Exodus 25
1AND the Lord spake to Moses saying,
2Say to the children of Israel, Take offerings from all who may be willing. And these you shall take as dedications to Me.
3And this is the offering which you shall receive from them; gold and silver and brass,
4and blue and purple and scarlet yarn, and cotton thread, and goats’ hair,
5and rams’ skins dyed red, and skins of a violet colour, and incorruptible wood,
6and oil for giving light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the compound incense,
7and sardius stones, and stones to be engraved for the ephod and the robe which cometh down to the feet.
8And thou shalt make a sanctuary for Me and I will appear among you.
9And thou shalt make everything for Me according to what I show thee on this mount—according to the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its utensils, so shalt thou make them.
10Thou shalt make the Ark of the covenant of incorruptible wood—two cubits and a half, the length, and a cubit and a half, the breadth, and a cubit and a half, the height.
11And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold. Within and without thou shalt overlay it. And thou shalt make for it a rim of gold welked and waved around.
12And thou shalt beat out for it four rings of gold and fasten them to the four corners, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.
13And thou shalt make staves of incorruptible wood and overlay them with gold.
14And thou shalt put the staves in the rings on the sides of the ark, that with them the ark may be carried.
15The staves shall remain immoveably in the rings of the ark.
16And thou shalt deposit in the ark the testimonies which I give thee.
17And thou shalt make a propitiatory—a lid of pure gold, two cubits and a half, the length; and a cubit and a half, the breadth.
18And thou shalt make two cherubs of turned gold, and place them at the two sides of the propitiatory.
19They shall be made, one cherub at one side, and the other cherub at the other side of the propitiatory. Thou shalt make the two cherubs at the two sides;
20and the cherubs shall have their wings stretched forth above and shall overshadow the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be towards each other. The faces of the cherubs shall be towards the propitiatory.
21And thou shalt put the propitiatory upon the ark; and into the ark thou shalt put the testimonies which I give thee.
22And there I will make Myself known to thee and speak to thee from above the propitiatory, from between the two cherubs which are on the ark of the testimony, touching all that I give thee in charge to the children of Israel.
23Thou shalt also make a golden table of pure gold; two cubits long; and one cubit broad; and a cubit and a half high:
24And thou shalt make for it a rim of gold, welked and waved around.
25And thou shalt make for it a border of a hand breadth all around, and to the border thou shalt make a welked wave all around:
26And thou shalt make four rings of gold and fasten the four rings to the four sides of its feet under the border:
27And the rings shall be for places to hold the staves so that with them they may carry the table.
28And thou shalt make the staves of incorruptible wood and overlay them with pure gold, and with them the table shall be carried.
29And thou shalt make its plates and its incense vessels and its libation vessels and the cups with which thou shalt pour out libations, all of pure gold.
30And on this table thou shalt lay the loaves which are to be in my presence before me continually.
31Thou shalt make also a candlestick of pure gold. Thou shalt make it a turned work. Its shaft and its branches and the cups and the knobs and the lily ornaments shall be of one piece.
32And from its sides there shall issue six branches; three branches of the candlestick from one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side,
33with three cups beaten out in form of almonds, and a knob and an ornament like a lily on each branch; and so on the six branches issuing from the candlestick:
34and on the shaft there shall be four cups beaten out in form of almonds, and for each branch, knobs and ornaments like lilies, of the same piece;
35the knob under the first pair of branches issuing from it; and a knob under the second pair of branches issuing from it, and so under the third pair of branches issuing from the shaft; and on the shaft four cups beaten out in form of almonds.
36Let the knobs and the branches be of one piece. The whole must be turned out of one piece of pure gold.
37And thou shalt make the seven lamps for it, and place the lamps so that they may give light in one row.
38And its snuffers and its snuff dishes thou shalt make of pure gold.
39All these utensils shall be a talent of pure gold.
40See that thou make them according to the pattern shewn thee on this mount.
