1. And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering.
3. And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold, and silver, and bronze,
4. And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5. And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and acacia wood,
6. Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7. Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9. According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furnishings of it, even so shall you make it.
10. And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.
11. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside shall you overlay it, and shall make upon it a molding of gold round about.
12. And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners of it; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13. And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
