1Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
1And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done.
2For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
2Six days you shall do work: the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath, and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death.
3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
3You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day.
4Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
4And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:
5Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;
5Set aside with you firstfruits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,
6blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
6Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats’ hair,
7ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
7And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, setim wood,
8olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
8And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet incense.
9and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
9Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod and the rational.
10Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
10Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded:
11the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;
11To wit, the tabernacle and the roof thereof, and the cover, the rings, and the board work with the oars, the pillars, and the sockets:
12the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;
12The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it:
13the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;
13The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of proposition:
14the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;
14The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires:
15the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;
15The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction and the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle:
16the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;
16The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels thereof: the laver and its foot:
17the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard;
17The curtains of the court with the pillars and the sockets, the hanging in the doors of the entry,
18the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes;
18The pins of the tabernacle and of the court with their little cords:
19and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”
19The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the sanctuary, the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do the office of priesthood to me.
20Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.
20And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence of Moses,
21And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.
21Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatsoever was necessary to the service, and to the holy vestments,
22So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
22Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.
23Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.
23If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins,
24And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.
24Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses.
25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.
25The skillful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
26And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.
26And goats’ hair, giving all of their own accord.
27The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,
27But the princes offered onyx stone, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational,
28as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
28And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour.
29So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
29All both men and women with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.
30Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
30And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold the Lord hath called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda.
31And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
31And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding and knowledge and all learning.
32to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
32To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,
33to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
33And in engraving stones, and in carpenters’ work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially,
34And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
34He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan:
35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
35Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters’ work and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.
