25:1 The LORD said to Moses,
25:2 “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give.
25:3 These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze;
25:4 blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair;
25:5 ram skins dyed red and hides of sea cows; acacia wood;
25:6 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
25:7 and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
25:8 “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.
25:9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.
25:10 “Have them make a chest of acacia wood–two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
25:11 Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.
25:12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
25:13 Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
25:14 Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest to carry it.
25:15 The poles are to remain in the rings of this ark; they are not to be removed.
25:16 Then put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you.
25:17 “Make an atonement cover of pure gold–two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
25:18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
25:19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends.
25:20 The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.
25:21 Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you.
25:22 There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.
25:23 “Make a table of acacia wood–two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.

25:32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand–three on one side and three on the other.
25:33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand.
25:34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.
