Exodus 25:1-22

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“1Tell the sons of Israel to 2raise a 3contribution for Me; 4from every man whose heart moves him you shall 5raise My 6contribution. 3This is the 7contribution which you are to 8raise from them: gold, silver and bronze, 4910blue, purple and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, 5rams’ skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia wood, 611oil for lighting, 12spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7onyx stones and setting stones for the 13ephod and for the 1415breastpiece. 8Let them 16construct a sanctuary for Me, 17that I may dwell among them. 918According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it.

10“19They shall construct an ark of acacia wood two and a half 20cubits 21long, and one and a half cubits 22wide, and one and a half cubits 23high. 11You shall 24overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding 25around it. 12You shall cast four gold rings for it and 26fasten them on its four feet, and two rings shall be on one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. 13You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them. 15The 27poles shall 28remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16You shall 29put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

17“You shall 30make a 31mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half 32cubits 33long and one and a half cubits 34wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work 35at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub 36at one end and one cherub 37at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 2038The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and 39facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 2140You shall put the mercy seat 41on top of the ark, and 42in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 2243There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from 44between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.
