约柜

Speak unto the children of Israel. that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and line linen, and goats' hair.

And rams' skin dyed red. and badgers' skins, and shittim wood.

Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

And they shall make an ark of shittim 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.

And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it. and two rings in the other side of it.

And thou shall make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark.that the ark may be borne with them.

The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.

And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

你告诉以色列人当为我送礼物来，凡甘心乐意的，你们就可以收下归我，

所要收的礼物，就是金、银、铜、

染红的公羊皮，海狗皮，皂荚木，

又当为我造圣所，使我可以住在他们中间。

制造帐幕和其中的一切器具，都要照我所指示你的样式。

要用皂荚木作一柜，共二肘半，宽一肘半，高一肘半。

要里外包上精金，四围镶上金牙边。

也要铸四个金环，安在柜的四脚上，这边两环，那边两环。
