1And the Lord said to Moses,
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take my offering.
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.
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.
3And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,
3And this is the offering you are to take from them: gold and silver and brass;
3And these are the things you must take: Gold, and silver, and brass,
4and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
4And blue and purple and red, and the best linen, and goats' hair;
4Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood,
5And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood;
5And rams' skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:

6Oil for the light, spices for the sweet-smelling oil, sweet perfumes for burning;
6Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:

8And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
8And let them make me a holy place, so that I may be ever present among them.

9According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it.
9Make the House and everything in it from the designs which I will give you.
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:

19Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.
20And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
20And their wings are to be outstretched over the cover, and the winged ones are to be opposite one another, facing the cover.

21And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you.
21In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.
