Instructions for the Sabbath

Then Moses called together the whole community of Israel and told them, “These are the instructions the LORD has commanded you to follow.

2

You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death.

3

Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

3

You must not even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath.”

20

The People Offer Gifts

And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

20

So the whole community of Israel left Moses and returned to their tents.

21

And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.

21

All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the LORD. They brought all the materials needed for the Tabernacle,a for the performance of its rituals, and for the sacred garments.

22

And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.

22

Both men and women came, all whose hearts were willing. They brought to the LORD their offerings of gold — brooches, earrings, rings from their fingers, and necklaces. They presented gold objects of every kind as a special offering to the LORD.

23

And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.

23

All those who owned the following items willingly brought them: blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth; and tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather.

24

Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.

24

And all who had silver and bronze objects gave them as a sacred offering to the LORD. And those who had acacia wood brought it for use in the project.

25

And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.

25

All the women who were skilled in sewing and spinning prepared blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen cloth.

26

And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.

26

All the women who were willing used their skills to spin the goat hair into yarn.

27

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

27

The leaders brought onyx stones and the special gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

28

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

28

They also brought spices and olive oil for the light, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense.

29

The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

29

So the people of Israel — every man and woman who was eager to help in the work the LORD had given them through Moses — brought their gifts and gave them freely to the LORD.

30

Bezelel and Oholiab

And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

30

Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The LORD has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

31

And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

31

The LORD has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

32

And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

32

He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.

33

And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

33

He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft.

34

And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

34

And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their skills to others.

35

Them hath he filled 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, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

35

The LORD has given them special skills as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers.
