Exodus 25:1-9

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Tell the children of Israel to take an offering for Me. From every man whose heart moves him [to give willingly] you shall take My offering.

3This is the offering you are to receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze,

4blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, fine twisted linen, goats’ hair,

5rams’ skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia wood,

6[olive] oil for lighting, balsam for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

7onyx stones and setting stones for the [priest’s] ephod and for the breastpiece.

8Have them build a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

9You shall construct it in accordance with everything that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture.
