Exodus 25 : God's instructions to build a temple and an ark for the covenant

Offerings
God asks Moses to give instructions to people about giving offerings to God. Everyone needs to give offerings to God. The offerings are to be: gold, silver, and bronze, fine linen - blue, purple, and red wool, cloth made of goats' hair, rams' skin dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood, oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense, carnelians and other jewels to be set in the ephod of the High Priest and in his breastpiece.

Sacred Tent
God gives instructions to make a sacred Tent for worship.
The people are to make a sacred Tent so that God may live among them.

Sacred Box to store the covenant
God gives instructions to create a sacred box to store the stone tablets with commandments. Box is to be of acacia wood of dimensions 45 X 27 X 27. Cover it with pure gold inside and out and put a gold border all around it. God also gives instructions about the rings in the box. It needs to have a lid of pure gold with 2 golden winged creates at the top.

After this, people are to make a table made of gold and it is to be placed in front of the Covenant Box, and on the table there is always to be the sacred bread offered to God.

Make a lampstand of pure gold with six branches extending from its sides, three from each side. Make seven lamps for the lampstand and set them up so that they shine toward the front.
