1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, that they abring me an boffering: of every man that giveth it 1willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
3And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
4And 1blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine alinen, and goats' hair,
5And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and 1shittim wood,
61Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for 2sweet incense,
71Onyx stones, and stones to be set in 2the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8And 1let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern 1of the tabernacle, and the pattern of 2all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

21And thou shalt put the 1mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the 2testimony that I shall give thee.
