4. blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair,
5. rams’ skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia wood,
6. oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for fragrant incense,
7. onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8. Let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.
9. According to all that I show you—the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture—you shall make it just so.
10. They shall make an ark of acacia wood two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide, and one and a half cubits high.
11. You shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out shall you overlay it, and you shall make a gold border around it.
12. You shall cast four gold rings for it and put them on the four feet with two rings on the one side of it and two rings on the other side of it.
