Chapter 25

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² Speak to the children of Israel, and take firstfruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and ye shall take my firstfruits. ³ And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold and silver and brass, ⁴ and blue, and purple, and double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats’ hair, ⁵ and rams’ skins dyed red, and blue skins, and incorruptible wood, ⁶ and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition of incense, ⁷ and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breastplate, and the full-length robe. ⁸ And thou shalt make me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you. ⁹ And thou shalt make for me according to all things which I show thee in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shalt thou make it. ¹⁰ And thou shalt 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. ¹¹ And thou shalt gild it with pure gold, thou shalt gild it within and without; and thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about. ¹² And thou shalt cast for it four golden rings, and shalt put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side. ¹³ And thou shalt make staffs [of] incorruptible wood, and shalt gild them with gold. ¹⁴ And thou shalt put the staffs into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark with them. ¹⁵ The staffs shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark. ¹⁶ And thou shalt put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee. ¹⁷ And thou shalt make a propitiatory, a lid of pure gold; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half. ¹⁸ And thou shalt make two cherubs graven in gold, and thou shalt put them on both sides of the propitiatory. ¹⁹ They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory; and thou shalt make the two cherubs on the two sides. ²⁰ The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be toward each other, the faces of the cherubs shall be toward the propitiatory. ²¹ And thou shalt set the propitiatory on the ark above, and thou shalt put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee. ²² And I will make myself known to thee from thence, and I will speak to thee above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge thee concerning the children of Israel. ²³ And thou shalt make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half. ²⁴ And thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and thou shalt make for it a crown of a handbreadth round about.

Ex 25:1-24

²⁵ And thou shalt make a twisted wreath for the crown round about. ²⁶ And thou shalt make four golden rings; and thou shalt put the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the crown. ²⁷ And the rings shall be for bearings for the staffs, that they may bear the table with them. ²⁸ And thou shalt make the staffs of incorruptible wood, and thou shalt gild them with pure gold; and the table shall be borne with them. ²⁹ And thou shalt make its dishes and its censers, and its bowls, and its cups, with which thou shalt offer drink offerings: of pure gold shalt thou make them. ³⁰ And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me continually.

Ex 25:25-30

³¹ And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold; thou shalt make the candlestick of graven work: its stem and its branches, and its bowls and its knops and its lilies shall be of one piece. ³² And six branches proceeding sideways, three branches of the candlestick from one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side. ³³ And three bowls fashioned like almonds, on each branch a knop and a lily; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick, ³⁴ and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds, in each branch knops and the flowers of the same. ³⁵ A knop under two branches out of it, and a knop under four branches out of it; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick; and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds. ³⁶ Let the knops and the branches be of one piece, altogether graven of one piece of pure gold. ³⁷ And thou shalt make its seven lamps: and thou shalt set on [it] the lamps, and they shall shine from one front. ³⁸ And thou shalt make its funnel and its snuff dishes of pure gold. ³⁹ All these articles [shall be] a talent of pure gold. ⁴⁰ See, thou shalt make them according to the pattern shown thee in the mount.
