1 Y el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo

2 Di a los hijos de Israel que tomen para mí ofrenda; de todo varón que la diere de su voluntad, de corazón, tomaréis mi ofrenda

3 Y ésta será la ofrenda que tomaréis de ellos: Oro, y plata, y bronce

4 y cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino fino, y pelo de cabras

5 y cueros de carneros teñidos de rojo, y cueros de tejones, y madera de cedro

6 aceite para la luminaria, especias para el aceite de la unción, y para el sahumerio aromático

7 piedras de ónice, y piedras de engastes, para el efod, y para el pectoral
