Moshe meets with Adonai and receives the instructions for making the Tabernacle. In order to make the Tabernacle and the holy objects, Adonai tells Moshe to take up a free-will offering from those who ‘wholeheartedly’ desire to give. The people contribute gold, silver and bronze; blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen, goat’s hair, tanned ram skins and fine leather; acacia wood; oil for the lamp, spices for the incense; onyx stones and other precious stones to be used for the ritual vest and breastplate.
"Your eyes will see Jerusalem: A tent which will not be folded; its stakes will never be pulled up" (Isaiah 33:20).
