4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Then Moses said to the whole community of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded: |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Take a sacred offering for the LORD. Let those with generous hearts present the following gifts to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze; |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth; |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather; acacia wood; |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8olive oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9onyx stones, and other gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10“Come, all of you who are gifted craftsmen. Construct everything that the LORD has commanded: |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11the Tabernacle and its sacred tent, its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts, and bases; |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12the Ark and its carrying poles; the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement; the inner curtain to shield the Ark; |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13the table, its carrying poles, and all its utensils; the Bread of the Presence; |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14for light, the lampstand, its accessories, the lamp cups, and the olive oil for lighting; |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15the incense altar and its carrying poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the entrance of the Tabernacle; |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16the altar of burnt offering; the bronze grating of the altar and its carrying poles and utensils; the washbasin with its stand; |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17the curtains for the walls of the courtyard; the posts and their bases; the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18the tent pegs of the Tabernacle and courtyard and their ropes; |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19the beautifully stitched garments for the priests to wear while ministering in the Holy Place—the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests.” |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20So the whole community of Israel left Moses and returned to their tents. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21All 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, for the performance of its rituals, and for the sacred garments. |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Both 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23All 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25All the women who were skilled in sewing and spinning prepared blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen cloth. |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26All the women who were willing used their skills to spin the goat hair into yarn. |
27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27The leaders brought onyx stones and the special gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece. |
28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28They also brought spices and olive oil for the light, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense. |
29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29So 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The LORD has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. |
31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31The LORD has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. |
