Exodus 35

1 Moses summoned all the Israelites and told them, “This is what the Lord has ordered you to do:

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.

2 Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a holy Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed.

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.

3 Don't even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”

Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings upon the sabbath day.

4 Moses also told all the Israelites, “This is what the Lord has commanded:

And Moses spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, This is the word which Jehovah has commanded, saying,

5 Collect an offering to the Lord from what you have. Everyone who wants to should bring an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze;

Take from among you a heave-offering to Jehovah: every one whose heart [is] willing, let him bring it, Jehovah's heave-offering — gold, and silver, and copper,

10 All your skilled craftsmen are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded:

And all who are wise-hearted among you shall come and make all that Jehovah has commanded:

19 and the woven clothes for serving in the holy place: the sacred clothing for Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests.”

the garments of service, to do service in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests.

20 The Israelites left Moses,

And all the assembly of the children of Israel departed from before Moses.

21 and all those who felt moved to do so and who had a willing spirit came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work making the Tent of Meeting, for everything required for its services, and for the sacred clothing.

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.

22 So everyone who was willing, both men and women, came and presented their gold as a thanks offering to the Lord, including brooches, earrings, rings, and necklaces—all kinds of gold jewelry.

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.

23 Everyone who had blue, purple, and crimson thread, finely-woven linen, goat hair, tanned ram skins, and fine leather, contributed them.

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].

24 Those who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a gift to the Lord. Everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work donated it.

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].

25 Every woman skilled in spinning with her hands brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or crimson thread, or finely-woven linen.

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.

26 All the women who were willing to use their skills spun the goat hair.

And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun goats' [hair].

27 The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to make the ephod and breastpiece,

And the principal men brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

28 as well as spices and olive oil for lighting, for the anointing oil, and for the aromatic incense.

and the spice, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs.

29 All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought a freewill offering to the Lord for all the work in making what the Lord through Moses had ordered them to do.

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.

30 Then Moses told the Israelites, “The Lord chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.

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,

31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.

and he has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

32 He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,

and to devise artistic things: to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

33 he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.

and in cutting of stones, for setting, and in carving of wood, to execute all artistic work;

34 The Lord has also given him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.

and he has put in his heart to teach, he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan:

35 He has equipped them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-woven linen, and as weavers—in fact as skilled designers in all kinds of different crafts.

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.
