Exodus 25

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take my offering.

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

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

⁵and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood,

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

⁷onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

⁸And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

⁹According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it.

¹⁰And they shall make an ark of acacia 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.

¹¹And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

¹²And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

¹³And thou shalt make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
