“1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of
Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it
willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. 3 And this [is] the
offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, 4 And
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ [hair], 5 And
rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood, 6 Oil for
the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, 7 Onyx
stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. 8 And
let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. 9 According
to all that I shew thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the
pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it].”
“10 And they shall make an ark [of] shittim 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. 11 And thou shalt
overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and
shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. 12 And thou shalt cast
four rings of gold for it, and put [them] in the four corners thereof;
and two rings [shall be] in the one side of it, and two rings in the
other side of it. 13 And thou shalt make staves [of] shittim wood, and
overlay them with gold. 14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings
by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. 15 The
staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from
it. 16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give
thee. 17 And thou shalt 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. 18 And thou shalt make two cherubims [of] gold, [of] beaten
work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 And
make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end:
[even] of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends
thereof. 20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth [their] wings on high,
covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces [shall look]
one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims
be. 21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the
ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I
will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy
seat, from between the two cherubims which [are] upon the ark of the
testimony, of all [things] which I will give thee in commandment unto
the children of Israel.”
“23 Thou shalt also make a table [of] shittim wood: two cubits [shall
be] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and
a half the height thereof. 24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold,
and make thereto a crown of gold round about. 25 And thou shalt make
unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a
golden crown to the border thereof round about. 26 And thou shalt make
for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that
[are] on the four feet thereof. 27 Over against the border shall the
rings be for places of the staves to bear the table. 28 And thou shalt
make the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the
table may be borne with them. 29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof,
and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover
withal: [of] pure gold shalt thou make them. 30 And thou shalt set upon
the table shewbread before me alway.”
“31 And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work
shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls,
his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. 32 And six branches
shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out
of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other
side: 33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, [with] a knop and a flower
in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch,
[with] a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the
candlestick. 34 And in the candlestick [shall be] four bowls made like
unto almonds, [with] their knops and their flowers. 35 And [there shall
be] a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches
of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the
six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. 36 Their knops and
their branches shall be of the same: all it [shall be] one beaten work
[of] pure gold. 37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they
shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, [shall be of]
pure gold. 39 [Of] a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all
these vessels. 40 And look that thou make [them] after their pattern,
which was shewed thee in the mount.” (Ex 25:1-40 AV)
