bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you
shall take My offering. 3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them:
gold, silver, and bronze; 4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and
goats’ hair; 5 ram skins dyed red, [b]badger skins, and acacia wood; 6 oil for the
light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 7 onyx stones,
and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. 8 And let them make Me
a sanctuary,[c] that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I show
you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just
so you shall make it.
