Exodus · Chapter 25
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
And this
is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats
hair,
And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,
Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
According to all that I shew thee,
after the pattern of the mishkan, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make
it.
And they shall make an ark
of shittim wood: two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

them
in the four corners thereof; and two rings
shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
And thou shalt make staves
of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

And thou shalt make a mercy seat
of pure gold: two cubits and a half

of gold,
of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end:
even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
And the cherubim shall stretch forth
their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces
shall look
one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which
are upon the ark of the testimony, of all
things which I will give thee in mitsvah unto the children of Yisra'el.
Thou shalt also make a table

And thou shalt make the staves
of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal:

And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
And thou shalt make a candlestick
of pure gold:
of
beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
Three bowls made like unto almonds,
with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch,
with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
And in the candlestick
shall be four bowls made like unto almonds,
with their knops and their flowers.
And
there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it
shall be one beaten work
of pure gold.
And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof,
shall be of
pure gold.
Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
And look that thou make
