Exodus 25:1-9 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses: “

2 Tell the Israelites to take an offering for Me. You are to take My offering from everyone who is willing to give.

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

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

5 ram skins dyed red and manatee skins; acacia wood;

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

7 and onyx along with other gemstones for mounting on the ephod and breastpiece.”

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

9 You must make it according to all that I show you—the pattern of the tabernacle as well as the pattern of all its furnishings.”
