Exodus 25

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they take for me a heave-offering, —of every man whose heart urgeth him, shall ye take my heave-offering.

'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 heave-offering which ye shall take of them, —gold and silver and bronze;

'And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold, and silver, and brass,

4 and blue, and purple, and crimson and fine linen, and goat’s hair;

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

5 and rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins and acacia wood;

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

6 oil for giving light, —perfumes for the anointing oil, and for fragrant incense;

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

7 onyx stones, and setting stones, —for the ephod and for the breastpiece:

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

8 So shall they make for me a sanctuary, —and I will make my habitation in their midst:

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

9 according to all that, I, am shewing thee, the pattern of the habitation, and the pattern of all the furnishings thereof, even so, shall ye 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 they shall make an ark of acacia wood, -two cubits and a half, the length thereof and, a cubit and a half, the breadth thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the height thereof.

'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 overlay it with pure gold, within and without, shalt thou overlay it, —and thou shalt make thereon a rim of gold, 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 thou shalt cast for it four rings of gold, and shalt put them on the four feet thereof, —even two rings on the one side thereof, and two rings on the other side thereof.

14 And thou shalt bring in the staves into the rings, on the sides of the ark, —to bear the ark therewith,

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

15 In the rings of the ark, shall remain the staves, —they shall not be removed therefrom.

16 And thou shalt put into the ark, —the testimony which I will give unto thee.

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

17 And thou shalt make a propitiatory, of pure gold, —two cubits and a half, the length thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the breadth thereof,

'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 thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, —of beaten work, shalt thou make them, out of the two ends 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 And make thou one cherub out of this end, and the other cherub out of that end, —out of the propitiatory, shall ye make the cherubim upon the two ends thereof.

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 And the cherubim shall be spreading out two wings on high—making a shelter with their wings over the propitiatory, with their faces one towards the other, —towards the propitiatory, shall be the faces of the cherubim.

'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 thou shalt put the propitiatory upon the ark above, —and in the ark, shalt thou put the testimony, which I will give unto thee.

'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 meet with thee there, and will speak with thee from off the propitiatory, from between the two cherubim, which are upon the ark of the testimony, —whatsoever I may give thee in charge, for the sons 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 thou shalt make a table, of acacia wood, two cubits, the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

25 and thou shalt make thereto a border of a handbreadth, round about, —and shalt make a rim of gold to the border thereof, 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 thou shalt make to it four rings of gold, —and shalt place the rings on the four corners which pertain to the four feet thereof:

'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 adjoining the border, shall be the rings, —as receptacles for the staves, for lifting the table;

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

'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 with, six branches, coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand, out the one side thereof, and three branches of the lampstand, out of the other side thereof:

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 three cups like almond-flowers, in the one branch apple and blossom, and, three cups like almond-flowers, in the other branch apple and blossom, so, for the six branches, coming out of the lampstand.

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 lampstand itself, four cups, —like almond-flowers—its apples, and its blossoms;

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