Exodus 35:1-15 ▼

1 Then Moses (drawn out) assembled the whole congregation of Israel (he wrestles with God) and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD {YHWH} has commanded you to do:

2 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your⁺ holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD {YHWH}. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.

3 Do not light a fire in any of your⁺ dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

4 Moses also (drawn out) told the whole congregation of Israel (he wrestles with God), “This is what the LORD {YHWH} has commanded:

5 Take from among you⁺ an offering to the LORD {YHWH}. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;

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

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

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

9 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

10 Let every skilled craftsman among you⁺ come and make everything that the LORD {YHWH} has commanded:

11 the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;

12 the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;

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

14 the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;

15 the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;
