1. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2. Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, that they bring Me a terumah (offering); of every man that giveth it willingly with his lev ye shall receive My terumah (offering).
3. And this is the terumah (offering) which ye shall receive of them; zahav, and kesef, and nechoshet,
4. And turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool, and linen, and goat hair,
5. And ram skins dyed red, and tachash skins, and acacia wood,
6. Shemen for the light, spices for shemen hamishchah (anointing oil) and aromatic ketoret (incense),
7. Shoham stone, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the Choshen (Breastplate).
8. And let them make Me a Mikdash; that I may dwell among them.
9. According to all that I show thee, after the tavnit HaMishkan (pattern of the Tabernacle), and the tavnit of all the vessels thereof, even so shall ye make it.
