Exodus 25:7-27

7onyx stones and setting stones for the 1ephod and for the 23breastpiece. 8Have them 4construct a sanctuary for Me, 5so that I may dwell among them. 96According 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 7they shall construct an 8ark of acacia wood 9two and a half cubits 10long, one and a half cubits 11wide, and one and a half cubits 12high. 11You shall 13overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding 14around it. 12You shall also cast four gold rings for it and 15fasten 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 16poles shall 17remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16You shall 18put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

17“And you shall 19make 20an atoning cover of pure gold, 21two and a half cubits 22long and one and a half cubits 23wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work 24at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19Make one cherub 25at one end and one cherub 26at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece 27with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20And 28the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and 29facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21Then 30you shall put the atoning cover 31on top of the ark, and 32in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 2233There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from 34between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about 35every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.

23“36You shall also make a table of acacia wood, 37two cubits 38long and one cubit 39wide, and one and a half cubits 40high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 41border around it. 25And you shall make for it a rim of a 42hand width around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around it. 26You shall also make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four legs. 27The rings shall be close to the rim, as holders for the poles to carry the table.
