• 1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  • 2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering.
  • 3 And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
  • 4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
  • 5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
  • 6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
  • 7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
  • 8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
  • 9 According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall you make it.
  • 10 And they shall make an ark of shittim 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.
  • 11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and shall make on it a crown of gold round about.
  • 12 And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.

  • 15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
  • 16 And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
  • 17 And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
  • 18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
  • 19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
  • 20 And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
  • 21 And you shall put the mercy seat above on the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.
  • 22 And there I will meet with you, and I will commune with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
  • 23 You shall also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

  • 27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
  • 28 And you shall make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
