[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.

Sabbath Regulations
1Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, #ch. 34:32“These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do. 2#ch. 31:15; See ch. 20:9Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. 3#ch. 16:23You shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day.”
Contributions for the Tabernacle
4Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. 5#For ver. 5-9, see ch. 25:2-7 Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. #See ch. 25:2Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; 6blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats’ hair, 7tanned rams’ skins, and goatskins;#35:7 The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain; also verse 23; compare 25:5 acacia wood, 8oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 9and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.
10“Let #ver. 25; ch. 28:3; 31:6; 36:1, 2every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11#See ch. 26:1-30the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12#See ch. 25:10-16 the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the #ch. 26:31, 33; 39:34; 40:3, 21; Num. 4:5veil of the screen; 13#See ch. 25:23-29 the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the #ch. 25:30bread of the Presence; 14#See ch. 25:31-39 the lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the #ch. 27:20oil for the light; 15#See ch. 30:1-10 and the altar of incense, with its poles, #See ch. 30:23-33 and the anointing oil and the #See ch. 30:34-38 fragrant incense, and #ch. 26:36the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; 16#See ch. 27:1-8 the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the #See ch. 30:18-21basin and its stand; 17#See ch. 27:9-17the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18#ch. 27:19 the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their #ch. 39:40cords; 19the #ch. 31:10finely worked garments for ministering#35:19 Or garments for worship; see 31:10 in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests.”
20Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 21And they came, #See ch. 25:2 everyone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, #ch. 36:3and brought the Lord’s contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22So they came, both men and women. All who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and armlets, all sorts of gold objects, every man dedicating an offering of gold to the Lord. 23And #[1 Chr. 29:8] every one who possessed #ver. 6, 7; ch. 25:4, 5blue or purple or scarlet yarns or fine linen or goats’ hair or tanned rams’ skins or goatskins brought them. 24#ch. 36:3, 6Everyone who could make a contribution of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord’s contribution. And every one who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work brought it. 25And every #ver. 10skillful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. 26All the women #[See ver. 21 above]whose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats’ hair. 27And the #[1 Chr. 29:6-8; Ezra 2:68]leaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastpiece, 28and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29#ch. 36:3All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord.
Construction of the Tabernacle
30 # For ver. 30-34, see ch. 31:1-6 Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with #[1 Kgs. 7:14; 2 Chr. 2:14]skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, 32to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 33in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. 34And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. 35He has #[See ver. 31 above]filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.
