1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
2: Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of
every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
|
|
3:
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and
silver, and brass, |
|
4: And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
|
|
5: And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
|
|
6: Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
|
|
7: Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the
breastplate. |
|
8: And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
|
|
9: According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the
tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye
make it. |
|
10: And they shall make an ark of shittim 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. |
|
11: And 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. |
|
12: And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the
four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two
rings in the other side of it. |
|
13: And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold. |
|
14: And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark,
that the ark may be borne with them. |
|
15: The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken
from it. |
|
16: And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give
thee. |
|
17: And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. |
|
18: And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou
make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. |
|
19: And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other
end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
|
|
20: And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering
the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another;
toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. |
|
21: And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark
thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. |
|
22: And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from
above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of
the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the
children of Israel. |
|
23: Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof. |
|
24: And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of
gold round about. |
|
25: And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about,
and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. |
|
26: And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in
the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. |
|
27: Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves
to bear the table. |
|
28: And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold, that the table may be borne with them. |
|
29: And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and
covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make
them. |
|
30: And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me always.
|
|
31: And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall
the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and
his flowers, shall be of the same. |
|
32: And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of
the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out
of the other side: |
|
33: Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one
branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a
flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. |
|
34: And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds,
with their knops and their flowers. |
|
35: And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop
under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. |
|
36: Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be
one beaten work of pure gold |
|
37: And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the
lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. |
|
38: And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure
gold. |
|
39: Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
|
|
40: And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed
thee in the mount. |
