⁵ 'Take from among you an offering to Yahweh. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, Yahweh's offering: gold, silver, brass,

² "Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering.

³ This is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, brass,

⁴ blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair,

⁵ rams' skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,

⁶ oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

⁷ onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

³ Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.

⁹ My heart is toward the governors of Israel, Who offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless you Yahweh.

⁴¹ Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

⁴² A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins,{Literally, lepta (or widow's mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker's daily wages.} which equal a quadrans coin.{A quadrans is a coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day's wages for an agricultural laborer.}

⁴³ He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

⁴⁴ for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."

⁷ Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

¹¹ But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don't have.
