1 What the Israelites must offer for the making of the Tabernacle. 10 The form of the Ark. 17 The Mercy-seat, with the Cherubim. 23 The table, with the furniture thereof. 31 The candlestick, with the instruments thereof.

¹ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

² Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering.

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

⁴ And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

⁵ And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,

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

⁷ Onyx stones, and 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 instruments thereof, even so shall you make it. ¶

¹⁰ And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

¹¹ And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and shall make on 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 shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.

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

¹⁴ And you shall put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.

¹⁵ The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.

¹⁶ And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

¹⁷ And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

¹⁸ And you shall make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

¹⁹ And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

²⁰ And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.

²¹ And you shall put the mercy seat above on the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.

²² And there I will meet with you, and I will commune with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel. ¶

²³ You shall also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

²⁴ And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.

²⁵ And you shall make to it a border of an hand breadth round about, and you shall make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.

²⁶ And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.

²⁷ Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.

²⁸ And you shall make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

²⁹ And you shall make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover with: of pure gold shall you make them.

³⁰ And you shall set on the table show bread before me always. ¶

³¹ And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.

³² And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:

³³ Three bowls made like to almonds, with a bud and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a bud and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.

³⁴ And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like to almonds, with their knops and their flowers.

³⁵ And there shall be a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.

³⁶ Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.

³⁷ And you shall make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.

³⁸ And the tongs thereof, and the firepans thereof, shall be of pure gold.

³⁹ Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

⁴⁰ And look that you make them after their pattern, which was showed you in the mount.
