Exodus 35

1 AND Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them.

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

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

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.

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

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

4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying,

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

5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord; gold, and silver, and brass,

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;

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

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

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

tanned ram skins and fine leather; acacia wood;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

15 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,

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

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

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

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

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

19 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.

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.”

20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

The Israelites left Moses,

21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.

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.

22 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 the Lord.

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.

23 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.

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

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

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.

25 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.

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

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

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

27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

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

28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

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

29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

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.

30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

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

31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

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

32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

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

33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

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

34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

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

35 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.

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.
