35 Moses brought all the Israelites together. Then he said to them, ‘These are the Lord 's commands to you. 2 You may work for six days each week, but the seventh day will be a holy day for you. It will be a day of complete rest to give honour to the Lord . If anyone works on that day, you must punish him with death. 3 Do not light a fire in any of your homes on a Sabbath day.’
4 Moses said to all the Israelites, ‘This is what the Lord has commanded: 5 Take an offering to give to the Lord from the things that you have. Everyone who wants to give something may choose to give these things:
gold, silver, bronze;
6 blue, purple and red material;
good linen, goats' hair;
7 red leather from sheep's skins and other kinds of good leather;
acacia wood;
8 olive oil for the lamps;
spices to make the special oil and the sweet incense;
9 onyx stones and other jewels to fix on the ephod and on the breastpiece.
10 Every clever person who has special skills must come to help. They must make all these things that the Lord has commanded:
11 the tabernacle, with the tent and the other material that covers it;
the rings, boards, sticks, poles and bases that are part of the tabernacle;
12 the Covenant Box, with its poles, its special lid and the curtain that hides it;
13 the special table with its poles and all its dishes;
the special bread that you will put on the table for the Lord ;
14 the lampstand that will give light and its tools;
the lamps and the oil for the lamps;
15 the altar for incense and its poles;
the special oil and the sweet incense;
the curtain for the entrance of the tabernacle;
16 the altar for burnt offerings and its bronze net;
the poles for this altar and all its tools;
the large bowl for water and its base;
17 the curtains for the yard, its poles and their bases;
the curtain for the entrance of the yard;
18 pegs to fix the tent to the ground;
pegs and ropes to hold the curtain around the yard;
19 the special clothes for Aaron and his sons to wear when they serve the Lord as priests in the Holy Place.’
20 After Moses had said this, all the Israelites went away. 21 Everyone who decided to offer a gift to the Lord brought the things that they wanted to give. They brought the things to make the Tent of Meeting and the things to use in it. They also brought materials to make the priests' special clothes. 22 Both men and women brought beautiful things because they wanted to do that. They brought gold things and jewels that they had worn. They included rings, necklaces and other beautiful things. When they brought their gifts, they lifted them up as an offering of gold to the Lord .
23 Everyone who had blue, purple or red material, or good linen, brought it. They also brought goats' hair, red leather from sheep's skins and other kinds of good leather. 24 Those who brought gifts of silver or bronze offered them to the Lord . Everyone who had acacia wood brought it to help with the Lord 's work.
25 All the women who knew how to make things used their hands to make material. They brought what they had made: blue, purple and red material and good linen. 26 Other clever women used goats' hair to make cloth. They did that because they wanted to help.
27 The leaders of the Israelites brought onyx stones and other jewels to fix on the ephod and on the breastpiece. 28 They also brought spices and olive oil. These things were to burn in the lamps, and to make the special oil and the sweet incense.
29 Many Israelites chose to offer gifts to the Lord . Men and women all brought the gifts that they had decided to bring. Moses had told them about the work that the Lord had commanded them to do. So they brought these things to help with the work.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, ‘Listen! The Lord has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and the grandson of Hur. He belongs to the tribe of Judah. 31 The Lord has filled him with his Spirit so that he has special skills. He knows how to make many kinds of things. 32 He can draw pictures of beautiful things that he wants to make. He can use gold, silver and bronze to make them. 33 He knows how to cut valuable stones and make them look beautiful. He knows how to cut wood into different shapes. He is very clever at all kinds of beautiful work.
34 The Lord has chosen Oholiab to help Bezalel. Oholiab is the son of Ahisamach. He belongs to the tribe of Dan. Bezalel and Oholiab can teach other people how to make things. 35 They have special skills to make all kinds of things. They can draw pictures of the things that they want to make. They can cut pictures in metal. They can use blue, purple and red material and good linen to make beautiful things with pictures on them. They are very clever at their work, so that the things that they make look beautiful.’
35 Moses gathered all the Israelites together and said to them, “I will tell you what the Lord has commanded you to do:
2 “There are six days for working, but the seventh day will be a very special day of rest for you. You will honor the Lord by resting on that special day. Anyone who works on the seventh day must be killed. 3 On the Sabbath you should not even light a fire in any of the places where you live.”
