Offerings to Build the Tabernacle

25 The Lord spoke to Moses: “Tell the Israelites to take an offering for Me. You are to take My offering from everyone who is willing to give.(A) This is the offering you are to receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze; blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair; ram skins dyed red(B) and manatee skins;[a] acacia wood; oil(C) for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx[b] along with other gemstones for mounting on the ephod and breastpiece.[c](D)

“They are to make a sanctuary(E) for Me so that I may dwell(F) among them. You must make it according to all that I show you—the pattern(G) of the tabernacle as well as the pattern of all its furnishings.
