Exodus 35
1 Moses assembled all the community of the Israelites and said to them, “These are the things that Yahweh has commanded you to do.
And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said, These are the words which the Lord has spoken for [you] to do them.
2 On six days work may be done, but for you, the seventh day must be a holy day, a Sabbath day of complete rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
Six days shalt thou perform works, but on the seventh day [shall be] rest—a holy sabbath—a rest for the Lord: every one that does work on it, let him die.
3 You must not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”
Ye shall not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day; I [am] the Lord.
4 Moses spoke to all the community of the Israelites, saying, “This is the thing that Yahweh commanded.
And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed you, saying,
5 Take an offering for Yahweh, all of you who have a willing heart. Bring an offering to Yahweh—gold, silver, bronze,
Take of yourselves an offering for the Lord: every one that engages in his heart shall bring the first-fruits to the Lord; gold, silver, brass,
6 blue, purple, and scarlet wool and fine linen; goats' hair;
blue, purple, double scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats' hair,
7 ram skins dyed red and sea cow hides; acacia wood;
and rams' skins dyed red, and skins [dyed] blue, and incorruptible wood,
8 oil for the sanctuary lamps, spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense,
and sardine stones, and stones for engraving for the shoulder-piece and full-length robe.
9 onyx stones and other precious stones to be set for the ephod and breastpiece.
And every man that is wise in heart among you, let him come and work all things whatsoever the Lord has commanded.
10 Every skilled man among you is to come and make everything that Yahweh has commanded—
The tabernacle, and the cords, and the coverings, and the rings, and the bars, and the posts,
11 the tabernacle with its tent, its covering, its clasps, frames, bars, posts, and bases;
and the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and its propitiatory, and the veil,
12 also the ark with its poles, the atonement lid, and the curtain to conceal it.
and the curtains of the court, and its posts,
13 They brought the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the bread of the presence;
and the emerald stones,
14 the lampstand for the lights, with its accessories, its lamps, and the oil for the lamps;
and the incense, and the anointing oil,
15 the incense altar with its poles, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the hanging for the tabernacle entrance;
and the table and all its furniture,
16 the altar for burnt offerings with its bronze grate and its poles and utensils; and the large basin with its base.
and the candle-stick for the light and all its furniture,
17 They brought the hangings for the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the courtyard entrance;
and the altar and all its furniture;
18 and the tent pegs for the tabernacle and courtyard, together with their ropes.
and the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments in which they shall do service;
19 They brought the finely-woven garments for serving in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons, for them to serve as priests.”
and the garments of priesthood for the sons of Aaron and the anointing oil, and the compound incense.
20 Then all the tribes of Israel left and went away from Moses's presence.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel went out from Moses. And they brought, they whose heart prompted them, and they to whomsoever it seemed good in their mind, each and offering:
21 Everyone whose heart stirred him up and whom his spirit made willing came and brought an offering to Yahweh for the construction of the tabernacle, for all the items of service in it, and for the holy garments.
and they brought an offering to the Lord for all the works of the tabernacle of witness, and all its services, and for all the robes of the sanctuary.
22 They came, both men and women, all who had a willing heart. They brought brooches, earrings, rings, and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry. They all presented offerings of gold as a wave offering to Yahweh.
And the men, even every one to whom it seemed good in his heart, brought from the women, [even] brought seals and ear-rings, and finger-rings, and necklaces, and bracelets, every article of gold.
23 Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet wool, fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or sea cow skins brought them.
And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with whomsoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins [dyed] blue, and rams' skins dyed red.
24 Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as an offering to Yahweh, and everyone who had acacia wood for any use in the work brought it.
And every one that offered an offering brought silver and brass, the offerings to the Lord; and [they] with whom was found incorruptible wood; and they brought [offerings] for all the works of the preparation.
25 Every skilled woman spun wool with her hands and brought what she had spun—blue, purple, or scarlet wool, or fine linen.
And every woman skilled in her heart to spin with her hands, brought spun [articles], the blue, and purple, and scarlet and fine linen.
26 All the women whose hearts stirred them up and who had skill spun goats' hair.
And all the women to whom it seemed good in their heart in their wisdom, spun the goats' hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be set into the ephod and the breastpiece;
And the rulers brought the emerald stones, and the stones for setting in the ephod, and the oracle,
28 they brought spices and oil for the lamps, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
and the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the incense.
29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to Yahweh; every man and woman whose heart was willing brought materials for all the work that Yahweh had commanded through Moses to be made.
And every man and woman whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the works as many as the Lord appointed them to do by Moses—[they] the children of Israel brought an offering to the Lord.
30 Moses said to the Israelites, “See, Yahweh has called by name on Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
And Moses said to the children of Israel, Behold, God has called by name Beseleel the [son] of Urias the [son of] Or, of the tribe of Juda,
31 He has filled Bezalel with his Spirit, to give him wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, for all kinds of craftsmanship,
and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding, and knowledge of all things,
32 to make artistic designs and to work in gold, silver, and bronze;
to labour skillfully in all works of cunning workmanship, to form the gold and the silver and the brass,
33 also to cut and set stones and to carve wood—to do all kinds of design and craftsmanship.
and to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of wisdom.
34 He has put it in his heart to teach, both he and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, from the tribe of Dan.
And [God] gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan.
35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work, to work as craftsmen, as engravers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet wool and fine linen, and as weavers. They are craftsmen in all sorts of work, and they are artistic designers.
And [God] filled them with wisdom, understanding [and] perception, to understand to work all the works of the sanctuary, and to weave the woven and embroidered work with scarlet and fine linen, to do all work of curious workmanship [and] embroidery.
