'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 'Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for Me an offering; of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take My offering.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia-wood;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 And they shall make an ark of acacia-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.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 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.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 And thou shalt make staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000D-QINU`"'14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, wherewith to bear the ark.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000E-QINU`"'15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000F-QINU`"'16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000010-QINU`"'17 And thou shalt make an ark-cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000011-QINU`"'18 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, at the two ends of the ark-cover.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000012-QINU`"'19 And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the ark-cover shall ye make the cherubim of the two ends thereof.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000013-QINU`"'20 And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, screening the ark-cover with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the ark-cover shall the faces of the cherubim be.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000014-QINU`"'21 And thou shalt put the ark-cover above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000015-QINU`"'22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will speak with thee from above the ark-cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000016-QINU`"'23 And thou shalt make a table of acacia-wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000017-QINU`"'24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000018-QINU`"'25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000019-QINU`"'26 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.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001A-QINU`"'27 Close by the border shall the rings be, for places for the staves to bear the table.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001B-QINU`"'28 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001C-QINU`"'29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and the pans thereof, and the jars thereof, and the bowls thereof, wherewith to pour out; of pure gold shalt thou make them.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001D-QINU`"'30 And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before Me alway.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001E-QINU`"'31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001F-QINU`"'32 And there shall be six branches going out of the sides thereof: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candle-stick out of the other side thereof;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000020-QINU`"'33 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the candlestick.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000021-QINU`"'34 And in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000022-QINU`"'35 And a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000023-QINU`"'36 Their knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000024-QINU`"'37 And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven; and they shall light the lamps thereof, to give light over against it.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000025-QINU`"'38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
