Exodus 25

New Living Translation NLT

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 “Tell the people of Israel to bring me their sacred offerings. Accept the contributions from all whose hearts are moved to offer them.

3 Here is a list of sacred offerings you may accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;

4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth;

5 tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather; acacia wood;

6 olive oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense;

7 onyx stones, and other gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

8 “Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary so I can live among them.

9 You must build this Tabernacle and its furnishings exactly according to the pattern I will show you.

10 “Have the people make an Ark of acacia wood—a sacred chest 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

11 Overlay it inside and outside with pure gold, and run a molding of gold all around it.

12 Cast four gold rings and attach them to its four feet, two rings on each side.

13 Make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

14 Insert the poles into the rings at the sides of the Ark to carry it.

15 These carrying poles must stay inside the rings; never remove them.

16 When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you.

17 “Then make the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—from pure gold. It must be 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.

18 Then make two cherubim from hammered gold, and place them on the two ends of the atonement cover.

19 Mold the cherubim on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold.

20 The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it.

21 Place inside the Ark the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. Then put the atonement cover on top of the Ark.

22 I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel.

23 “Then make a table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

24 Overlay it with pure gold and run a gold molding around the edge.

25 Decorate it with a 3-inch border all around, and run a gold molding along the border.

26 Make four gold rings for the table and attach them at the four corners next to the four legs.

27 Attach the rings near the border to hold the poles that are used to carry the table.

28 Make these poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

29 Make special containers of pure gold for the table—bowls, ladles, pitchers, and jars—to be used in pouring out liquid offerings.

30 Place the Bread of the Presence on the table to remain before me at all times.

31 “Make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. Make the entire lampstand and its decorations of one piece—the base, center stem, lamp cups, buds, and petals.

32 Make it with six branches going out from the center stem, three on each side.

33 Each of the six branches will have three lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.

34 Craft the center stem of the lampstand with four lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.

35 There will also be an almond bud beneath each pair of branches where the six branches extend from the center stem.

36 The almond buds and branches must all be of one piece with the center stem, and they must be hammered from pure gold.

37 Then make the seven lamps for the lampstand, and set them so they reflect their light forward.

38 The lamp snuffers and trays must also be made of pure gold.

39 You will need 75 pounds of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories.

40 “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD said to Moses:

2 Tell the Israelites to collect gift offerings for me. Receive my gift offerings from everyone who freely wants to give.

3 These are the gift offerings that you should receive from them: gold, silver, and copper;

4 blue, purple, and deep red yarns; fine linen; goats' hair;

5 rams' skins dyed red; beaded leather; acacia wood;

6 oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense;

7 gemstones; and gems for setting in the priest's vest and chest piece.

8 They should make me a sanctuary so I can be present among them.

9 You should follow the blueprints that I will show you for the dwelling and for all its equipment.

10 Have them make an acacia-wood chest. It should be forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.

11 Cover it with pure gold, inside and out, and make a gold molding all around it.

12 Cast four gold rings for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other.

13 Make acacia-wood poles and cover them with gold.

14 Then put the poles into the rings on the chest's sides and use them to carry the chest.

15 The poles should stay in the chest's rings. They shouldn't be taken out of them.

16 Put the covenant document that I will give you into the chest.

17 Then make a cover of pure gold, forty-five inches long and twenty-seven inches wide.

18 Make two winged heavenly creatures of hammered gold, one for each end of the cover.

19 Put one winged heavenly creature at one end and one winged heavenly creature at the other. Place the winged heavenly creatures at the cover's two ends.

20 The heavenly creatures should have their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. The winged heavenly creatures should face each other toward the cover's center.

21 Put the gold cover on top of the chest and put the covenant document that I will give you inside the chest.

22 There I will meet with you. From there above the cover, from between the two winged heavenly creatures that are on top of the chest containing the covenant, I will deliver to you all that I command you concerning the Israelites.

23 Make an acacia-wood table, three feet long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.

24 Cover it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it.

25 Make a frame around it that is four inches wide and a gold molding around the frame.

26 Make four gold rings for the table. Fasten the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

27 The rings that house the poles used for carrying the table should be close to the frame.

28 Make the poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold. The table should be carried with these poles.

29 Make its plates, dishes, jars, and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them of pure gold.

30 Set the bread of the presence on the table so it is always in front of me.

31 Make a lampstand of pure hammered gold. The lampstand's base, branches, cups, flowers, and petals should all be attached to it.

32 It should have six branches growing out from its sides, three branches on one side of the lampstand and three branches on the other side of the lampstand.

33 One branch will have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals, and the next branch will also have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand.

34 In addition, on the lampstand itself there will be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its flower and petals.

35 There will be a flower attached under the first pair of branches, a flower attached under the next pair of branches, and a flower attached under the last pair of branches. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand.

36 Their flowers and their branches will be permanently attached to it. The whole lampstand should be one piece of pure hammered gold.

37 Make its seven lamps and set up its lamps so that they direct their light in front of the lampstand.

38 You should also make its tongs and fire pans out of pure gold.

39 All these items should be made from pure gold weighing one kikkar.

40 See to it that you make them according to the blueprint for them that you were shown on the mountain.
