Êxodo 25:1-9

1 Então disse o Senhor a Moisés:

2 Fala aos filhos de Israel que me tragam uma oferta alçada; de todo homem cujo coração se mover voluntariamente, dele tomareis a minha oferta alçada.

3 E esta é a oferta alçada que tomareis deles: ouro, prata, bronze,

4 estofo azul, púrpura, carmesim, linho fino, pêlos de cabras,

5 peles de carneiros tintas de vermelho, peles de golfinhos, madeira de acácia,

6 azeite para a luz, especiarias para o óleo da unção e para o incenso arom�tico,

7 pedras de ônix, e pedras de engaste para o éfode e para o peitoral.

8 E me farão um santuário, para que eu habite no meio deles.

9 Conforme a tudo o que eu te mostrar para modelo do tabernáculo, e para modelo de todos os seus móveis, assim mesmo o fareis.
