Offerings for the Tabernacle
Chapter 25
-
The LORD said to Moses,
-
"Tell the people of Israel to bring me their sacred offerings. Accept the contributions from all whose hearts are moved to offer them.
-
Here is a list of sacred offerings you may accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
-
blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth;
-
tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather; acacia wood;
-
olive oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense;
-
onyx stones, and other gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest's chestpiece.
-
"Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary so I can live among them.
-
You must build this Tabernacle and its furnishings exactly according to the pattern I will show you.Plans for the Ark of the Covenant
-
"Have the people make an Ark of acacia wood--a sacred chest 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.
-
Overlay it inside and outside with pure gold, and run a molding of gold all around it.
-
Cast four gold rings and attach them to its four feet, two rings on each side.
-
Make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
-
Insert the poles into the rings at the sides of the Ark to carry it.
-
These carrying poles must stay inside the rings; never remove them.
-
When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you.
-
"Then make the Ark's cover--the place of atonement--from pure gold. It must be 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.
-
Then make two cherubim from hammered gold, and place them on the two ends of the atonement cover.
-
Mold the cherubim on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold.
-
The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it.
-
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.
-
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.Plans for the Table
-
"Then make a table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.
-
Overlay it with pure gold and run a gold molding around the edge.
-
Decorate it with a 3-inch border all around, and run a gold molding along the border.
-
Make four gold rings for the table and attach them at the four corners next to the four legs.
-
Attach the rings near the border to hold the poles that are used to carry the table.
-
Make these poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
-
Make special containers of pure gold for the table--bowls, ladles, pitchers, and jars--to be used in pouring out liquid offerings.
-
Place the Bread of the Presence on the table to remain before me at all times.Plans for the Lampstand
-
"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.
-
Make it with six branches going out from the center stem, three on each side.
-
Each of the six branches will have three lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.
-
Craft the center stem of the lampstand with four lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.
-
There will also be an almond bud beneath each pair of branches where the six branches extend from the center stem.
-
The almond buds and branches must all be of one piece with the center stem, and they must be hammered from pure gold.
-
Then make the seven lamps for the lampstand, and set them so they reflect their light forward.
-
The lamp snuffers and trays must also be made of pure gold.
-
You will need 75 pounds of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories.
-
"Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.
