1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and they take a raised-offering for Me; you take My raised-offering from every man whose heart impels him. 3 And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze, 4 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair], 5 and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood, 6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the spices, 7 shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate. 8 And they have made a sanctuary for Me, and I have dwelt in their midst; 9 according to all that which I am showing you, the pattern of the Dwelling Place, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so you make [it]. 10 And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height; 11 and you have overlaid it [with] pure gold, you overlay it inside and outside, and you have made a ring of gold on it all around. 12 And you have cast four rings of gold for it, and have put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side; 13 and you have made poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] gold, 14 and have brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark by them; 15 the poles are in the rings of the Ark, they are not turned aside from it; 16 and you have put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark. 17 And you have made a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth; 18 and you have made two cherubim of gold; you make them beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering; 19 and make one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; at the propitiatory covering you make the cherubim on its two ends. 20 And the cherubim have been spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another—the faces of the cherubim are toward the propitiatory covering. 21 And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above, and you put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark; 22 and I have met with you there, and have spoken with you from off the propitiatory covering (from between the two cherubim, which [are] on the Ark of the Testimony) all that which I command you concerning the sons of Israel. 23 And you have made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height, 24 and have overlaid it [with] pure gold, and have made a crown of gold for it all around, 25 and have made a border of a handbreadth for it all around, and have made a crown of gold for its border all around. 26 And you have made four rings of gold for it, and have put the rings on the four corners, which [are] at its four feet; 27 close by the border are the rings for places for poles to carry the table; 28 and you have made the poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them with gold, and the table has been carried with them; 29 and you have made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; you make them of pure gold; 30 and you have put Bread of the Presentation on the table before Me continually. 31 And you have made a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand is made of beaten work; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers are of the same; 32 and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of the first side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the second side; 33 three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower—so for the six branches which are coming out from the lampstand. 34 And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knobs and its flowers; 35 and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand; 36 their knobs and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold; 37 and you have made its seven lamps, and [one] has caused its lamps to go up, and it has given light over [and] beyond its front. 38 And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold; 39 he makes it of a talent of pure gold, with all these vessels. 40 Now see and make [them] by their pattern which you are shown on the mountain.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 25:10 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapters XXIII–XXIV)

    … taken care that the types were found in things more exactly correspondent and more holy; and, above all, in the case of the Ark of the Covenant, on account of which the whole tabernacle of witness was formed. Now it was constructed thus: its length was two cubits and a half, its breadth one cubit and a half, its height …

  2. Quotes verse 25:31 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters II–IV)

    … all things," and again, "All things of God." The word of truth has, however, frequently used this term in the case of the material, as when it says "Thou shalt make an ark of incorruptible wood;" and "Thou shalt make the candlestick of pure gold;" and "The first man is of the earth, earthy;" and "Thou art formed out of …

  3. Quotes verse 25:18 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book IV, Chapters XV–XVI)

    The Cherubim, too, which o'ershadow the mercy seat, are they not the work of men's hands?

  4. Quotes verse 25:17 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapters XXIII–XXIV)

    … half, its breadth one cubit and a half, its height one cubit and a half; but such a number of cubits in no respect corresponds with their system, yet by it the type ought to have been, beyond everything else, clearly set forth. The mercy-seat also does in like manner not at all harmonize with their expositions.

  5. Quotes verse 25:23 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapters XXIII–XXIV)

    The mercy-seat also does in like manner not at all harmonize with their expositions. Moreover, the table of shew-bread was two cubits in length, while its height was a cubit and a half.
