¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

^{2 Ref} 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 Ref} And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

^{4 Ref} And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

^{5 Ref} And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

^{6 Ref} Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

^{7 Ref} Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

^{8 Ref} And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

^{9 Ref} According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

^{10 Ref} And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

^{11 Ref} And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
