1Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and said to them, "These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

1And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.

2For six days work is to be done, but on the seventh day you are to have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on it must be executed.

2Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

3Do not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day."

3Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

4Then Moses said to the entire Israelite community, "This is what the LORD has commanded:

4And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,

5Take up an offering among you for the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring this as the LORD's offering: gold, silver, and bronze;

5Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,

6blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

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

7ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

7And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

8oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

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

9and onyx with gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece.

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

10"Let all the skilled artisans among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:

10And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;

11the tabernacle--its tent and covering, its clasps and supports, its crossbars, its pillars and bases;

11The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

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

12The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,

13the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

13The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,

14the lampstand for light with its utensils and lamps as well as the oil for the light;

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

15the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the entryway screen for the entrance to the tabernacle;

15And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

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

16The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

17the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and bases, and the screen for the gate of the courtyard;

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

18the tent pegs for the tabernacle and the tent pegs for the courtyard, along with their ropes;

18The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

19and the specially woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary--the holy garments for the priest Aaron and the garments for his sons to serve as priests."

19The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

20Then the entire Israelite community left Moses's presence.

20And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

21Everyone whose heart was moved and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.

21And 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.

22Both men and women came; all who had willing hearts brought brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry--everyone who presented a presentation offering of gold to the LORD.

22And 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.

23Everyone who possessed blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, fine linen or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or fine leather, brought them.

23And 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.

24Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Everyone who possessed acacia wood useful for any task in the work brought it.

24Every 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.

25Every skilled woman spun yarn with her hands and brought it: blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

25And 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.

26And all the women whose hearts were moved spun the goat hair by virtue of their skill.

26And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.

27The leaders brought onyx and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,

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

28as well as the spice and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

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

29So the Israelites brought a freewill offering to the LORD, all the men and women whose hearts prompted them to bring something for all the work that the LORD, through Moses, had commanded to be done.

29The 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.

30Moses then said to the Israelites: "Look, the LORD has appointed by name Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

30And 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;

31He has filled him with God's Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in every kind of craft

31And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

32to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,

32And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

33to cut gemstones for mounting, and to carve wood for work in every kind of artistic craft.

33And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

34He has also given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.

34And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35He has filled them with skill to do all the work of a gem cutter; a designer; an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen; and a weaver. They can do every kind of craft and design artistic designs.

35Them 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.
