Exodus 25:1-22

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“1Tell the sons of Israel to take a 2contribution for Me; 3from everyone whose heart moves him you shall take My 4contribution. 3This is the 5contribution which you are to take from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 467violet, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, 5rams’ skins dyed red, 8fine leather, acacia wood, 69oil for lighting, 10balsam oil for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7onyx stones and setting stones for the 11ephod and for the 1213breastpiece. 8Have them 14construct a sanctuary for Me, 15so that I may dwell among them. 916According to all that I am going to show you as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, so you shall construct it.

10“Now 17they shall construct an 18ark of acacia wood 19two and a half cubits 20long, one and a half cubits 21wide, and one and a half cubits 22high. 11You shall 23overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding 24around it. 12You shall also cast four gold rings for it and 25fasten them on its four feet; two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 13And you 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 26poles shall 27remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16You shall 28put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

17“And you shall 29make 30an atoning cover of pure gold, 31two and a half cubits 32long and one and a half cubits 33wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work 34at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19Make one cherub 35at one end and one cherub 36at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece 37with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20And 38the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and 39facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21Then 40you shall put the atoning cover 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 atoning cover, from 44between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about 45every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.
