[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
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.
