25 2 The voluntary gifts for the making of the Tabernacle. 10 The form of the Ark. 17 The Mercy seat. 23 The Table. 31 The Candlestick. 40 All must be done according to the pattern.

Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

[a]Speak unto the children of Israel that they receive an offering for me: of (A)every man, whose heart giveth it freely, ye shall take the offering for me.

And this is the offering which ye shall [b]take of them, gold and silver, and brass,

And [c]blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goat’s hair,

And ram’s skins colored red, and the skins of badgers, and the wood [d]Shittim,

Oil for the light, spices for [e]anointing oil, and for the perfume of sweet savor.

Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the (B)Ephod, and in the (C)breastplate.

Also they shall make me a [f]Sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

According to all that I show thee, even so shall ye make the form of the Tabernacle, and the fashion of all the instruments thereof.
