AB - Exodus - 25

25:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

25:2  Speak to the children of Israel, and take the firstfruits from all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and you shall take My firstfruits.

25:3  And this is the offering which you shall take of them: gold, silver and brass;

25:4  blue, purple, and double scarlet; fine spun linen, and goats' hair;

25:5  rams' skins dyed red, blue skins, and incorruptible wood;

25:6  and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, for the composition of incense,

25:7  and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breastplate, and the full-length robe.

25:8  And you shall make Me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you.

25:9  And you shall make for Me according to all things which I show you in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shall you make it.

25:10  And you shall make the Ark of Testimony of incorruptible wood; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half, and the height of a cubit and a half.

25:11  And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it; and you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about.

25:12  And you shall cast for it four golden rings, and shall put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side.

25:13  And you shall make poles of incorruptible wood, and shall overlay them with gold.

25:14  And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark with them.

25:15  The poles shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark.

25:16  And you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.

25:17  And you shall make a mercy seat, a lid of pure gold; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half.

25:18  And you shall make two cherubim graven in gold, and you shall put them on both sides of the mercy seat.

25:19  They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the mercy seat; and you shall make the two cherubim on the two sides.

25:20  The cherubim shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings; and their faces shall be toward each other, the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

25:21  And you shall set the mercy seat on the ark above, and you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.

25:22  And I will make Myself known to you from there, and I will speak to you from above the mercy seat between the two cherubim, which are upon the Ark of Testimony, even in all things which I shall charge you concerning the children of Israel.

25:23  And you shall make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half.

25:24  And you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and you shall make for it a crown of an handbreadth round about.

25:25  And you shall make a twisted wreath for the crown round about.

25:26  And you shall make four golden rings; and you shall put the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the crown.

25:27  And the rings shall be for bearings for the poles, that they may bear the table with them.

25:28  And you shall make the poles of incorruptible wood, and you shall overlay them with pure gold; and the table shall be borne with them.

25:29  And you shall make its dishes, its censers, its bowls, and its cups, with which you shall offer drink offerings. Of pure gold shall you make them.

25:30  And you shall set upon the table showbread before Me continually.

25:31  And you shall make a lampstand of pure gold; you shall make the lampstand of graven work: its stem and its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and its lilies shall be of one piece.

25:32  And six branches shall proceed out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.

25:33  And three bowls fashioned like almonds, on each branch a knob and a lily; so to the six branches proceeding from the lampstand,

25:34  and in the lampstand four bowls fashioned like almonds, in each branch knobs and the flowers of the same.

25:35  A knob under two branches out of it, and a knob under four branches out of it; so to the six branches proceeding from the lampstand; and in the lampstand four bowls fashioned like almonds.

25:36  Let the knobs and the branches be of one piece, altogether graven of one piece of pure gold.

25:37  And you shall make its seven lamps; and you shall set on it the lamps, and they shall shine from one front.

25:38  And you shall make its wick-trimmers and its snuff-dishes of pure gold.

25:39  All these articles shall be a talent of pure gold.

25:40  See, you shall make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mount.