4 Moses said to all the Israelites, “This is what the Lord commanded: 5 Gather special gifts for the Lord . Each of you should decide in your heart what you will give. And then you should bring that gift to the Lord . Bring gold, silver, and bronze; 6 blue, purple, and red yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 7 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood; 8 oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and spices for the sweet-smelling incense. 9 Also, bring onyx stones and other jewels to be put on the ephod and the judgment pouch.
10 “All of you who are skilled workers should make all the things the Lord commanded: 11 the Holy Tent, its outer tent, and its covering; the hooks, boards, braces, posts, and bases; 12 the Holy Box, its poles, the mercy-cover, and the curtain that covers the area where the Box stays; 13 the table and its poles, all the things on the table, and the special bread on the table; 14 the lampstand that is used for light and the things used with the lampstand, the lamps, and oil for the light; 15 the altar for burning incense and its poles; the anointing oil and the sweet-smelling incense; the curtain that covers the door at the entrance to the Holy Tent; 16 the altar for burning offerings and its bronze grating, the poles, and all the things used at the altar; the bronze bowl and its base; 17 the curtains around the yard, their posts and bases, and the curtain that covers the entrance to the yard; 18 the pegs used to support the Tent and the wall of curtains around the courtyard, and the ropes that tie to the pegs; 19 and the special woven clothes for the priest to wear in the Holy Place. These are the special clothes for Aaron the priest and his sons to wear when they serve as priests.”
20 Then all the Israelites went away from Moses. 21 All the people who wanted to give came and brought a gift to the Lord . These gifts were used for making the Meeting Tent, everything in the Tent, and the special clothes. 22 All the men and women who wanted to give brought gold jewelry of all kinds. They brought pins, [ a ] earrings, rings, and other jewelry. They all gave their jewelry as a special offering to the Lord .
23 Everyone who had fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn brought it to the Lord. Anyone who had goat hair or ram skins dyed red or fine leather brought it to the Lord. 24 Everyone who wanted to give silver or bronze brought that as a gift to the Lord . Everyone who had acacia wood came and gave it to the Lord. 25 Every skilled woman made fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn. 26 And all the women who were skilled and wanted to help made cloth from the goat hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other jewels. These stones and jewels were put on the ephod and judgment pouch of the priest. 28 The people also brought spices and olive oil. These things were used for the sweet-smelling incense, the anointing oil, and the oil for the lamps.
29 All the Israelites who wanted to help brought gifts to the Lord . They gave these gifts freely, because they wanted to. These gifts were used to make everything the Lord had commanded Moses and the people to make.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “Look, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, from the tribe of Judah. (Uri was the son of Hur.) 31 And he has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God—he gave Bezalel special skill and knowledge to do all kinds of things. 32 He can design and make things with gold, silver, and bronze. 33 He can cut and set stones and jewels. He can work with wood and make all kinds of things. 34 The Lord has given Bezalel and Oholiab special skills to teach other people. (Oholiab was the son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan.) 35 He has given both of these men special skills to do all kinds of work. They are able to do the work of carpenters and metalworkers. They can weave cloth with designs in it from blue, purple, and red yarn and fine linen. And they are able to weave things with wool.
35 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.
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.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon 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,
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,
6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the Lord hath commanded;
11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
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,
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,
16 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
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.
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of 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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet 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.
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;
31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
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.
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.
35 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “ ( A ) These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to [ a ] do:
2 “ ( B ) For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day , ( C ) a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord ; ( D ) whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. 3 ( E ) You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
4 Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded, saying, 5 ‘ ( F ) Take from among you a [ b ] contribution to the Lord ; whoever is of a willing heart is to bring it as the Lord ’ s [ c ] contribution: gold, silver, and [ d ] bronze, 6 and [ e ] violet, purple, and scarlet material , fine linen, goats’ hair , 7 and rams’ skins [ f ] dyed red, and [ g ] fine leather, and acacia wood, 8 and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, 9 and onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the [ h ] breastpiece.
