¹Then Moses convened the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, and he said to them, “These are the words which the Lord commanded us to do. ²For six days you shall do work, but on the seventh day you will have a holy Sabbath of sabbatic observance to the Lord. Everyone who does work on it will be put to death. ³You shall not light a fire in any of your dwelling places on the Sabbath day.” ⁴Then Moses spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel and said, “This is what the Lord commanded and said: ⁵‘Take from your company a heave-offering to the Lord; let everyone who is willing in his heart bring it – the Lord's heave-offering – gold and silver and copper, ⁶and blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen and goat's hair, ⁷and rams' skins dyed red and badgers' skins and acacia wood, ⁸and oil for the lamp, and fragrances for anointing oil and for aromatic incense, ⁹and onyx gemstones and set gemstones for the ephod and for the breastplate. ¹⁰And let every skilled man among you come and make everything that the Lord commanded: ¹¹the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its boards, its bolts, its columns and its sockets, ¹²the ark and its poles, the atonement cover and the screening veil, ¹³the table and its poles and all its equipment, and the showbread, ¹⁴the lampstand for illumination and its equipment and its lamps, and the oil for light, ¹⁵and the incense altar and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense, and the screen at the entrance, for the entrance to the tabernacle, ¹⁶the altar for the burnt offering and the copper grate which goes with it, its poles and all its equipment, the laver and its pedestal, ¹⁷the drapes for the courtyard, its columns and its sockets and the screen to the gate of the courtyard, ¹⁸the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the courtyard and their guylines, ¹⁹the garments of office so as to serve in the holy place – the holy garments of Aaron the priest and his sons' garments – so as to officiate as a priest.’ ” ²⁰Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel left Moses' presence, ²¹and every man who so felt moved in his heart and everyone whose spirit so impelled him brought the Lord's heave-offering for the artisanry of the tent of contact and for all its work and for the holy garments. ²²And the men came with the women – everyone who was willing in his heart – and brought a nosering or an earring or a finger-ring or a brooch or any item of gold. And as for every man who made a wave-offering of gold to the Lord, ²³and every man with whom blue, purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goat's hair and rams' skins dyed red and badgers' skins was available, he brought these things. ²⁴Everyone who made a heave-offering of silver or copper brought the Lord's heave-offering, and everyone with whom acacia wood was available for any artisanry in the work brought it. ²⁵And every woman skilled in handiwork spun and brought yarn – the blue and purple and scarlet yarn and the fine linen. ²⁶And all the women who felt moved in their heart with skill spun the goat's hair. ²⁷And the leaders brought the onyx gemstones and the gemstones to be set, for the ephod and the breastplate, ²⁸and the fragrances, and the oil for the lamp, and the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense. ²⁹Every man and woman whose heart impelled them to bring any of the materials which the Lord had commanded to make, through the intermediacy of Moses – all such sons of Israel brought a freewill-offering to the Lord. ³⁰Then Moses said to the sons of Israel, “Look, the Lord has called Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, by name, ³¹and he has filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom and in understanding and in competence, and these in every kind of craftsmanship, ³²and to devise designs to make in gold and in silver and in copper, ³³and in shaping of gemstones to set and in carving wood to use in any craftsmanship by design. ³⁴And he has put it in his heart to teach, in his and in that of Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. ³⁵He has filled them with skill to make all the artisanry – of the engraver and the damask weaver and the embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet material and fine linen, and the weaver – the makers of all the artisanry and the producers of designs.”
