The Lord wanted an offering from the Israelites and gives Moses a laundry list of what they can give. Then he wanted a tabernacle built, which is portable dwelling place/sanctuary for God. There is a lot of debate about the tabernacle, but mainly the tabernacle is a symbolic one. God didn't actually live there.
God gives very elaborate plans on how to build this tabernacle, how long everything should be and what materials to use. Then he says to place the ark the Testimoney inside the tabernacle.
They are also instructed to build a table for offerings and to have bread of the Presence there at all times. They also are to make a lampstand, curtains, and a tent.
