¹ Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do: ² For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD.

Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze; ⁶ blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair; ⁷ ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood; ⁸ olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; ⁹ and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. ¹⁰ Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded: ¹¹ the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases; ¹² the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it; ¹³ the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence; ¹⁴ the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light; ¹⁵ the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle; ¹⁶ the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand; ¹⁷ the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard; ¹⁸ the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes; ¹⁹ and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.” ²⁰ Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses. ²¹ And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments. ²² So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD. ²³ Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them. ²⁴ And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it. ²⁵ Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen. ²⁶ And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair. ²⁷ The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece, ²⁸ as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. ²⁹ So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do. ³⁰ Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. ³¹ And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship, ³² to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, ³³ to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft. ³⁴ And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. ³⁵ He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.

³³ Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent with all its furnishings, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, and its posts and bases;

⁴² The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses. ⁴³ And Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had accomplished it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them.

³² They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

¹ Then the LORD said to Moses, ² “Take Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread, ³ and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.” ⁴ So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. ⁵ And Moses said to them, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.” ⁶ Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. ⁷ He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him.

But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting. ¹⁶ Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.” ¹⁷ Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, ¹⁸ “Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites. ¹⁹ In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry. ²⁰ But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.” ²¹ And the LORD said to Moses, ²² “Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans, ²³ from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting. ²⁴ This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport: ²⁵ They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, ²⁶ the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items. ²⁷ All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry. ²⁸ This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. ²⁹ As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families, ³⁰ from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting. ³¹ This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases, ³² and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.

³² See that you do everything I command you; do not add to it or subtract from it.

²² But Samuel declared: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obedience to His voice? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams.

¹⁹ “All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”

² He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

⁵ The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

¹ Then the LORD said to Moses, ² “Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him. ³ This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze; ⁴ blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair; ⁵ ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood; ⁶ olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; ⁷ and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. ⁸ And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them. ⁹ You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you. ¹⁰ And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. ¹¹ Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. ¹² Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other. ¹³ And make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴ Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, in order to carry it. ¹⁵ The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed. ¹⁶ And place inside the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. ¹⁷ And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. ¹⁸ Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat, ¹⁹ one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold. ²⁰ And the cherubim are to have wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the mercy seat. ²¹ Set the mercy seat atop the ark, and put the Testimony that I will give you into the ark. ²² And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites. ²³ You are also to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. ²⁴ Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. ²⁵ And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. ²⁶ Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners at its four legs. ²⁷ The rings are to be close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table. ²⁸ Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them. ²⁹ You are also to make the plates and dishes, as well as the pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold. ³⁰ And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.

⁷ the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— ⁸ the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, ⁹ the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand— ¹⁰ as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests, ¹¹ in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

¹¹ the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases; ¹² the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it; ¹³ the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence; ¹⁴ the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light; ¹⁵ the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle; ¹⁶ the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand; ¹⁷ the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard; ¹⁸ the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes; ¹⁹ and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”

¹ “So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person are to carry out everything commanded by the LORD, who has given them skill and ability to know how to perform all the work of constructing the sanctuary.” ² Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had gifted—everyone whose heart stirred him to come and do the work. ³ They received from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought to carry out the service of constructing the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning, ⁴ so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work ⁵ and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.” ⁶ After Moses had given an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing more, ⁷ since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work. ⁸ All the skilled craftsmen among the workmen made the ten curtains for the tabernacle. They were made of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them. ⁹ Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size. ¹⁰ And he joined five of the curtains together, and the other five he joined as well. ¹¹ He made loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and also on the end curtain in the second set. ¹² He made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops lined up opposite one another. ¹³ He also made fifty gold clasps to join the curtains together, so that the tabernacle was a unit. ¹⁴ He then made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all. ¹⁵ Each of the eleven curtains was the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. ¹⁶ He joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. ¹⁷ He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set. ¹⁸ He also made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a unit. ¹⁹ Additionally, he made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather. ²⁰ Next, he constructed upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. ²¹ Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. ²² Two tenons were connected to each other for each frame. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. ²³ He constructed twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle, ²⁴ with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon. ²⁵ For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames ²⁶ and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame. ²⁷ He made six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side, ²⁸ and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle, ²⁹ coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. He made both corners in this way. ³⁰ So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame. ³¹ He also made five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, ³² five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west. ³³ He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other. ³⁴ And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold. ³⁵ Next, he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it. ³⁶ He also made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold, along with gold hooks; and he cast four silver bases for the posts. ³⁷ For the entrance to the tent, he made a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, ³⁸ together with five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and their five bases were bronze.

¹⁷ And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁵ Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

⁸ By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.

³⁰ And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.

⁴⁸ Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;

³¹ Then you are to make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. It shall be made of one piece, including its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.

²¹ In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.

¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

¹⁵ so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

⁶ olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

³ Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.

⁷ And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps.

¹¹ in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

⁸ olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

²⁹ He also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.

⁴ Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.

³⁰ He used it to make the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grating, all the utensils for the altar,

⁶⁴ On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.

⁹ You are also to make a courtyard for the tabernacle. On the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side, ¹⁰ with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts. ¹¹ Likewise there are to be curtains on the north side, a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. ¹² The curtains on the west side of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten bases. ¹³ The east side of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, is to be fifty cubits wide. ¹⁴ Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases, ¹⁵ and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases. ¹⁶ The gate of the courtyard shall be twenty cubits long, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It shall have four posts and four bases.

² Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.

¹ From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, as well as the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²¹ Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him. ²² But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.

¹⁰ Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:

³² So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

¹⁵ Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

³¹ And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

¹⁹ and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,

²⁵ and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

²² Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having made the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down. ²³ Moses and Aaron then entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

²³ “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: ²⁴ ‘May the LORD bless you and keep you; ²⁵ may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; ²⁶ may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’ ²⁷ So they shall put My name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

⁶ So Joshua blessed them and sent them on their way, and they went to their homes.

¹⁸ When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

¹⁴ And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all

² When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

³ And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all

²⁷ Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.

² And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.

¹¹ By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.

³¹ May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.
