1Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From every man whose heart moves him, you shall take my offering.

3And this is the contribution that you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze.

4and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen, and goat hair,

5ram skins dyed red, fine leather skins, and acacia wood,

6oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the incense of spices,

7onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.

8And let them make a sanctuary for me, so that I may dwell among them.

9Exactly according to all that I am showing you—the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings—so you shall make it.
