¹Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Tell the children of Israel to take for Me a  ¹heave offering. From every man whose heart makes him willing you shall take My heave offering.

And this is the heave offering which you shall take from them:  ¹gold and silver and bronze,

And  ¹blue and purple and scarlet strands, and  ²fine linen, and  ³goats' hair,

And  ¹rams' skins dyed red, and  ²porpoise skins, and  ³acacia wood,

 ¹Oil for the light,  ²spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

Onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

And let them make a sanctuary for Me that I may dwell in their midst;

According to all that I show you, the  ¹pattern of the  ²tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, even so shall you make it.

And they shall make an  ¹ark of  ²acacia wood:  ³two and a half cubits shall be its length; and  ³one and a half cubits, its width; and  ³one and a half cubits, its height.

And you shall overlay it with pure  ¹gold; inside and outside you shall overlay it; and you shall make a  ²rim of gold upon it all around.

And you shall cast four  ¹rings of gold for it, and put them on its four feet; and two  ²rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

And you shall make  ¹poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

And you shall  ¹put the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark to carry the Ark with them.

The poles shall be in the rings of the Ark; they shall not be taken from it.

And you shall  ¹put into the Ark the Testimony which I will give you.

And you shall make an  ¹expiation cover of pure gold:  ²two and a half cubits shall be its length, and  ²one and a half cubits, its width.

And you shall make two  ¹cherubim of gold; of beaten work you shall make them, at the two ends of the expiation cover.

And make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; of  ¹one piece with the expiation cover you shall make the cherubim on its two ends.

And the cherubim shall spread out their  ¹wings above the cover, covering the expiation cover with their wings, with their  ¹faces toward one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the expiation cover.

And you shall  ¹put the expiation cover upon the Ark above it, and into the Ark you shall  ²put the Testimony that I will give you.

And there I will  ¹meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the expiation cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, of everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

And you shall make a  ¹table of  ²acacia wood:  ³two cubits shall be its length, and a cubit its width, and  ⁴one and a half cubits its height.

And you shall overlay it with pure gold and make a  ¹rim of gold around it.

And you shall make a  ¹frame of a handbreadth around it; and you shall make a  ¹rim of gold for its frame around it.

And you shall make for it four  ¹rings of gold and put the rings on the four corners that are on its four feet.

The rings shall be close to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.

And you shall make the  ¹poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table shall be carried with them.

And you shall make a  ¹lampstand of  ²pure gold. The lampstand with its  ³base and its  ³shaft shall be made of  ⁴beaten work; its  ⁵cups, its  ⁵calyxes, and its  ⁵blossom buds shall be of one piece with it.

And there shall be  ¹six branches going out of its sides;  ¹three branches of the lampstand out of one of its sides, and  ¹three branches of the lampstand out of its other side;

 ¹Three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a calyx and a blossom bud; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a calyx and a blossom bud — so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

And there shall be on the lampstand  ¹four cups made like almond blossoms, its calyxes and its blossom buds;

And a  ¹calyx under two branches of one piece with it, and a calyx under two branches of one piece with it, and a calyx under two branches of one piece with it, for the  ²six branches going out of the lampstand.

Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

And you shall make its lamps,  ¹seven; and set up its lamps to give  ²light to the area in front of it.

It shall be made of a  ¹talent of pure gold, with all these utensils.

And see that you make them according to their pattern, which was shown to you in the mountain.
