Exodus 25:1-9 - Instruction To Collect Materials
1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses. He said: 2 Tell the Israelites to choose something to give me as a special contribution. You must accept whatever contribution each person freely gives. 3 This is the type of contribution you will accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 4 violet, purple, and bright red yarns, fine linen, goats' hair, 5 rams' skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood, 6 olive oil for the lamps, spices (balsam oil) for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense, 7 onyx stones, and other precious stones to be set in the chief priest's ephod and his breastplate.
8 Have them make a holy place (sanctuary) for me, and I will live among them. 9 Make the tent and all its furnishings exactly like the plans I show you.
