Chapter 35
1 Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel , and said to them , " These are the words which the LORD has commanded , that you should do them .
2 ‘ Six days shall work be done , but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you , a Sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD : whoever does any work in it shall be put to death .
3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day .’"
4 Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel , saying , " This is the thing which the LORD commanded , saying ,
5 ‘ Take from amongst you an offering to the LORD . Whoever is of a willing heart , let him bring it as the LORD ’s offering : gold , silver , bronze ,
6 blue , purple , scarlet , fine linen , goats ’ hair,
7 rams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides , acacia wood ,
8 oil for the light , spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense ,
9 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate .
10 "‘Let every wise-hearted man amongst you come, and make all that the LORD has commanded :
11 the tabernacle , its outer covering , its roof, its clasps , its boards , its bars , its pillars , and its sockets;
12 the ark, and its poles, the mercy seat , the veil of the screen ;
13 the table with its poles and all its vessels , and the show bread ;
14 the lamp stand also for the light , with its vessels , its lamps , and the oil for the light ;
15 and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil , the sweet incense , the screen for the door , at the door of the tabernacle ;
16 the altar of burnt offering , with its grating of bronze , its poles, and all its vessels , the basin and its base ;
17 the hangings of the court , its pillars , their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court ;
18 the pins of the tabernacle , the pins of the court , and their cords ;
19 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place — the holy garments for Aaron the priest , and the garments of his sons — to minister in the priest ’s office.’"
20 All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses .
21 They came , everyone whose heart stirred him up , and everyone whom his spirit made willing , and brought the LORD ’s offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting , and for all of its service , and for the holy garments.
22 They came , both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches , earrings , signet rings , and armlets, all jewels of gold ; even every man who offered an offering of gold to the LORD .
23 Everyone with whom was found blue , purple , scarlet , fine linen , goats ’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red , and sea cow hides , brought them .
24 Everyone who offered an offering of silver and bronze brought the LORD ’s offering ; and everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service , brought it .
25 All the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands , and brought that which they had spun : the blue , the purple , the scarlet , and the fine linen .
26 All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats ’ hair.
27 The rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate ;
28 with the spice and the oil for the light , for the anointing oil , and for the sweet incense .
29 The children of Israel brought a free will offering to the LORD ; every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work , which the LORD had commanded to be made by Moses .
30 Moses said to the children of Israel , " Behold , the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur , of the tribe of Judah .
31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God , in wisdom , in understanding , in knowledge , and in all kinds of workmanship ;
32 and to make skilful works , to work in gold , in silver , in bronze ,
33 in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood , to work in all kinds of skilful workmanship .
34 He has put in his heart that he may teach , both he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan .
35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all kinds of workmanship , of the engraver , of the skilful workman , and of the embroiderer , in blue , in purple , in scarlet , and in fine linen , and of the weaver , even of those who do any workmanship , and of those who make skilful works .
