Exodus 25

1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,2 Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering.3 And this is the offering which you shall take of them: gold, and silver, and bronze,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 you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so you shall 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 width thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a crown of gold round about.12 And you shall 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 you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.14 And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark.15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.16 And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.17 And you shall make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the width thereof.18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work you shall make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.19 And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat you shall make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.20 And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.21 And you shall put the mercy-seat above on the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.22 And there I will meet with you, and I will commune with you from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment to the sons of Israel.

23 And you shall make a table of acacia wood: two cubits [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit the width thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.24 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.25 And you shall make to it a border of a handbreadth round about; and you shall make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.26 And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.27 Close by the border shall the rings be, for places for the poles to bear the table.28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.29 And you shall make the dishes thereof, and the spoons thereof, and the flagons thereof, and the bowls thereof, with which to pour out: of pure gold you shall make them.30 And you shall set on the table showbread before me always.

31 And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.32 And there shall be six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:33 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the candlestick:34 and in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof;35 and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick.36 Their knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.37 And you shall make the lamps thereof, seven: and the lamps shall be set up and it shall give light in front of it.38 And the snuffers thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.39 Of a talent of pure gold it shall be made, with all these vessels.40 And see that you make them after their pattern, which has been shown to you in the mount.
