«And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, / Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass, / And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, / And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, / And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, / And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.»

«And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, / And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, / And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, / Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, / Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.»

«There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I don't mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, that's the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.»
