Exodus 35

CHAPTER 35

1Therefore when all the company of the sons of Israel was gathered, Moses said to them, These things it be, which the Lord commanded to be done.

2Six days ye shall do work, the seventh day shall be holy to you, the sabbath and the rest of the Lord; he that doeth work in the sabbath shall be slain.

3Ye shall not kindle fire in all your dwelling places by the sabbath day.

4And Moses said to all the company of the sons of Israel, This is the word which the Lord commanded, and said,

5Separate ye at you the first fruits to the Lord; each willful man and of ready will offer them to the Lord, gold, and silver, and brass,

6and jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and bis, and hairs of goats,

7and skins of rams made red, and skins of jacinth, and [the] wood of shittim,

8and oil to the lights to be ordained, and spices so that the ointment be made, and the incense most sweet,

9stones of onyx, and gems, to the adorning of the cloth on the shoulders [or cape], and of the rational.

10Whoever of you is wise, come he, and make that, that the Lord commanded,

11that is, the tabernacle, and the roof thereof, and the covering; rings, and the buildings of boards, with [the] bars, stakes, and foundaments;

12the ark, and bars; the propitiatory, and the veil, which is hanged before it;

13the board, with bars, and vessels, and with [the] loaves of setting forth;

14the candlestick to sustain [the] lights, the vessels, and lanterns thereof, and oil to the nourishing of fires;

15the altar of incense, and the bars; the oil of anointing, and [the] incense of sweet smelling spiceries [or spices]; the curtain at the door of the tabernacle;

16the altar of burnt sacrifice, and his brazen griddle, with his bars, and vessels; the great washing vessel, and his foundament;

17the curtains of the large entry, with the pillars, and their bases; the curtain in the doors of the porch;

18the stakes of the tabernacle, and of the large entry, with their cords;

19the clothes, whose use is in the service of the saintuary; the clothes of Aaron the bishop, and of his sons, that they be set in priesthood to me.

20And all the multitude of the sons of Israel went out of the sight of Moses,

21and offered with most ready soul and devout the first things to the Lord, to make the work of the tabernacle of witnessing, whatever was needful to the adorning, and to the holy clothes.

22Men and women gave bies of the arms, and earrings, and other rings, and ornaments of their arms nigh the hand; each golden vessel was separated into the gifts of the Lord.

23If any man had jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, bis, and the hairs of goats, skins of rams made red, and skins of jacinth, either blue,

24metals of silver, and of brass, they offered to the Lord, and [the] wood of shittim into diverse uses.

25But also women taught gave those things, which they had spun, jacinth, and purple, and vermilion, and bis,

26and the hairs of goats; and they gave all things by their own free will.

27Forsooth princes offered stones of onyx, and gems, to the cloth on the shoulders [or cape], and to the rational,

28and sweet smelling spiceries [or spices], and oil to the lights to be ordained, and to make ready the ointment, and to make the incense of the sweetest odour.

29All men and women offered gifts with devout souls, that the works should be made, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses; all the sons of Israel hallowed will-fully things to the Lord.

30And Moses said to the sons of Israel, Lo! the Lord hath called Bezaleel by name, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the lineage of Judah;

31and the Lord hath filled him with the spirit of God, of wisdom, and of understanding, and of knowing, and with all doctrine,

32to find out and to make work in gold, and silver, and brass,

33and in stones to be engraved, and in work of carpentry; whatever thing may be found craftily,

34the Lord hath given in his heart; and the Lord hath called Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the lineage of Dan;

35the Lord [hath] taught both with wisdom, that they make the works of a carpenter, of a stainer, and of an embroiderer, of jacinth, and of purple, and of red silk twice-dyed, and of bis, and that they make all things, and find all new things.

Exodus 35

1Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things which the Lord has commanded you to do. 2#Ex 23.12; 31.12-17; 34.21; Deut 5.12-15. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy sabbath of solemn rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death; 3you shall kindle no fire in all your habitations on the sabbath day.”

4 # Ex 25.1-9. Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded. 5Take from among you an offering to the Lord; whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's offering: gold, silver, and bronze; 6blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen; goats' hair, 7tanned rams' skins, and goatskins; 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“And let every able man among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: the tabernacle, 11its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil of the screen; 13the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; 14the lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light; 15and the altar of incense, with its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; 16the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the laver and its base; 17the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their cords; 19the finely wrought garments for ministering 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, every one whose heart stirred him, and every one whose spirit moved him, and brought the Lord's offering 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 every man with whom was found blue or purple or scarlet stuff or fine linen or goats' hair or tanned rams' skins or goatskins, brought them. 24Every one who could make an offering of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord's offering; and every man with whom was found acacia wood of any use in the work, brought it. 25And all women who had ability spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen; 26all the women whose hearts were moved with ability spun the goats' hair. 27And the 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. 29All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work which the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done, brought it as their freewill offering to the Lord.

30 # Ex 31.1-6. And 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 ability, 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 filled them with ability to do every sort of work done by a craftsman or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.
