¹ ADONAI said to Moshe,

² “Tell the people of Isra’el to take up a collection for me — accept a contribution from anyone who wholeheartedly wants to give.

³ The contribution you are to take from them is to consist of gold, silver and bronze;

⁴ blue, purple and scarlet yarn; fine linen, goat’s hair,

⁵ tanned ram skins and fine leather; acacia-wood;

⁶ oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

⁷ onyx stones and other stones to be set, for the ritual vest and breastplate.

⁸ “They are to make me a sanctuary, so that I may live among them.

⁹ You are to make it according to everything I show you — the design of the tabernacle and the design of its furnishings. This is how you are to make it.

¹⁰ “They are to make an ark of acacia-wood three-and-three-quarters feet long, two-and-a-quarter feet wide and two-and-a-quarter feet high.

¹¹ You are to overlay it with pure gold — overlay it both inside and outside — and put a molding of gold around the top of it.

¹² Cast four gold rings for it, and attach them to its four feet, two rings on each side.

¹³ Make poles of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.

¹⁴ Put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark; you will use them to carry the ark.

¹⁵ The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they are not to be removed from it.

¹⁶ Into the ark you are to put the testimony which I am about to give you.

¹⁷ [16] (ii) “You are to make a cover for the ark out of pure gold; it is to be three-and-three-quarters feet long and two-and-a-quarter feet high.

¹⁸ You are to make two k’ruvim of gold. Make them of hammered work for the two ends of the ark-cover.

¹⁹ Make one keruv for one end and one keruv for the other end; make the k’ruvim of one piece with the ark-cover at its two ends.

²⁰ The k’ruvim will have their wings spread out above, so that their wings cover the ark, and their faces are toward each other and toward the ark-cover.

²¹ You are to put the ark-cover on top of the ark. “Inside the ark you will put the testimony that I am about to give you.

²² There I will meet with you. I will speak with you from above the ark-cover, from between the two k’ruvim which are on the ark for the testimony, about all the orders I am giving you for the people of Isra’el.

²³ “You are to make a table of acacia-wood three feet long, eighteen inches wide and eighteen inches high.

²⁴ Overlay it with pure gold, and put a molding of gold around the top of it.

²⁵ Make around it a rim a handbreadth wide, and put a molding of gold around the rim.

²⁶ Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners, near its four legs.

²⁷ The rings to hold the poles used to carry the table are to be placed close to the rim.

²⁸ Make the poles of acacia-wood, overlay them with gold, and use them to carry the table.

²⁹ “Make its dishes, pans, bowls and pitchers of pure gold.

³⁰ On the table you are to place the bread of the presence in my presence always.

³¹ [30] (S: iii) “You are to make a menorah of pure gold. It is to be made of hammered work; its base, shaft, cups, ring of outer leaves and petals are to be of one piece with it.

³² It is to have six branches extending from its sides, three branches of the menorah on one side of it and three on the other.

³³ On one branch are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a ring of outer leaves and petals; likewise on the opposite branch three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a ring of outer leaves and petals; and similarly for all six branches extending from the menorah.

³⁴ On the central shaft of the menorah are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its ring of outer leaves and petals.

³⁵ Where each pair of branches joins the central shaft is to be a ring of outer leaves of one piece with the pair of branches — thus for all six branches.

³⁶ The rings of outer leaves and their branches are to be of one piece with the shaft. Thus the whole menorah is to be a single piece of hammered work made of pure gold.

³⁷ “Make seven lamps for the menorah, and mount them so as to give light to the space in front of it.

³⁸ Its tongs and trays are to be of pure gold.

³⁹ The menorah and its utensils are to be made of sixty-six pounds of pure gold.

⁴⁰ See that you make them according to the design being shown you on the mountain.
