Exodus 35

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done.	1 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.
2 Six days you shall do work: the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath, and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death.	2 On six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be sacred to you as the sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on that day shall be put to death.
3 You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day.	3 You shall not even light a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath day."
4 And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:	4 Moses told the whole Israelite community, "This is what the LORD has commanded:
5 Set aside with you firstfuits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,	5 Take up among you a collection for the LORD. Everyone, as his heart prompts him, shall bring, as a contribution to the LORD, gold, silver and bronze;

20 And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence of Moses,	20 When the whole Israelite community left Moses' presence,
21 Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatsoever was necessary to the service, and to the holy vestments,	21 everyone, as his heart suggested and his spirit prompted, brought a contribution to the LORD for the construction of the meeting tent, for all its services, and for the sacred vestments.
22 Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.	22 Both the men and the women, all as their heart prompted them, brought brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces and various other gold articles. Everyone who could presented an offering of gold to the LORD.
23 If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins,	23 Everyone who happened to have violet, purple or scarlet yarn, fine linen or goat hair, rams' skins dyed red or tahash skins, brought them.
24 Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses.	24 Whoever could make a contribution of silver or bronze offered it to the LORD; and everyone who happened to have acacia wood for any part of the work, brought it.
25 The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,	25 All the women who were expert spinners brought hand-spun violet, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen thread.
26 And goats' hair, giving all of their own accord.	26 All the women who possessed the skill, spun goat hair.
27 But the princes offered onyx stone, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational,	27 The princes brought onyx stones and other gems for mounting on the ephod and on the breastpiece;
28 And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour.	28 as well as spices, and oil for the light, anointing oil, and fragrant incense.
29 All both men and women with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.	29 Every Israelite man and woman brought to the LORD such voluntary offerings as they thought best, for the various kinds of work which the LORD had commanded Moses to have done.
30 And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold the Lord hath called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda.	30 Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
31 And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding and knowledge and all learning.	31 and has filled him with a divine spirit of skill and understanding and knowledge in every craft:
32 To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,	32 in the production of embroidery, in making things of gold, silver or bronze,
33 And in engraving stones, and in carpenters' work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially,	33 in cutting and mounting precious stones, in carving wood, and in every other craft.
34 He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan:	34 He has also given both him and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35 Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters' work and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.	35 He has endowed them with skill to execute all types of work: engraving, embroidering, the making of variegated cloth of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen thread, weaving, and all other arts and crafts.
