THE BOOK OF EXODUS

 

Exodus Chapter 35

1 ¶ Now Moses gathered the entire congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, These are the things that the LORD has commanded, that you do.

2 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whoever does work on that day shall be put to death.

3 You shall not kindle a fire in any of your homes on the sabbath day.

4 And Moses spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing that the LORD commanded, saying,

5 Take from among you an offering to the LORD: whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring this as the LORD’s offering; gold, and silver, and brass,

6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

7 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and acacia wood,

8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

10 And all who are wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD has commanded;

11 The tabernacle, its tent, and its coverings, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,

12 The ark, and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the curtain for the screen,

13 The table, and its poles, and all its vessels, and the showbread,

14 The candlestick also for the light, and its furniture, and its lamps, with the oil for the light,

15 And the incense altar, and its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance to the tabernacle,

16 The altar of burnt offering, with its brass grate, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand,

17 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,

18 The pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court, with their ropes,

19 The finely woven garments for ministry in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.

20 ¶ Then the entire congregation of the children of Israel left Moses’ presence.

21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him, and every one whose spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD’S offering to be used for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.

22 So they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and necklaces, all jewels of gold: and every man who gave offered an offering of gold to the LORD.

23 And every one, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and ram skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, brought them.

24 Every one who could make an offering of silver and brass brought it as the LORD’S offering: and every man, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.

25 And all the women who were skilled spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

26 And all the women who were willing and skillful spun goats’ hair.

27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

29 So the children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the LORD, every man and woman, bringing whatever their hearts prompted them to bring for the work, which the LORD, through Moses, had commanded to be made.

30 ¶ And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the LORD has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

31 And he has filled him with the spirit of God, with skill, understanding, and knowledge, for every kind of work;

32 To devise artistic designs, working in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft.

34 And he has put it in his heart to teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart, and skill to do all the work, of an engraver, a designer, an embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and a weaver, even of those who do or design any skilled work.
