Gifts offered for the dwelling
25 The Lord said to Moses: 2 Tell the Israelites to collect gift offerings for me. Receive my gift offerings from everyone who freely wants to give. 3 These are the gift offerings that you should receive from them: gold, silver, and copper; 4 blue, purple, and deep red yarns; fine linen; goats’ hair; 5 rams’ skins dyed red; beaded leather;[a] acacia wood; 6 oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense; 7 gemstones; and gems for setting in the priest’s vest[b] and chest piece. 8 They should make me a sanctuary so I can be present among them. 9 You should follow the blueprints that I will show you for the dwelling and for all its equipment.
Instructions for building the chest containing the covenant
10 Have them make an acacia-wood chest. It should be forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 11 Cover it with pure gold, inside and out, and make a gold molding all around it. 12 Cast four gold rings for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other. 13 Make acacia-wood poles and cover them with gold. 14 Then put the poles into the rings on the chest’s sides and use them to carry the chest. 15 The poles should stay in the chest’s rings. They shouldn’t be taken out of them. 16 Put the covenant document that I will give you into the chest.
17 Then make a cover of pure gold, forty-five inches long and twenty-seven inches wide. 18 Make two winged heavenly creatures of hammered gold, one for each end of the cover. 19 Put one winged heavenly creature at one end and one winged heavenly creature at the other. Place the winged heavenly creatures at the cover’s two ends. 20 The heavenly creatures should have their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. The winged heavenly creatures should face each other toward the cover’s center. 21 Put the gold cover on top of the chest and put the covenant document that I will give you inside the chest. 22 There I will meet with you. From there above the cover, from between the two winged heavenly creatures that are on top of the chest containing the covenant, I will deliver to you all that I command you concerning the Israelites.
Instructions for the table
23 Make an acacia-wood table, three feet long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 24 Cover it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it. 25 Make a frame around it that is four inches wide and a gold molding around the frame. 26 Make four gold rings for the table. Fasten the rings to the four corners at its four legs. 27 The rings that house the poles used for carrying the table should be close to the frame. 28 Make the poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold. The table should be carried with these poles. 29 Make its plates, dishes, jars, and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them of pure gold. 30 Set the bread of the presence on the table so it is always in front of me.
Instructions for the lampstand
31 Make a lampstand of pure hammered gold. The lampstand’s base, branches, cups, flowers, and petals should all be attached to it. 32 It should have six branches growing out from its sides, three branches on one side of the lampstand and three branches on the other side of the lampstand. 33 One branch will have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals, and the next branch will also have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand. 34 In addition, on the lampstand itself there will be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its flower and petals. 35 There will be a flower attached under the first pair of branches, a flower attached under the next pair of branches, and a flower attached under the last pair of branches. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand. 36 Their flowers and their branches will be permanently attached to it. The whole lampstand should be one piece of pure hammered gold. 37 Make its seven lamps and set up its lamps so that they direct their light in front of the lampstand. 38 You should also make its tongs and fire pans out of pure gold. 39 All these items should be made from pure gold weighing one kikkar. 40 See to it that you make them according to the blueprint for them that you were shown on the mountain.

Las ofrendas para el santuario
25 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: 2 «Dile al pueblo de Israel que el que quiera hacerme una ofrenda, puede traerme 3 cualquiera de las siguientes cosas: oro, plata, bronce, 4 tela azul, morada o escarlata, lino fino, pelo de cabra, 5 pieles de carnero teñidas de rojo, pieles de cabra, madera de acacia, 6 aceite de oliva para las lámparas, especias para el aceite de la unción y para el incienso perfumado, 7 piedras de ónice y piedras finas para colocarlas en el efod y el pectoral. 8 Quiero que el pueblo de Israel me haga un santuario donde pueda habitar en medio de ellos. 9 Mi santuario será una tienda, un tabernáculo. Yo te daré el diseño de la construcción y los detalles de todos los utensilios.
El cofre
10 »Harás un cofre de madera de acacia, de un metro y diez centímetros de largo, por setenta centímetros de ancho y setenta de alto. 11 Lo recubrirás por dentro y por fuera con oro puro, y le pondrás una moldura de oro. 12 Harás cuatro argollas de oro y se las pondrás en las cuatro esquinas inferiores, dos por cada costado. 13-14 También harás unas varas de madera de acacia cubiertas de oro, y las pasarás por las argollas de los costados, para transportarlo. 15 Estas varas nunca serán sacadas de las argollas. 16 Cuando el cofre esté terminado, colocarás dentro de él las tablas que yo te daré con los Diez Mandamientos grabados en ellas.
