Exodus 25

²'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.

³'And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold, and silver, and brass,

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

⁵and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

⁶oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the perfume of the spices,

⁷shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

⁸'And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst;

⁹according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make [it].

¹⁰'And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

¹¹and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.

¹²'And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

¹³and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] gold,
