Exodus 25

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.”
