為聖所奉獻(A)

25 耶和華對摩西說: “你要告訴以色列民,叫他們給我送禮物來,所有心裡樂意奉獻的人,你們就可以收下他們給我的禮物。 以下是你們要從他們收取的禮物:金、銀、銅、 藍色紫色朱紅色線、細麻、山羊毛、 染紅的公羊皮、海狗皮、皂莢木、 燈油、膏油的香料和焚香用的香料, 紅瑪瑙和鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的寶石。 他們要為我建造聖所,使我可以在他們中間居住。 按著我指示你建造會幕和一切器具的樣式,你們要照樣建造。

約櫃的做法(B)

10 “他們要用皂莢木做一個櫃,長一百一十公分,寬六十六公分,高六十六公分。 11 你要用純金包櫃,內外都要包上;櫃上的四圍要做金邊。 12 你要鑄造四個金環,安放在櫃的四腳上,兩個環在這邊,兩個環在那邊。 13 你要用皂莢木做幾根櫃槓,並要用金包裹起來。 14 你要把櫃槓穿在櫃旁的環中,以便用槓抬櫃。 15 櫃槓要常留在櫃的環中,不可抽出環外。 16 你要把我賜給你的法版放在櫃裡。 17 你要用純金做施恩座,長一百一十公分,寬六十六公分。 18 你要用黃金錘成兩個基路伯,放在施恩座的兩端。 19 這端做個基路伯,那端做個基路伯,二基路伯要與施恩座連在一起製造,在施恩座的兩端。 20 二基路伯要在上面展開雙翼,遮掩施恩座,基路伯的臉要彼此相對,他們的臉要朝著施恩座。 21 你要把施恩座安放在櫃頂,又要把我賜給你的法版放在櫃裡。 22 我要在那裡和你相會,也要從施恩座上面,從二基路伯之間,告訴你一切我命令你傳給以色列人的事。

桌子的做法(C)

23 “你要用皂莢木做一張桌子,長八十八公分,寬四十四公分,高六十六公分。 24 你要用純金包桌子,桌子的四圍要做金邊。 25 你要給桌子的四圍做七十五公釐寬的框邊,框邊上的四圍要做金邊。 26 你要做四個金環,把金環安放在桌子的四角上,就是在桌子的四腳上。 27 環子要靠近框邊,用來穿桌槓,以便抬桌子。 28 你要用皂莢木做幾根桌槓,又要用金包裹起來,桌子要用桌槓來抬。 29 你要做桌子上的盤子、碟子、酒杯和奠酒用的瓶,這些你要用純金製造。 30 你又要在桌子上,在我面前,常常擺放陳設餅。

燈臺的做法(D)

31 “你要用純金做一個燈臺,那燈臺你要用鎚錘成;燈臺的座、幹、杯、球、花,都要與燈臺連在一起。 32 燈臺的兩邊伸出六個枝子;一邊有三個燈臺枝子,另一邊也有三個燈臺枝子。 33 在第一個枝子上有三個杯,形狀像杏花,有球、有花;在另外一個枝子也有三個杯,形狀像杏花,有球、有花。從燈臺伸出的六個枝子,都是這樣。 34 燈臺上有四個杯,形狀像杏花,有球、有花。 35 每兩個枝子的下面有球和燈臺相連,從燈臺伸出來的六個枝子,都是這樣。 36 球和枝子都要與燈臺連在一起,都是從一塊純金錘成的。 37 你要做燈臺上的七個燈盞,這些燈盞要放在燈臺之上,使燈光照亮對面的地方。 38 燈臺上的燈剪和燈花盆,也是要純金做的。 39 要用三十五公斤純金做燈臺和一切器具。 40 你要留心照著在山上指示你的樣式去做。”

Offerings for the Tabernacle

25 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell the people of Israel to bring me their sacred offerings. Accept the contributions from all whose hearts are moved to offer them. Here is a list of sacred offerings you may accept from them:

gold, silver, and bronze;
blue, purple, and scarlet thread;
fine linen and goat hair for cloth;
tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather;
acacia wood;
olive oil for the lamps;
spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense;
onyx stones, and other gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

“Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary so I can live among them. You must build this Tabernacle and its furnishings exactly according to the pattern I will show you.

Plans for the Ark of the Covenant

10 “Have the people make an Ark of acacia wood—a sacred chest 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.[a] 11 Overlay it inside and outside with pure gold, and run a molding of gold all around it. 12 Cast four gold rings and attach them to its four feet, two rings on each side. 13 Make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 Insert the poles into the rings at the sides of the Ark to carry it. 15 These carrying poles must stay inside the rings; never remove them. 16 When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant,[b] which I will give to you.

17 “Then make the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—from pure gold. It must be 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.[c] 18 Then make two cherubim from hammered gold, and place them on the two ends of the atonement cover. 19 Mold the cherubim on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold. 20 The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it. 21 Place inside the Ark the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. Then put the atonement cover on top of the Ark. 22 I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant.[d] From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel.

Plans for the Table

23 “Then make a table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.[e] 24 Overlay it with pure gold and run a gold molding around the edge. 25 Decorate it with a 3-inch border[f] all around, and run a gold molding along the border. 26 Make four gold rings for the table and attach them at the four corners next to the four legs. 27 Attach the rings near the border to hold the poles that are used to carry the table. 28 Make these poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 29 Make special containers of pure gold for the table—bowls, ladles, pitchers, and jars—to be used in pouring out liquid offerings. 30 Place the Bread of the Presence on the table to remain before me at all times.

Plans for the Lampstand

31 “Make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. Make the entire lampstand and its decorations of one piece—the base, center stem, lamp cups, buds, and petals. 32 Make it with six branches going out from the center stem, three on each side. 33 Each of the six branches will have three lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals. 34 Craft the center stem of the lampstand with four lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals. 35 There will also be an almond bud beneath each pair of branches where the six branches extend from the center stem. 36 The almond buds and branches must all be of one piece with the center stem, and they must be hammered from pure gold. 37 Then make the seven lamps for the lampstand, and set them so they reflect their light forward. 38 The lamp snuffers and trays must also be made of pure gold. 39 You will need 75 pounds[g] of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories.

40 “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.

25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be 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, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.

13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by 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 be taken from it.

16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be 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 thereto a crown of gold round about.

25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.

26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.

27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.

28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.

30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.

31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.

32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:

33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.

34 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.

35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.

36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.

37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.

38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.

39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
