Exodus 25

And God spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they shall take a contribution for me. You shall take my contribution from every man whose heart incites him. \*

And these are the contributions that you shall receive from them: gold and silver and bronze

and blue and purple and worm of scarlet and fine linen and goats’ hair

and reddened hides of rams and hides of sea cows and wood of acacias, \*

oil for the light; spices for the oil of anointing and for the incense of fragrance;

stones of onyx and precious stones for settings for the ephod and for the breastpiece. \*

And they shall make a sanctuary for me, and I shall live in their midst,

according to all that I am about to show you—the pattern of the Dwelling and the pattern of all of its utensils—and thus you shall make it. \*

And they shall make a box of wood of acacias—its length: two cubits and a half; and its width: one cubit and a half; and its height: one cubit and a half.

And you shall overlay it {with} pure gold, inside and outside you shall overlay it, and you shall make on it a border of gold around {it}. \*

And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put {them} on its four feet: two rings on its one side and two rings on its second side.

And you shall make poles of wood of acacias and overlay them {with} gold.

And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the box, to carry the box with them. \*

The poles shall be in the rings of the box; they shall not be removed from it.

And you shall put into the box the Testimony that I give to you. \*

And you shall make an atonement lid of pure gold—its length: two cubits and a half; and its width: a cubit and a half.

And you shall make two gold cherubim. You shall make them of hammered work from the two ends of the atonement lid. \*

And make one cherub from this end and one cherub from this end. You shall make the cherubim from the atonement lid on its two ends.

And the cherubim shall be spreading out their wings upward, covering over the atonement lid with their wings and their faces {shall} each {be} toward his brother. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the atonement lid. \*

And you shall put the atonement lid on the box from above, and you shall put into the box the Testimony that I give to you.

And I will meet with you there and I will speak with you all that I will command you for the sons of Israel from above the atonement lid, from between the two cherubim which are above the Box of the Testimony. \*

And you shall make a table from wood of acacias. Its length: two cubits, and its width: a cubit, and its height: a cubit and a half.

And you shall overlay it {with} pure gold, and you shall make for it a border of gold around {it}.

And you shall make a rim for it, a handbreadth all around, and you shall make a border of gold around its rim. \*

And you shall make four rings of gold for it and put the rings on the four corners, where its four legs are.

The rings shall be close to the rim to house the poles to carry the table.

And you shall make the poles {out of} wood of acacias and cover them {with} gold, and the table shall be carried with them. \*

And you shall make its plates and its pans and its pitchers and its bowls with which it will be poured out. You shall make them {from} pure gold.

And you shall continually put the bread of faces on the table before my face. \*

And you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand—its base and its shaft—shall be made of hammered work. Its cups, its buds, and its blossoms shall be from it.

And six branches go out from its sides—three branches of the lampstand from the one side and three branches of the lampstand from the second side. \*

Three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, shall be on the one branch, a bulb, and a blossom. And three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, shall be on the one branch, a bulb, and a blossom—thus for the six branches going out from the lampstand. \*

And on the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms {with} its bulbs and its blossoms,

And a bulb will be under two of the branches from it, and a bulb will be under two of the branches from it, and a bulb will be under two of the branches from it—for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.

Their bulbs and their branches from it shall all be one piece of hammered work of pure gold. \*

And you shall make its seven lamps, and it will hold up its lamps, and it will make light on the side of its face.

And {make} its tongs and its trays of pure gold.

He shall make it, all these items, from a talent of pure gold. \*

See and make by the pattern that you are being shown on the mountain. \*
