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 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 `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 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 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 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 All the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats' {hair.} |
35:27 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. |
