Offerings for the Sanctuary

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 (A)Tell the sons of Israel to (a)raise a (b)contribution for Me; (B)from every man whose heart moves him you shall (c)raise My (d)contribution. 3 This is the (e)contribution which you are to (f)raise from them: gold, silver and bronze, 4 (g)(C)blue, purple and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, 5 rams’ skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia wood, 6 (D)oil for lighting, (E)spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7 onyx stones and setting stones for the (F)ephod and for the (h)(G)breastpiece. 8 Let them (H)construct a sanctuary for Me, (I)that I may dwell among them. 9 (J)According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it.
