35:1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, "These are the things that the LORD has commanded [you] to do. 35:2 "For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy [day], a sabbath of complete rest to the LORD; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. 35:3 "You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath day." 35:4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, saying, 35:5 'Take from among you a contribution to the LORD; whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as the LORD's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze, 35:6 and blue, purple and scarlet [material], fine linen, goats' [hair], 35:7 and rams' skins dyed red, and porpoise skins, and acacia wood, 35:8 and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, 35:9 and onyx stones and setting stones, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. 35:10 'And let every skillful man among you come, and make all that the LORD has commanded: 35:11 the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 35:12 the ark and its poles, the mercy seat, and the curtain of the screen; 35:13 the table and its poles, and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; 35:14 the lampstand also for the light and its utensils and its lamps and the oil for the light; 35:15 and the altar of incense and its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the doorway at the entrance of the tabernacle; 35:16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; 35:17 the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court; 35:18 the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court and their cords; 35:19 the woven garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.'" 35:20 Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from Moses' presence. 35:21 And everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit moved him came [and] brought the LORD's contribution for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service and for the holy garments. 35:22 Then all whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came [and] brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so [did] every man who presented an offering of gold to the LORD. 35:23 And every man, who had in his possession blue and purple and scarlet [material] and fine linen and goats' [hair] and rams' skins dyed red and porpoise skins, brought them. 35:24 Everyone who could make a contribution of silver and bronze brought the LORD's contribution; and every man, who had in his possession acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. 35:25 And all the skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, [in] blue and purple [and] scarlet [material] and [in] fine linen. 35:26 And all the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats' [hair]. 35:27 And the rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the breastpiece; 35:28 and the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. 35:29 The Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart moved them to bring [material] for all the work, which the LORD had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a freewill offering to the LORD. 35:30 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. 35:31 "And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all craftsmanship; 35:32 to make designs for working in gold and in silver and in bronze, 35:33 and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, so as to perform in every inventive work. 35:34 "He also has put in his heart to teach, both he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35:35 "He has filled them with skill to perform every work of an engraver and of a designer and of an embroiderer, in blue and in purple [and] in scarlet [material], and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs.
