And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “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.
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they may bring me an offering; from every man whose heart prompteth him thereto shall ye take my offering.
3 And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze,
And this is the offering which ye shall take from them: gold, and silver, and copper,
4 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],
And blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and linen thread, and goats' hair,
5 and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,
And rams' skins died red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

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].
In accordance with all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10 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 have overlaid it [with] pure gold, you overlay it inside and outside, and you have made a ring of gold on it all around.
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it; and thou shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12 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;
And thou shalt cast for it four rings of gold, and put them on the four corners thereof; namely, two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

15 the poles are in the rings of the Ark, they are not turned aside from it;
In the rings of the ark shall the staves remain: they shall not be removed therefrom.

18 and you have made two cherubim of gold; you make them beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering;
And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, on the two ends of the cover.
19 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.
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end; from the cover itself shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
20 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.
And the cherubim shall be spreading forth their wings on high, overshadowing the cover with their wings, with their faces turned one to the other; toward the cover shall the faces of the cherubim be directed.
21 And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above, and you put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark;
And thou shalt put the cover above upon the ark; and in the ark shalt thou put the testimony which I will give unto thee.
22 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.
And I will meet with thee there, and I will speak with thee from above the cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, all that which I will command thee unto the children of Israel.

Three bowls, almond-shaped, shall be on one branch, with a knob and a flower; and three bowls, almond-shaped, on the other branch, with a knob and a flower: so on the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
