1 Moses assembled the whole congregation of the children of Israel and told them, "These are the things the LORD has commanded you to do.
2 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is to be holy for you, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who works on it is to be put to death.
3 Do not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day."
4 Moses said to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, "This is what the LORD has commanded:
5 Take from what you have a contribution for the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring the LORD's contribution: gold, silver and bronze;
6 blue, purple and scarlet yarn, fine linen and goats' hair;
7 rams' skins dyed red, goatskins and acacia wood;
8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
9 onyx stones and other stones to be mounted on the ephod and on the breastpiece.
10 "All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the LORD has commanded:
11 the tabernacle with its tent and its covering, its clasps, frames, bars, pillars and bases;
12 the ark with its poles, the mercy seat and the veil that screens it off;
13 the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;
14 the lampstand for the light with its utensils and lamps, and the oil for the light;
15 the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the screen for the doorway at the entrance of the tabernacle;
16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;
17 the hangings of the court with its pillars and bases, and the screen for the gate of the court;
18 the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the court, and their ropes;
19 the woven garments for ministering in the holy place, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests."
20 Then the whole congregation of the children of Israel went out from Moses' presence.
21 Everyone whose heart moved him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought the LORD's contribution for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service and for the sacred garments.
22 Men and women alike came, all whose hearts were willing, bringing brooches, earrings, rings and necklaces, gold objects of every kind; each one presented his gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
23 Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn, fine linen, goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red or goatskins brought them.
24 All who could give silver or bronze brought it as the LORD's contribution, and all who had acacia wood that could be used for any part of the work brought it.
25 Every skilled woman spun with her own hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.
26 And all the women whose hearts moved them and who had the skill spun the goats' hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other stones to be mounted on the ephod and the breastpiece,
28 as well as spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.
29 So the children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the LORD: every man and woman whose heart moved them to bring something for all the work the LORD had commanded through Moses.
30 Then Moses said to the children of Israel, "See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, calling him by name.
31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him wisdom, understanding and knowledge in every kind of craft,
32 to conceive artistic designs and carry them out in gold, silver and bronze,
33 to cut stones for mounting and to carve wood, to do every sort of skilled work.
34 He has also given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35 He has filled them with skill to do every kind of work as engravers, designers and embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers; they can do any work and conceive any design.
