Exodus 25

CHAPTER 25 First-fruits and the Sanctuary

1 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel! And take to me first-fruits of all the things which seem good in the heart! You shall take the first-fruits of mine. 3 And this is the first-fruit which you shall take of them -- gold, silver, brass, 4 blue, purple, scarlet doubled up, and linen being twined, and hairs of goats, 5 and skins of rams being dyed red, and skins of blue, and [²wood ¹incorruptible], 6 and oil for the giving light, incenses for the oil of the anointing, and for the composition of the incense, 7 and stones of sardius, and stones for the carving for the shoulder-piece, and the foot length robe. 8 And you shall make for me a sanctuary, and I will be seen by you. 9 And you shall make for me according to all as much as I show you in the mountain -- the model of the tent, and the model of all the items of it -- even so shall you do.

The Ark

10 And you shall make an ark of testimony from out of [²wood ¹incorruptible] -- two cubits and a half the length, and a cubit and a half the width, and a cubit and a half the height. 11 And you shall gild it [²gold ¹with pure]; from inside and from outside you shall gild it. And you shall make for it a waved border of gold, twisted round about. 12 And you shall forge for it four rings of gold; and you shall place them upon the four sides, two rings upon the [²side ¹one], and two rings upon the [²side ¹second]. 13 And you shall make bearing poles from [²wood ¹incorruptible], and you shall gild them with gold. 14 And you shall bring the bearing poles into the rings, the ones on the sides of the ark, to lift the ark by them. 15 In the rings of the ark of the covenant [³will be ¹the ²bearing poles] fixed. 16 And you shall put into the ark the testimonies which ever I give to you. 17 And you shall make an atonement-seat, a lid [²gold ¹of pure]; two cubits and a half is the length, and a cubit and a half the width. 18 And you shall make two cherubim wrought in gold, and you shall place them at both of the sides of the atonement-seat. 19 You shall make [²cherub ¹one] from out of this one side, and [²cherub ¹one] from out of [³side ¹the ²second] of the atonement-seat. Thus you shall make the two cherubim upon the two sides. 20 [⁴will be ¹The ²two ³cherubim] stretching out the wings on top, overshadowing with their wings above the atonement-seat, and their faces to one another; [⁶towards ⁷the ⁸atonement-seat ⁵will be ¹the ²faces ³of the ⁴cherubim]. 21 And you shall place the atonement-seat upon the ark from above. And into the ark you shall put the testimonies which I shall give to you. 22 And I will be known to you from there, and I will speak to you from above the atonement-seat between the two cherubim being upon the ark of the testimony, according to all as much as I give charge to you for the sons of Israel.

The Table of the Bread Loaves

23 And you shall make a table of [²woods ¹incorruptible], of two cubits being the length, and a cubit the breadth, and a cubit and a half the height. 24 And you shall gild it [²gold ¹in pure]. And you shall make for it a twisted waved border of gold round about. And you shall make for it a rim of a palm width round about. 25 And you shall make a twisted waved border on the rim round about. 26 And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and you shall place the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the rim. 27 And [³shall be ¹the ²rings] for holders for the bearing poles, so as to lift [¹the ²table]. 28 And you shall make the bearing poles from out of [²woods ¹incorruptible]. And you shall gild them [²gold ¹with pure]. And [³shall be lifted ⁴by ⁵them ¹the ²table]. 29 And you shall make its saucers, and the incense pans, and the libation bowls, and the cups, in which you shall offer a libation in them; [²gold ¹of pure] you shall make them. 30 And you shall place upon the table bread loaves face to face before me always.

The Lampstand

31 And you shall make a lamp-stand from out of [²gold ¹pure]; a turned piece you shall make the lamp-stand. Its stem, and the branches, and the basins, and the knobs, and the lilies [²of ³it ¹will be]. 32 And six branches going forth sideways -- three branches of the lamp-stand from out of the [²side ¹one], and three branches of the lamp-stand from the [²side ¹second]. 33 And three basins being shaped nut-like on the one branch, with a knob and a lily; thus to the six branches of the ones going forth from out of the lamp-stand. 34 And in the lamp-stand, four basins being shaped nut-like. To the one branch, the knobs, and its lilies. 35 And the knob under the two branches from out of it, and a knob under the other two branches from out of it, thus to the six branches -- to the ones going forth from out of the lamp-stand. 36 The knobs and the branches from out of it -- let them be entirely turned from out of one piece [²gold ¹of pure]. 37 And you shall make [³lamps ¹its ²seven]. And you shall place its lamps. And they shall shine forth from the one before it. 38 And its funnel, and its underparts from out of [²gold ¹pure]. 39 A talent [²gold ¹of pure] you shall make all these items. 40 See that you should make according to the impression being shown to you on the mountain!
