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 assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should 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.

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death.

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

Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon 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 spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD 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,

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

And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed 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 came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] brought the LORD’S offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service thereof, 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 came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, [and] brought brooches, and earrings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man that offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.

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 was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ [hair], and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them.

Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD’S offering: and every man, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.

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

And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.

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

And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ [hair].

27 Yet truly, the leaders offered onyx stones and gems, for the ephod and 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 spice, and the oil; for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet 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.

The children of Israel brought a freewill offering unto 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 the hand of Moses.

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 said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

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

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 and to fashion, with gold and silver and brass,

and to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

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

and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of cunning workmanship.

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

And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the 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.”

Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise cunning works.
