[VAYYAKHEL]
1And Moshe assembled kol Adat Bnei Yisroel, and said unto them, These are the Devarim which Hashem hath commanded, that ye should do them.
2Sheshet yamim shall work be done, but on the Yom HaShevi'i shall be to you [plural] Kodesh Shabbos Shabbaton to Hashem; whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
3Ye shall kindle no eish throughout your habitations upon Yom HaShabbos.
4And Moshe spoke unto kol Adat Bnei Yisroel, saying, This is the thing which Hashem commanded, saying,
5Take ye from among you a terumah (offering) unto Hashem; all of nediv lev of him,#35:5 i.e., urged by his heart let him bring it, a terumat Hashem, zahav, and kesef, and nechoshet,
6And turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool, and fine linen, and goat hair,
7And red-dyed ram skins, and tachash skins, and acacia wood,
8And shemen for the light, and spices for shemen hamishchah, and for the aromatic ketoret,
9And shoham stones, and gemstones to be set for the Ephod, and for the Choshen.
10And kol chacham lev among you shall come, and make all that Hashem hath commanded:
11The Mishkan, its Ohel, and its Mikhseh, its hooks, and its kerashim (planks), its crossbars, its ammudim, and its sockets,
12The Aron, and the carrying poles thereof, with the Kapporet, and the Parochet HaMasach,
13The Shulchan, and its carrying poles, and all its utensils, and the Lechem HaPanim,
14The Menorat HaMaohr, and its utensils, and its nerot (lamps), with the Shemen HaMaohr,
15And the Mizbe'ach HaKetoret, and its carrying poles, and the Shemen HaMishchah, and the ketoret spices, and the masach hapetach at the petach of the Mishkan,
16The Mizbe'ach HaOlah, with its mikhbar hanechoshet, its carrying poles, and all its utensils, the Kiyor, and its Stand,
17The curtains of the khatzer, its ammudim, and its sockets, and the masach Sha'ar HaKhatzer,
18The tent pegs of the Mishkan, and the tent pegs of the khatzer, and their cords,
19The Bigdei HaSerad leSharet baKodesh (to do service in HaKodesh), the Bigdei HaKodesh for Aharon the kohen, and the garments of his banim, to minister in the kohenʼs office.
20And all the Adat Bnei Yisroel departed from the presence of Moshe.
21And they came, every one whose lev moved him, and every one of nedevah ruach of him, and they brought terumat Hashem to the work of the Ohel Mo'ed, and for kol avodat of it, and for the Bigdei HaKodesh.
22And they came, both anashim and nashim, as many as were nediv lev, and brought bracelets, and face-adornment rings, and rings, and body ornaments, all jewelry of zahav; and every ish that offered offered a tenufat zahav unto Hashem.
23And kol ish, with whom was found turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool, and fine linen, and goat hair, and dyed red rams skin, and tachash skins, brought them.
24Every one that did offer a terumat kesef and nechoshet brought the terumat Hashem; and found acacia wood for any melachet haAvodah, brought it.
25And every isha that was chachmat lev spun with her hands, and brought the spun yarn, both of turquoise, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
26And all the nashim whose lev stirred them up in chochmah spun goat hair.
27And the nesi'im brought shoham stones, and gemstones to be set, for the Ephod, and for the Choshen;
28And spice, and shemen for the light, and for the shemen hamishchah, and for the ketoret spices.
29The Bnei Yisroel brought a nedavah unto Hashem, kol ish and isha, with nadav lev of them brought for kol hamelachah, which Hashem had commanded to be done through Moshe.
30And Moshe said unto the Bnei Yisroel, See, Hashem hath called by shem Betzalel ben Uri, ben Chur, of the tribe of Yehudah;
31And He hath filled him with the Ruach Elohim,#35:31 Ac 2:4 in chochmah, in understanding, and in da'as, and in all manner of workmanship;
32And to make machashavot (artistic works), to work in zahav, and in kesef, and in nechoshet,
33And in the cutting of gems, to set them, and in wood carving, to make every melechet machshevet (work of art).
