Sinai & The Law

And these are the things you must take: Gold, and silver, and brass,

Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

And rams' skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:

Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:

Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.

And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:

According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall make it:

Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half; the breadth, a cubit and a half; the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.

And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, within and without; and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:

And four golden rings, which thou shalt put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.

Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them:

And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.

And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.

Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.

Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.

Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.

Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered.

In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.

Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.

Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and a half in height.

And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.

And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high; and over the same another little golden crown.

Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.

Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.
