tanned u rams' skins, goatskins, acacia wood,
6
v oil for the lamps, w spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,
7
onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the x ephod and for the breastpiece.
8
And let them make me a y sanctuary, that z I may dwell in their midst.
9
a Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the b tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
10
c "They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half shall be its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
11

21
And you shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.
22
m There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from n between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you about all that I will give you in commandment for the people of Israel.
23
