< Exodus 35 >

1 Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD has commanded, that all of you should do them.
2 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever does work therein shall be put to death.
3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
All of you shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4 Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
And Moses spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
5 Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;
Take all of you 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,
6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10 Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD has commanded;
11 the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;
The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his clasps, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12 the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;
The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
13 the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;
The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the showbread,
14 the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;
The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
15 the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;
And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;
The altar of burnt offering, with his brazen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the vessel that holds water and his foot,
17 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard;
The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18 the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes;
The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”
The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
20 Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.
And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
22 So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
23 Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.
And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
24 And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.
Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
25 Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.
And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
26 And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.
And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,
And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
28 as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29 So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
And he has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
34 And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
And he has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
Them has he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
