And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take first fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and you shall take my first fruits.

'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.

3 And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold and silver and brass,

'And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from 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,

and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

8 And you shall make me a sanctuary, and I will appear amongst you.

'And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst;

9 And you shall make for me according to all things which I show you in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shall you make it.

according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make [it].

10 And you shall 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.

'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 And you shall gild it with pure gold, you shall gild it within and without; and you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about.

and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.

12 And you shall cast for it four golden rings, and shall put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side.

'And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

13 And you shall make staves [of] incorruptible wood, and shall gild them with gold.

and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] gold,

14 And you shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark with them.

and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them,

15 The staves shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark.

in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it;

16 And you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.

and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.

17 And you shall 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.

'And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

18 And you shall make two cherubs graven in gold, and you shall put them on both sides of the propitiatory.

and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

19 They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory; and you shall make the two cherubs on the two sides.

and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.

20 The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be towards each other, the faces of the cherubs shall be towards the propitiatory.

'And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another — towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.

21 And you shall set the propitiatory on the ark above, and you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.

'And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee;

22 And I will make myself known to you from thence, and I will speak to you above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge you concerning the children of Israel.

and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which [are] on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.

23 And you shall make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half.

'And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

24 And you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and you shall make for it a crown of an hand-breadth round about.

and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about,

25 And you shall make a twisted wreath for the crown round about.

and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about.

26 And you shall make four golden rings; and you shall put the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the crown.

'And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put the rings on the four corners, which [are] to its four feet;

27 And the rings shall be for bearings for the staves, that they may bear the table with them.

over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table;

28 And you shall make the staves of incorruptible wood, and you shall gild them with pure gold; and the table shall be borne with them.

and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them;

29 And you shall make its dishes and its censers, and its bowls, and its cups, with which you shall offer drink-offerings: of pure gold shall you make them.

and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them;

30 And you shall set upon the table show bread before me continually.

and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.

31 And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold; you shall 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.

'And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same;

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.

and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second 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,

three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick.

34 and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds, in each branch knops and the flowers of the same.

'And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers;

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.

and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick;

36 Let the knops and the branches be of one piece, altogether graven of one piece of pure gold.

their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;

37 And you shall make its seven lamps: and you shall set on [it] the lamps, and they shall shine from one front.

and thou hast made its seven lamps, and [one] hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front.

38 And you shall make its funnel and its snuff-dishes of pure gold.

'And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;

39 All these articles [shall be] a talent of pure gold.

of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels.

40 See, you shall make them according to the pattern showed you in the mount.

And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.
