**1 **And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, **2 **Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. **3 **And this *is* the offering which ye 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 shew thee, *after* the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye 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 thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. **12 **And thou shalt 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. **13 **And thou shalt make staves *of* shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. **14 **And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. **15 **The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. **16 **And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

**17 **And thou shalt 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 thou shalt make two cherubims *of* gold, *of* beaten work shalt thou 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 ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. **20 **And the cherubims 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 cherubims be. **21 **And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. **22 **And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which *are* upon the ark of the testimony, of all *things* which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

**23 **Thou shalt 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. **24 **And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. **25 **And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. **26 **And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that *are* on the four feet thereof. **27 **Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table. **28 **And thou shalt make the staves *of* shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. **29 **And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: *of* pure gold shalt thou make them. **30 **And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.

**31 **And thou shalt make a candlestick *of* pure gold: *of* beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. **32 **And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: **33 **Three bowls made like unto almonds, *with* a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, *with* a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. **34 **And in the candlestick *shall be* four bowls made like unto almonds, *with* their knops and their flowers. **35 **And *there shall be* a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. **36 **Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it *shall be* one beaten work *of* pure gold. **37 **And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. **38 **And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, *shall be of* pure gold. **39 ***Of* a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. **40 **And look that thou make *them* after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
