1And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel , and said unto them , These are the words which Jehovah hath commanded , that ye should do them . 2Six days shall work be done ; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day , a sabbath of solemn rest to Jehovah : whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death . 3Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day . 4And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel , saying , This is the thing which Jehovah commanded , saying , 5Take ye from among you an offering unto Jehovah ; whosoever is of a willing heart , let him bring it , Jehovah ’s offering : gold , and silver , and brass , 6and blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine linen , and goats ’ hair , 7and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood , 8and oil for the light , and spices for the anointing oil , and for the sweet incense , 9and onyx stones, and stones to be set , for the ephod, and for the breastplate .

The Sabbath Observance
20And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses . 21And they came , every one whose heart stirred him up , and every one whom his spirit made willing , and brought Jehovah ’s offering , for the work of the tent of meeting , and for all the service thereof, and for the holy garments. 22And they came , both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches , and ear-rings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold ; even every man that offered an offering of gold unto Jehovah . 23And every man , with whom was found blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine linen , and goats ’ hair , and rams’ skins dyed red , and sealskins, brought them . 24Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought Jehovah ’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 wise-hearted did spin with their hands , and brought that which they had spun , the blue , and the purple , the scarlet , and the fine linen . 26And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats ’ hair . 27And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set , for the ephod, and for the breastplate ; 28and the spice , and the oil ; for the light , and for the anointing oil , and for the sweet incense . 29The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto Jehovah ; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work , which Jehovah had commanded to be made by Moses .
The Response of the People
30And Moses said unto the children of Israel , See , Jehovah hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur , of the tribe of Judah ; 31and he hath filled him with the Spirit of God , in wisdom , in understanding , and in knowledge , and in all manner of workmanship ; 32and to devise skilful works , to work in gold , and in silver , and in brass , 33and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood , to work in all manner of skilful workmanship . 34And he hath put in his heart that he may teach , both he , and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan . 35Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart , to work all manner of workmanship , of the engraver , and of the skilful workman , and of the embroiderer , in blue , and in purple , in scarlet , and in fine linen , and of the weaver , even of them that do any workmanship , and of those that devise skilful works .
