Bible Verses About Tabernacle: Made of the free-will offerings of the people

ADONAI said to Moshe,

"Tell the people of Isra'el to take up a collection for me -accept a contribution from anyone who wholeheartedly wants to give.

The contribution you are to take from them is to consist of gold, silver and bronze;

blue, purple and scarlet yarn; fine linen, goat's hair,

tanned ram skins and fine leather; acacia-wood;

oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

onyx stones and other stones to be set, for the ritual vest and breastplate.

"They are to make me a sanctuary, so that I may live among them.

Moshe said to the whole community of the people of Isra'el, "Here is what ADONAI has ordered:

'Take up a collection for ADONAI from among yourselves -anyone whose heart makes him willing is to bring the offering for ADONAI: gold, silver and bronze;

and they came, everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit made him willing, and brought ADONAI's offering for the work on the tent of meeting, for the service in it and for the holy garments.

Both men and women came, as many as had willing hearts; they brought nose-rings, earrings, signet-rings, belts, all kinds of gold jewelry - everyone bringing an offering of gold to ADONAI.

Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn; fine linen; tanned ram skins or fine leather brought them.

Everyone contributing silver or bronze brought his offering for ADONAI, and everyone who had acacia-wood suitable for any of the work brought it.

All the women who were skilled at spinning got to work and brought what they had spun, the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and the fine linen.

Likewise the women whose heart stirred them to use their skill spun the goat's hair.

The leaders brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set, for the ritual vest and the breasplate;

the spices; and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.

Thus every man and woman of the people of Isra'el whose heart impelled him to contribute to any of the work ADONAI had ordered through Moshe brought it to ADONAI as a voluntary offering.
