4. Moses told the people of Israel that the Lord had said:
5. I would welcome an offering from anyone who wants to give something. You may bring gold, silver, or bronze;
6. blue, purple, or red wool; fine linen; goat hair;
7. tanned ram skin or fine leather; acacia wood;
8. olive oil for the lamp; sweet-smelling spices for the oil of dedication and for the incense; or
9. onyx stones or other gems for the sacred apron and breastpiece.
10. If you have any skills, you should use them to help make what I have commanded:
11. the sacred tent with its covering and hooks, its framework and crossbars, and its post and stands;
12. the sacred chest with its carrying poles, its place of mercy, and the curtain in front of it;
13. the table with all that goes on it, including the sacred bread;
14. the lamp with its equipment and oil;
15. the incense altar with its carrying poles and sweet-smelling incense; the ordination oil; the curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent;
16. the altar for sacrifices with its bronze grating, its carrying poles, and its equipment; the large bronze bowl with its stand;
17. the curtains with the posts and stands that go around the courtyard;
18. the pegs and ropes for the tent and the courtyard;
19. and the finely woven priestly clothes for Aaron and his sons.
20. Moses finished speaking, and everyone left.
