Chapter 25

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto the children of Israel, that they bring⁴ me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly⁴ with his heart ye shall take⁴ my offering.

And this [is] the offering which ye shall take⁴ of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

And blue, and purple, and scarlet, ⁸¹⁴⁴ and fine linen, and goats' [hair],

And rams' skins dyed red,³⁰ and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

And let them make¹ me a sanctuary; that I may dwell¹ among them.

According to all that I shew⁵⁶ thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make⁴ [it].

And they shall make¹ 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.

And thou shalt overlay¹⁴ it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay¹⁷ it, and shalt make¹ upon it a crown of gold round about.

And thou shalt cast¹ four rings of gold for it, and put¹ [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.

And thou shalt make¹ staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay¹⁴ them with gold.

And thou shalt put⁵² the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne² with them.

The staves shall be⁴ in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken⁴ from it.

And thou shalt put¹ into the ark the testimony which I shall give⁴ thee.

And thou shalt make¹ 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.

And thou shalt make¹ two cherubims [of] gold, [of] beaten work shalt thou make⁴ them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

And make³ one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: [even] of the mercy seat shall ye make⁴ the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

And the cherubims shall stretch forth⁶ [their] wings on high, covering⁶ 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.

And thou shalt put¹ the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put⁴ the testimony that I shall give⁴ thee.

And there I will meet⁸ with thee, and I will commune¹⁴ 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 commandment¹⁷ unto the children of Israel.

Thou shalt also make¹ 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.

And thou shalt overlay¹⁴ it with pure gold, and make¹ thereto a crown of gold round about.

And thou shalt make¹ unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make¹ a golden crown to the border thereof round about.

And thou shalt make¹ for it four rings of gold, and put¹ the rings in the four corners that [are] on the four feet thereof.

Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear² the table.

And thou shalt make¹ the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay¹⁴ them with gold, that the table may be borne⁸ with them.

And thou shalt make¹ the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover⁹³ withal: [of] pure gold shalt thou make⁴ them.

And thou shalt set¹ upon the table shewbread ⁶⁴⁴⁰ before me alway.

And thou shalt make¹ a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made:¹¹ his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.

And six branches shall come out⁶ 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:

Three bowls made like unto almonds,³⁰ [with] a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds³⁰ in the other branch, [with] a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out⁶ of the candlestick.

And in the candlestick [shall be] four bowls made like unto almonds,³⁰ [with] their knops and their flowers.

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 proceed⁶ out of the candlestick.

Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it [shall be] one beaten work [of] pure gold.

And thou shalt make¹ the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light⁵² the lamps thereof, that they may give light⁵² over against it.

And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, [shall be of] pure gold.

[Of] a talent of pure gold shall he make⁴ it, with all these vessels.

And look³ that thou make³ [them] after their pattern, which was shewed⁹⁴ thee in the mount.
