Exodus 35
1¶ And Moses gathered all the congregation of the sons of Israel together and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord has commanded that ye should do them.
2Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be holy unto you, a sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does work therein shall die.
3Ye shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4And Moses spoke unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, This is what the Lord commanded, saying,
5Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord; whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord: gold, silver, brass;
6blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair;
7rams’ skins dyed red, badgers’ skins, cedar wood;
8oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for the aromatic incense;
9onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the pectoral.
10And everyone that is wise hearted among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded:
11The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
12the ark and its staves, the seat of reconciliation, and the veil of the tent,
13the table and its staves and all its vessels, and the showbread;
14the lampstand also for the light and its vessels and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
15and the altar of incense and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle,
16the altar of burnt offering with its brasen grate, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
17the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18the stakes of the tabernacle and the stakes of the court, and their cords,
19the clothing of service to minister in the sanctuary, that is, the holy garments of Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to serve in the priesthood.
20¶ And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21And they came, every man whose heart stirred him up, and every one whose spirit made them willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of the testimony and for all his service and for the holy garments.
22And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought chains and earrings, rings and bracelets, and all jewels of gold; and anyone that offered an offering of gold unto the Lord.
23Every man who had blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen or goats’ hair or red skins of rams or badgers’ skins brought them.
24Anyone that offered an offering of silver or brass brought the offering unto the Lord; and every man, with whom was found cedar wood, brought it for all the work of the service.
25And all the women that were wise hearted spun with their hands and brought that which they had spun: blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen.
26And all the women whose heart lifted them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.
27And the princes brought onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the pectoral;
28and aromatic spice and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense.
29Of the sons of Israel, men and women, all that had a willing heart to bring for all the work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses, brought a voluntary offering unto the Lord.
30¶ And Moses said unto the sons of Israel, See, the Lord has named Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in intelligence, in science, and in all manner of workmanship;
32to invent and devise, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,
33and in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
34And he has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35And he has filled them 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: that they may do any work, and invent every design.

Exodus 35
35
Building the Place of Worship
1Moses spoke to the entire congregation of Israel, saying, “These are the things that God has commanded you to do:
2-3“Work six days, but the seventh day will be a holy rest day, God’s holy rest day. Anyone who works on this day must be put to death. Don’t light any fires in your homes on the Sabbath day.”
The Offerings
4Moses spoke to the entire congregation of Israel, saying, “This is what God has commanded:
5-9“Gather from among you an offering for God. Receive on God’s behalf what everyone is willing to give as an offering: gold, silver, bronze; blue, purple, and scarlet material; fine linen; goats’ hair; tanned rams’ skins; dolphin skins; acacia wood; lamp oil; spices for anointing oils and for fragrant incense; onyx stones and other stones for setting in the Ephod and the Breastpiece.
10-19“Come—all of you who have skills—come and make everything that God has commanded: The Dwelling with its tent and cover, its hooks, frames, crossbars, posts, and bases; the Chest with its poles, the Atonement-Cover and veiling curtain; the Table with its poles and implements and the Bread of the Presence; the Lampstand for giving light with its furnishings and lamps and the oil for lighting; the Altar of Incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense; the screen for the door at the entrance to The Dwelling; the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering with its bronze grate and poles and all its implements; the Washbasin with its base; the tapestry hangings for the Courtyard with the posts and bases, the screen for the Courtyard gate; the pegs for The Dwelling, the pegs for the Courtyard with their cords; the official vestments for ministering in the Holy Place, the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest and for his sons serving as priests.”
20-26So everyone in the community of Israel left the presence of Moses. Then they came back, every one whose heart was roused, whose spirit was freely responsive, bringing offerings to God for building the Tent of Meeting, furnishing it for worship and making the holy vestments. They came, both men and women, all the willing spirits among them, offering brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces—anything made of gold—offering up their gold jewelry to God. And anyone who had blue, purple, and scarlet fabrics; fine linen; goats’ hair; tanned leather; and dolphin skins brought them. Everyone who wanted to offer up silver or bronze as a gift to God brought it. Everyone who had acacia wood that could be used in the work, brought it. All the women skilled at weaving brought their weavings of blue and purple and scarlet fabrics and their fine linens. And all the women who were gifted in spinning, spun the goats’ hair.
27-29The leaders brought onyx and other precious stones for setting in the Ephod and the Breastpiece. They also brought spices and olive oil for lamp oil, anointing oil, and incense. Every man and woman in Israel whose heart moved them freely to bring something for the work that God through Moses had commanded them to make, brought it, a voluntary offering for God.
Bezalel and Oholiab
30-35Moses told the Israelites, “See, God has selected Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. He’s filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and know-how for making all sorts of things, to design and work in gold, silver, and bronze; to carve stones and set them; to carve wood, working in every kind of skilled craft. And he’s also made him a teacher, he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. He’s gifted them with the know-how needed for carving, designing, weaving, and embroidering in blue, purple, and scarlet fabrics, and in fine linen. They can make anything and design anything.”
