Exodus 35
1 Moses summoned all the Israelites and told them, “This is what the Lord has ordered you to do:
And Moses called together all the assembly of the sons of Israel and said unto them, —These are the things which Yahweh hath 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, shall there be to you a holy sabbath-keeping, unto Yahweh, 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 not kindle a fire, in any of your dwellings, —on the sabbath day.
4 Moses also told all the Israelites, “This is what the Lord has commanded:

[In the case of], every male and woman whose heart, made them willing, to bring in for any construction which, Yahweh had commanded them to make, by the hand of Moses, [in their case] did the sons of Israel bring in a free-will offering unto Yahweh.
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 sons of Israel—See! Yahweh hath called by name, —Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

to devise skilful designs, —to work in gold and in silver and in bronze;
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 for setting, and in the cutting of wood, —to work in any manner of skilful workmanship,
34 The Lord has also given him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
To teach also, hath he put in his heart, [the heart of] him, and of Oholiab—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.
