Exodus 25:1-13 ▼

1 AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the Israelites to set aside an offering for me; of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take an offering.

3 And this is the offering which you shall take of them: gold, silver, and brass,

4 Blue, purple, and scarlet, fine linen, and goats' hair,

5 And rams' skins dyed red, skins dyed with vermilion, and shittim wood,

6 Oil for the lamps, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

7 Onyx stones, and precious 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 you, after the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all the vessels thereof, even so shall you make it.

10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.

11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, without and within shall you overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.

12 And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

13 And you shall make poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
