Exodus 25

YHWH instructs Moses to collect voluntary offerings of gold, silver, bronze, fabrics, wood, oil, spices, and gems from Israel to build a sanctuary where He will dwell among them; detailed plans follow for the **Ark of the Covenant** (Aron ha-Brit) with its rings, poles, and **mercy seat** (kapporet) flanked by cherubim, the **table** for showbread, and the **golden lampstand** (menorah) with seven lamps.[1][4][6]
