1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they take a raised-offering for Me; you take My raised-offering from every man whose heart impels him.
3 This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze,
4 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

8 And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

9 You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.
according to all that which I am showing you, the pattern of the Dwelling Place, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so you make [it].
10 And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
11 Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.
and you have overlaid it [with] pure gold, you overlay it inside and outside, and you have made a ring of gold on it all around.
12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.
And you have cast four rings of gold for it, and have put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
13 And make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

14 Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, in order to carry it.

18 Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,

19 one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
and make one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; at the propitiatory covering you make the cherubim on its two ends.
20 And the cherubim are to have wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
And the cherubim have been spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another—the faces of the cherubim are toward the propitiatory covering.
21 Set the mercy seat atop the ark, and put the Testimony that I will give you into the ark.
And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above, and you put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark;
22 And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.
and I have met with you there, and have spoken with you from off the propitiatory covering (from between the two cherubim, which [are] on the Ark of the Testimony) all that which I command you concerning the sons of Israel.

34 And on the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.
