Exodus 25:1-9 ▼

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Tell the Israelites 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.
