Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ² Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me a heave-offering: of every one whose heart prompteth him, ye shall take my heave-offering. ³ And this is the heave-offering that ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and copper, ⁴ and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and byssus, and goats` [hair], ⁵ and rams` skins dyed red, and badgers` skins; and acacia-wood; ⁶ oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs; ⁷ onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. ⁸ And they shall make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. ⁹ According to all that I shall shew thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the utensils thereof, even so shall ye make [it]. ¹⁰ And they shall make an ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half 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: inside and outside shalt thou overlay it; and shalt make upon it a border of gold round about. ¹² And cast four rings of gold for it, and put [them] at the four corners thereof, that two rings may be upon the one side thereof and two rings upon the other side thereof. ¹³ And make staves of acacia-wood and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴ And put the staves into the rings upon 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 come out from it. ¹⁶ And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony that I shall give thee. ¹⁷ And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half 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, at the two ends of the mercy-seat. ¹⁹ And make one cherub at the end of the one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim at the two ends thereof. ²⁰ And the cherubim shall stretch out [their] wings over it, covering over with their wings the mercy-seat, and their faces opposite to one another: toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be [turned]. ²¹ And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above on the ark, and shalt put in the ark the testimony that I shall give thee. ²² And there will I meet with thee, and will speak with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, everything that I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. ²³ And thou shalt make a table of acacia-wood, two cubits 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 upon it a border of gold round about. ²⁵ And thou shalt make for it a margin of a handbreadth round about, and shalt make a border of gold for the margin thereof round about. ²⁶ And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings at the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. ²⁷ Close to the margin shall the rings be, as receptacles of the staves to carry the table. ²⁸ And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold; and the table shall be carried upon them. ²⁹ And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and cups thereof, and goblets thereof, and bowls thereof, with which to pour out: of pure gold shalt thou make them. ³⁰ And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me continually. ³¹ And thou shalt make a lamp-stand of pure gold; [of] beaten work shall the lamp-stand be made: its base and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers shall be of the same.
