1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Tell the Israelites to take an offering for me; from every person motivated by a willing heart you are to receive my offering.
3. This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, bronze,
4. blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goat’s hair,
5. ram skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,
6. oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for fragrant incense,
7. onyx stones, and other gems to be set in the ephod and in the breastpiece.
8. Let them make for me a sanctuary, so that I may live among them.
9. According to all that I am showing you – the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings – you must make it exactly so.
