1 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take a heave offering for Me. From
every man whose heart impels him, let them take My offering. 3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and
bronze; 4 and blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and goats hair; 5 and rams’ skin dyed red, and dugong skins, and acacia wood; 6 oil for the light, spices for the oil of anointing, and for the incense of
perfumes; 7 onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod, and for the breast pocket. 8 And let them make a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell in their midst. 9 According to all which I am going to reveal to you, the plan of the
tabernacle, and the plan of all its vessels, even so you shall do. 10 And they shall make an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, and a
cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. 11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold; you shall overlay it inside and
outside. And you shall make a wreath of gold all around on it. 12 And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and shall put it on its four
feet; two rings on its one side, and two rings on the second side. 13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and you shall overlay them with
gold. 14 And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry
the ark by them. 15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not depart from it. 16 And you shall put the testimony into the ark, which I shall give to you. 17 And you shall make a mercyseat of pure gold, its length two and a half
cubits, and its width a cubit and a half. 18 And you shall make two cherubs of gold; you shall make them of beaten work
from the two ends of the mercy-seat. 19 And make one cherub from the end here, and one cherub from the end there. You
shall make the cherubs from the mercyseat, on its two ends. 20 And the cherubs shall be spreading out wings above, covering the mercyseat
with their wings, and their faces each toward its brother; the faces of the
cherubs shall be toward the mercy-seat. 21 And you shall put the mercyseat on the ark from above. And you shall put the
testimony into the ark, which I shall give to you. 22 And I will meet you there, and will speak with you, above the mercyseat, from
between the two cherubs which are on the ark of testimony, all which I shall
command you as to the sons of Israel. 23 And you shall make a table of acacia wood, its length two cubits, and its
width a cubit, and its height a cubit and a half. 24 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and you shall make on it a wreath of
gold all around. 25 And you shall make a border of a hand’s breadth for it all around. And you
shall make a wreath of gold all around on its border. 26 And you shall make four rings of gold for it, and you shall put the rings on
the four corners which are to its four feet. 27 The rings shall be near the border for housings for the poles to carry the
table. 28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and you shall overlay them with
gold. And the table shall be carried by them. 29 And you shall make its platters, and its bowls, and its pitchers, and its
sacrificial cups with which to pour a libation. You shall make them of pure
gold. 30 And you shall put on the table the showbread before Me continually. 31 And you shall make a Menorah of pure gold. The Menorah shall be made of
beaten work; its base and its shaft, its calyxes, its knobs, and its blossoms
shall be from it. 32 And six branches shall go out from its sides, three branches of the lamp from
its one side and three branches of the Menorah from its second side; 33 three almond like calyxes on the one branch with knob and blossom; and three
almond like calyxes on the one branch with knob and blossom, so for the six
branches, those going out from the Menorah. 34 And on the Menorah shall be four almond like calyxes, each with its knobs and
its blossoms; 35 and a knob under two branches of it; and a knob under two branches of it; and
a knob under two branches of it, to the six branches, those going from the
Menorah. 36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of it, all of it one beaten work of
pure gold. 37 And you shall make its seven lamps, and one shall set up its lamps, and they
shall give light before its face. 38 And its tongs, and its pans shall be of pure gold. 39 One shall make it of a talent of pure gold, with all these vessels. 40 And see that they are made by their patterns which you have been shown in the
mountain.
