(Exo. 25:1-9)

4 Then Mosheh (Moses) told all the assembled Israelis, “This is what Yahweh instructed: 5 Take up an offering for Yahweh—everyone who wants to participate should bring to Yahweh their contribution of gold, silver, bronze, 6 blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, finely-spun linen and goats’ hair, 7 reddened ram skins, sea-cow hides, and acacia wood, 8 olive oil for the lamps and spices to make the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, 9 and onyx and other gemstones for the priest’s sacred apron and chest pouch.

4 And_ Mosheh _he/it _said to all _of the _congregation _of the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) to_say this is_the_message which YHWH he _has _commanded to_say.

5 Take from_with_yourselves a _contribution to/for_YHWH every _of (the)_person_willing _of his/its_heart let_him _bring _it DOM the _contribution _of YHWH gold and_silver and_bronze.

6 And_violet _stuff and_purple and_scarlet _stuff _of scarlet and_fine _linen and_goat _hair(s).

7 And_hides _of rams dyed _red and_skins _of dolphins and_wood(s)_of acacia.
