Rules for the Sabbath Day
1Moses gathered the whole community of Israel together. He said to them, “Here are the things the Lord has commanded you to do. 2You must do your work in six days. But the seventh day will be your holy day. It will be a day of sabbath rest to honor the Lord. You must rest on it. Anyone who does any work on it must be put to death. 3Do not even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”
Supplies for the Holy Tent
4Moses spoke to the whole community of Israel. He said, “Here is what the Lord has commanded. 5Take an offering for the Lord from what you have. Those who want to can bring an offering to the Lord. Here is what they can bring.
“gold, silver and bronze
6blue, purple and bright red yarn and fine linen

7ram skins that are dyed red
another kind of strong leather

8olive oil for the lights
spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense
9onyx stones and other jewels for the linen apron and the chest cloth
10“All the skilled workers among you must come. They must make everything the Lord has commanded 11for the holy tent and its covering. Here is what they must make.
“hooks, frames, crossbars, posts and bases
12the ark of the covenant law, the poles and cover for the ark, and the curtain that hides the ark
13the table for the holy bread, the poles and all the things for the table, and the holy bread

18the ropes and tent stakes for the holy tent and for the courtyard
19and the sacred clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons when they serve as priests”
20Then the whole community of Israel left Moses. 21Everyone who wanted to give offerings to the Lord brought them to him. The offerings were for the work on the tent of meeting. They were also for the sacred clothes and for any other purpose at the tent. 22Every man and woman who wanted to give came. They brought gold jewelry of all kinds. They brought pins, earrings, rings and other jewelry. All of them gave their gold as a wave offering to the Lord. 23People brought what they had. They brought blue, purple or bright red yarn or fine linen. They brought goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or the other kind of strong leather. 24Some brought silver or bronze as an offering to the Lord. Others brought acacia wood for any part of the work. 25All the skilled women spun yarn with their hands. They brought blue, purple or bright red yarn or fine linen. 26All the skilled women who wanted to spin the goat hair did so. 27The leaders brought onyx stones and other jewels for the linen apron and the chest cloth. 28They also brought spices and olive oil. They brought them for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet-smelling incense. 29All the men and women of Israel who wanted to bring offerings to the Lord brought them to him. The offerings were for all the work the Lord had commanded Moses to tell them to do.
Bezalel and Oholiab
30Then Moses spoke to the people of Israel. He said, “The Lord has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri. Uri is the son of Hur. Bezalel is from the tribe of Judah. 31The Lord has filled him with the Spirit of God. He has filled him with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skill. 32Bezalel can make beautiful patterns in gold, silver and bronze. 33He can cut and set stones. He can work with wood. In fact, he can work in all kinds of arts and crafts. 34And the Lord has given both him and Oholiab the ability to teach others. Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak, is from the tribe of Dan. 35The Lord has filled Bezalel and Oholiab with skill to do all kinds of work. They can carve things and make patterns. They can sew skillfully with blue, purple and bright red yarn and on fine linen. They use thread to make beautiful cloth. Both of them have the skill to work in all kinds of crafts.

Shemoth (Exodus) 35
35
1And Mosheh assembled all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and said to them, “These are the Words which יהוה has commanded you to do:
2“Work is done for six days, but on the seventh day it shall be set-apart to you, a Sabbath of rest to יהוה. Anyone doing work on it is put to death.
3“Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
4And Mosheh spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the word which יהוה commanded, saying,
5‘Take from among you a contribution to יהוה. Everyone whose heart so moves him, let him bring it as a contribution to יהוה: gold, and silver, and bronze,
6and blue, and purple, and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
7and ram skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood,
8and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
9and shoham stones, and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate.
10‘And let all the wise-hearted among you come and make all that יהוה has commanded:
11the Dwelling Place, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its columns, and its sockets,
12the ark and its poles, the lid of atonement and the veil of the covering,
13the table and its poles, and all its utensils, and the showbread,
14and the lampstand for the light, and its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,
15and the incense slaughter-place, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the covering for the door at the entrance of the Dwelling Place,
16the slaughter-place of ascending offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand,
17the screens of the courtyard, its columns, and their sockets, and the covering for the gate of the courtyard,
18the pegs of the Dwelling Place, and the pegs of the courtyard, and their cords,
19the woven garments to do service in the set-apart place, the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest and the garments of his sons to serve as priests.’ ”
20And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl withdrew from the presence of Mosheh.
21And everyone whose heart lifted him up and everyone whose spirit moved him came, and they brought the contribution to יהוה for the work of the Tent of Appointment, and for all its service, and for the set-apart garments.
22And they came, both men and women, all whose hearts moved them, and brought earrings and nose rings, and rings and necklaces, all golden goods, even every one who made a wave offering of gold to יהוה.
23And every man, with whom was found blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, brought them.
24Everyone who would make a contribution to יהוה of silver or bronze, brought it. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
25And all the wise-hearted women spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, the blue and the purple, the scarlet material, and the fine linen.
26And all the women whose hearts lifted them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.
27And the rulers brought shoham stones, and the stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate,
28and the spices and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29The children of Yisra’ĕl brought a voluntary offering to יהוה, all the men and women whose hearts moved them to bring all kinds of work which יהוה, by the hand of Mosheh, had commanded to be done.
30And Mosheh said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, “See, יהוה has called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah,
31and He has filled him with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
32to make designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze,
33and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to work in all workmanship of design.
34“And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ, of the tribe of Dan.
35“He has filled them with skill to do all work of the engraver and the designer and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and a weaver, doing any work, and makers of designs.
