35:1 And Moses assembled all the community of the Israelites, and he said to them, “These are the words which Yahweh has commanded that you do.¹ 35:2 In six days² work will be done, but on the seventh day there will be a holy day³ for you, a sabbath of complete rest to Yahweh.⁴ Anyone who does work on it will be put to death. 35:3 You will not kindle a fire⁵ in all your dwelling places on the sabbath day.⁶

35:4 And Moses spoke to all the community of the Israelites, saying, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying, 35:5 ‘Take from you⁸ an offering for Yahweh. Let everyone who has a willing heart⁹ bring¹⁰ an offering to Yahweh,¹¹ gold, and silver, and bronze, 35:6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen, and goat’s hair, 35:7 and ram’s skins dyed red, and skins of sea cows, and acacia wood, 35:8 and olive oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, 35:9 and onyx stones, and other gems¹² for mounting¹³ for the ephod and the pouch. 35:10 And every skilled person¹⁴ among you will come and make all that Yahweh has commanded: 35:11 the tabernacle with¹⁵ its tent, and its covering, , its clasps, and its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases; 35:12 the ark, with¹⁶ its poles, the propitiatory lid, and the veil that conceals; 35:13 the table with¹⁷ its poles, and all its vessels, and the bread of the Presence; 35:14 the lampstand for¹⁸ the light and its accessories, and its lamps, and oil for the light; 35:15 and the altar of incense with¹⁹ its poles, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; 35:16 the altar for the burnt offering with²⁰ its bronze grating which is on it, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver and its pedestal; 35:17 the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway to the courtyard; 35:18 tent pegs for the tabernacle and tent pegs for the courtyard and their ropes; 35:19 the woven garments for serving in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.”

35:20 So all the community of the Israelites went out from the presence of Moses. 35:21 And they came—every one²¹ whose heart stirred him up,²² and every one whose spirit was willing;²³ they brought the offering for Yahweh for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.²⁴ 35:22 And they came, men and women alike,²⁵ all who had willing hearts; they brought brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry,²⁶ and every one who waved²⁷ a wave offering of gold to Yahweh.

35:23 And every one had²⁸ blue or²⁹ or purple or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, or goats’ hair, or rams’ skin dyed red, or skins of sea cows, brought them.³⁰ 35:24 Everyone offering an offering of silver or bronze brought it as³¹ an offering to Yahweh, and everyone who had acacia wood³² for any work of the service brought it.³³ 35:25 And every woman who was skilled³⁴ spun with her hands, and brought what she had spun, blue, or purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen. 35:26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up and who were skilled,³⁵ spun goats’ hair.

35:27 And the leaders brought onyx stones, and other gems for mounting³⁶ for the ephod and the pouch; 35:28 and spices, and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

35:29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to Yahweh, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring for all the work which Yahweh had commanded them³⁷ to do through³⁸ Moses.

35:30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, Yahweh has called by name³⁹ Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 35:31 And he has filled him with the Spirit of God—with skill, with understanding, with knowledge, and with all kinds of work, 35:32 to design artistic designs, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, 35:33 and in cutting stones for their setting,⁴⁰ and in cutting wood, to do work in every artistic craft.⁴¹ 35:34 And he has put it in his heart⁴² to teach, he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35:35 He has filled them with skill⁴³ to do all kinds of work⁴⁴ as craftsmen, and designers, and embroiderers in blue and purple and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and weavers. They were⁴⁵ craftsmen in all the work⁴⁶ and artistic designers.⁴⁷-