34And He hath given him the ability to teach, both he, and Oholiav ben Achisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35Them hath He filled with chochmat lev, to do all manner of artistic work, of the carver, and of the weaver of artistic design work, and of the embroiderer, in turquoise, and in purple, in scarlet wool, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do artistic work, and of those that make artistic designs.

Exodus 35
35
1Moses gathered together the whole Israelite community and said to them: These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
Instructions for the Sabbath
2Do your work for six days, but the seventh day should be holy to you, a Sabbath of complete rest for the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath will be put to death. 3Don’t start a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.
Preparing to build the dwelling
4Moses said to the whole Israelite community, This is what the LORD has commanded: 5Collect gift offerings for the LORD from all of you. Whoever freely wants to give should bring the LORD’s gift offerings: gold, silver, and copper; 6blue, purple, and deep red yarns; fine linen; goats’ hair; 7rams’ skins dyed red; beaded leather;#35.7 Or dolphin skins acacia wood; 8the oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense; 9gemstones; and gems for setting in the priest’s vest#35.9 Heb ephod and in the priest’s chest pendant.
10All of you who are skilled in crafts should come forward and make everything that the LORD has commanded: 11the dwelling, its tent and its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its posts, and its bases, 12the chest with its poles and its cover, the veil for a screen, 13the table with its poles and all its equipment, the bread of the presence, 14the lampstand for light with its equipment and its lamps, the oil for the light, 15the incense altar with its poles, the anointing oil and the sweet-smelling incense, the entrance screen for the dwelling’s entrance, 16the altar for entirely burned offerings with its copper grate, its poles, and all its equipment, the washbasin with its stand, 17the courtyard’s drapes, its posts, and its bases, and the screen for the courtyard gate, 18the dwelling’s tent pegs and the courtyard’s tent pegs, and their cords, 19the woven clothing for ministering in the sanctuary, and the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and his sons for their service as priests.
Gifts for building the dwelling
20The whole Israelite community left Moses. 21Everyone who was excited and eager to participate brought the LORD’s gift offerings to be used for building the meeting tent and all its furnishings and for the holy clothes. 22Both men and women came forward. Everyone who was eager to participate brought pins, earrings, rings, and necklaces, all sorts of gold objects. Everyone raised an uplifted offering of gold to the LORD. 23And everyone who had blue or purple or deep red yarn or fine linen or goats’ hair or rams’ skins dyed red or beaded leather brought them. 24Everyone who could make a gift offering of silver or copper brought it as the LORD’s gift offering. Everyone who had acacia wood that could be used in any kind of building work brought it. 25All the skilled women spun cloth with their hands, and brought what they had spun in blue and purple and deep red yarns and fine linen. 26All the women who were eager to use their skill spun the goats’ hair. 27The chiefs brought gemstones and gems to be set in the priest’s vest and the chest pendant, 28spices and oil for light and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet-smelling incense. 29All the Israelite men and women who were eager to contribute something for the work that the LORD had commanded Moses to do brought it as a spontaneous gift to the LORD.
Moses introduces Bezalel and Oholiab
30Then Moses said to the Israelites: “Look, the LORD has chosen Bezalel, Uri’s son and Hur’s grandson from the tribe of Judah. 31The LORD has filled him with the divine spirit that will give him skill, ability, and knowledge for every kind of work. 32He will be able to create designs, do metalwork in gold, silver, and copper, 33cut stones for setting, carve wood, do every kind of creative work, 34and have the ability to teach others. Both he and Oholiab, Ahisamach’s son from the tribe of Dan, 35have been given the skill to do every kind of work done by a gem cutter or a designer or a needleworker in blue, purple, and deep red yarns and in fine linen or a weaver or anyone else doing work or creating designs.
