Exodus 25:1-9

New Century Version

Gifts for the Lord

25 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Tell the Israelites to bring me gifts. Receive for me the gifts each person wants to give. ³ These are the gifts that you should receive from them: gold, silver, bronze; ⁴ blue, purple, and red thread; fine linen, goat hair, ⁵ sheepskins that are dyed red; fine leather; acacia wood; ⁶ olive oil to burn in the lamps; spices for sweet-smelling incense, and the special olive oil poured on a person’s head to make him a priest; ⁷ onyx stones, and other jewels to be put on the holy vest and the chest covering.

⁸ “The people must build a holy place for me so that I can live among them. ⁹ Build this Holy Tent and everything in it by the plan I will show you.
