2. Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.
3. And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,
4. Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5. And rams' skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:
6. Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:
7. Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.
8. And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:
9. According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall make it:
10. Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half: the breadth, a cubit and a half: the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.
11. And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without: and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:
12. And four golden rings, which thou shall put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.
13. Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
14. And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them.
15. And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.
