< 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 together all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the things which the Lord hath commanded, that ye 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 a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doth work thereon shall be put to death.
3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
Ye shall not kindle any 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 said unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, as followeth, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,

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 man whose heart stirred him up; and every one whom his spirit made willing, brought the Lord's offering for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all its 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, the men with the women; whoever was willing-hearted, brought bracelets, and earrings, and finger-rings, and tablets, all kinds of ornaments of gold, and every man that 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 yarn, and linen thread, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, brought them.

Every one that did offer an offering of silver and copper brought it as the Lord's offering; and every one 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 spun with their hands, and they brought that which they had spun, of the blue, and of the purple, and of the scarlet yarn, and of the linen thread.
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 the goats' hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,

28 as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
And the spice and the oil, for lighting, and for the anointing oil, and for the incense of spices.
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.
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, even that brought the children of Israel as a free-will offering unto 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 unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, 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 hath 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 works of art, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
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 the carving of wood, to make any manner of work of art.
34 And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
And to teach hath he put in his heart, both to him, and to Aholiab, the son of Achissamach, 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.
He hath filled them with wisdom of heart, to execute all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the designing weaver, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet yarn, and in linen thread, and of the weaver, of those that do every species of work, and of those that devise works of art.
