Exodus 35

1 Therefore, when all the multitude of the sons of Israel had gathered together, he said to them: “These are the things that the Lord has ordered to be done:

And Moses assembles all the congregation of the sons of Israel and says to them, “These [are] the things which YHWH has commanded—to do them:

2 For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, the Sabbath and the rest of the Lord, will be holy to you; whoever will have done any work in it shall be killed.

[For] six days work is done, and on the seventh day there is a holy [day] for you, a Sabbath of rest to YHWH; any who does work in it is put to death;

3 You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling places throughout the day of the Sabbath.”

you do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

4 And Moses said to the entire crowd of the sons of Israel: “This is the word which the Lord has instructed, saying:

And Moses speaks to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded, saying,

5 Separate from among you the first-fruits to the Lord. Let all who are willing and have a ready soul offer these to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,

Take a raised-offering for YHWH from among you; everyone whose heart [is] willing brings it [as] the raised-offering of YHWH: gold, and silver, and bronze,

6 hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,

and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],

7 and the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins, setim wood,

and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,

8 and oil to prepare lights and to produce ointment, and most sweet incense,

and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense,

9 onyx stones and gems, to adorn the ephod and the breastplate.

and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

10 And whoever among you is wise, let him come and make what the Lord has commanded:

And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all that YHWH has commanded:

11 the tabernacle, certainly, and its roof, and also the covering, the rings, and the panels with the bars, the tent pegs and the bases,

the Dwelling Place, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,

12 the ark and its bars, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it,

the Ark and its poles, the propitiatory covering, and the veil of the covering,

13 the table with its bars and vessels, and the bread of the presence,

the table and its poles, and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presentation,

14 the lampstand to hold up the lights, its vessels and lamps, and the oil to the nourish the fire,

and the lampstand for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,

15 the altar of incense and its bars, and the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics, the tent at the door of the tabernacle,

and the altar of incense, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the spice-incense, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the Dwelling Place,

16 the altar of holocaust and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels, the washtub and its base,

the altar of burnt-offering and the bronze grate which it has, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,

17 the curtains of the atrium, with the columns and the bases, the hanging at the doors of the vestibule,

the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court,

18 the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium, with their little cords,

the pins of the Dwelling Place, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

19 the vestments, which are to be used in the ministry of the Sanctuary, the vestments of Aaron, the high priest, as well as those of his sons, in order to exercise the priesthood to me.”

the colored garments, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to act as priest in.”

20 And all the multitude of the sons of Israel, departing from the sight of Moses,

And all the congregation of the sons of Israel go out from the presence of Moses,

21 offered the first-fruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was needed for worship and for the holy vestments,

and they come in—every man whom his heart has lifted up, and everyone whom his spirit has made willing—they have brought in the raised-offering of YHWH for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.

22 men along with women provided: arm bands and earrings, rings and bracelets. And every vessel of gold was separated, to be donated to the Lord.

And they come in—the men with the women—every willing-hearted one—they have brought in nose-ring, and earring, and seal-ring, and necklace, all golden goods, even everyone who has waved a wave-offering of gold to YHWH.

23 If anyone had hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, fine linen and the hair of goats, the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins,

And every man with whom has been found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair], and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, have brought [them] in;

24 metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, along with setim wood for various uses.

everyone lifting up a raised-offering of silver and bronze has brought in the raised-offering of YHWH; and everyone with whom has been found shittim wood for any work of the service brought [it] in.

25 But the skillful women also gave whatever they had spun: hyacinth, purple, and vermillion, as well as fine linen,

And every wise-hearted woman has spun with her hands, and they bring in yarn—of the blue, and the purple, [and] the scarlet—and the linen;

26 and the hair of goats, donating everything of their own accord.

and all the women whose heart has lifted them up in wisdom, have spun the goats’ [hair].

27 Yet truly, the leaders offered onyx stones and gems, for the ephod and the breastplate,

And the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate,

28 and aromatics and oil, to maintain the lights, and to prepare ointment, and also to produce incense with a most sweet odor.

and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense;

29 All the men and women offered donations with a devout mind, so that the works might be done which the Lord had ordered by the hand of Moses. All the sons of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.

every man and woman of the sons of Israel (whom their heart has made willing to bring in for all the work which YHWH commanded to be done by the hand of Moses) brought in a willing-offering to YHWH.

30 And Moses said to the sons of Israel: “Behold, the Lord has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah,

And Moses says to the sons of Israel, “See, YHWH has called Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, by name,

31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, and all teaching,

and He fills him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,

32 to design and to fashion, with gold and silver and brass,

even to devise inventions to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

33 and with engraving stones, and with the skill of a carpenter. Whatever can be skillfully invented,

and in a carving of stones for settings, and in a carving of wood to work in any work of design.

34 he has given to his heart. It is likewise with Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan.

And He has put [it] in his heart to direct, he and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;

35 He has taught both of them wisdom, in order to do the work of carpentry, tapestry, and embroidery, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, and every textile, and to discover whatever may be new.”

He has filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work, of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer (in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in linen), and weaver, who does any work, and of designers of designs.”
