The Lord said to Moses, |
2
|
"Tell the Israelites to bring me gifts. You will accept gifts for me from everyone who is willing to give. |
3
|
Here is the list of the things that you should accept from the people: gold, silver, and bronze; |
4
|
blue, purple, and red yarn and fine linen; goat hair, |
5
|
ram skins dyed red, and fine leather; acacia wood; |
6
|
oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and spices for the sweetsmelling incense. |
7
|
Also accept onyx stones and other jewels to be put on the ephod and the judgment pouch. |
8
|
"The people will build a holy place for me. Then I can live among them. |
9
|
I will show you what the Holy Tent and everything in it should look like. Build everything exactly as I show you. |
10
|
"Use acacia wood and build a special box. This Holy Box must be 2?cubits long, 1?cubits wide, and 1?cubits high. |
11
|
Use pure gold to cover the Box inside and out. Put gold trim around the edges of the Box. |
12
|
Make four gold rings for carrying the Box. Put the gold rings on the four corners, two rings on each side. |
13
|
Then make poles for carrying the Box. These poles should be made from acacia wood and covered with gold. |
14
|
Put the poles through the rings on the corners of the Box. Use these poles to carry the Box. |
15
|
These poles should always stay in the rings of the Box. Don't take the poles out. |
16
|
"I will give you the Agreement. Put it into this Box. |
17
|
Then make a lid, the mercycover. Make it from pure gold. Make it 2?cubits long and 1?cubits wide. |
18
|
"Then make two Cherub angels and put them on each end of the mercy-cover. Hammer gold to make these angels. |
19
|
Put one angel on one end of the mercy-cover, and put the other angel on the other end. Join the angels together with the mercy-cover to make one piece. |
20
|
The wings of these angels should spread up toward the sky. The angels should cover the Box with their wings and should face each other, looking toward the mercy-cover. |
21
|
"I will give you the Agreement. Put it in the Box, and put the mercy-cover on the Box. |
22
|
When I meet with you, I will speak from between the Cherub angels on the mercy-cover that is on the Box of the Agreement. From that place, I will give all my commands to the Israelites. |
23
|
"Make a table from acacia wood. The table must be 2 cubits long, 1 cubit wide, and 1?cubits high. |
24
|
Cover the table with pure gold and put gold trim around it. |
25
|
Then make a frame 1 handbreadth wide around the table. And put gold trim on the frame. |
26
|
Then make four gold rings and put them on the four corners of the table, where the four legs are. |
27
|
Put the rings close to the frame around the top of the table. These rings will hold the poles used to carry the table. |
28
|
Use acacia wood to make the poles, and cover them with gold. The poles are for carrying the table. |
29
|
Make the plates, the spoons, the pitchers, and the bowls from pure gold. The pitchers and bowls will be used for pouring the drink offerings. |
30
|
Put the special bread before me on the table. It must always be there in front of me. |
31
|
"Then you must make a lampstand. Use pure gold and hammer it to make the base and the shaft. Make flowers, buds, and petals from pure gold. Join all these things together into one piece. |
32
|
"The lampstand must have six branches—three branches on one side, and three branches on the other. |
33
|
Each branch must have three flowers. Make these flowers like almond flowers with buds and petals. |
34
|
Make four more flowers for the lampstand. These flowers must be made like almond flowers with buds and petals. |
35
|
There will be six branches on the lampstand—three branches coming out from each side of the shaft. Make a flower with buds and petals below each of the three places where the branches join the shaft. |
36
|
The whole lampstand with the flowers and branches must be made from pure gold. All this gold must be hammered and joined together into one piece. |
37
|
Then make seven lamps to go on the lampstand. These lamps will give light to the area in front of the lampstand. |
38
|
Use pure gold to make the wick trimmers and the trays. |
39
|
Use 75 pounds of pure gold to make the lampstand and the things to be used with it. |
40
|
Be very careful to make everything exactly the way I showed you on the mountain. |
