| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze; |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair; |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood; |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, in order to carry it. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16And place inside the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat, |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20And the cherubim are to have wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the mercy seat. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Set the mercy seat atop the ark, and put the Testimony that I will give you into the ark. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23You are also to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners at its four legs. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27The rings are to be close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29You are also to make the plates and dishes, as well as the pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Then you are to make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. It shall be made of one piece, including its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extend from the lampstand. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34And on the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36The buds and branches are to be all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Make seven lamps and set them up on the lampstand so that they illuminate the area in front of it. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38The wick trimmers and their trays must be of pure gold. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39The lampstand and all these utensils shall be made from a talent of pure gold. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain. |
