2 “Tell the Israelites to take an offering for me from every person who is motivated by a willing heart. You must receive these offerings for me.
Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they take for me a heave-offering, —of every man whose heart urgeth him, shall ye take my heave-offering.
3 These are the offerings that you must receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
