Exodus 25
New American Standard Bible
Offerings for the Sanctuary
25 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “(A)Tell the sons of Israel to take a [a]contribution for Me; (B)from everyone whose heart moves him you shall take My [b]contribution. 3 This is the [c]contribution which you are to take from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 4 [d](C)violet, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, 5 rams’ skins dyed red, [e]fine leather, acacia wood, 6 (D)oil for lighting, (E)balsam oil for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7 onyx stones and setting stones for the (F)ephod and for the [f](G)breastpiece. 8 Have them (H)construct a sanctuary for Me, (I)so that I may dwell among them. 9 (J)According to all that I am going to show you as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, so you shall construct it.
Ark of the Covenant
10 “Now (K)they shall construct an [g]ark of acacia wood [h]two and a half cubits [i]long, one and a half cubits [j]wide, and one and a half cubits [k]high. 11 You shall (L)overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding [l]around it. 12 You shall also cast four gold rings for it and [m]fasten them on its four feet; two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them. 15 The (M)poles shall [n]remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16 You shall (N)put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
17 “And you shall (O)make [o]an atoning cover of pure gold, [p]two and a half cubits [q]long and one and a half cubits [r]wide. 18 You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work [s]at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19 Make one cherub [t]at one end and one cherub [u]at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece [v]with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20 And (P)the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and [w]facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21 Then (Q)you shall put the atoning cover [x]on top of the ark, and (R)in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 22 (S)There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from (T)between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about [y]every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.
Bread of the Presence
23 “(U)You shall also make a table of acacia wood, [z]two cubits [aa]long and one cubit [ab]wide, and one and a half cubits [ac]high. 24 You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold (V)border around it. 25 And you shall make for it a rim of a [ad]hand width around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around it. 26 You shall also make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four legs. 27 The rings shall be close to the rim, as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that with them the table may be carried. 29 You shall also make its (W)dishes, its pans, its jars, and its libation bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30 And you shall set (X)the bread of the [ae]Presence on the table before Me continually.
The Golden Lampstand
31 “(Y)Then you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand, its base and its shaft, are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its [af]bulbs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 32 (Z)Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its [ag]other side. 33 (AA)Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms on the one branch, a [ah]bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the [ai]other branch, a [aj]bulb and a flower—the same for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34 and (AB)on the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its [ak]bulbs and its flowers. 35 (AC)A [al]bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a [am]bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a [an]bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 36 (AD)Their [ao]bulbs and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it shall be one piece of hammered work of pure gold. 37 Then you shall make its lamps seven in number; and (AE)they shall [ap]mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. 38 Its tongs and its trays shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made from a [aq]talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 40 (AF)See that you make them (AG)by the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.

為聖所奉獻(A)
25 耶和華對摩西說： 2 “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。 3 以下是你們要從他們收取的禮物：金、銀、銅、 4 藍色紫色朱紅色線、細麻、山羊毛、 5 染紅的公羊皮、海狗皮、皂莢木、 6 燈油、膏油的香料和焚香用的香料， 7 紅瑪瑙和鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的寶石。 8 他們要為我建造聖所，使我可以在他們中間居住。 9 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。”
