Preparing to build the dwelling
4 Moses said to the whole Israelite community, This is what the LORD has commanded:
5
Collect gift offerings for the LORD from all of you. Whoever freely wants to give should bring the LORD's gift offerings: gold, silver, and copper;
6
blue, purple, and deep red yarns; fine linen; goats' hair;
7
rams' skins dyed red; beaded leather; acacia wood;
8
the oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense;
9
gemstones; and gems for setting in the priest's vest and in the priest's chest pendant.
10
All of you who are skilled in crafts should come forward and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
11
the dwelling, its tent and its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its posts, and its bases,
12
the chest with its poles and its cover, the veil for a screen,
13
the table with its poles and all its equipment, the bread of the presence,
14
the lampstand for light with its equipment and its lamps, the oil for the light,
15
the incense altar with its poles, the anointing oil and the sweet-smelling incense, the entrance screen for the dwelling's entrance,
16
the altar for entirely burned offerings with its copper grate, its poles, and all its equipment, the washbasin with its stand,
17
the courtyard's drapes, its posts, and its bases, and the screen for the courtyard gate,
18
the dwelling's tent pegs and the courtyard's tent pegs, and their cords,
19
the woven clothing for ministering in the sanctuary, and the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and his sons for their service as priests.
