Exodus, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {25:2} "Speak to the
children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone
whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering. {25:3} This
is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, brass,
{25:4} blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair, {25:5} rams'
skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood, {25:6} oil for the light,
spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, {25:7} onyx
stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
{25:8} Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
{25:9} According to all that I show you, the pattern of the
tabernacle, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall
make it.
{25:10} "They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Its length shall be
two and a half cubits, its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and
a half its height. {25:11} You shall overlay it with pure gold. You
shall overlay it inside and outside, and you shall make a gold molding
around it. {25:12} You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put
them in its four feet. Two rings shall be on the one side of it, and
two rings on the other side of it. {25:13} You shall make poles of
acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. {25:14} You shall put the
poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark. {25:15}
The poles shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken
from it. {25:16} You shall put the testimony which I shall give you
into the ark. {25:17} You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two
and a half cubits shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its
breadth. {25:18} You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You
shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. {25:19} Make one
cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. You shall make
the cherubim on its two ends of one piece with the mercy seat. {25:20}
The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy
seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces
of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. {25:21} You shall put
the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the
testimony that I will give you. {25:22} There I will meet with you,
and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two
cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you
for the children of Israel.
{25:23} "You shall make a table of acacia wood. Two cubits shall be
its length, and a cubit its breadth, and one and a half cubits its
height. {25:24} You shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold
molding around it. {25:25} You shall make a rim of a handbreadth
around it. You shall make a golden molding on its rim around it.
{25:26} You shall make four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in
the four corners that are on its four feet. {25:27} the rings shall be
close to the rim, for places for the poles to carry the table. {25:28}
You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold,
that the table may be carried with them. {25:29} You shall make its
dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls to pour out offerings
with. You shall make them of pure gold. {25:30} You shall set bread of
the presence on the table before me always.
{25:31} "You shall make a menorah of pure gold. Of hammered work
shall the menorah be made, even its base, its shaft, its cups, its
buds, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it. {25:32} There
shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the
menorah out of its one side, and three branches of the menorah out of
its other side; {25:33} three cups made like almond blossoms in one
branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms
in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going
out of the menorah; {25:34} and in the menorah four cups made like
almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers; {25:35} and a bud under two
branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one
piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for
the six branches going out of the menorah. {25:36} Their buds and
their branches shall be of one piece with it, all of it one beaten
work of pure gold. {25:37} You shall make its lamps seven, and they
shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it.
{25:38} Its snuffers and its snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.
{25:39} It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these
accessories. {25:40} See that you make them after their pattern, which
has been shown to you on the mountain.
{26:1} "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of
fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim.
The work of the skillful workman you shall make them. {26:2} The
length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth
of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.
{26:3} Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the
other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. {26:4} You shall
make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the
coupling; and likewise you shall make in the edge of the curtain that
is outmost in the second coupling. {26:5} You shall make fifty loops
in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the
curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite
one to another. {26:6} You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple
the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle shall
be a unit.
{26:7} "You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering over
the tabernacle. You shall make them eleven curtains. {26:8} The length
of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each
curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.
{26:9} You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains
by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the
forefront of the tent. {26:10} You shall make fifty loops on the edge
of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on
the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling.
{26:11} You shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into
the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one. {26:12}
The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the
half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
{26:13} The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of
that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall
hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side,
to cover it. {26:14} You shall make a covering for the tent of rams'
skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
{26:15} "You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia
wood, standing up. {26:16} Ten cubits shall be the length of a board,
and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board. {26:17} There
shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you
shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle. {26:18} You shall
make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side
southward. {26:19} You shall make forty sockets of silver under the
twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two
sockets under another board for its two tenons. {26:20} For the second
side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards, {26:21} and
their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two
sockets under another board. {26:22} For the far part of the
tabernacle westward you shall make six boards. {26:23} You shall make
two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part. {26:24}
They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole
to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be
for the two corners. {26:25} There shall be eight boards, and their
sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and
two sockets under another board.
{26:26} "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of
the one side of the tabernacle, {26:27} and five bars for the boards
of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of
the side of the tabernacle, for the far part westward. {26:28} The
middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to
end. {26:29} You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their
rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars
with gold. {26:30} You shall set up the tabernacle according to the
way that it was shown to you on the mountain.
{26:31} "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman
shall it be made. {26:32} You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia
overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of
silver. {26:33} You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall
bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil
shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you. {26:34} You
shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy
place. {26:35} You shall set the table outside the veil, and the
menorah over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward
the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.
{26:36} "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue,
and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the
embroiderer. {26:37} You shall make for the screen five pillars of
acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and
you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
{27:1} "You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long,
and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and its height
shall be three cubits. {27:2} You shall make its horns on its four
corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it; and you shall
overlay it with brass. {27:3} You shall make its pots to take away its
ashes, its shovels, its basins, its flesh hooks, and its fire pans:
all its vessels you shall make of brass. {27:4} You shall make a
grating for it of network of brass: and on the net you shall make four
bronze rings in its four corners. {27:5} You shall put it under the
ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the
altar. {27:6} You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia
wood, and overlay them with brass. {27:7} Its poles shall be put into
the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar, when

make it as it has been shown you on the mountain.

side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined
linen one hundred cubits long for one side: {27:10} and its pillars
shall be twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the
pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. {27:11} Likewise for the
north side in length there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long,
and its pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks
of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. {27:12} For the breadth

silver; their hooks of silver, and their sockets of brass. {27:18} The
length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty
every where, and the height five cubits, of fine twined linen, and
their sockets of brass. {27:19} All the instruments of the tabernacle
in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court,
shall be of brass.
{27:20} "You shall command the children of Israel, that they bring
to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn
continually. {27:21} In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil which is
before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from
evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute forever
throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
