1And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying:
2Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take for me an offering; from every man (ish) whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering.
3And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze;
4and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair;
5and rams' skins dyed red, and skins of tachash, and acacia wood;
6oil for the light, spices for the oil of anointing, and for the incense of the spices;
7stones of onyx, and stones of setting, for the ephod and for the breastplate.
8And they shall make for me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst.
9According to all that I show you—the pattern of the tabernacle (mishkan), and the pattern of all its vessels—even so you shall make it.
10And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
11And you shall overlay it with pure gold; within and without you shall overlay it; and you shall make upon it a rim of gold round about.
12And you shall cast for it four rings of gold, and put them on its four feet; and two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.
13And you shall make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
14And you shall bring the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them.
15In the rings of the ark shall the staves be; they shall not be removed from it.
16And you shall put into the ark the testimony (edut) which I shall give to you.
17And you shall make a cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
18And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work you shall make them, from the two ends of the cover.
19And make one cherub from the one end, and one cherub from the other end; from the cover you shall make the cherubim on its two ends.
20And the cherubim shall be spreading out wings on high, covering with their wings over the cover; and their faces a man (ish) toward his brother; toward the cover shall the faces of the cherubim be.
21And you shall put the cover upon the ark from above; and into the ark you shall put the testimony (edut) which I shall give to you.
22And I will meet with you there, and I will speak with you from above the cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony (edut), all that I will command (tzivvah) you to the sons of Israel.
23And you shall make a table of acacia wood: two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
24And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make for it a rim of gold round about.
25And you shall make for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and you shall make a rim of gold for its border round about.
26And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four feet.
27Close by the border shall the rings be, for holders for the staves, to carry the table.
28And you shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.
29And you shall make its dishes, and its pans, and its jars, and its bowls, with which it shall be poured out; of pure gold you shall make them.
30And you shall set upon the table bread of the Presence before my face continually.
31And you shall make a lampstand of pure gold; of beaten work shall the lampstand be made—its base and its shaft; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers shall be from it.
32And six branches going out from its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side;
33three cups shaped like almonds in the one branch, a knob and a flower; and three cups shaped like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower; so for the six branches going out from the lampstand.
34And in the lampstand four cups shaped like almonds, its knobs and its flowers.
35And a knob under two branches from it, and a knob under two branches from it, and a knob under two branches from it—for the six branches going out from the lampstand.
36Their knobs and their branches shall be from it; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.
37And you shall make its seven lamps; and he shall set up its lamps, and give light over against its front.
38And its tongs and its fire-pans shall be of pure gold.
39Of a talent of pure gold he shall make it, with all these vessels.
40And see, and make them after their pattern which you are being shown on the mountain.
