< Exodus 35 >
1 And Moses collected all the assembly of the children of Israel, and said to them, These are the things which Jehovah has commanded, to do them.
Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to Jehovah: whoever does work on it shall be put to death.
For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings upon the sabbath day.
Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
4 And Moses spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, This is the word which Jehovah has commanded, saying,
Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

12 the ark, and its staves; the mercy-seat, and the veil of separation;

and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”
20 And all the assembly of the children of Israel departed from before Moses.
Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came, every one whose heart moved him, and every one whose spirit prompted him; they brought Jehovah's heave-offering for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.
22 And they came, both men and women; every one who was of willing heart brought nose-rings, and earrings, and rings, and bracelets, all kinds of utensils of gold: every man that waved a wave-offering of gold to Jehovah.
So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
23 And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and byssus, and goats' [hair], and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, brought [them].
Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.
24 All they that offered a heave-offering of silver and copper brought Jehovah's heave-offering. And every one with whom was found acacia-wood for all manner of work of the service, brought [it].
And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.
25 And every woman that was wise-hearted spun with her hands, and brought what she had spun: the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the byssus.
Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun goats' [hair].
And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.
27 And the principal men brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,
28 and the spice, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs.
as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a voluntary offering to Jehovah, every man and woman whose heart prompted them to bring for all manner of work, which Jehovah, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.
So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
30 And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, Jehovah has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31 and he has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
32 and to devise artistic things: to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 and in cutting of stones, for setting, and in carving of wood, to execute all artistic work;
to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
34 and he has put in his heart to teach, he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan:
And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35 he has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work of the engraver, and of the artificer, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in byssus, and of the weaver, [even] of them that do every kind of work, and of those that devise artistic work.
He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
