The Book of Exodus 35

35 Moses gathered all the Israelites together and said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do. 2 Each week you may work for six days, but on the seventh day, you must rest. It is a sacred day for you, dedicated to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who does any work on the seventh day. 3 Do not light a fire in your homes on the rest days.”

4 Moses also said to all the gathered Israelites, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: 5 Everyone who wants to should bring Yahweh a gift. They should bring these sorts of gifts to Yahweh: gold, silver, or bronze, 6 cloth dyed blue, cloth dyed purple, cloth dyed bright red, fine linen, cloth made from goats’ hair, 7 red ram skins, fine leather hides, hard wood from acacia trees, 8 olive oil to burn in the lamps, spices to put in the olive oil for anointing the priests, and spices to put in the sweet-smelling incense, 9 onyx stones and other expensive stones to fasten to the priest’s sacred apron and to put on the chest pouch that is on the apron.

10 All the skilled workmen among you should come and make all the things that Yahweh has commanded you to make: 11 the sacred tent with the inner tent; its covering, fasteners, frames, crossbars, posts, and bases; 12 the sacred chest with its poles and its lid, the curtain that will separate the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place, 13 the table with the poles for carrying it and all its utensils, the sacred bread to present before God, 14 the lampstand for making light with its implements and lamps, the oil to burn for light, 15 the altar for burning incense and the poles for carrying the altar, the oil for anointing and the sweet-smelling incense, the curtain for the entrance of the sacred tent, 16 the altar for burning sacrifices and its bronze grating, the poles for carrying the altar, and all its implements, the washbasin and its base, 17 the curtains to surround the courtyard and the posts and bases for the posts to support the curtains; the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; 18 the pegs and ropes for the sacred tent and its courtyard, 19 the beautiful, sacred vestments for Aaron and his sons to wear when they work as priests in the Holy Place.”

20 Then all the Israelites left from where they had gathered to listen to Moses. 21 Everyone who wished to bring a gift to Yahweh did so. They brought things to make the sacred tent, all the other items for rituals, and the sacred vestments for the priests. 22 All the men and women who wished to brought necklaces, earrings, rings, gold ornaments—all sorts of things made from gold. Then they lifted them up high to dedicate them to Yahweh. 23 Many people who had blue, purple, or bright red cloth, or fine linen, or cloth made from goats’ hair, or red rams’ skins, or fine leather hides brought some of these things. 24 Everyone who desired to offer silver or bronze gifts brought them to Yahweh. Anyone owning wood from acacia trees brought it for any part of the building work. 25 All the women who were skilled at making cloth brought blue, purple, or red woolen yarn and fine linen thread that they had made by hand-spinning. 26 All the skilled women who wanted to made thread from goats’ hair by spinning. 27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other fine stones for fastening to Aaron’s sacred apron and sacred pouch, 28 and spices and oil to use for the lamps, anointing oil, and sweet-smelling incense. 29 All the Israelite men and women who wanted to bring these things freely offered them to Yahweh for doing the work that he had commanded Moses tell them to do.

30 Moses said to the Israelites, “Listen carefully. Yahweh has chosen a man named Bezalel, son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe descended from Judah. 31 Yahweh has caused his Spirit to teach him to know how to make all kinds of fine goods wisely and intelligently. 32 He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze. 33 He can cut jewels and enclose them in tiny gold settings. He can carve things from wood and do other inventive, skilled work. 34 Yahweh has also made Bezalel and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, from the tribe of Dan, able to teach others what they do. 35 He has enabled them to skillfully do all kinds of crafts-work—those who create artistic things, those who embroider designs using blue, purple, or red woolen yarn with linen cloth, and those who make the cloth. They are able to plan and do many kinds of artistic work.
