CHAPTER 25
1
I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying,
2
“Speak to the children of God Prevails (Israel), that they bring me
an offering: of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you
will take my offering.
3
This is the offering which you will take of them; gold, silver, and
brass,
4
Blue, and purple, and scarlet, fine linen, and goats' hair,
5
Rams' skins dyed red, badgers' skins, and acacia 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
Let them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9
According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the
tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so
will you make it.
10
They will make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half will be
the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a half the height thereof.
11
You will overlay it with pure gold, within and without will you
overlay it, and will make upon it a crown of gold roundabout.
12
You will cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four
corners thereof; and two rings will be in the one side of it, and two
rings in the other side of it.
13
You will make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
14
You will put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that
the ark may be borne with them.
15
The staves will be in the rings of the ark: they will not be taken
from it.
16
You will put into the ark the testimony which I will give you.
17
You will make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half will
be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18
You will make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work will you make
them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19
Make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other
end: even of the mercy seat will you make the cherubims on the two
ends thereof.
20
The cherubims will stretch forth their wings on high, covering the
mercy seat with their wings, and their faces will look one to
another; toward the mercy seat will the faces of the cherubims be.
21
You will put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark you
will put the testimony that I will give you.
22
There I will meet with you, and I will commune with you 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 you in commandment
to the children of God Prevails (Israel).
23
You will also make a table of acacia wood: two cubits will be the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a
half the height thereof.
24
You will overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold
roundabout.
25
You will make to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and you
will make a golden crown to the border thereof roundabout.
26
You will 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 will the rings be for places of the staves to
bear the table.
28
You will make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold,
that the table may be borne with them.
29
You will make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers
thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold will you
make them.
30
You will set upon the table shewbread before me always.
31
You will make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work will the
candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his
bulbs, and his flowers, will be of the same.
32
Six branches will 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 almonds, with a bulb and a flower in one
branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a
bulb and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the
candlestick.
34
In the candlestick will be four bowls made like to almonds, with
their bulbs and their flowers.
35
There will be a bulb under two branches of the same, and a bulb under
two branches of the same, and a bulb under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
36
Their bulbs and their branches will be of the same: all it will be
one beaten work of pure gold.
37
You will make the seven lamps thereof: and they will light the lamps
thereof, that they may give light over against it.
38
The tongs thereof, and the snuff dishes thereof, will be of pure
gold.
39
Of a talent of pure gold will he make it, with all these vessels.
40
Look that you make them after their pattern, which was shewed you in
the mount.”
