold shalt thou make it with all these instruments.⁴⁰ Looke therefore that thou make them after their facion, that was shewed thee in the mountaine.
