Exodus 35

1 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.

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 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.

Six days shall you 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 No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.

You shall not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day; I [am] the Lord.

4 And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:

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; everyone who has the impulse in his heart, let him give his offering to the Lord; gold and silver and brass;

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 And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,

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

7 And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,

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

8 And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.

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

9 And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.

And every man that is wise in heart among you, let him come and work all things whatever the Lord has commanded.

10 And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;

The tabernacle, and the cords, and the coverings, and the rings, and the bars, and the posts,

11 The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;

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

12 The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;

and the curtains of the court, and its posts,

13 The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;

and the emerald stones,

14 And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;

and the incense, and the anointing oil,

15 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;

and the table and all its furniture,

16 The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;

and the candlestick for the light and all its furniture,

17 The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;

and the altar and all its furniture;

18 The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;

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

19 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.

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

20 And all the children of Israel went away from 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 whoever it seemed good in their mind, each and offering:

21 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.

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, 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.

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 And everyone who had blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair and sheepskins coloured red and leather, gave them.

And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with whoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins [dyed] blue, and rams' skins dyed red.

24 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.

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 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.

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 those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.

And all the women to whom it seemed good in their heart in their wisdom, spun the goats' hair.

27 And the rulers gave the beryls and the cut jewels for the ephod and the priest's bag;

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

28 And the spice and the oil for the light, and the holy oil and the sweet perfumes.

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

29 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.

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 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;

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 made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;

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

32 As an expert designer of beautiful things, working in gold and silver and brass;

to labor skillfully in all works of cunning workmanship, to form the gold and the silver and the brass,

33 Trained in the cutting of stones and the ornamenting of wood and in every sort of handwork.

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

34 And he has given to him, and to Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the power of training others.

And [God] gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan.

35 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.

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.
