Exodus 25

¹And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying, ²Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heare maketh him willing ye shall take my offering. ³And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass, ⁴and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair], ⁵and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood, ⁶oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, ⁷onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate. ⁸And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. ⁹According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it. ¹⁰And 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 breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. ¹¹And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about. ¹²And 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. 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, wherewith to bear the ark. ¹⁵The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. ¹⁶And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. ¹⁷And 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 breadth thereof. ¹⁸And thou shall make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shall you make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat. ¹⁹And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. ²⁰And 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. ²¹And thou shall put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark you shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. ²²And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. ²³And you shall make a table of acacia wood: two cubits [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. ²⁴And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. ²⁵And you shall make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about; and you shall make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. ²⁶And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. ²⁷Close by the border shall the rings be, for places for the staves to bear the table. ²⁸And you shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. ²⁹And you shall make the dishes thereof, and the spoons thereof, and the flagons thereof, and the bowls thereof, wherewith to pour out: of pure gold shall you make them. ³⁰And you shall set upon the table showbread before me alway. ³¹And 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. ³²And 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: ³³three 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: ³⁴and in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof; ³⁵and 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. ³⁶Their knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold. ³⁷And you shalt make the lamps thereof, seven: and they shall light the lamps thereof, to give light over against it. ³⁸And the snuffers thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. ³⁹Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels. ⁴⁰And see that you make them after their pattern, which hath been showed thee in the mount.
