1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks 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 sons of Israel, and they take a raised-offering for Me; you take My raised-offering from every man whose heart impels him.

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

And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze,

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

and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],

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

and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,

oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the spices,

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

shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

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

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

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 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 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.

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

and you have made poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid 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 have brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark by them;

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

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

and you have put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark.

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

And you have made a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

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.

and you have made two cherubim of gold; you make them beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering;

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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.
