The Lord said to Moses, speak to the sons of Israel that they take for me an offering from every man whose heart makes him willing, you shall receive the offering for me. And this is the offering which you shall receive from them. Gold, silver and bronze, blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen, goat's hair, tanned ram's skins, goat skins, acacia wood,
oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. And let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell in their midst. According to all that I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, of all its furniture, so you shall make it. The Ark of the Covenant.
They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half shall be its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. And you shall overlay it with pure gold. Within and without shall you overlay it. And you shall make upon it a molding of gold round about.
And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on the one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark by them. The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it.
