3καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἀπαρχή, ἣν λήψεσθε παρ᾿ αὐτῶν· χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ χαλκὸνThis is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;

9καὶ ποιήσεις μοι κατὰ πάντα ὅσα σοι δεικνύω ἐν τῷ ὄρει, τὸ παράδειγμα τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ τὸ παράδειγμα πάντων τῶν σκευῶν αὐτῆς· οὕτω ποιήσεις.You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.

10Καὶ ποιήσεις κιβωτὸν μαρτυρίου ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων, δύο πήχεων καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ μῆκος καὶ πήχεως καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ πλάτος καὶ πήχεως καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ ὕψος.And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
