Exodus 25:4
2 “Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him.
3 This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
5 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
6 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
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.
