Instruction to Collect Materials

25 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Speak to the Israelites,^[a] and let them bring to me a contribution. You will receive my contribution from every man whose heart prompts him. ³ And this is the contribution that you will receive from them—gold and silver and bronze, ⁴ blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine linen and goat hair, ⁵ and red-dyed ram skins, and fine leather,^[b] and acacia wood, ⁶ oil for the lamp, balsam oils for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, ⁷ onyx stones and stones for mountings on the ephod and the breast piece. ⁸ And make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell in the midst of them, ⁹ according to all that I show you—the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its equipment—and so you will do.
