Exodus 35
35
1 Therefore, when all the multitude of the sons of Israel had gathered together, he said to them: "These are the things that the Lord has ordered to be done:
2 For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, the Sabbath and the rest of the Lord, will be holy to you; whoever will have done any work in it shall be killed.
3 You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling places throughout the day of the Sabbath."
4 And Moses said to the entire crowd of the sons of Israel: "This is the word which the Lord has instructed, saying:
5 Separate from among you the first-fruits to the Lord. Let all who are willing and have a ready soul offer these to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,
6 hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,
7 and the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins, setim wood,
8 and oil to prepare lights and to produce ointment, and most sweet incense,
9 onyx stones and gems, to adorn the ephod and the breastplate.
10 And whoever among you is wise, let him come and make what the Lord has commanded:
11 the tabernacle, certainly, and its roof, and also the covering, the rings, and the panels with the bars, the tent pegs and the bases,
12 the ark and its bars, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it,
13 the table with its bars and vessels, and the bread of the presence,
14 the lampstand to hold up the lights, its vessels and lamps, and the oil to the nourish the fire,
15 the altar of incense and its bars, and the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics, the tent at the door of the tabernacle,
16 the altar of holocaust and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels, the washtub and its base,
17 the curtains of the atrium, with the columns and the bases, the hanging at the doors of the vestibule,
18 the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium, with their little cords,
19 the vestments, which are to be used in the ministry of the Sanctuary, the vestments of Aaron, the high priest, as well as those of his sons, in order to exercise the priesthood to me."
20 And all the multitude of the sons of Israel, departing from the sight of Moses,
21 offered the first-fruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was needed for worship and for the holy vestments,
22 men along with women provided: arm bands and earrings, rings and bracelets. And every vessel of gold was separated, to be donated to the Lord.
23 If anyone had hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, fine linen and the hair of goats, the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins,
24 metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, along with setim wood for various uses.
25 But the skillful women also gave whatever they had spun: hyacinth, purple, and vermillion, as well as fine linen,
26 and the hair of goats, donating everything of their own accord.
27 Yet truly, the leaders offered onyx stones and gems, for the ephod and the breastplate,
28 and aromatics and oil, to maintain the lights, and to prepare ointment, and also to produce incense with a most sweet odor.
29 All the men and women offered donations with a devout mind, so that the works might be done which the Lord had ordered by the hand of Moses. All the sons of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.
30 And Moses said to the sons of Israel: "Behold, the Lord has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah,
31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, and all teaching,
32 to design and to fashion, with gold and silver and brass,
33 and with engraving stones, and with the skill of a carpenter. Whatever can be skillfully invented,
34 he has given to his heart. It is likewise with Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan.
35 He has taught both of them wisdom, in order to do the work of carpentry, tapestry, and embroidery, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, and every textile, and to discover whatever may be new."

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.

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.

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.
