Exodus 35

Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and told them, "These are the things the LORD has commanded you to do.

KJV 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.

Work may be done for six days, but the seventh day is to be a holy day for you — a complete sabbath of rest dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who does any work on that day must be put to death.

KJV 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.

Do not light a fire anywhere in your dwellings on the Sabbath day.

KJV Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

Moses addressed the entire Israelite community: "This is what the LORD has commanded:

KJV And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,

Take from your possessions a contribution for the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze,

KJV 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,

blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, fine linen, and goat hair,

KJV And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

ram skins dyed red, fine leather, and acacia wood,

KJV And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,

oil for the lampstand, spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense,

KJV And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

onyx stones, and gemstones for mounting on the ephod and the breastpiece.

KJV And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

Let all the skilled among you come and produce everything the LORD has commanded:

KJV And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;

the tabernacle with its tent, its covering, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases;

KJV The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the screening curtain;

KJV The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,

the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;

KJV The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,

the lampstand for illumination with its equipment, its lamps, and the oil for light;

KJV The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,

the incense altar with its poles, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the entrance screen at the tabernacle doorway;

KJV 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,

the altar for burnt offerings with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its equipment; the basin with its stand;

KJV The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

the curtains of the courtyard with their posts and bases, and the screen for the courtyard entrance;

KJV The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,

the tent pegs for the tabernacle, the tent pegs for the courtyard, and their ropes;

KJV The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

the woven garments for service in the sanctuary — the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to serve as priests."

KJV 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.

The entire Israelite community then withdrew from Moses's presence.

KJV And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

Everyone whose heart moved them and whose spirit stirred them came forward, bringing their contribution to the LORD for constructing the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments.

KJV 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.

Men and women alike came — all who were generous of heart — bringing brooches, earrings, rings, and ornaments, every kind of gold jewelry. Each one who presented a wave offering of gold gave it to the LORD.

KJV 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.

Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or fine leather brought these materials.

KJV 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.

All who contributed silver or bronze brought their offering to the LORD, and everyone who had acacia wood suitable for any part of the project brought it.

KJV 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.

Every woman skilled in the craft spun with her hands and brought what she had produced — blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

KJV 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.

All the women whose hearts stirred them with skill spun the goat hair.

KJV And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.

The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones for mounting on the ephod and the breastpiece,

KJV And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

along with spices, oil for the lampstand, oil for anointing, and fragrant incense.

KJV And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

Every Israelite man and woman whose heart prompted them to contribute to the work the LORD had commanded through Moses brought a freewill offering to the LORD.

KJV 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.

Moses told the Israelites, "Take note — the LORD has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.

KJV 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;

He has filled him with the Spirit of God — with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and every kind of skill,

KJV And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

to create artistic designs and to work with gold, silver, and bronze,

KJV And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

to cut gemstones for mounting, to carve wood, and to execute every form of artistic craftsmanship.

KJV And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

He has also given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.

KJV And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

He has filled them with skill to carry out every kind of craft — engraving, designing, embroidering with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weaving — performing every kind of work and creating artistic designs."

KJV 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.
