Exodus 25:1-9 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Tell the sons of Israel to take a contribution for Me; from everyone whose heart moves him you shall take My contribution.

3 This is the contribution which you are to take from them: gold, silver, and bronze,

4 violet, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair,

5 rams’ skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,

6 oil for lighting, balsam oil for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

7 onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastpiece.

8 Have them construct a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

9 According to all that I am going to show you as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, so you shall construct it.
