Exodus 35
1¶ And Moses gathered all the congregation of the sons of Israel together and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord has commanded that ye should do them.
2Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be holy unto you, a sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does work therein shall die.
3Ye shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4And Moses spoke unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, This is what the Lord commanded, saying,
5Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord; whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord: gold, silver, brass;
6blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair;
7rams’ skins dyed red, badgers’ skins, cedar wood;
8oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for the aromatic incense;
9onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the pectoral.
10And everyone that is wise hearted among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded:
11The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
12the ark and its staves, the seat of reconciliation, and the veil of the tent,
13the table and its staves and all its vessels, and the showbread;
14the lampstand also for the light and its vessels and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
15and the altar of incense and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle,
16the altar of burnt offering with its brasen grate, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
17the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18the stakes of the tabernacle and the stakes of the court, and their cords,
19the clothing of service to minister in the sanctuary, that is, the holy garments of Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to serve in the priesthood.
20¶ And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21And they came, every man whose heart stirred him up, and every one whose spirit made them willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of the testimony and for all his service and for the holy garments.
22And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought chains and earrings, rings and bracelets, and all jewels of gold; and anyone that offered an offering of gold unto the Lord.
23Every man who had blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen or goats’ hair or red skins of rams or badgers’ skins brought them.
24Anyone that offered an offering of silver or brass brought the offering unto the Lord; and every man, with whom was found cedar wood, brought it for all the work of the service.
25And all the women that were wise hearted spun with their hands and brought that which they had spun: blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen.
26And all the women whose heart lifted them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.
27And the princes brought onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the pectoral;
28and aromatic spice and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense.
29Of the sons of Israel, men and women, all that had a willing heart to bring for all the work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses, brought a voluntary offering unto the Lord.
30¶ And Moses said unto the sons of Israel, See, the Lord has named Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in intelligence, in science, and in all manner of workmanship;
32to invent and devise, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,
33and in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
34And he has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35And he has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of work of the engraver and of the cunning workman and of the embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver: that they may do any work, and invent every design.

Exodus 35
35
Laws for the Sabbath
1Moses called together the people of Israel and told them that the LORD had said:
2You have six days in which to do your work. But the seventh day must be dedicated to me, your LORD, as a day of rest. Whoever works on the Sabbath will be put to death.#Ex 20.8-11; 23.12; 31.15; 34.21; Lv 23.3; Dt 5.12-14. 3Don't even build a cooking fire at home on the Sabbath.
Offerings and gifts for the sacred tent and the priestly clothes
Offerings for the sacred tent
(Exodus 25.1-9; 35.10-19)
4Moses told the people of Israel that the LORD had said:
5I would welcome an offering from anyone who wants to give something. You may bring gold, silver, or bronze; 6blue, purple, or red wool; fine linen; goat hair; 7tanned ram skin or fine leather; acacia wood; 8olive oil for the lamp; sweet-smelling spices for the oil of dedication and for the incense; or 9onyx#35.9 onyx: See the note at 25.7. stones or other gems for the sacred apron and breastpiece.
10If you have any skills, you should use them to help make what I have commanded: 11the sacred tent with its covering and hooks, its framework and crossbars, and its post and stands; 12the sacred chest with its carrying poles, its place of mercy, and the curtain in front of it; 13the table with all that goes on it, including the sacred bread; 14the lamp with its equipment and oil; 15the incense altar with its carrying poles and sweet-smelling incense; the ordination oil; the curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent; 16the altar for sacrifices with its bronze grating, its carrying poles, and its equipment; the large bronze bowl with its stand; 17the curtains with the posts and stands that go around the courtyard; 18the pegs and ropes for the tent and the courtyard; 19and the finely woven priestly clothes for Aaron and his sons.
Gifts for the LORD
20Moses finished speaking, and everyone left. 21Then those who wanted to bring gifts to the LORD, brought them to be used for the sacred tent, the worship services, and the priestly clothes. 22Men and women came willingly and gave all kinds of gold jewellery such as pins, earrings, rings, and necklaces. 23Everyone brought their blue, purple, and red wool, their fine linen, and their cloth made of goat hair, as well as their ram skins dyed red and their fine leather. 24Anyone who had silver or bronze or acacia wood brought it as a gift to the LORD.
25The women who were good at weaving cloth brought the blue, purple, and red wool and the fine linen they had made. 26And the women who knew how to make cloth from goat hair were glad to do so.
27The leaders brought different kinds of jewels to be sewn on the special clothes and the breastpiece for the high priest. 28They also brought sweet-smelling spices to be mixed with the incense and olive oil that were for the lamps and for ordaining the priests. 29Moses had told the people what the LORD wanted them to do, and many of them decided to bring their gifts.
Bezalel and Oholiab
(Exodus 31.1-11)
30Moses said to the people of Israel:
The LORD has chosen Bezalel#35.30 Bezalel: See the note at 31.2. of the Judah tribe. 31-33Not only has the LORD filled him with his Spirit, but he has given him wisdom and made him a skilled craftsman who can create objects of art with gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood. 34The LORD is urging him and Oholiab#35.34 Oholiab: Hebrew “Oholiab son of Ahisamach”. from the tribe of Dan to teach others. 35And he has given them all kinds of artistic skills, including the ability to design and embroider with blue, purple, and red wool and to weave fine linen.
