Exodus 25:1-9

1The Lord said to Moses,

2“Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give.

3These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze;

4blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair;

5ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather; acacia wood;

6olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

7and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

8“Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.

9Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.
