1 AND THE Lord said to Moses, 2 Speak to the Israelites, that they take for Me an offering. From every man who gives it willingly and ungrudgingly with his heart you shall take My offering. 3 This is the offering you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 4 Blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen and goats' hair, 5 Rams' skins tanned red, goatskins, dolphin or porpoise skins, acacia wood, 6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense, 7 Onyx stones, and stones for setting in the ephod and in the breastplate. 8 Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 9 And you shall make it according to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.
