¹ Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

² 'Ütle Iisraeli lastele, et nad tooksid mulle tõstelõivu; igaühelt, kes annab heast südamest, võtke minu tõstelõivu.

³ Ja see on tõstelõiv, mida te peate neilt võtma: kulda, hõbedat ja vaske,

⁴ sinist, purpurpunast ja helepunast lõnga ning peent linast lõime, kitsekarvu,

⁵ punaseid jääranahku, merilehmanahku, akaatsiapuud,

⁶ valgustusõli, palsameid võideõliks ja healõhnalisi suitsutusrohte,

⁷ karneoolikive ja ilustuskive õlarüü ja rinnakilbi jaoks.

⁸ Ja nad tehku mulle pühamu, siis ma asun elama nende keskele.

⁹ Tehke täpselt eeskuju järgi, mida ma sulle näitan, elamu ja kõigi selle riistade mudeli järgi!

¹⁰ Laegas tehtagu akaatsiapuust, kaks ja pool küünart pikk, poolteist küünart lai ja poolteist küünart kõrge.

¹¹ Kata see puhta kullaga, kata seest- ja väljastpoolt ja tee sellele kuldpärg ümber!

¹² Vala selle jaoks neli kuldrõngast ja kinnita need ta nelja jala külge, kaks rõngast ühte külge ja kaks rõngast teise külge!

¹³ Tee kandekangid akaatsiapuust ja karda need kullaga!

¹⁴ Pista kangid rõngastesse laeka külgedel, et nendega saaks laegast kanda!

¹⁵ Kangid jäägu laeka rõngastesse, neid ärgu sealt välja võetagu!

¹⁶ Pane laekasse tunnistus, mille ma sulle annan!

¹⁷ Tee puhtast kullast lepituskaas, kaks ja pool küünart pikk ja poolteist küünart lai!

¹⁸ Tee kullast kaks keerubit; tee need sepisena lepituskaane kumbagi otsa!

¹⁹ Pane üks keerub ühte otsa ja teine keerub teise otsa; pange keerubid lepituskaane kumbagi otsa!

²⁰ Keerubid sirutagu oma tiivad ülespoole, et nad tiibadega kataksid lepituskaant, ja nende palged olgu vastamisi; keerubite palged olgu lepituskaane poole!

²¹ Aseta lepituskaas laekale peale ja pane laekasse tunnistus, mille ma sulle annan!

²² Seal ma siis ilmutan ennast sulle ja kõnelen sinuga lepituskaanel mõlema keerubi vahel, mis on tunnistuslaeka peal, kõigest, mida ma sind käsin Iisraeli lastele öelda.

²³ Tee akaatsiapuust laud, kaks küünart pikk, küünar lai ja poolteist küünart kõrge!

²⁴ Karda see puhta kullaga ja tee sellele kuldpärg ümber!

²⁵ Tee sellele kämblalaiune põõn ümber ja tee kuldpärg ümber selle põõna!

²⁶ Tee sellele neli kuldrõngast ja kinnita rõngad nelja nurga külge selle nelja jala juures!

²⁷ Rõngad olgu otse põõna kõrval kangide asemeiks laua kandmisel.

²⁸ Tee laua kandmiseks akaatsiapuust kangid ja karda need kullaga!

²⁹ Tee sellele vaagnad ja kausid, kannud ja peekrid joogiohvri toomiseks; tee need puhtast kullast!

³⁰ Ja pane alati ohvrileibu lauale mu palge ette!

³¹ Tee puhtast kullast lambijalg; see lambijalg olgu sepistatud töö aluse ja harudega; selle karikakesed, nupud ja õiekesed olgu sellega ühest tükist!

³² Selle küljest lähtugu kuus haru: ühest küljest kolm lambijala haru ja teisest küljest kolm lambijala haru!

³³ Ühel harul olgu kolm mandliõiekujulist karikakest nupu ja õiekesega, samuti olgu teisel harul kolm mandliõiekujulist karikakest nupu ja õiekesega; nõnda olgu neil kuuel harul, mis lambijalast lähtuvad.

³⁴ Aga lambijalal enesel olgu neli mandliõiekujulist karikakest nupu ja õiekesega:

³⁵ iga harupaari all olgu üks nupp neil kuuel harul, mis lambijalast lähtuvad.

³⁶ Nupud ja harud olgu sellega ühest tükist terviklik sepisetöö puhtast kullast.

³⁷ Tee sellele seitse lampi; lambid seatagu üles nõnda, et need valgustaksid oma esist!

³⁸ Tahikäärid ja tahikarbid olgu puhtast kullast!

³⁹ See tehtagu ühest talendist puhtast kullast koos kõigi nende riistadega!

⁴⁰ Ja vaata, et sa need teed nende eeskujude järgi, mis sulle mäel näidati!
