Exodus 25
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
shew thee, after the
pattern of the
tabernacle, and the
pattern of all the
instruments thereof, even so shall ye
make it.
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 cherubims 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
cherubims on the
two ends thereof.
20 And the
cherubims 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
cherubims 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 cherubims which are
upon the
ark of the
testimony, of all things which I will give thee in
commandment unto the
children of
Israel. 23 Thou shalt also
make a
table of
shittim wood: two
cubits shall be the
length thereof, and a
cubit the
breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a
half the
height thereof.
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 an hand
breadth 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.
30 And thou shalt
set upon the
table shewbread before me
alway. 31 And thou shalt
make a
candlestick of
pure gold: of beaten
work shall the
candlestick be
made: his
shaft, and his
branches, his
bowls, his
knops, and his
flowers, shall be of the same.
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. 34 And in the
candlestick shall be
four bowls made like unto
almonds, with their
knops and their
flowers. 35 And there shall be a
knop under
two branches of the same, and a
knop under
two branches of the same, and a
knop under
two branches of the same, according to the
six branches that
proceed out of the
candlestick. 36 Their
knops and their
branches shall be of the same: all it shall be
one beaten
work of
pure gold. 37 And thou shalt
make the
seven lamps thereof: and they shall
light the
lamps thereof, that they may give
light over
against it. 38 And the
tongs thereof, and the
snuffdishes thereof, shall be of
pure gold. 39 Of a
talent of
pure gold shall he
make it, with all these
vessels. 40 And
look that thou
make them after their
pattern, which was
shewed thee in the
mount.
