Exodus 25:6

4 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

5 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

7 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

8 And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

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.
