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 show 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 cherubim 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 cherubim on the two ends thereof. |
20. |
And the cherubim 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 cherubim 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 cherubim 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 showbread before me always. |
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 candlesticks 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 showed thee in the mount. |
