Exodus 25:3
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him.
This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
4 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
5 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
