Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of
every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
|
| 25:3
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver,
and brass,
|
| 25:4
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, |
|
| 25:5
And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, |
|
| 25:6
Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, |
|
| 25:7
Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. |
|
| 25:8
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. |
|
| 25:9
According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle,
and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. |
|
| 25:10
And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be
the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit
and a half the height thereof. |
|
| 25:11
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou
overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. |
|
| 25:12

corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings
in the other side of it. |

two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends
of the mercy seat. |
God tells Moses to make some
graven images for him, contrary to the
commandment given in Ex.20:4 and Dt.5:8.
Is it OK to make graven images?
|
| 25:19
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end:
even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
|
| 25:20
And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the
mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another;
toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. |
|
| 25:21
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou
shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. |
|
| 25:22
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above
the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the
testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the
children of Israel. |
|
| 25:23
Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof. |
|
| 25:24

round about. |

thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. |
|

four corners that are on the four feet thereof. |
|
| 25:27
Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to
bear the table. |
|
| 25:28
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold, that the table may be borne with them. |
|

thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make
them. |
|
| 25:30
And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway. |
|
| 25:31

candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and
his flowers, shall be of the same. |

candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out
of the other side: |

according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. |

Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one
beaten work of pure gold. |

Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. |

the mount. |
