The Lord spoke to Moses:“ Tell the Israelites to take an offering for Me. You are to take My offering from everyone who is willing to give.This is the offering you are to receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze;blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;ram skins dyed red and manatee skins; acacia wood;oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;and onyx along with other gemstones for mounting on the ephod and breastpiece.“ They are to make a sanctuary for Me so that I may dwell among them.You must make it according to all that I show you— the pattern of the tabernacle as well as the pattern of all its furnishings.“ They are to make an ark of acacia wood, 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.Overlay it with pure gold; overlay it both inside and out. Also make a gold molding all around it.Cast four gold rings for it and place them on its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.Make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry the ark with them.The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed from it.Put the tablets of the testimony that I will give you into the ark.Make a mercy seat of pure gold, 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.Make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat.Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. At its two ends, make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat.The cherubim are to have wings spread out above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and are to face one another. The faces of the cherubim should be toward the mercy seat.Set the mercy seat on top of the ark and put the testimony that I will give you into the ark.I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the testimony; I will speak with you from there about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.“ You are to construct a table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it.Make a three-inch frame all around it and make a gold molding for it all around its frame.Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners at its four legs.The rings should be next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table can be carried by them.You are also to make its plates and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold.Put the bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.“ You are to make a lampstand out of pure, hammered gold. It is to be made of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its calyxes and petals.Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the next branch. It is to be this way for the six branches that extend from the lampstand.There are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its calyxes and petals.For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a calyx must be under the first pair of branches from it, a calyx under the second pair of branches from it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches from it.Their calyxes and branches are to be of one piece. All of it is to be a single hammered piece of pure gold.“ Make seven lamps on it. Its lamps are to be set up so they illuminate the area in front of it.Its snuffers and firepans must be of pure gold.The lampstand with all these utensils is to be made from 75 pounds of pure gold.Be careful to make them according to the pattern you have been shown on the mountain.

Exodus 31:1-11
The Lord also spoke to Moses:“ Look, I have appointed by name Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.I have filled him with God’s Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in every craftto design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,to cut gemstones for mounting, and to carve wood for work in every craft.I have also selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be with him. I have placed wisdom within every skilled craftsman in order to make all that I have commanded you:the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on top of it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, the basin with its stand—the specially woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense for the sanctuary. They must make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

Matthew 7:21-27
“ Not everyone who says to Me,‘ Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven.On that day many will say to Me,‘ Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?’Then I will announce to them,‘ I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!’“ Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock.The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock.But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse was great!”
