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{+} will take my offering.
3 And this is the offering which you{+} will 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 stay among them.
9 According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture, even so you{+} will make it.
10 And they will make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half will be its length, and a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.
11 And you will overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside you will overlay it, and will make on it a crown of gold round about.
12 And you will cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet of it; and two rings will be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
13 And you will make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
14 And you will put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark.
15 The poles will be in the rings of the ark: they will not be taken from it.
16 And you will put into the ark the testimony which I will give you.
17 And you will make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [will be] its length, and a cubit and a half its width.
18 And you will make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work you will 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{+} will make the cherubim on the two ends of it.
20 And the cherubim will spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat will the faces of the cherubim be.
21 And you will put the mercy-seat above on the ark; and in the ark you will put the testimony that I will 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 will make a table of acacia wood: two cubits [will be] its length, and a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height.
24 And you will overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25 And you will make to it a border of a handbreadth round about; and you will make a golden crown to its border round about.
26 And you will make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it.
27 Close by the border will the rings be, for places for the poles to bear the table.
28 And you will make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29 And you will make its dishes, and its spoons, and its flagons, and its bowls, with which to pour out: of pure gold you will make them.
30 And you will set on the table showbread before me always.
31 And you will make a lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work will the lampstand be made, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, will be of one piece with it.
32 And there will be six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it:
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 lampstand:
34 and in the lampstand four cups made like almond-blossoms, its knops, and its flowers;
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 lampstand.
36 Their knops and their branches will be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.
37 And you will make its lamps, seven: and the lamps will be set up and it will give light in front of it.
38 And its snuffers, and its snuffdishes, will be of pure gold.
39 Of a talent of pure gold it will 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.
