 1 Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together and said to them, These are the words that the Lord has commanded to do them. 2 Six days work shall be done, but the seventh day shall be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does work in it must be put to death. 3 You must kindle no fire throughout your living places upon the Sabbath day. 4 Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel saying, This is what the Lord commanded. He said, 5 Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing heart, let them bring an offering to the Lord of gold, silver, bronze, 6 blue, purple, scarlet, bleached linen, goat hair 7 rams' skin dyed red, durable leather+, acacia wood 8 oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for the sweet incense 9 onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breast pocket. 10 Every wise hearted one among you must come and make all that the Lord has commanded. 11 For the tabernacle, its tent, covering, clasps, boards, bars, pillars, and sockets. 12 Make the ark and the staves for it, the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering, 13 the table and its staves and all of its vessels and showbread. 14 Also the lampstand for the light and its vessels, its lamp, with oil for the light, 15 the incense altar and its staves, the anointing oil and sweet incense, and the hanging of the door at the entering in of the tabernacle. 16 Make the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its staves, and all of its vessels, the laver and its base, 17 the hangings of the court, its pillars and their sockets, and the hanging, for the door of the court, 18 the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, 19 the woven garments 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. 20 All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 21 They came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom His spirit made willing. 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. 22 The men came in together with the women, as many as were willing hearted, bringing bracelets and earrings, and rings and ornaments, all jewels of gold. And everyone who offered waved a wave offering of gold to the Lord. 23 Everyone with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, bleached linen, goats' hair, red skins of rams, and fine leather+ brought them. 24 Everyone lifting up an offering of silver and bronze brought the Lord's offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. 25 Every wise hearted woman spun with her hands. They brought spun yarn, blue, and purple, scarlet, and bleached linen. 26 All the women whose hearts were lifted up in wisdom spun goats' hair. 27 The rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breast pocket. 28 They brought spice and oil, for the light and for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense. 29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering to the Lord, every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all kinds of work that the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. 30 Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has called the son of Uri the son of Hur, by the name Bezaleel, of the tribe of Judah. 31 He has filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of work. 32 He is to devise designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze. 33 He is to cut stones to set and carve wood to make every kind of skillful work. 34 He has put in his heart that he may teach, he and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all kinds of work. Of the smith and of the skillful worker and of the embroiderer in blue and in purple, in scarlet and in bleached linen, and of the weaver, of those who do any work, and of those who work out artful work.
