Exodus 35:4-19

4Moses said to all the Israelites, ‘This is what the Lord has commanded:

5Take an offering to give to the Lord from the things that you have. Everyone who wants to give something may choose to give these things: gold, silver, bronze;

6blue, purple and red material; good linen, goats' hair;

7red leather from sheep's skins and other kinds of good leather; acacia wood;

8olive oil for the lamps; spices to make the special oil and the sweet incense;

9onyx stones and other jewels to fix on the ephod and on the breastpiece.

10Every clever person who has special skills must come to help. They must make all these things that the Lord has commanded:

11the tabernacle, with the tent and the other material that covers it; the rings, boards, sticks, poles and bases that are part of the tabernacle;

12the Covenant Box, with its poles, its special lid and the curtain that hides it;

13the special table with its poles and all its dishes; the special bread that you will put on the table for the Lord;

14the lampstand that will give light and its tools; the lamps and the oil for the lamps;

15the altar for incense and its poles; the special oil and the sweet incense; the curtain for the entrance of the tabernacle;

16the altar for burnt offerings and its bronze net; the poles for this altar and all its tools; the large bowl for water and its base;

17the curtains for the yard, its poles and their bases; the curtain for the entrance of the yard;

18pegs to fix the tent to the ground; pegs and ropes to hold the curtain around the yard;

19the special clothes for Aaron and his sons to wear when they serve the Lord as priests in the Holy Place.’
