Exodus 25
|
And the Lord said to Moses, | And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
Say 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. | Speak 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. |
And this is the offering you are to take from them: gold and silver and brass; | And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass, |
And blue and purple and red, and the best linen, and goats' hair; | and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair], |
And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood; | and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood, |
Oil for the light, spices for the sweet-smelling oil, sweet perfumes for burning; | oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, |
Beryls and stones of value to be put on the ephod and on the priest's bag. | onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate. |
And let them make me a holy place, so that I may be ever present among them. | And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. |
Make the House and everything in it from the designs which I will give you. | According 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. |
And they are to make an ark of hard wood; two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide and high. | And they shall make an ark of acacia 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. |
It is to be plated inside and out with the best gold, with an edge of gold all round it | 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. |
And 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. | And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. |
And make rods of the same wood, plating them with gold. | And thou shalt make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. |
And put the rods through the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it. | And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, wherewith to bear the ark. |
The rods are to be kept in the rings, and never taken out. | The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. |
Inside the ark you are to put the record which I will give you. | And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. |
And you are to make a cover of the best gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. | And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. |
And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold, | And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat. |
One at one end and one at the other; the winged ones are to be part of the cover. | And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. |
And their wings are to be outstretched over the cover, and the winged ones are to be opposite one another, facing the cover. | And 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. |
And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you. | And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. |
And 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. | And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. |
And you are to make a table of the same wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high, | And thou shalt make a table of acacia wood: two cubits [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. |
Plated with the best gold, with a gold edge all round it; | And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. |
And make a frame all round it, as wide as a man's hand, with a gold edge to the frame. | And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about; and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. |
And make four gold rings and put them at the four angles, on the four feet of the table; | And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. |
The rings are to be fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table is to be lifted. | Close by the border shall the rings be, for places for the staves to bear the table. |
Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table. | And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. |
And make the table-vessels, the spoons and the cups and the basins for liquids, all of the best gold. | And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and the spoons thereof, and the flagons thereof, and the bowls thereof, wherewith to pour out: of pure gold shalt thou make them. |
And on the table at all times you are to keep my holy bread. | And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me alway. |
And 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. | And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it. |
It is to have six branches coming out from its sides; three branches from one side and three from the other. | And there shall be six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof: |
Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower, on all the branches. | three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the candlestick: |
And on the pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower: | and in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof; |
And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all the six branches of it. | and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick. |
The buds and the branches are to be made of the same metal; all together one complete work of hammered gold. | Their knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold. |
Then you are to make its seven vessels for the lights, putting them in their place so that they give light in front of it. | And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven: and they shall light the lamps thereof, to give light over against it. |
And the instruments and trays for use with it are all to be of the best gold. | And the snuffers thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. |
A talent of gold will be needed for it, with all these vessels. | Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels. |
And see that you make them from the design which you saw on the mountain. | And see that thou make them after their pattern, which hath been showed thee in the mount. |
