Exodus 35:1-15 ▼

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

2 For 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.

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

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

5 Take 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;

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

7 ram skins dyed red and manatee skins; acacia wood;

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

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

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

11 the tabernacle—its tent and covering, its clasps and planks, its crossbars, its posts and bases;

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

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

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

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