Exodus 35:1-9 ▼

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

2 You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a holy day of worship, a day when you don't work. It is dedicated to the LORD. Whoever does any work on this day should be put to death.

3 Never light a fire in any of your homes on this day of worship.|

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

5 Choose something of your own to give as a special contribution to the LORD. Let everyone who is willing bring this kind of contribution to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze,

6 violet, purple, and bright red yarn, fine linen, goats' hair,

7 rams' skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,

8 olive oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense,

9 onyx stones, and other precious stones to be set in the [chief priest's] ephod and breastplate.
