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, These are the words which the Lord has spoken for [you] to 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 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 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings 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 also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has 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 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 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 yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

blue, purple, double scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats' hair,

7 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

and rams' skins dyed red, and skins [dyed] blue, and incorruptible wood,

8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

and sardine stones, and stones for engraving for the shoulder-piece and full-length robe.

9 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on 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 Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD 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 and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;

and the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and its propitiatory, and the veil,

12 the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;

and the curtains of the court, and its posts,

13 the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

and the emerald stones,

14 the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;

and the incense, and the anointing oil,

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 table and all its furniture,

16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;

and the candle-stick for the light and all its furniture,

17 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard;

and the altar and all its furniture;

18 the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes;

and the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments in which they shall do service;

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.”

and the garments of priesthood for the sons of Aaron and the anointing oil, and the compound incense.

20 Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.

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 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 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 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 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 yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, 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 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.

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 with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, 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 And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat 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 gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,

And the rulers brought the emerald stones, and the stones for setting in the ephod, and the oracle,

28 as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

and the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the 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.

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 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 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 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding, and knowledge of all things,

32 to design artistic works 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 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.

and to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of wisdom.

34 And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.

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 as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.

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.
