1 The Lord said to Moses:
2 Tell the Israelites to take for me an offering; from all whose hearts prompt them to give you shall receive the offering for me.
3 This is the offering that you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze,
4 blue, purple, and crimson yarns and fine linen, goats' hair,
5 tanned rams' skins, fine leather, acacia wood,
6 oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,
7 onyx stones and gems to be set in the ephod and for the breastpiece.
8 And have them make me a sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them.
9 In accordance with all that I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
