Exodus 35

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
goat hair
7ram skins that are dyed red
another kind of strong leather
acacia wood
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
14the lampstand for light and everything used with it, the lamps, and the olive oil that gives light
15the altar for burning incense, the poles for the altar, the anointing oil and the sweet-smelling incense
the curtain for the entrance to the holy tent
16the altar for burnt offerings with its bronze grate, its poles and all its tools
the large bronze bowl with its stand
17the curtains of the courtyard with their posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard
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.

Exodus 35
35
1And Moses assembleth all the company of the sons of Israel, and saith unto them, ‘These [are] the things which Jehovah hath commanded — to do them:
2Six days is work done, and on the seventh day there is to you a holy [day], a sabbath of rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in it is put to death;
3ye do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day.’
4And Moses speaketh unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
5Take ye from among you a heave-offering to Jehovah; every one whose heart [is] willing doth bring it, — the heave-offering of Jehovah, — gold, and silver, and brass,
6and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' [hair],
7and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice perfume,
9and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
10‘And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all that Jehovah hath commanded:
11‘The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
12‘The ark and its staves, the mercy-seat, and the vail of the covering,
13‘The table and its staves, and all its vessels, and the bread of the presence,
14‘And the candlestick for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,
15‘And the altar of perfume, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the spice perfume, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the tabernacle,
16‘The altar of burnt-offering and the brazen grate which it hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
17‘The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court,
18‘The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19‘The coloured garments, to do service in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to act as priest in.’
20And all the company of the sons of Israel go out from the presence of Moses,
21and they come in — every man whom his heart hath lifted up, and every one whom his spirit hath made willing — they have brought in the heave-offering of Jehovah for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
22And they come in — the men with the women — every willing-hearted one — they have brought in nose-ring, and ear-ring, and seal-ring, and necklace, all golden goods, even every one who hath waved a wave-offering of gold to Jehovah.
23And every man with whom hath been found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' [hair], and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, have brought [them] in;
24every one lifting up a heave-offering of silver and brass have brought in the heaveoffering of Jehovah; and every one with whom hath been found shittim wood for any work of the service brought [it] in.
25And every wise-hearted woman hath spun with her hands, and they bring in yarn, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the linen;
26and all the women whose heart hath lifted them up in wisdom, have spun the goats' [hair].
27And the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate,
28and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the spice perfume;
29every man and woman (whom their heart hath made willing to bring in for all the work which Jehovah commanded to be done by the hand of Moses) [of] the sons of Israel brought in a willing-offering to Jehovah.
30And Moses saith unto the sons of Israel, ‘See, Jehovah hath called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
31and He doth fill him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
32even to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33and in graving of stones for settings, and in graving of wood to work in any work of design.
34‘And to direct He hath put in his heart, he and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;
35He hath filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work, of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer (in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in linen), and weaver, who do any work, and of designers of designs.