10 ‘ ( G ) Have every skillful person among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 the [ i ] ( H ) tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12 the ( I ) ark and its poles, the [ j ] atoning cover, and the covering curtain; 13 the ( J ) table and its poles, and all its [ k ] utensils, and the bread of the [ l ] Presence; 14 the ( K ) lampstand also for the light and its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light; 15 and the ( L ) altar of incense and its poles, and the ( M ) anointing oil and the ( N ) fragrant incense, and the curtain for the doorway at the [ m ] entrance of the tabernacle; 16 ( O ) the altar of burnt offering with its [ n ] bronze grating, its poles, and all its [ o ] utensils, the basin and its stand; 17 ( P ) the hangings of the courtyard, its pillars and its bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard; 18 the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the courtyard and their ropes; 19 the [ p ] ( Q ) woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests.’”
20 Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from Moses’ presence. 21 And ( R ) everyone whose heart [ q ] stirred him and everyone whose spirit [ r ] moved him came and brought the Lord ’ s [ s ] contribution for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22 Then all [ t ] whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came and brought brooches and [ u ] earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did everyone who [ v ] presented an offering of gold to the Lord . 23 Everyone [ w ] who was in possession of violet, purple, or scarlet material or fine linen or goats’ hair , or rams’ skins [ x ] dyed red or fine leather, brought them. 24 Everyone who could make a [ y ] contribution of silver and [ z ] bronze brought the Lord ’ s [ aa ] contribution; and everyone [ ab ] who was in possession of acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. 25 And all the [ ac ] skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in violet, purple, and scarlet material , and in fine linen. 26 And all the women whose heart [ ad ] stirred with a skill spun the goats’ hair . 27 The rulers, moreover, brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the [ ae ] breastpiece; 28 and ( S ) the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29 The [ af ] Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart [ ag ] moved them to bring material for all the work, which the Lord had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a ( T ) [ ah ] voluntary offering to the Lord .
30 ( U ) Then Moses said to the sons of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all [ ai ] craftsmanship; 32 to create [ aj ] designs for working in gold, in silver, and in [ ak ] bronze, 33 and in the cutting of stones for settings and in the carving of wood, so as to perform in every inventive work. 34 He also has put in his heart to teach, both he and ( V ) Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 ( W ) He has filled them with [ al ] skill to perform every work of an engraver, of a designer, and of an embroiderer, in violet, purple, and in scarlet material , and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs.
35 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded ( A ) you to do: 2 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath ( B ) rest to the Lord . Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. ( C ) 3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day. ( D ) ”
4 Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: 5 From what you have, take an offering for the Lord . Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver and bronze; 6 blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 7 ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather [ a ] ; acacia wood; 8 olive oil ( G ) for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9 and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
10 “All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded: ( H ) 11 the tabernacle ( I ) with its tent and its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 12 the ark ( J ) with its poles and the atonement cover and the curtain ( K ) that shields it; 13 the table ( L ) with its poles and all its articles and the bread of the Presence; 14 the lampstand ( M ) that is for light with its accessories, lamps and oil for the light; 15 the altar ( N ) of incense with its poles, the anointing oil ( O ) and the fragrant incense; ( P ) the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle; ( Q ) 16 the altar ( R ) of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the bronze basin ( S ) with its stand; 17 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; ( T ) 18 the tent pegs ( U ) for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, and their ropes; 19 the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary—both the sacred garments ( V ) for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests.”
20 Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses’ presence, 21 and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. 22 All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord . 23 Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn ( W ) or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them. 24 Those presenting an offering of silver or bronze brought it as an offering to the Lord , and everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work brought it. 25 Every skilled woman ( X ) spun with her hands and brought what she had spun—blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen. 26 And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. 27 The leaders ( Y ) brought onyx stones and other gems ( Z ) to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. 28 They also brought spices and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. ( AA ) 29 All the Israelite men and women who were willing ( AB ) brought to the Lord freewill offerings ( AC ) for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills ( AE ) — 32 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33 to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. 34 And he has given both him and Oholiab ( AF ) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach ( AG ) others. 35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work ( AH ) as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.
