Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2
"Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
3
And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
4
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats' hair;
5
ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood;
6
oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense;
7
onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8
And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9
According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.
10
"And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.
