1And Moses gathered all the Israelites together, and said, “These are the words which the LORD has commanded you to obey. 2Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be to you a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD: whoever does work in it shall be put to death. 3You shall light no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.” 4And Moses spoke to all the Israelite community, “This is what the LORD commanded,5‘Take from among you an offering unto the LORD: whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering to the LORD; gold, silver, or bronze, 6Blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, and goats' hair, 7Rams' skins dyed red, badgers' skins, acacia wood, 8Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, 9Onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate. 10Every skillful man among you shall come, and make all that the LORD has commanded: 11The tabernacle, with its tent and its covering, clasps, boards, bars, pillars, and its sockets, 12The ark, and its staves, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering, 13The table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the showbread, 14The lampstand also for the light, and its furniture, and its lamps, with the oil for the light, 15And the incense altar, and its staves, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle, 16The altar of burnt offering, with its bronze grate, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base, 17The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, 18The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, 19The woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary - service in the holy place, the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and those of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.’” 20And all the congregation of the Israelites departed from the presence of Moses. 21And they came, every one whose heart stirred him, and every one whose spirit made him willing, and they brought the LORD's offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22They came, both men and women, as many as had willing hearts, and brought bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold unto the LORD. 23And every man who had blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair, red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. 24Every one that offered an offering of silver and bronze brought the LORD's offering; and every man, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. 25And all the women that were skilled did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, of blue, purple, scarlet, and of fine linen. 26And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom, spun goats' hair. 27And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; 28And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 29The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded by Moses.to be made 30And Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; 32To design beautifully wrought works, to work in gold, silver, and in bronze, 33And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of skillful work. 34And He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to do all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the skillful craftsman, and the embroiderer, in blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen, and of the weaver, those to do any needed work, and of those that design skillful work.” Reader-Friendly Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2024 by Jim Musser.
