Exodus 35
35
Laws for the Sabbath
1Moses called together the people of Israel and told them that the Lord had said:
2 #
Ex 20.8-11; 23.12; 31.14,15; 34.21; Lv 23.3; Dt 5.12-14. You 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. 3Don't even build a cooking fire at home on the Sabbath.
Offerings for the Sacred Tent
(Exodus 25.1-9; 35.10-19)
4Moses told the people of Israel that the Lord had said:
5I will 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 vest 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 its carrying poles and 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 and the curtain at the entrance; 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 jewelry 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, precious stones, 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.

Exodus 35
35
1And Moses assembleth all the company of the sons of Israel, and saith unto them, ‘These [are] the things which Jehovah hath commanded — to do them:
2Six days is work done, and on the seventh day there is to you a holy [day], a sabbath of rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in it is put to death;
3ye do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day.’
4And Moses speaketh unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
5Take ye from among you a heave-offering to Jehovah; every one whose heart [is] willing doth bring it, — the heave-offering of Jehovah, — gold, and silver, and brass,
6and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' [hair],
7and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice perfume,
9and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
10‘And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all that Jehovah hath commanded:
11‘The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
12‘The ark and its staves, the mercy-seat, and the vail of the covering,
13‘The table and its staves, and all its vessels, and the bread of the presence,
14‘And the candlestick for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,
15‘And the altar of perfume, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the spice perfume, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the tabernacle,
16‘The altar of burnt-offering and the brazen grate which it hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
17‘The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court,
18‘The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19‘The coloured garments, to do service in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to act as priest in.’
20And all the company of the sons of Israel go out from the presence of Moses,
21and they come in — every man whom his heart hath lifted up, and every one whom his spirit hath made willing — they have brought in the heave-offering of Jehovah for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
22And they come in — the men with the women — every willing-hearted one — they have brought in nose-ring, and ear-ring, and seal-ring, and necklace, all golden goods, even every one who hath waved a wave-offering of gold to Jehovah.
23And every man with whom hath been found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats' [hair], and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, have brought [them] in;
24every one lifting up a heave-offering of silver and brass have brought in the heaveoffering of Jehovah; and every one with whom hath been found shittim wood for any work of the service brought [it] in.
25And every wise-hearted woman hath spun with her hands, and they bring in yarn, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the linen;
26and all the women whose heart hath lifted them up in wisdom, have spun the goats' [hair].
27And the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate,
28and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the spice perfume;
29every man and woman (whom their heart hath made willing to bring in for all the work which Jehovah commanded to be done by the hand of Moses) [of] the sons of Israel brought in a willing-offering to Jehovah.
30And Moses saith unto the sons of Israel, ‘See, Jehovah hath called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
31and He doth fill him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
32even to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33and in graving of stones for settings, and in graving of wood to work in any work of design.
34‘And to direct He hath put in his heart, he and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;
35He hath filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work, of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer (in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in linen), and weaver, who do any work, and of designers of designs.
