Exodus 25:1–11

¹Then the LORD said to Moses, ²“Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him. ³This is the offering you are to accept from them:

gold, silver, and bronze;

⁴blue, purple, and scarlet yarn;

fine linen and goat hair;

⁵ram skins dyed red and fine leather;^a

acacia wood;

⁶olive oil for the light;

spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

⁷and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

⁸And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them. ⁹You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.

¹⁰And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.^{b 11}Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.
