1. AND THE Lord said to Moses,
2. Speak to the Israelites, that they take for Me an offering. From every man who gives it willingly and ungrudgingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
3. This is the offering you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze,
4. Blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen and goats' hair,
5. Rams' skins tanned red, goatskins, dolphin or porpoise skins, acacia wood,
6. Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense,
7. Onyx stones, and stones for setting in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8. Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. [Heb. 8:1, 2; 10:1.]
9. And you shall make it according to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.
10. They shall make an ark of acacia wood: two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
