MLV(i)
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take for me an offering; of every man whose heart makes him willing you* will take my offering.
3 And this is the offering which you* will 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 certain skins and acacia wood, 6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, 7 onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I show you: the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all the furniture of it, even so will you* make it.
10 And they will make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half will be the length of it and a cubit and a half the breadth of it and a cubit and a half the height of it. 11 And you will overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside you will overlay it and will make upon it a crown of gold all around. 12 And you will cast four rings of gold for it and put them in the four feet of it. And two rings will be on the one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. 13 And you will make staves of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14 And you will put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark. 15 The staves will be in the rings of the ark; they will not be taken from it. 16 And you will put into the ark the testimony which I will give you.
17 And you will make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length of it and a cubit and a half the breadth of it. 18 And you will make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work will you make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat. 19 And make one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy-seat you* will make the cherubim on the two ends of it. 20 And the cherubim will spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim will be toward the mercy-seat.
21 And you will put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. And in the ark you will put the testimony that I will give you. 22 And there I will meet with you. And I will speak with you 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 you in commandment to the sons of Israel.
23 And you will make a table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it and a cubit the breadth of it and a cubit and a half the height of it. 24 And you will overlay it with pure gold and make for it a crown of gold all around. 25 And you will make to it a border of a handbreadth all around and you will make a golden crown to the border of it all around. 26 And you will make for it four rings of gold and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it. 27 The rings will be close by the border, for places for the staves to bear the table. 28 And you will make the staves of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. 29 And you will make the dishes of it and the spoons of it and the pitchers of it and the bowls of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold you will make them. 30 And you will set upon the table showbread before me always.
3 And this is the offering which you* will 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 certain skins and acacia wood, 6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, 7 onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
