25:1 The Lord spoke to Moses :
25:2 “Tell the Israelites to take an offering for me; from every person motivated by a willing heart you are to receive my offering .
25:3 This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold , silver , bronze ,
25:4 blue , purple , scarlet , fine linen , goat’s hair,
25:5 ram skins dyed red , fine leather , acacia wood ,
25:6 oil for the light , spices for the anointing oil and for fragrant incense ,
25:7 onyx stones , and other gems to be set in the ephod and in the breastpiece .
25:8 Let them make for me a sanctuary , so that I may live among them.
25:9 According to all that I am showing you– the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings – you must make it exactly so .
The Ark of the Covenant
25:10 “They are to make an ark of acacia wood – its length is to be three feet nine inches , its width two feet three inches , and its height two feet three inches .
25:11 You are to overlay it with pure gold – both inside and outside you must overlay it, and you are to make a surrounding border of gold over it.
25:12 You are to cast four gold rings for it and put them on its four feet , with two rings on one side and two rings on the other side .
