1And Jehovah spake unto Moses , saying , 2Speak unto the children of Israel , that they take for me an offering : of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take my offering . 3And this is the offering which ye shall take of them : gold , and silver , and brass , 4and blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine linen , and goats ’ hair , 5and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood , 6oil for the light , spices for the anointing oil , and for the sweet incense , 7onyx stones, and stones to be set , for the ephod, and for the breastplate . 8And let them make me a sanctuary , that I may dwell among them . 9According to all that I show thee , the pattern of the tabernacle , and the pattern of all the furniture thereof , even so shall ye make it .
The Ark of the Covenant
10And they shall make an ark of acacia 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 . 11And 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 . 12And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it , and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it , and two rings on the other side of it . 13And thou shalt make staves of acacia wood , and overlay them with gold . 14And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, wherewith to bear the ark. 15The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it . 16And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee . 17And 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 . 18And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold ; of beaten work shalt thou make them , at the two ends of the mercy-seat. 19And make one cherub at the one end , and one cherub at the other end : of one piece with the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. 20And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high , covering the mercy-seat with their wings , with their faces one to another ; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be . 21And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee . 22And there I will meet with thee , and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony , of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel .
