Exodus 25:1-12 ▼

1 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Moses (drawn out),

2 “Tell the Israelites (God prevails) to bring Me an offering. You⁺ are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him.

3 This is the offering you⁺ are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;

4 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

5 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

6 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

7 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

8 And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

9 You⁺ must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.

10 And 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 <3.75 ft x 2.25 ft x 2.25 ft / 114.3 cm x 68.6 cm x 68.6 cm>.

11 Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.

12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.
