And the LORD talked with Moses saying: speak unto the children of
Israel that they give me an heave offering, and of every man that
giveth it willingly with his heart, ye shall take it. And this is the
heave offering which ye shall take of them: gold, silver and brass: and
Iacinth colour, scarlet, purple, byss and goat's hair: ram's skins that
are red, and the skins of taxus and sethim wood, oil for lights, and
spices for anointing oil and for sweet cense: Onyx stones and set
stones for the Ephod and for the breastlap. And they shall make me a
sanctuary that I may dwell among them. And as I have shewed {And i
shall shew} thee the fashion of the habitation and of all the ornaments
thereof, even so see that ye make it in all things. And they shall make
an ark of sethim wood two cubits and an half long, a cubit and an half
broad and a cubit and an half high. And thou shalt overlay it with pure
gold: both within and without, and shalt make an high {hye} upon it a
crown of gold round about. And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for
it and put them in the four corners thereof, two rings on the one side
of it and two on the other. And thou shalt make staves of sethim wood
and cover them with gold, and put the staves in the rings along by the
sides of the ark, to bear it withal. And the staves shall abide in the
rings of the ark, and shall not be taken away. And thou shalt put in
the ark, the witness which I shall give thee. And thou shalt make a
mercy seat of pure gold two cubits and an half long and a cubit and an
half broad. And make two cherubins of thick gold on the two ends of the
mercy seat: and set the one cherub on the one end and the other on the
other end of the mercy seat: so see that thou make them on the two ends
thereof. And the cherubins shall stretch their wings abroad over on
high, {an hye} and cover the mercy seat with their wings, and their
faces shall look one to another: even to the mercy seat ward, shall the
faces of the cherubins be. And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon
the ark, and in the ark thou shalt put the witness which I will give
thee. There I will meet thee and will commune {common} with thee from
upon the mercy seat from between the two cherubins which are upon the
ark of witness, of all things which I will give thee in commandment
unto the children of Israel. Thou shalt also make a table of sethim
wood of two cubits long and one cubit broad and a cubit and an half
high. And cover it with pure gold and make thereto a crown of gold
round about. And make unto that an hoop of four fingers broad, round
about. And make a golden crown also to the hoop round about. And make
for it four rings of gold and put them in the corners that are on the
four feet thereof: even hard under the hoop shall the rings be, to put
in staves to bear the table withal. And thou shalt make staves of
sethim wood and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne
with them. And thou shalt make his dishes, spoons, pots and flatpieces
