1Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
2For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
4Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
5Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD:
10Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
20Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.
21And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.
22So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
23Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.
24And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.
25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.
26And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.
27The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,
28as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
30Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
32to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
33to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
34And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
