Offerings for the Tabernacle^(A)

⁴ Moses said to all the congregation of the children of Israel: This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying: ⁵ Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze, ⁶ and blue, purple, and scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair, ⁷ rams’ skins dyed red, and porpoise skins, and acacia wood, ⁸ oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, ⁹ onyx stones, and gemstones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

¹⁰ Every skilled craftsman among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded: ¹¹ the tabernacle with its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; ¹² the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil that conceals it; ¹³ the table with its poles, and all its utensils, and the showbread; ¹⁴ the lampstand also for the light and its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light; ¹⁵ and the incense altar with its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; ¹⁶ the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; ¹⁷ the hangings of the court, its pillars and their sockets, and the curtain for the gate of the court; ¹⁸ the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court and their cords; ¹⁹ the woven garments for serving in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.

²⁰ Then all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. ²¹ Everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit was willing came and brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service and for the holy garments. ²² They came, both men and women, as many as had willing hearts, and brought brooches, earrings, rings and bracelets, all kinds of gold jewelry, and everyone that offered an offering of gold to the Lord. ²³ Everyone who had blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and red skins of rams, and porpoise skins, brought them. ²⁴ Everyone who was making a contribution of silver and bronze brought the Lord’s offering, and everyone who had acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. ²⁵ All the women that were skilled spun with their hands and brought what they had spun, both of blue, purple, and scarlet, and of fine linen. ²⁶ All the women whose hearts stirred them to action and were skilled spun goats’ hair. ²⁷ The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate, ²⁸ and spice and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. ²⁹ The children of Israel brought a willing offering to the Lord, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring material for all the work which the Lord had commanded through Moses to be made.
