CHAPTER 35

Then Moses

assembled

the entire

congregation

of the Israelites

and said

to them,

“These

are the things

that

the LORD

has commanded

you to do:

For six

days

work

shall be done,

but on the seventh

day

you are to have

a holy

Sabbath

of complete rest

to the LORD.

Anyone

who does

work

on that day

must be put to death.

Do not

light

a fire

in any

of your dwellings

on the Sabbath

day.”

Moses also

told

the entire

congregation

of the Israelites,

“This

is what

the LORD

has commanded:

Take

from among you

an offering

to the LORD.

Let everyone

whose heart

is willing

bring

to the LORD

an offering

of gold

and silver

and bronze,

of blue

and purple

and scarlet yarn,

of fine linen

and goat hair,

of ram

skins

dyed red,

fine leather,

and acacia

wood,

of olive oil

for the light

and spices

for the anointing

oil

and for the fragrant

incense,

and of onyx stones

and gemstones

to be mounted

on the ephod

and breastpiece.

Let every

skilled craftsman

among you

come

and make

everything

that

the LORD

has commanded:

the tabernacle

with its tent

and covering,

its clasps

and frames,

its crossbars,

posts,

and bases;

the ark

with its poles

and mercy seat,

and the veil

to shield it;

the table

with its poles,

all

its utensils,

and the Bread

of the Presence;

the lampstand

for light

with its accessories

and lamps

and oil

for the light;

the altar

of incense

with its poles;

the anointing

oil

and fragrant

incense;

the curtain

for the doorway

at the entrance

to the tabernacle;

the altar

of burnt offering

with its bronze

grate,

its poles,

and all

its utensils;

the basin

with its stand;

the curtains

of the courtyard

with its posts

and bases,

and the curtain

for the gate

of the courtyard;

the tent pegs

for the tabernacle

and

for the courtyard,

along with their ropes;

and the woven

garments

for ministering

in the holy place—

both the sacred

garments

for Aaron

the priest

and the garments

for his sons

to serve as priests.”

Then the entire

congregation

of the Israelites

withdrew

from the presence

of Moses.

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 sacred

garments.

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.

Everyone

who

had

blue,

purple,

or scarlet yarn,

or fine linen,

goat hair,

ram

skins

dyed red,

or articles of fine leather

brought them.

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.

Every

skilled

woman

spun

with her hands

and brought

what she had spun:

blue,

purple,

or scarlet yarn,

or fine linen.

And all

the skilled women

whose

hearts

were stirred

spun

the goat hair.

The leaders

brought

onyx

stones

and gemstones

to mount

on the ephod

and breastpiece,

as well as spices

and olive oil

for the light,

for the anointing

oil,

and for the fragrant

incense.

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.

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.

And He has filled

him

with the Spirit

of God,

with wisdom,

understanding,

and ability

in all kinds

of crafts,

to make

artistic designs

for working

in gold

and silver

and bronze,

to cut

gemstones

for mounting,

and to carve

wood

for work

in every

artistic craft.

And the LORD

has given

both him

and Oholiab

son

of Ahisamach,

of the tribe

of Dan,

the ability to teach others.

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.
