The Sabbath

1And Moses gathered together all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and he said to them, “These are the words that YHWH has commanded—to do them: 2Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day shall be for you⁺ holy, a Sabbath of complete rest to YHWH. Every doer of work on it shall be put to death. 3You⁺ shall not kindle a fire in any of your⁺ dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

Offerings for the Tabernacle
(Exodus 25:1–9)

4And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the word that YHWH has commanded, saying, 5take from among you⁺ a contribution to YHWH; everyone of a willing heart, shall bring it as a contribution to YHWH:

gold, and silver, and bronze,

6and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn;

and fine linen, and goats’ hair;

7and ram skins dyed red, and badger skins;†

and acacia wood;

8and oil for the light;

and spices for the anointing oil and for the incense of spices;

9and onyx stones, and stones as settings for the ephod and for the breastplate.

The Skilled Craftsmen

10And all wise of heart among you⁺ shall come, and they shall make all that YHWH has commanded:

11The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;

12the ark and its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil of the screen;

13the table and its poles and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence;

14and the lampstand for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and oil for the light;

15and the altar of incense and its poles;

and the anointing oil and the incense; of spices and

the screen of the door for the entrance of the tabernacle;

16the altar of the burnt offering and the bronze grate that is for it, its poles and all its vessels;

the basin and its stand;

17the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen of the gate of the court;

18the pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court, and their cords;

19the woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to minister as priests.”

The People Offer Gifts

20And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from before the face of Moses. 21And they came in—every man whom his heart lifted him and everyone whom his spirit impelled him—and they brought a contribution of YHWH for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.

22And they came in, the men along with the women—everyone willing of heart—they brought hooks and earrings and rings and necklaces, every article of gold, and everyone who waved a wave offering of gold to YHWH.

23And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams skins dyed red, and badger skins, brought them in. 24Everyone lifting a contribution of silver and bronze brought in a contribution of YHWH. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for every work of the service brought it.

25And every woman wise of heart spun with her hands, and they brought in what she had spun of the blue and the purple, of the scarlet yarn and of the fine linen. 26And all the women whose heart was lifted up with wisdom spun the goats’ hair.

27And the rulers brought the onyx stones and stones as the settings for the ephod and for the breastplate, 28and the spice, and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the incense of spices.

29Every man and woman whose heart impelled him to bring in for all the work that YHWH had commanded to be done by the hand of Moses—the sons of Israel brought a freewill offering to YHWH.

Bezalel and Oholiab
(Exodus 31:1–11)

30And Moses said to the sons of Israel, “See, YHWH has called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31And He has filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship, 32and to design artistic works, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze, 33and in cutting stone for setting, and in cutting wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship. 34And to teach

He has given in his heart—he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35He has filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work of an engraver and designer and weaver in the blue and the purple, in the scarlet yarn, and in the fine linen, and of a weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.
