Portion Summary
The nineteenth reading from the Torah is named Terumah. In Exodus 25:2, the LORD commanded Moses to "tell the sons of Israel to [take] a contribution for Me." Terumah is a word with no real English equivalent; some common translations are "contribution" or "heave offering". In the Torah, terumah refers to a certain type of offering dedicated to the Temple, like a tithe or firstfruits offering. In Exodus 25, the contribution is for the building of a holy place. This Torah reading is occupied with the instructions for the building of the Tabernacle and its furnishings.
