Exodus Chapter 35
Sabbath Regulations
1 Moses gathered the community and said,
“The LORD has commanded these things: 2 ‘You can work for six days, but set the seventh day aside to him as a complete rest. Whoever works on it will be executed. 3 Don’t start a fire in your houses on the Sabbath.’”
Ex 35:1-3
Materials for the Tabernacle
4 Moses told them,
“The LORD has commanded 5 to take an offering for him from everybody that’s willing to contribute:
gold, silver, and bronze;
6 blue, purple, and scarlet material;
fine linen;
goat hair, 7 ram skins dyed red, dolphin skins;
acacia wood;
8 olive oil for lighting,
spices for anointing oil and fragrant incense;
9 onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and chest pouch.
Ex 35:4-9
10‘The artisans need and make everything I’ve commanded:
11the Tabernacle,
its tent and covering,
its hooks and boards,
its bar, posts, and bases;
12 the Ark and its poles;
the mercy seat,
the dividing curtain;
13 the table, its poles, utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;
14the lampstand for the light and its utensils, lamps, and olive oil;
15 the altar of incense, its poles, anointing oil, and fragrant incense;
the curtain across the Tabernacle entrance;
16 the altar for burnt offerings with its bronze grating, poles,
utensils, basin, and stand;
17the curtains for the court,
its posts and bases,
the screen for the entrance to the court;
18 the pegs for the Tabernacle and the court and their cords;
19 the woven vestments for performing service in the Holy Place, the holy vestments for Aaron the priest and his sons.’”
Ex 35:10-19
20 The community left. 21 Everyone whose heart and spirit stirred him brought a contribution for the work on the Tent of Meeting, its service, and holy vestments.
22 Men and women brought brooches, earrings, signet rings, bracelets, and gold articles; and offered them to the LORD.
23 People that had blue, purple, and scarlet material; fine linen; goats’ hair, ram skins dyed red, and dolphin skins brought them.
24 People that could contribute silver or bronze brought it.
Men that had acacia wood brought it for any work of the service.
25-26 Skilled women brought blue, purple, and scarlet material; fine linen, and goats’ hair they’d spun.
27 Rulers brought onyx stones and stones for setting the ephod and chest pouch.
28 They brought spices and olive oil for the light, anointing oil, and fragrant incense.
29 Israelite men and women that were moved to bring material for the work the LORD commanded, brought it to him as a free-will offering.
Ex 35:20-29
Bezalel and Oholiab
30 Moses told the people,
“The LORD has appointed Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur from the tribe of Judah. 31 He has filled him with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and craftsmanship 32 to make designs for working in gold, silver, and bronze; 33 for cutting stones for settings, carving wood, and doing all the creative work. 34 He and Oholiab son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan, are willing to teach these skills. 35 God has given them the skill to engrave, design, embroider, and weave blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine linen. 1 Bezalel, Oholiah, and every person skilled by the LORD are to perform their work as commanded.”
