¹⁰ “Let ^(A)every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:

^7 (A)I have fought the good fight, ^(B)I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

¹⁵ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,^[a] a worker ^(A)who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

²⁰ teaching them ^(A)to observe all that ^(B)I have commanded you. And behold, ^(C)I am with you always, to ^(D)the end of the age.”

^32 [a] “Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. ^(A)You shall not add to it or take from it.

³² Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the people of Israel did ^(A)according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did.

Contributions for the Sanctuary

The Ark of the Covenant

^10 (L)“They shall make an ark of acacia wood.

^17 (R)“You shall make a mercy seat^[c] of pure gold. Two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. ¹⁸ And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of ^(S)hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. ¹⁹ Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. ^(T)Of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. ^20 (U)The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. ²¹ And you shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. ^22 (V)There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from ^(W)between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you about all that I will give you in commandment for the people of Israel.
