< 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:
And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.
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;
Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.
3 you do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses 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,
And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:
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; everyone who has the impulse in his heart, let him give his offering to the Lord; gold and silver and brass;
6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],
And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,
7 and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,
And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,
8 and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense,
And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.
9 and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.
10 And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all that YHWH has commanded:
And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;
11 the Dwelling Place, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;
12 the Ark and its poles, the propitiatory covering, and the veil of the covering,
The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;
13 the table and its poles, and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presentation,
The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;
14 and the lampstand for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,
And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the 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,
And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;
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 burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;
17 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court,
The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;
18 the pins of the Dwelling Place, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;
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.”
The robes of needlework for the work of the holy place, the holy robes for Aaron the priest, and the robes for his sons when acting as priests.
20 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel go out from the presence of Moses,
And all the children of Israel went away from 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 was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.
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.
They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold 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;
And everyone who had blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair and sheepskins coloured red and leather, gave 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.
Everyone who had silver and brass gave an offering of them to the Lord; and everyone who had hard wood, such as was needed for the work, gave 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;
And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.
26 and all the women whose heart has lifted them up in wisdom, have spun the goats’ [hair].
And those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.
27 And the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate,
And the rulers gave the beryls and the cut jewels for the ephod and the priest's bag;
28 and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense;
And the spice and the oil for the light, and the holy oil and the sweet perfumes.
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.
The children of Israel, every man and woman, from the impulse of their hearts, gave their offerings freely to the Lord for the work which the Lord had given Moses orders to have done.
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,
And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has made selection of Bezalel, the 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 made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;
32 even to devise inventions to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
As an expert designer of beautiful things, working in gold and silver and brass;
33 and in a carving of stones for settings, and in a carving of wood to work in any work of design.
Trained in the cutting of stones and the ornamenting of wood and in every sort of handwork.
34 And He has put [it] in his heart to direct, he and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;
And he has given to him, and to Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the power of training 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.”
To them he has given knowledge of all the arts of the handworker, of the designer, and the expert workman; of the maker of needlework in blue and purple and red and the best linen, and of the maker of cloth; in all the arts of the designer and the trained workman they are expert.
