Exodus 35:4-19

4Then Moses said to the whole community of Israel, “This is what the Lord has commanded:

5Take a sacred offering for the Lord. Let those with generous hearts present the following gifts to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze;

6blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth;

7tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather; acacia wood;

8olive oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense;

9onyx stones, and other gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

10“Come, all of you who are gifted craftsmen. Construct everything that the Lord has commanded:

11the Tabernacle and its sacred tent, its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts, and bases;

12the Ark and its carrying poles; the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement; the inner curtain to shield the Ark;

13the table, its carrying poles, and all its utensils; the Bread of the Presence;

14for light, the lampstand, its accessories, the lamp cups, and the olive oil for lighting;

15the incense altar and its carrying poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the entrance of the Tabernacle;

16the altar of burnt offering; the bronze grating of the altar and its carrying poles and utensils; the washbasin with its stand;

17the curtains for the walls of the courtyard; the posts and their bases; the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard;

18the tent pegs of the Tabernacle and courtyard and their ropes;

19the beautifully stitched garments for the priests to wear while ministering in the Holy Place—the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests.”
