Exodus 25

¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me a heave-offering: of every one whose heart prompteth him, ye shall take my heave-offering.

³And this is the heave-offering that ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and copper,

⁴and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and byssus, and goats' [hair],

⁵and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins; and acacia-wood;

⁶oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs;

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

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

⁹According to all that I shall shew thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the utensils thereof, even so shall ye make [it].

¹⁰And they shall make an ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half 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: inside and outside shalt thou overlay it; and shalt make upon it a border of gold round about.

¹²And cast four rings of gold for it, and put [them] at the four corners thereof, that two rings may be upon the one side thereof and two rings upon the other side thereof.

¹³And make staves of acacia-wood and overlay them with gold.
