Exodus 25

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, that they receiue an offring for me: of euery man, whose heart giueth it freely, ye shall take the offring for me.

Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.

3 And this is the offring which ye shall take of them, golde, and siluer, and brasse,

And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,

4 And blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine linnen, and goates heare,

Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

5 And rammes skinnes coloured red, and the skinnes of badgers, and the wood Shittim,

And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:

6 Oyle for the light, spices for anoynting oyle, and for the perfume of sweete sauour,

Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:

7 Onix stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the brest plate.

Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.

8 Also they shall make me a Sanctuarie, that I may dwell among them.

And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:

9 According to all that I shewe thee, euen so shall ye make the forme of the Tabernacle, and the facion of all the instruments thereof.

According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall make it:

10 They shall make also an Arke of Shittim wood, two cubites and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie.

Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half: the breadth, a cubit and a half: the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.

11 And thou shalt ouerlay it with pure golde: within and without shalt thou ouerlay it, and shalt make vpon it a crowne of golde rounde about.

And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without: and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:

12 And thou shalt cast foure rings of golde for it, and put them in the foure corners thereof: that is, two rings shalbe on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side thereof.

And four golden rings, which thou shall put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.

13 And thou shalt make barres of Shittim wood, and couer them with golde.

Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

14 Then thou shalt put the barres in the rings by the sides of the Arke, to beare the Arke with them.

And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them.

15 The barres shalbe in the rings of the Arke: they shall not be taken away from it.

And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.

16 So thou shalt put in the Arke the Testimonie which I shall giue thee.

And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.

17 Also thou shalt make a Mercie seate of pure golde, two cubites and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade.

Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.

18 And thou shalt make two Cherubims of golde: of worke beaten out with the hammer shalt thou make the at ye two endes of the Merciseate.

Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.

19 And the one Cherub shalt thou make at the one ende, and the other Cherub at the other ende: of the matter of the Mercieseate shall ye make the Cherubims, on the two endes thereof.

Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.

20 And the Cherubims shall stretche their winges on hie, couering the Mercie seate with their winges, and their faces one to another: to the Mercie seate warde shall the faces of the Cherubims be.

Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered.

21 And thou shalt put the Mercieseate aboue vpon the Arke, and in the Arke thou shalt put the Testimonie, which I will giue thee,

In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.

22 And there I will declare my selfe vnto thee, and from aboue ye Mercieseate betweene ye two Cherubims, which are vpon ye Arke of ye Testimonie, I wil tel thee al things which I wil giue thee in comandement vnto ye children of Israel.

Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.

23 Thou shalt also make a Table of Shittim wood, of two cubites long, and one cubite broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie:

Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and half in height.

24 And thou shalt couer it with pure gold, and make thereto a crowne of golde round about.

And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.

25 Thou shalt also make vnto it a border of foure fingers roud about and thou shalt make a golden crowne round about the border thereof.

And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high: and over the same another little golden crown.

26 After, thou shalt make for it foure ringes of golde, and shalt put the rings in the foure corners that are in the foure feete thereof:

Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table over each foot.

27 Ouer against the border shall the rings be for places for barres, to beare the Table.

Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.

28 And thou shalt make the barres of Shittim wood, and shalt ouerlay them with golde, that the Table may be borne with them.

The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold to bear up the table.

29 Thou shalt make also dishes for it, and incense cuppes for it, and couerings for it, and goblets, wherewith it shall be couered, euen of fine golde shalt thou make them.

Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered of the purest gold.

30 And thou shalt set vpon the Table shewe bread before me continually.

And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my sight always.

31 Also thou shalt make a Candlesticke of pure golde: of worke beaten out with the hammer shall the Candlesticke be made, his shaft, and his branches, his boules, his knops: and his floures shalbe of the same.

Thou shalt make also a candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold, the shaft thereof, and the branches, the cups, and the bowls, and the lilies going forth from it.

Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of the one side, and three out of the other.

33 Three boules like vnto almondes, one knop and one floure in one braunch: and three boules like almondes in the other branch, one knop and one floure: so throughout the sixe branches that come out of the Candlesticke.

Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily; and three cups, likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six branches, that are to come out from the shaft:

34 And in the shaft of the Candlesticke shalbe foure boules like vnto almondes, his knops and his floures.

And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and at every one, bowls and lilies.

35 And there shalbe a knop vnder two branches made thereof: and a knop vnder two branches made thereof: and a knop vnder two branches made thereof, according to the sixe branches comming out of the Candlesticke.

Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six coming forth out of one shaft.

36 Their knops and their branches shall bee thereof. all this shalbe one beaten worke of pure golde.

And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten work of the purest gold.

37 And thou shalt make the seuen lampes thereof: and the lampes thereof shalt thou put thereon, to giue light toward that that is before it.

Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the candlestick, to give light over against.
