EXODUS 25
1 The Lord said to Moses:
2 Tell the Israelites to take for me an offering; from all whose
hearts prompt them to give you shall receive the offering for me.
3 This is the offering that you shall receive from them: gold,
silver, and bronze,
4 blue, purple, and crimson yarns and fine linen, goats' hair,
5 tanned rams' skins, fine leather, acacia wood,
6 oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the
fragrant incense,
7 onyx stones and gems to be set in the ephod and for the breastpiece.
8 And have them make me a sanctuary, so that I may dwell among
them.
9 In accordance with all that I show you concerning the pattern of
the tabernacle and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
10 They shall make an ark of acacia wood; it shall be two and a half
cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11 You shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside you shall
overlay it, and you shall make a moulding of gold upon it all around.
12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them on its four
feet, two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side.
13 You shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with
gold.
14 And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark,
by which to carry the ark.
15 The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be
taken from it.
16 You shall put into the ark the covenant that I shall give you.
17 Then you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two cubits and a
half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its width.
18 You shall make two cherubim of gold; you shall make them of
hammered work, at the two ends of the mercy seat.
19 Make one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other; of one
piece with the mercy seat you shall make the cherubim at its two ends.
20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the
mercy seat with their wings. They shall face one to another; the faces of the
cherubim shall be turned toward the mercy seat.
21 You shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark; and in the ark
you shall put the covenant that I shall give you.
22There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between
the two cherubim that are on the Ark of the Covenant, I will deliver to you all
my commands for the Israelites.
23 You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit
wide, and a cubit and a half high.
24 You shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a moulding of gold
around it.
25 You shall make around it a rim a handbreadth wide, and a moulding
of gold around the rim.
26You shall make for it four rings of gold, and fasten the rings to the
four corners at its four legs.
27 The rings that hold the poles used for carrying the table shall be
close to the rim.
28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with
gold, and the table shall be carried with these.
29 You shall make its plates and dishes for incense, and its flagons
and bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure
gold.
30 And you shall set the bread of the Presence on the table before me
always.
31 You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The base and the shaft of
the lampstand shall be made of hammered work; its cups, its calyxes, and its
petals shall be of one piece with it;
32 and there shall be six branches going out of its sides, three
branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the
lampstand out of the other side of it;
33 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with calyx and
petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with
calyx and petals, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the
lampstand.
34 On the lampstand itself there shall be four cups shaped like
almond blossoms, each with its calyxes and petals.
35 There shall be a calyx of one piece with it under the first pair
of branches, a calyx of one piece with it under the next pair of branches, and
a calyx of one piece with it under the last pair of branches—so for the six
branches that go out of the lampstand.
36 Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it,
the whole of it one hammered piece of pure gold.
37 You shall make the seven lamps for it; and the lamps shall be set
up so as to give light on the space in front of it.
38 Its snuffers and trays shall be of pure gold.
39 It, and all these utensils, shall be made from a talent of pure
gold.
40And see that you make them according to the pattern for them, which is
being shown you on the mountain.
EXODUS 26
1 Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine
twisted linen, and blue, purple, and crimson yarns; you shall make them with
cherubim skill-fully worked into them.
2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the
width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall be of the same
size.
3 Five curtains shall be joined to one another; and the other five
curtains shall be joined to one another.
4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain
in the first set; and likewise you shall make loops on the edge of the
outermost curtain in the second set.
5 You shall make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you shall make
fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops
shall be opposite one another.
6You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and join the curtains to one
another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be one whole.
7 You shall also make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the
tabernacle; you shall make eleven curtains.
8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width
of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall be of the same
size.
9 You shall join five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves, and the sixth curtain you shall double over at the front of the
tent.
10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is
outer most in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outer
most in the second set.
11 You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the
loops, and join the tent together, so that it may be one whole.
12 The part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half
curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
13 The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of
what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the
sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.
14 You shall make for the tent a covering of tanned rams' skins and
an outer covering of fine leather.
15 You shall make upright frames of acacia wood for the
tabernacle.
16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half
the width of each frame.
17 There shall be two pegs in each frame to fit the frames together;
you shall make these for all the frames of the tabernacle.
18 You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for
the south side;
19 and you shall make forty bases of silver under the twenty frames,
two bases under the first frame for its two pegs, and two bases under the next
frame for its two pegs;
20 and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side
twenty frames,
21 and their forty bases of silver, two bases under the first frame,
and two bases under the next frame;
22 and for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six
frames.
23 You shall make two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the
rear;
24 they shall be separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the
first ring; it shall be the same with both of them; they shall form the two
corners.
25 And so there shall be eight frames, with their bases of silver,
sixteen bases; two bases under the first frame, and two bases under the next
frame.
26 You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one
side of the tabernacle,
27 and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle
and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear
westward.
28 The middle bar, halfway up the frames, shall pass through from end
to end.
29 You shall overlay the frames with gold, and shall make their rings
of gold to hold the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold.
30 Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it
that you were shown on the mountain.
31 You shall make a curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and
of fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim skill-fully worked into
it.
32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold,
which have hooks of gold and rest on four bases of silver.
33 You shall hang the curtain under the clasps, and bring the Ark of
the Covenant in there, within the curtain; and the curtain shall separate for
you the holy place from the most holy.
34 You shall put the mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant in the
most holy place.
35 You shall set the table outside the curtain, and the lampstand on
the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table; and you shall put the
table on the north side.
36 You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue,
purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen, embroidered with
needlework.
37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay
them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five bases of
bronze for them.
EXODUS 27
1 You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five
cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and it shall be three cubits
high.
2 You shall make horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall
be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.
3 You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and
basins and forks and fire-pans; you shall make all its utensils of
bronze.
4 You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze; and on
the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.
5 You shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net
shall extend halfway down the altar.
6 You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and
overlay them with bronze;
7 the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles shall
be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.
8 You shall make it hollow, with boards. They shall be made just as
you were shown on the mountain.
9 You shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side the
court shall have hangings of fine twisted linen one hundred cubits long for
that side;
10 its twenty pillars and their twenty bases shall be of bronze, but
the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver.
11 Likewise for its length on the north side there shall be hangings
one hundred cubits long, their pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of
bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver.
12 For the width of the court on the west side there shall be fifty
cubits of hangings, with ten pillars and ten bases.
13 The width of the court on the front to the east shall be fifty
cubits.
14 There shall be fifteen cubits of hangings on the one side, with
three pillars and three bases.
15There shall be fifteen cubits of hangings on the other side, with three
pillars and three bases.
16 For the gate of the court there shall be a screen twenty cubits
long, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen,
embroidered with needlework; it shall have four pillars and with them four
bases.
17 All the pillars around the court shall be banded with silver;
their hooks shall be of silver, and their bases of bronze.
18 The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, the width
fifty, and the height five cubits, with hangings of fine twisted linen and
bases of bronze.
19 All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, and all its pegs
and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.
20 You shall further command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of
beaten olives for the light, so that a lamp may be set up to burn
regularly.
21 In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that is before the
covenant, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the
Lord. It shall be a perpetual ordinance to be observed throughout their
generations by the Israelites.
