CHAPTER 25

Then the LORD

said

to

Moses,

“Tell

the Israelites

to bring

Me

an offering.

You are to receive

My offering

from every

man

whose

heart

compels him.

This

is the offering

you are to accept

from them:

gold,

silver,

and bronze;

blue,

purple,

and scarlet yarn;

fine linen

and goat hair;

ram

skins

dyed red

and fine leather;

acacia

wood;

oil

for lighting;

spices

for the anointing

oil

and for the fragrant

incense;

and onyx

and other gemstones

to be mounted

on the ephod

and breastpiece.

And they are to make

a sanctuary

for Me,

so that I may dwell

among them.

You must make

the tabernacle

and

design

all

its furnishings

according to

the pattern

I

will show

you.

And they are to construct

an ark

of acacia

wood,

two

and a half cubits

long,

a cubit

and a half

wide,

and a cubit

and a half

high.

Overlay

it with pure

gold

both inside

and out,

and make

a gold

molding

around it.

Cast

four

gold

rings

for it

and fasten them

to

its four

feet,

two

rings

on

one

side

and two

on

the other.

And make

poles

of acacia

wood

and overlay

them with gold.

Insert

the poles

into the rings

on

the sides

of the ark,

in order to carry

the ark.

The poles

are to remain

in the rings

of the ark;

they must not

be removed.

And put

into

the ark

the Testimony,

which

I will give

you.

And you are to make

a mercy seat

of pure

gold,

two

and a half cubits

long

and a cubit

and a half

wide.

And make

two

cherubim

of hammered

gold

at the two

ends

of the mercy seat.

Mold

one

cherub

at

one

end

and a second

cherub

at the other

end;

make

the cherubim

of one piece with the mercy seat.

The cherubim

are to have

wings

spread

upward,

overshadowing

the mercy seat,

and they are to face

one

another.

The faces

of the cherubim

should look

toward

the mercy seat.

Set

the mercy seat

atop

the ark,

and put

the Testimony

that

I will give

you

into

the ark.

And I will meet

with you

there

above

the mercy seat,

between

the two

cherubim

that

are over

the Ark

of the Testimony;

I will commune

with you

about all

that

I command

you regarding

the Israelites.

You are also to make

a table

of acacia

wood,

two cubits

long,

one cubit

wide,

and a cubit

and a half

high.

Overlay

it

with pure

gold

and construct

a gold

border

around it.

Also make

a rim

around it

a handbreadth in width,

and put

a gold

molding

on

the rim.

Make

four

gold

rings

for the table

and attach

the rings

to

the four

corners

at its four

legs.

The rings

are to be

close

to the rim,

to serve as holders

for the poles

to carry

the table.

Make

the poles

of acacia

wood

and overlay

them with gold,

so that the table

may be carried

with them.

You are also to make

the plates

and dishes,

as well as the pitchers

and bowls

for pouring drink offerings.

Make

them out of pure

gold.

And place

the Bread

of the Presence

on

the table

before Me

at all times.

Then you are to make

a lampstand

of pure,

hammered

gold.

It

shall be made

of one piece,

including

its base

and shaft,

its cups,

and its buds

and petals.

Six

branches

are to extend

from the sides

of the lampstand—

three

from one

side

and three

from the other.

There are to be three

cups

shaped like almond blossoms

with buds

and petals

on one

branch,

three

on the next

branch,

and the same

for all six

branches

that extend

from

the lampstand.

And on the lampstand

there shall be four

cups

shaped like almond blossoms

with buds

and petals.

For the six

branches

that extend

from

the lampstand,

a bud

must be under

the first pair

of branches,

a bud

under

the second pair,

and a bud

under

the third pair.

Their buds

and branches

are to be

all

of one piece,

hammered

out of

gold.

Make

seven

lamps

and set them up

on the lampstand

so that they

illuminate

the area

in

front of it.

The wick trimmers

and their trays

must be of pure

gold.

The lampstand

and all

these

utensils

shall be made

from

a talent

of pure

gold.

See that

you make everything

according to the pattern

shown

you

on the mountain.
