What the Israelites were to offer for making the holy tent

And the Lord said to Moses, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Say to the children of Israel that they are to make me an offering; from every man who has the impulse in his heart take an offering for me. Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
And this is the offering you are to take from them: gold and silver and brass; And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
And blue and purple and red, and the best linen, and goats' hair; And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood; And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
Oil for the light, spices for the sweet-smelling oil, sweet perfumes for burning; Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
Beryls and stones of value to be put on the ephod and on the priest's bag. Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
And let them make me a holy place, so that I may be ever present among them. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Make the House and everything in it from the designs which I will give you. According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

The ark

And they are to make an ark of hard wood; two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide and high. And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
It is to be plated inside and out with the best gold, with an edge of gold all round it And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
And make four rings of gold for it, to be fixed on its four feet, two rings on one side of it and two on the other. And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
And make rods of the same wood, plating them with gold. And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
And put the rods through the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it. And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
The rods are to be kept in the rings, and never taken out. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
Inside the ark you are to put the record which I will give you. And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
And you are to make a cover of the best gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold, And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
One at one end and one at the other; the winged ones are to be part of the cover. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
And their wings are to be outstretched over the cover, and the winged ones are to be opposite one another, facing the cover. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you. And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
And there, between the two winged ones on the cover of the ark, I will come to you, face to face, and make clear to you all the orders I have to give you for the children of Israel. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

The table, with its furniture

And you are to make a table of the same wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high, Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
Plated with the best gold, with a gold edge all round it; And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
And make a frame all round it, as wide as a man's hand, with a gold edge to the frame. And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
And make four gold rings and put them at the four angles, on the four feet of the table; And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
The rings are to be fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table is to be lifted. Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table. And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
And make the table-vessels, the spoons and the cups and the basins for liquids, all of the best gold. And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
And on the table at all times you are to keep my holy bread. And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me alway.

The support for lights

And you are to make a support for lights, of the best gold; its base and its pillar are to be of hammered gold; its cups, its buds, and its flowers are to be made of the same metal. And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
It is to have six branches coming out from its sides; three branches from one side and three from the other. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower, on all the branches. Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
And on the pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower: And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all the six branches of it. And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
The buds and the branches are to be made of the same metal; all together one complete work of hammered gold. Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
