The Sabbath Command
1Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do:#Ex 34:32 2For six days work is to be done, but on the seventh day you are to have a holy day, a Sabbath#Ex 20:9; Lv 23:3 of complete rest to the Lord. Anyone who does work on it must be executed. 3Do not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”#Ex 16:23
Building the Tabernacle
4Then Moses said to the entire Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: 5Take#Ex 25:2–7 up an offering among you for the Lord. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring this as the Lord’s offering: gold, silver, and bronze; 6blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair; 7ram skins dyed red and fine leather;#35:7 Hb obscure acacia wood; 8oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9and onyx with gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece.
10“Let all the skilled artisans#35:10 Lit the wise of heart among you come and make everything that the Lord has commanded:#Ex 31:6 11the tabernacle — its tent and covering, its clasps and supports, its crossbars, its pillars and bases; 12the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the curtain for the screen; 13the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence; 14the lampstand for light with its utensils and lamps as well as the oil for the light; 15the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the entryway screen for the entrance to the tabernacle; 16the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand; 17the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and bases, and the screen for the gate of the courtyard; 18the tent pegs for the tabernacle and the tent pegs for the courtyard, along with their ropes; 19and the specially woven#35:19 Hb obscure garments for ministering in the sanctuary — the holy garments for the priest Aaron and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”#Ex 24:5–6; 25:10,23,30–31; 26:1–2; 27:1,9; 30:1,25,34; 31:10; 39:1,41; Lv 24:5–6; Nm 4:5
20Then the entire Israelite community left Moses’s presence. 21Everyone whose heart was moved and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.#Ex 36:2 22Both men and women came; all who had willing hearts brought brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry — everyone who presented a presentation offering of gold to the Lord. 23Everyone who possessed blue, purple, or scarlet yarn,#1Ch 29:8 fine linen or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or fine leather,#35:23 Hb obscure brought them. 24Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the Lord. Everyone who possessed acacia wood useful for any task in the work brought it. 25Every skilled#35:25 Lit wise of heart woman#Ex 28:3 spun yarn with her hands and brought it: blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen. 26And all the women whose hearts were moved spun the goat hair by virtue of their skill. 27The leaders#1Ch 29:6; Ezr 2:68 brought onyx and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece, 28as well as the spice#Ex 30:23 and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29So the Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts prompted them to bring something for all the work that the Lord, through Moses, had commanded to be done.#Ex 35:21; 36:3; 1Ch 29:9
Bezalel and Oholiab
30Moses#Ex 31:1–6; 2Ch 2:14 then said to the Israelites, “Look, the Lord has appointed by name Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31He has filled him with God’s Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in every kind of craft 32to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, 33to cut gemstones for mounting, and to carve wood for work in every kind of artistic craft. 34He has also given#35:34 Lit also put in his heart both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. 35He has filled them with skill#35:35 Lit with wisdom of heart to do all the work#Ex 31:3,6; 1Kg 7:14 of a gem cutter; a designer; an embroiderer#35:35 Or weaver in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen; and a weaver. They can do every kind of craft and design artistic designs.

Exodus 35
35
1 MOSES GATHERED all the congregation of the Israelites together and said to them, These are the things which the Lord has commanded that you do:
2 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be to you a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever works [on that day] shall be put to death.
3 You shall kindle no fire in all your dwellings on the Sabbath day.
4 And Moses said to all the congregation of the Israelites, This is what the Lord commanded:
5 Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing and generous heart, let him bring the Lord's offering: gold, silver, and bronze;
6 Blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], fine linen; goats' hair;
7 And rams' skins tanned red, and skins of dolphins or porpoises; and acacia wood;
8 And oil for the light; and spices for anointing oil and for fragrant incense;
9 And onyx stones and other stones to be set for the ephod and the breastplate.
10 And let every able and wisehearted man among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:
11 The tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets or bases;
12 The ark and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the screen;
13 The table and its poles and all its utensils, and the showbread (the bread of the Presence);
14 The lampstand also for the light, and its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
15 And the incense altar and its poles, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, the hanging or screen for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle;
16 The altar of burnt offering, with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the laver and its base;
17 The court's hangings, its pillars and their sockets or bases, and the hanging or screen for the gate of the court;
18 The pegs of the tabernacle and of the court, and their cords,
19 The finely wrought garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the [high] priest and for his sons to minister as priests.
20 Then all the congregation of the Israelites left Moses' presence.
21 And they came, each one whose heart stirred him up and whose spirit made him willing, and brought the Lord's offering to be used for the [new] Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and the holy garments.
22 They came, both men and women, all who were willinghearted, and brought brooches, earrings or nose rings, signet rings, and armlets or necklaces, all jewels of gold, everyone bringing an offering of gold to the Lord.
23 And everyone with whom was found blue or purple or scarlet [stuff], or fine linen, or goats' hair, or rams' skins made red [in tanning], or dolphin or porpoise skins brought them.
24 Everyone who could make an offering of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord's offering, and every man with whom was found any acacia wood for any work of the service brought it.
25 All the women who had ability and were wisehearted spun with their hands and brought what they had spun of blue and purple and scarlet [stuff] and fine linen;
26 And all the women who had ability and whose hearts stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate,
28 And spice, and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.
29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all men and women whose hearts made them willing and moved them to bring anything for any of the work which the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done.
30 And Moses said to the Israelites, See, the Lord called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and wisdom, with intelligence and understanding, and with knowledge and all craftsmanship,
32 To devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 In cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, for work in every skilled craft.
34 And God has put in Bezalel's heart that he may teach, both he and Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart and ability to do all manner of craftsmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, of the embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do or design any skilled work.
