An Offering for the Sanctuary

25 The Lord told Moses, ² “Tell the Israelis to take an offering for me, and you are to accept my offering from every person whose heart moves him to give.^{[a] 3} This is the offering that you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze; ⁴ blue, purple, and scarlet material;^[b] fine linen and goat hair; ⁵ ram skins dyed^[c] red, dolphin^[d] skins, and acacia wood; ⁶ oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for aromatic incense; ⁷ and onyx stones, stones for setting on the ephod and the breast piece.^{[e] 8} Let them make a sanctuary for me so I may live among them. ⁹ This is how you are to make it: according to all that I’m showing you, according to the pattern for the tent and the pattern for all its furnishings.”
