1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering; from every man who is hard work, shall take my offering.
3 This is the offering which you shall take from them: gold and silver and copper,
4 and [wool] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5 and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, and acacia wood,
6 oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7 onyx stones, and stones set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8 And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them;
9 all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, and do.

10 Make an ark of acacia wood: the length of it two cubits and a half, and the width of his half cubits, and the height of his half elbow;
eleven and thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou him; and shalt make upon it a crown of gold.
12 and thou shalt cast for it four rings of gold, and in the four corners thereof: two rings on one side, and two rings on its other side.
13 Make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold;
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark by them;
15 in the rings of the Ark the poles are to be and should not be taken from it.
16 And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17 Make a mercy seat of pure gold: the length of it two cubits and a half and its width six cubits;
18 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold: of beaten work shalt thou make them on both ends of the cover;
19 Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; [Outstanding] from the cover make the cherubim on its two ends;
20 And the cherubim shall spread out their wings, covering with their wings over the cover, and their faces [are] to each other: the cover shall the faces of the cherubim.
21 And put the mercy seat on the ark above, in the ark you shall put the testimony which I shall give thee
22 there I will meet with you and speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give commandment unto the children of Israel by thee.

23 And thou shalt make a table of acacia wood, in length two cubits, and the breadth a cubit, and its height one and a half cubits,
24 and thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold.
25 and make thereto a border of an hand, and thou shalt make a golden crown around;
26 And you shall make four rings of gold and put the rings in the four corners at the four feet thereof;
27 when the walls of the ring should be so puts the staves to bear the table;
28 and shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and will wear them on this table;
29 do the dishes, and his spoons, and bowls to pour them of pure gold shalt thou make them;
thirty and set upon the table shewbread before me continually.

31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold; beaten work shall be this light; his shaft, branches, his bowls, his apples and his flowers, shall come out of it;
32 And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof;
33 three cups made like almonds, an apple and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in [all] the six branches going out of the candlestick;
34 and on [the stem] candlesticks shall be four bowls made like almonds with apples and flowers;
35 have six branches coming out of the [stem] lamp, an apple under two branches of it, and a pomegranate under two other branches, and an apple under the [third] two branches of it.
36 Apples and their branches from it should go: all it [should] [be] one beaten work of pure gold.
37 And thou shalt make its seven lamps and put it its lamps to light in front of it;
38 and the snuffers and trays shall be of pure gold;
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these accessories.
40 See that you make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
