< 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 called together all the assembly of the sons of Israel and said unto them, —These are the things which Yahweh hath commanded 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 work be done, but on the seventh day, shall there be to you a holy sabbath-keeping, unto Yahweh, whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
3 No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.
Ye shall not kindle a fire, in any of your dwellings, —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:
And Moses spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, This, is the thing which Yahweh hath 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 ye from among you, a heave-offering to Yahweh, every one whose heart is willing shall bring it in, even the heave-offering of Yahweh, gold and silver and bronze:
6 And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,
and blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and goat’s-hair;
7 And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,
and rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and acacia wood;
8 And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.
and oil for giving light, and aromatic spices for the anointing oil, and for fragrant incense;
9 And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.
and onyx stones and setting stones, for the ephod, and for the breastpiece.
10 And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;
And, all the wise-hearted among you, shall come in, that they may make, all that which Yahweh hath commanded: —
11 The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;
the habitation, its tent, and its covering, —its clasps its boards, and its bars its pillars, and its sockets:
12 The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;
the ark with its staves the propitiatory, and the screening veil;
13 The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;
the table with its staves and all its utensils, and the Presence-bread:
14 And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;
the lampstand for giving light, with its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for giving light;
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 incense altar, with its staves, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense, —and the entrance screen, for the entrance of the habitation;
16 The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;
the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and the bronze grating which pertaineth thereto, its staves and all its utensils, the laver and its stand;
17 The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;
the hangings for the court, its pillars and its sockets, —and the screen for the gate of the court:
18 The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;
the pins of the habitation, and the pins of the court, and their cords;
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.
the cloths of variegated stuff for ministering in the sanctuary, —the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for ministering as priests.
20 And all the children of Israel went away from Moses.
So all the assembly of the sons of Israel went forth 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.
and they brought in—every man whose heart lifted him up, —and, every one whose spirit made him willing, brought in the heave-offering of Yahweh, for the construction of the tent of meeting, and for all 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.
Yea they brought in—the men with the women, —all who were willing-hearted, brought in—bracelets and nose-ornaments and rings, and buckles, all manner of jewels of gold, even every man who waved a wave-offering of gold unto Yahweh.
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, every man with whom was found blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and goat’s-hair, —and rams’ skins dyed red and badgers’ skins brought them in.
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.
Every one who would heave a heave-offering of silver or bronze, brought in the heave-offering of Yahweh, —and, every one with whom was found acacia wood for any construction for the service, brought it in.
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, all the women who were wise-hearted, with their hands, did spin, —and brought in that which they had spun—the blue, and the purple, the crimson, and the fine linen.
26 And those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.
And, all the women whose hearts lifted them up with wisdom, span the goat’s-hair.
27 And the rulers gave the beryls and the cut jewels for the ephod and the priest's bag;
And the princes, brought in the onyx stones and the setting stones, —for the ephod and for the breastpiece;
28 And the spice and the oil for the light, and the holy oil and the sweet perfumes.
and the aromatic spices, and the oil, —for giving light, and for anointing oil, and for the fragrant 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.
[In the case of], every male and woman whose heart, made them willing, to bring in for any construction which, Yahweh had commanded them to make, by the hand of Moses, [in their case] did the sons of Israel bring in a free-will offering unto Yahweh.
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 unto the sons of Israel—See! Yahweh hath called by name, —Bezaleel son of Uri, 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;
and filled him with the spirit of God, —in, wisdom in understanding and in knowledge, and in all manner of execution;
32 As an expert designer of beautiful things, working in gold and silver and brass;
to devise skilful designs, —to work in gold and in silver and in bronze;
33 Trained in the cutting of stones and the ornamenting of wood and in every sort of handwork.
and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the cutting of wood, —to work in any manner of skilful 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.
To teach also, hath he put in his heart, [the heart of] him, and of Oholiab—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.
hath filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of workmanship of cutter, and deviser and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in crimson and in fine linen and of the weaver, —workers of any manner of workmanship, and devisers of skilful designs.
