Exodus 35:4-19

4Then Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded:

5Choose something of your own to give as a special contribution to the Lord. Let everyone who is willing bring this kind of contribution to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze,

6violet, purple, and bright red yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair,

7rams’ skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,

8olive oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense,

9onyx stones, and other precious stones to be set in the ⌞chief priest’s⌟ ephod  and breastplate.

10“Have all the skilled craftsmen among you come and make everything the Lord has commanded:

11the inner tent, the outer tent, and cover, along with the fasteners, frames, crossbars, posts, and sockets,

12the ark with its poles, the throne of mercy and the canopy over it,

13the table with its poles, all the dishes, the bread of the presence,

14the lamp stand used for the light with its utensils, its lamps and the olive oil for the lamps,

15the altar for incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet-smelling incense, the screen for the entrance to the tent,

16the altar for burnt offerings with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its accessories, the basin with its stand,

17the curtains for the courtyard, the posts, bases, and the screen for the entrance to the courtyard,

18the pegs for the tent and the courtyard with their ropes,

19the special clothes worn for official duties in the holy place—both the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons when they serve as priests.”
