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.

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.

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 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.

3 No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.

You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.'"

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

Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which the LORD commanded, 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 from among you an offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, the LORD's offering: gold, silver, bronze,

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

"'Let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that the LORD has commanded:

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

20 And all the children of Israel went away from Moses.

All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone, with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them.

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.

Everyone who did offer 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.

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.

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.

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

All the women whose heart stirred them up in 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 leaders brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastplate;

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

and the spice, and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet 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.

The children of Israel brought a freewill 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.

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;

Moses said to the children of Israel, "Look, God has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

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

He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

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

and to make skillful works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,

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

in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship.

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

He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, 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.

He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful 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 skillful works.
