Exodus 35

1verseMoses 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.

2verse‘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.

3verseYou shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.’”

4verseMoses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,

5verse‘Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as the LORD’s offering: gold, silver, bronze,

6verseblue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair,

7verserams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,

8verseoil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

9verseonyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

10verse“‘Let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that the LORD has commanded:

11versethe tabernacle, its outer covering, its roof, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

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

13versethe table with its poles and all its vessels, and the show bread;

14versethe lamp stand also for the light, with its vessels, its lamps, and the oil for the light;

15verseand the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;

16versethe altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its vessels, the basin and its base;

17versethe hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;

18versethe pins of the tabernacle, the pins of the court, and their cords;

19versethe 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.’”

20verseAll the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

21verseThey 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.

22verseThey 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.

23verseEveryone with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them.

24verseEveryone 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.

25verseAll 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.

26verseAll the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.

27verseThe rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate;

28versewith the spice and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

29verseThe 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.

30verseMoses 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.

31verseHe has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship;

32verseand to make skillful works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,

33versein cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship.

34verseHe has put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35verseHe has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all kinds of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful 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 skillful works.
