And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.

Speak to the children of Israel, and take first fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and you shall take my first fruits.

3 And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,

And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold and silver and brass,

4 Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

and blue, and purple, and double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats' hair,

5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:
