Exodus 35
1 Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, “These are the words which the LORD has commanded, that you should do them.
And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.
2 ‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death.
Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.
3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.’”
No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.
4 Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:
5 ‘Take from amongst you an offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as the LORD’s offering: gold, silver, bronze,
Take from among you an offering to the Lord; everyone who has the impulse in his heart, let him give his offering to the Lord; gold and silver and brass;
6 blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair,
And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,
7 rams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,
And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,
8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.
9 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.
10 “‘Let every wise-hearted man amongst you come, and make all that the LORD has commanded:
And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;
11 the tabernacle, its outer covering, its roof, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;
12 the ark, and its poles, the mercy seat, the veil of the screen;
The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;
13 the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the show bread;
The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;
14 the lamp stand also for the light, with its vessels, its lamps, and the oil for the light;
And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;
15 and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;
16 the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its vessels, the basin and its base;
The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;
17 the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;
The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;
18 the pins of the tabernacle, the pins of the court, and their cords;
The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;
19 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons—to minister in the priest’s office.’”
The robes of needlework for the work of the holy place, the holy robes for Aaron the priest, and the robes for his sons when acting as priests.
20 All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
And all the children of Israel went away from Moses.
21 They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought the LORD’s offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all of its service, and for the holy garments.
And everyone whose heart was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.
22 They came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, earrings, signet rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man who offered an offering of gold to the LORD.
They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.
23 Everyone with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them.
And everyone who had blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair and sheepskins coloured red and leather, gave them.
24 Everyone who offered an offering of silver and bronze brought the LORD’s offering; and everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Everyone who had silver and brass gave an offering of them to the Lord; and everyone who had hard wood, such as was needed for the work, gave it.
25 All the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun: the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.
26 All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.
And those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.
27 The rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate;
And the rulers gave the beryls and the cut jewels for the ephod and the priest's bag;
28 with the spice and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
And the spice and the oil for the light, and the holy oil and the sweet perfumes.
29 The children of Israel brought a free will offering to the LORD; every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by Moses.
The children of Israel, every man and woman, from the impulse of their hearts, gave their offerings freely to the Lord for the work which the Lord had given Moses orders to have done.
30 Moses said to the children of Israel, “Behold, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship;
And he has made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;
32 and to make skilful works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,
As an expert designer of beautiful things, working in gold and silver and brass;
33 in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skilful workmanship.
Trained in the cutting of stones and the ornamenting of wood and in every sort of handwork.
34 He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
And he has given to him, and to Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the power of training others.
35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all kinds of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skilful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skilful works.
To them he has given knowledge of all the arts of the handworker, of the designer, and the expert workman; of the maker of needlework in blue and purple and red and the best linen, and of the maker of cloth; in all the arts of the designer and the trained workman they are expert.
