Exodus 35

1 And Moses assembles all the congregation of the sons of Israel and says to them, “These [are] the things which YHWH 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 [For] six days work is done, and on the seventh day there is a holy [day] for you, a Sabbath of rest to YHWH; any who does work in it is 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 you do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

4 And Moses speaks to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded, saying,

Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

5 Take a raised-offering for YHWH from among you; everyone whose heart [is] willing brings it [as] the raised-offering of YHWH: gold, and silver, and bronze,

Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;

6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],

blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

7 and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,

ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

8 and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense,

olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

9 and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

10 And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all that YHWH has commanded:

Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:

11 the Dwelling Place, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,

the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;

12 the Ark and its poles, the propitiatory covering, and the veil of the covering,

the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;

13 the table and its poles, and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presentation,

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

14 and the lampstand for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,

the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;

15 and the altar of incense, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the spice-incense, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the Dwelling Place,

the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;

16 the altar of burnt-offering and the bronze grate which it has, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,

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

17 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court,

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

18 the pins of the Dwelling Place, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes;

19 the colored garments, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to act as priest in.”

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 congregation of the sons of Israel go out from the presence of Moses,

Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.

21 and they come in—every man whom his heart has lifted up, and everyone whom his spirit has made willing—they have brought in the raised-offering of YHWH 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 come in—the men with the women—every willing-hearted one—they have brought in nose-ring, and earring, and seal-ring, and necklace, all golden goods, even everyone who has waved a wave-offering of gold to YHWH.

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 has been found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair], and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, have brought [them] in;

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 everyone lifting up a raised-offering of silver and bronze has brought in the raised-offering of YHWH; and everyone with whom has been found shittim wood for any work of the service brought [it] in.

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 wise-hearted woman has spun with her hands, and they bring in yarn—of the blue, and the purple, [and] the scarlet—and the linen;

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 has lifted them up in wisdom, have spun the goats’ [hair].

And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.

27 And the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate,

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

28 and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense;

as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

29 every man and woman of the sons of Israel (whom their heart has made willing to bring in for all the work which YHWH commanded to be done by the hand of Moses) brought in a willing-offering to YHWH.

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 says to the sons of Israel, “See, YHWH has called Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, by name,

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 fills him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,

And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

32 even to devise inventions to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,

33 and in a carving of stones for settings, and in a carving of wood to work in any work of design.

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 [it] in his heart to direct, he and Aholiab, 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 do every work, of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer (in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in linen), and weaver, who does any work, and of designers of designs.”

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.
