Exodus 25:8

Exodus 25:8

6 ^aoil for the light, and ^bspices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense;

7 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ^aephod and in the breastplate.

8 And let them make Me a ^asanctuary, that ^bI may dwell among them.

9 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

The Ark of the Testimony

10 ^a“And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of ^agold all around.

a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them—In one sense the tabernacle was to be a palace, the royal residence of the King of Israel, in which He was to dwell among His people, receive their petitions, and issue His responses. But it was also to be a place of worship, in which God was to record His name and to enshrine the mystic symbols of His presence.
