Exodus 25:7-27

7onyx stones and setting stones for the 1ephod and for the 2 3breastpiece. 8Let them 4construct a sanctuary for Me, 5that I may dwell among them. 9 6According 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“7They shall construct an ark of acacia wood two and a half 8cubits 9long, and one and a half cubits 10wide, and one and a half cubits 11high. 11You shall 12overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding 13around it. 12You shall cast four gold rings for it and 14fasten 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 15poles shall 16remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16You shall 17put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

17“You shall 18make a 19mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half 20cubits 21long and one and a half cubits 22wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work 23at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub 24at one end and one cherub 25at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 20 26The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and 27facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 21 28You shall put the mercy seat 29on top of the ark, and 30in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 22 31There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from 32between 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.

23“33You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits 34long and one cubit 35wide and one and a half cubits 36high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 37border around it. 25You shall make for it a rim of a handbreadth around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around it. 26You shall make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four feet. 27The rings shall be close to the rim as holders for the poles to carry the table.
