Exodus 25:8

God's presence

6 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.

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

9 You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.

10 And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
