1And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them: 'These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
1Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
2Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death.
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.
3Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.'
3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

20And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
20Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.

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.
25And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.

28and the spice, and the oil, for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
28as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto the LORD; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses to be made.
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.
30And Moses said unto the children of Israel: 'See, the LORD hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
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.
31And He hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.
31And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
32And to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
32to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
33and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skilful workmanship.
33to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
34And He hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
34And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35Them hath He filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the craftsman, and of the skilful workman, and of the weaver in colours, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise skilful works.
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.
