Israel to Bring an Offering | |
Ex. 35.4-9 | |
1 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
2 |
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. |
3 |
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, |
4 |
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, |
5 |
and rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim 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 thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. |
The Ark of the Testimony | |
Ex. 37.1-9 | |
10 |
¶ And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. |
11 |
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. |
12 |
And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. |
13 |
And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. |
14 |
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. |
15 |
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. |
16 |
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. |
17 |
And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. |
18 |
And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. |
19 |
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. |
20 |
And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. |
21 |
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. |
22 |
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. |
The Table for the Showbread | |

24 |
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. |
25 |
And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. |
26 |
And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. |
27 |
Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table. |
28 |
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. |
29 |
And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them. |

32 |
And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: |
33 |
three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. |
