5. From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Let everyone who is willing bring this offering to the Lord: gold, silver, bronze,
6. blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen, goat hair
7. and male sheep skins, colored red. And they may bring fine leather and acacia wood.
8. They may also bring olive oil for the lamps, spices for the special olive oil used for appointing priests and for the sweet-smelling incense.
9. And they may bring onyx stones and other jewels to be put on the holy vest and chest covering of the priests.
10. “Let all the skilled workers come and make everything the Lord commanded:
11. the Holy Tent, its outer tent and its covering, the hooks, frames, crossbars, posts and bases;
12. the Ark of the Covenant, its poles, lid and the curtain in front of it;
13. the table and its poles, all the things that go with the table and the bread that shows we are in God’s presence;
14. the lampstand for the light and all the things that go with it, the lamps and olive oil for the light;
