1And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they take a raised-offering for Me; you take My raised-offering from every man whose heart impels him.
3And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze,
4and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],
5and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,
6oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the spices,
7shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
8And they have made a sanctuary for Me, and I have dwelt in their midst;
9according to all that which I am showing you, the pattern of the Dwelling Place, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so you make [it].
10And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
11and you have overlaid it [with] pure gold, you overlay it inside and outside, and you have made a ring of gold on it all around.
12And you have cast four rings of gold for it, and have put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
13and you have made poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] gold,
14and have brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark by them;
15the poles are in the rings of the Ark, they are not turned aside from it;
16and you have put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark.
17And you have made a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
18and you have made two cherubim of gold; you make them beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering;
19and make one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; at the propitiatory covering you make the cherubim on its two ends.
20And the cherubim have been spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another—the faces of the cherubim are toward the propitiatory covering.
21And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above, and you put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark;
22and I have met with you there, and have spoken with you from off the propitiatory covering (from between the two cherubim, which [are] on the Ark of the Testimony) all that which I command you concerning the sons of Israel.
23And you have made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,
24and have overlaid it [with] pure gold, and have made a crown of gold for it all around,
25and have made a border of a handbreadth for it all around, and have made a crown of gold for its border all around.
26And you have made four rings of gold for it, and have put the rings on the four corners, which [are] at its four feet;
27close by the border are the rings for places for poles to carry the table;
28and you have made the poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them with gold, and the table has been carried with them;
29and you have made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; you make them of pure gold;
30and you have put Bread of the Presentation on the table before Me continually.
31And you have made a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand is made of beaten work; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers are of the same;
32and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of the first side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the second side;
33three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower—so for the six branches which are coming out from the lampstand.
34And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knobs and its flowers;
35and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand;
36their knobs and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;
37and you have made its seven lamps, and [one] has caused its lamps to go up, and it has given light over [and] beyond its front.
38And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;
39he makes it of a talent of pure gold, with all these vessels.
40Now see and make [them] by their pattern which you are shown on the mountain.”
