Exodus 35
1 Moses assembled all the congregation
of the children of Israel, and said to them,
“These are the words which Yahweh has
commanded, that you should do them.
2 ‘Six days shall work be done, but on the
seventh day there shall be a holy day for
you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to Yahweh:
whoever does any work in it shall be put to
death.
3 You shall kindle no fire throughout
your habitations on the Sabbath day.’ ”
4 Moses spoke to all the congregation of
the children of Israel, saying, “This is the
thing which Yahweh commanded, saying,
5 ‘Take from among you an offering to
Yahweh. Whoever is of a willing heart, let
him bring it as Yahweh’s offering: gold,
silver, bronze,
6 blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’
hair,
7 rams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides,
acacia wood,
8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing
oil and for the sweet incense,
9 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the
ephod and for the breastplate.
10 “ ‘Let every wise-hearted man among
you come, and make all that Yahweh has
commanded:
11 the tabernacle, its outer covering, its
roof, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
12 the ark, and its poles, the mercy seat,
the veil of the screen;
13 the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the show bread;
14 the lamp stand also for the light, with
its vessels, its lamps, and the oil for the
light;
15 and the altar of incense with its poles,
the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the
screen for the door, at the door of the
tabernacle;
16 the altar of burnt offering, with its
grating of bronze, its poles, and all its vessels, the basin and its base;
17 the hangings of the court, its pillars,
their sockets, and the screen for the gate of
the court;
18 the pins of the tabernacle, the pins of
the court, and their cords;
19 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place—the holy garments
for Aaron the priest, and the garments of
his sons—tominister inthepriest’s office.’ ”
20 All the congregation of the children
of Israel departed from the presence of
Moses.
21 They came, everyone whose heart
stirred him up, and everyone whom his
spirit made willing, and brought Yahweh’s
offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all of its service, and for the
holy garments.
22 They came, both men and women,
as many as were willing-hearted, and
brought brooches, earrings, signet rings,
and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every
man who offered an offering of gold to
Yahweh.
23 Everyone with whom was found blue,
purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair,
rams’ skins dyed red, and sea cow hides,
brought them.
24 Everyone who offered an offering of
silver and bronze brought Yahweh’s offering; and everyone with whom was found
acacia wood for any work of the service,
brought it.
25 Allthe women who were wise-hearted
spun with their hands, and brought that
which they had spun: the blue, the purple,
the scarlet, and the fine linen.
26 All the women whose heart stirred
them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.
27 The rulers brought the onyx stones
and the stones to be set for the ephod and
for the breastplate;
28 with the spice and the oil for the light,
for the anointing oil, and for the sweet
incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a free
will offering to Yahweh; every man and
woman whose heart made them willing to
bring for all the work, which Yahweh had
commanded to be made by Moses.
30 Moses said to the children of Israel,
“Behold, Yahweh has called by name Bezalelthe son of Uri, the son of Hur, ofthe tribe
of Judah.
31 Hehasfilledhimwiththe Spirit of God,
in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship;
32 and to make skillful works, to work in
gold, in silver, in bronze,
33 in cutting of stones for setting, and in
carving of wood, to work in all kinds of
skillful workmanship.
34 He has put in his heart that he may
teach, both he and Oholiab, the son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 He has filled them with wisdom of
heart to work all kinds of workmanship,
of the engraver, of the skillful workman,
and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple,
in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the
weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful
works.
