Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death.
3You must not even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath.” Offerings for the Tabernacle3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day."

20So the whole community of Israel left Moses and returned to their tents.20Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses' presence,
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.21and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments.
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.22All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
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.23Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them.
24And all who had silver and bronze objects gave them as a sacred offering to the LORD.

25All the women who were skilled in sewing and spinning prepared blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen cloth.25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun--blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen.
26All the women who were willing used their skills to spin the goat hair into yarn.26And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair.

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.29All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the LORD freewill offerings for all the work the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
30Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The LORD has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.30Then Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

They excel as craftsmen and as designers.35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers--all of them skilled workers and designers.