*~Exodus Chapter 26 ~*
1 And you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains. You shall make them with
cherubs, the work of a skilled workman, of twined linen, and blue and purple and
crimson. 2 The length of one curtain shall be twenty eight by the cubit; and the width
four by the cubit, for the one curtain; one measure to all the curtains. 3 Five curtains shall be joined together, each to her sister. And five curtains
shall be joined each to its sister-piece. 4 And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, from the end at
the juncture; and so you shall do at the edge of the last curtain, at the second
juncture. 5 You shall make fifty loops on the one curtain; and you shall make fifty loops
in the end of the curtain at the second juncture; the corresponding loops each
to her sister. 6 And you shall make fifty hooks of gold. And you shall join the curtains, each
to her sister, by the hooks. And it shall become one (echad, united) tabernacle. 7 And you shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you
shall make eleven curtains. 8 The length of the one curtain shall be thirty by the cubit; and the width four
by the cubit for the one curtain; one measure to the eleven curtains. 9 And you shall join the five curtains separately, and the six curtains
separately. And you shall double the six curtains before the front of the
tabernacle. 10 And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain, the last at
the juncture; and fifty loops on the edge of the second curtain that joins. 11 And you shall make fifty hooks of bronze. And you shall put the hooks in the
loops and join the tent together. And it shall become one. 12 And the overlapping part of the rest of the curtains of the tabernacle, the
half curtain that remains, shall hang on the back of the tabernacle. 13 And the cubit from this side, and the cubit from that side that remains in
the length of the curtains of the tent shall be hung over the sides of the
tabernacle from this and from that side, to cover it. 14 And you shall make a cover for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a
covering of dugong skins from above. 15 And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood standing up. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of one board; and a cubit and a half the width
of one board. 17 Two pins shall be in one board, each connected to her sister piece. So you
shall do to all the boards of the tabernacle. 18 And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards on the south
side, southward. 19 And you shall make forty sockets of silver for the twenty boards; two sockets
under the one board for its two pins, and two sockets under the one board for
its two pins. 20 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty boards; 21 and their forty silver sockets; two sockets under the one board, and two
sockets under the one board. 22 And you shall make six boards for the sides of the tabernacle westward. 23 And you shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle, in the
sides. 24 And they shall be double from beneath. And in like manner they shall be
joined on the top, to the one ring. So it shall be to both of them; they shall
be for the two corners. 25 And there shall be eight boards, and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets,
two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the one board. 26 And you shall make bars of acacia wood, five to the boards of the one side of
the tabernacle; 27 and five bars to the boards of the second side of the tabernacle; and five
bars to the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the rear, westward. 28 And there shall be a middle bar in the midst of the boards, going through
from end to end. 29 And you shall overlay the boards with gold and you shall make their rings
gold, housings for the bars. And you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30 And you shall set up the tabernacle according to the decree which you were
shown in the mountain. 31 And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and crimson, and twined linen.
One shall make it by the work of the skilled workman, with cherubs. 32 And you shall put it on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold. Their
hooks shall be gold, on four sockets of silver. 33 And you shall hang the veil under the hooks. And you shall bring the ark of
the testimony there inside to the veil. And the veil shall divide for you
between the sanctuary and the Holy of Holies. 34 And you shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony, in the Holy of
Holies. 35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lamp across from the
table on the side of the tabernacle southward. And you shall put the table on
the north side. 36 And you shall make a screen for the door of the tent of blue, and of purple
and crimson, and twined bleached linen, the work of an embroiderer. 37 And you shall make five pillars of acacia wood for the screen. And you shall
overlay them with gold, their nails gold. And you shall cast for them five
sockets of bronze.
*~Exodus Chapter 27 ~*
1 And you shall make the altar of acacia timbers; five cubits long and five
cubits wide. The altar shall be square, and its height three cubits. 2 And you shall make its horns on its four corners. Its horns shall be a part of
itself. And you shall overlay it with bronze. 3 And you shall make its pots to remove its ashes, and its shovels and its
sacrificial bowls, and its flesh forks, and its pans. You shall make all its
vessels to be bronze. 4 And you shall make a grating for it, a network of bronze. And you shall make

overlay them with bronze. 7 And its poles shall be brought into the rings. And the poles shall be on the
two sides of the altar, for carrying it. 8 You shall make it hollow with boards; as He showed you in the mountain, so
they shall make it. 9 And you shall make the court of the tabernacle; for the south side southward,
hangings for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit in length, for
the one side. 10 And its pillars shall be twenty, and their sockets twenty in bronze; the
hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver. 11 And so for the north side in length, hangings a hundred in length; and its
pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty in bronze; the hooks of the pillars and

pins, and all the pins of the court, they shall be bronze.
