Exodus 35
35
1And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done.
2Six days you shall do work: the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath, and the rest of the Lord. He that shall do any work on it shall be put to death.
3You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day.
4And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:
5Set aside with you first-fruits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing, and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass:
6Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats' hair:
7And rams' skins dyed red, and violet-coloured skins, setim wood:
8And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet incense:
9Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod and the rational.
10Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded:
11To wit, the tabernacle and the roof thereof, and the cover, the rings, and the board-work with the oars, the pillars, and the sockets:
12The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it:
13The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of proposition:
14The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires:
15The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction and the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle:
16The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels thereof: the laver and its foot:
17The curtains of the court with the pillars and the sockets: the hanging in the doors of the entry:
18The pins of the tabernacle and of the court with their little cords:
19The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the sanctuary: the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do the office of priesthood to me.
20And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence of Moses,
21Offered first-fruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatsoever was necessary to the service, and to the holy vestments,
22Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.
23If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, and violet-coloured skins,
24Metal of silver and brass: they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses.
25The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
26And goats' hair, giving all of their own accord.
27But the princes offered onyx stones, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational:
28And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour.
29All both men and women with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.
30And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold the Lord hath called by name Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda.
31And hath filled him with the spirit of God: with wisdom and understanding and knowledge and all learning.
32To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,
33And in engraving stones, and in carpenters' work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially,
34He hath given in his heart: Ooliab, also the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan:
35Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters' work, and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen; and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.

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.
