Exodus 25:1-9

1The Lord said to Moses,

2“Tell the Israelites to choose something to give me as a special contribution. You must accept whatever contribution each person freely gives.

3This is the kind of contribution you will accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze,

4violet, purple, and bright red yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair,

5rams’ skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,

6olive oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense,

7onyx stones, and other precious stones to be set in the ⌞chief priest’s⌟ ephod  and his breastplate.

8“Then have them make a holy place for me, and I will live among them.

9Make the tent and all its furnishings exactly like the plans I am showing you.
