Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

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

And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

9 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].

According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
