And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, |
2. |
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering. |
3. |
`And this `is' the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold, and silver, and brass, |
4. |
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' `hair', |
5. |
and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, |
6. |
oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the perfume of the spices, |
7. |
shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate. |
8. |
`And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst; |
9. |
according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make `it'. |
10. |
`And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height; |
11. |
and thou hast overlaid it `with' pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about. |
12. |
`And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put `them' on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side; |
13. |
and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them `with' gold, |
14. |
and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them, |
15. |
in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it; |
16. |
and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee. |
17. |
`And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth; |
18. |
and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; |
19. |
and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends. |
20. |
`And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces `are' one towards another -- towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs. |
21. |
`And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee; |
22. |
and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which `are' on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel. |
23. |
`And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height, |
24. |
and hast overlaid it `with' pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about, |
25. |
and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about. |
26. |
`And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put the rings on the four corners, which `are' to its four feet; |
27. |
over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table; |
28. |
and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them; |
29. |
and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them; |
30. |
and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually. |
31. |
`And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same; |
32. |
and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side; |
33. |
three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick. |
34. |
`And in the candlestick `are' four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers; |
35. |
and 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, `are' to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick; |
36. |
their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold; |
37. |
and thou hast made its seven lamps, and `one' hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front. |
38. |
`And its snuffers and its snuff dishes `are' of pure gold; |
39. |
of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels. |
40. |
And see thou and do `them' by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount. |
