And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses , saying,
2
`Speak unto the sons of Israel , and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.
3
`And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold , and silver , and brass ,
4
and blue , and purple , and scarlet, and linen , and goats ' [hair],
5
and rams ' skins made red, and badgers' skins , and shittim wood ,
6
oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil , and for the perfume of the spices ,
7
shoham stones , and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
8
`And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst ;
9
according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels , even so ye do make [it].
10
`And they have made an ark of shittim wood ; two cubits and a half its length , and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height ;
11
and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold , within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about .
12
`And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold , and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side , and two rings on its second side ;
13
and thou hast made staves of shittim wood , and hast overlaid them [with] gold ,
14
and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark , to bear the ark by them,
15
in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it;
16
and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.
17
`And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold , two cubits and a half its length , and a cubit and a half its breadth;
18
and thou hast made two cherubs of gold , beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat ;
19
and make thou one cherub at the end on this side , and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.
20
`And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high , covering the mercy-seat over with their wings , and their faces [are] one towards another -- towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs .
21
`And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee;
22
and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs , which [are] on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel .
23
`And thou hast made a table of shittim wood , two cubits its length , and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height ,
24
and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold , and hast made for it a crown of gold round about ,
25
and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about .
26
`And thou hast made to it four rings of gold , and hast put the rings on the four corners, which [are] to its four feet ;
27
over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table ;
28
and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood , and hast overlaid them with gold , and the table hath been borne with them;
29
and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them;
30
and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.
31
`And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold , of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same;
32
and six branches are coming out of its sides , three branches of the candlestick out of the one side , and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side ;
33
three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower , and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower ; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick .
34
`And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like almonds , its knops and its flowers ;
35
and 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, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick ;
36
their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold ;
37
and thou hast made its seven lamps , and [one] hath caused its lights to go up , and it hath given light over-against its front.
38
`And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold ;
39
of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels .
40
And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount .
