2Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.
2Say to the children of Israel that they are to make me an offering; from every man who has the impulse in his heart take an offering for me.
3And these are the things you must take: Gold, and silver, and brass,
3And this is the offering you are to take from them: gold and silver and brass;
4Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
4And blue and purple and red, and the best linen, and goats' hair;
5And rams' skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:
5And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood;
6Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:
6Oil for the light, spices for the sweet-smelling oil, sweet perfumes for burning;
7Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.
7Beryls and stones of value to be put on the ephod and on the priest's bag.
8And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:
8And let them make me a holy place, so that I may be ever present among them.
9According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall make it:
9Make the House and everything in it from the designs which I will give you.
10Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half; the breadth, a cubit and a half; the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.
10And they are to make an ark of hard wood; two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide and high.
11And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, within and without; and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:
11It is to be plated inside and out with the best gold, with an edge of gold all round it
12And four golden rings, which thou shalt put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.
12And make four rings of gold for it, to be fixed on its four feet, two rings on one side of it and two on the other.
13Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
13And make rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.
14And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them:
14And put the rods through the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.
15And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.
15The rods are to be kept in the rings, and never taken out.
16And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.
16Inside the ark you are to put the record which I will give you.
17Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.
17And you are to make a cover of the best gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
18Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.
18And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold,
19Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.
19One at one end and one at the other; the winged ones are to be part of the cover.
20Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered.
20And their wings are to be outstretched over the cover, and the winged ones are to be opposite one another, facing the cover.
21In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.
21And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you.
22Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.
22And there, between the two winged ones on the cover of the ark, I will come to you, face to face, and make clear to you all the orders I have to give you for the children of Israel.
23Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and a half in height.
23And you are to make a table of the same wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high,
24And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.
24Plated with the best gold, with a gold edge all round it;
25And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high; and over the same another little golden crown.
25And make a frame all round it, as wide as a man's hand, with a gold edge to the frame.
26Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.
26And make four gold rings and put them at the four angles, on the four feet of the table;
27Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.
27The rings are to be fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table is to be lifted.
28The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold, to bear up the table.
28Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table.
29Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered, of the purest gold.
29And make the table-vessels, the spoons and the cups and the basins for liquids, all of the best gold.
30And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my sight always.
30And on the table at all times you are to keep my holy bread.
31Thou shalt make also a candlestick of beaten work, of the finest gold, the shaft thereof, and the branches, the cups, and the bowls, and the lilies going forth from it.
31And you are to make a support for lights, of the best gold; its base and its pillar are to be of hammered gold; its cups, its buds, and its flowers are to be made of the same metal.
32Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of one side, and three out of the other.
32It is to have six branches coming out from its sides; three branches from one side and three from the other.
33Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily: and three cups likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six branches, that are to come out from the shaft:
33Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower, on all the branches.
34And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and at every one bowls and lilies.
34And on the pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower:
35Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six, coming forth out of one shaft.
35And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all the six branches of it.
36And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten work of the purest gold.
36The buds and the branches are to be made of the same metal; all together one complete work of hammered gold.
37Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the candlestick, to give light over against.
37Then you are to make its seven vessels for the lights, putting them in their place so that they give light in front of it.
38The snuffers also, and where the snuffings shall be put out, shall be made of the purest gold.
38And the instruments and trays for use with it are all to be of the best gold.
