Exodus 25:1-11

1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take my offering.

3And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass;

4and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair;

5and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood;

6oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense;

7onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

8And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

9According to all that I shew thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it.

10And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

11And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
