Exodus 35

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

And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which Yhwh hath commanded, that ye should 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 an holy day, a sabbath of rest to Yhwh: whosoever doeth work therein 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 habitations upon the sabbath day.

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

And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Yhwh 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 ye from among you an offering unto Yhwh: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of Yhwh; gold, and silver, and brass,

6 blue, purple, and crimson thread; finely-woven linen and goat hair;

And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

7 tanned ram skins and fine leather; acacia wood;

And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,

8 olive oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense;

And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

9 and onyx stones and gemstones for making the ephod and breastpiece.

And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

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

And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that Yhwh hath commanded;

11 the Tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clips and frames, its crossbars, posts, and stands;

The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

12 the Ark with its poles and atonement cover, and the veil to hang over it;

The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,

13 the table with its poles, all its equipment, and the Bread of the Presence;

The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,

14 the lampstand of light with its equipment and lamps and olive oil to provide lighting;

The lampstand also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,

15 the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and aromatic incense; the screen for the Tabernacle entrance and all its accessories;

And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles and all its utensils; the basin plus its stand;

The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

17 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the courtyard entrance;

The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,

18 the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and for the courtyard, as well as their ropes;

The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

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 cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.

20 The Israelites left Moses,

And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of 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 stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought Yhwh's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his 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, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto Yhwh.

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 fine linen, and goats’ hair, and red skins of rams, 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.

Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought Yhwh's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any 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 all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.

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

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

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

And the rulers brought onyx stones, and 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 spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

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 willing offering unto Yhwh, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which Yhwh had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

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 unto the children of Israel, See, Yhwh hath 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 hath 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 curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

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

And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning 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 hath put in his heart that he may teach, both 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.

Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, 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 work, and of those that devise cunning work.