17 »También le harás al cofre una cubierta de oro puro de un metro y diez centímetros de largo, por setenta centímetros de ancho. 18 Harás también dos querubines de oro, trabajados a martillo, y los colocarás a los dos extremos de la cubierta del cofre. 19 Tanto la tapa del cofre como los dos querubines serán hechos de una sola pieza. 20 Los querubines estarán uno frente al otro, mirando hacia el centro de la tapa del cofre, y tendrán sus alas extendidas sobre la cubierta de oro. 21 Pondrás la cubierta sobre el cofre y dentro pondrás las tablas de piedra que yo te daré. 22 Y me encontraré contigo allí, y conversaré contigo exactamente entre los dos querubines; y el cofre contendrá las leyes de mi pacto. Allí te diré los mandamientos que he promulgado para el pueblo de Israel.
La mesa
23 »Luego harás una mesa de madera de acacia, de noventa centímetros de largo, cuarenta y cinco de ancho y setenta de alto. 24 La cubrirás con oro puro y le harás una moldura de oro alrededor. 25 Le harás un borde de siete centímetros y medio de ancho. Alrededor del borde le pondrás una moldura de oro. 26-27 Harás cuatro argollas de oro y las pondrás en los costados, junto a las cuatro patas, cerca de la parte superior. Por ellas pasarán las varas que servirán para transportar la mesa. 28 Las varas las harás de madera de acacia, recubiertas de oro. 29 También harás tazones de oro, platos, cucharas, jarros y tazas para las ofrendas de líquidos. 30 Sobre la mesa pondrás el pan de la Presencia, el cual deberá permanecer continuamente delante de mí.
El candelabro
31 »Harás un candelabro de oro puro, fundido y martillado. Todo el candelabro y sus decorados estarán hechos de una sola pieza: la base, el tallo, los cálices, las copas y las flores. 32 De cada lado del candelabro central saldrán tres brazos, 33 cada uno de los cuales estará decorado con cálices en forma de flor de almendro. 34-35 El candelabro central también estará decorado con cuatro cálices en forma de flor de almendro, con sus capullos y flores. Cada uno será colocado debajo de cada juego de brazos. 36 Estos adornos, los brazos y el candelabro central, serán de una pieza de oro martillado.
37 »Harás siete lámparas para el candelabro, y las pondrás de modo que alumbren hacia adelante. 38 Sus despabiladeras y sus platillos serán también de oro puro. 39 Necesitarás unos treinta y tres kilos de oro fino para el candelabro y todos sus accesorios.
40 »Ten cuidado de hacer todo siguiendo el modelo que te he mostrado aquí en el monte.

Offerings for the Tabernacle(A)
25 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts(B) them to give. 3 These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze; 4 blue, purple and scarlet yarn(C) and fine linen; goat hair; 5 ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather[a];(D) acacia wood;(E) 6 olive oil(F) for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;(G) 7 and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod(H) and breastpiece.(I)
8 “Then have them make a sanctuary(J) for me, and I will dwell(K) among them. 9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern(L) I will show you.
The Ark(M)
10 “Have them make an ark[b](N) of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[c] 11 Overlay(O) it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. 12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings(P) on one side and two rings on the other. 13 Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.(Q) 14 Insert the poles(R) into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it. 15 The poles are to remain in the rings of this ark; they are not to be removed.(S) 16 Then put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law,(T) which I will give you.
17 “Make an atonement cover(U) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 18 And make two cherubim(V) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 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. 20 The cherubim(W) are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing(X) the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. 21 Place the cover on top of the ark(Y) and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law(Z) that I will give you. 22 There, above the cover between the two cherubim(AA) that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet(AB) with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.(AC)
The Table(AD)
23 “Make a table(AE) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[d] 24 Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. 25 Also make around it a rim a handbreadth[e] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 26 Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners, where the four legs are. 27 The rings are to be close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 28 Make the poles of acacia wood, overlay them with gold(AF) and carry the table with them. 29 And make its plates and dishes of pure gold, as well as its pitchers and bowls for the pouring out of offerings.(AG) 30 Put the bread of the Presence(AH) on this table to be before me at all times.
The Lampstand(AI)
31 “Make a lampstand(AJ) of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 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. 34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 35 One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 36 The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.(AK)
37 “Then make its seven lamps(AL) and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. 38 Its wick trimmers and trays(AM) are to be of pure gold. 39 A talent[f] of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories. 40 See that you make them according to the pattern(AN) shown you on the mountain.
