1 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.	1 Therefore, when all the multitude of the sons of Israel had gathered together, he said to them: “These are the things that the Lord has ordered to be done:
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.	2 For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, the Sabbath and the rest of the Lord, will be holy to you; whoever will have done any work in it shall be killed.
3 You shall not even light a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath day."	3 You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling places throughout the day of the Sabbath.”
4 Moses told the whole Israelite community, "This is what the LORD has commanded:	4 And Moses said to the entire crowd of the sons of Israel: “This is the word which the Lord has instructed, saying:

20 When the whole Israelite community left Moses' presence,	20 And all the multitude of the sons of Israel, departing from the sight of Moses,
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.	21 offered the first-fruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was needed for worship and for the holy vestments,
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.	22 men along with women provided: arm bands and earrings, rings and bracelets. And every vessel of gold was separated, to be donated to the Lord.
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.	23 If anyone had hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, fine linen and the hair of goats, the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins,
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.	24 metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, along with setim wood for various uses.
25 All the women who were expert spinners brought hand-spun violet, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen thread.	25 But the skillful women also gave whatever they had spun: hyacinth, purple, and vermillion, as well as fine linen,
26 All the women who possessed the skill, spun goat hair.	26 and the hair of goats, donating everything of their own accord.
27 The princes brought onyx stones and other gems for mounting on the ephod and on the breastpiece;	27 Yet truly, the leaders offered onyx stones and gems, for the ephod and the breastplate,
28 as well as spices, and oil for the light, anointing oil, and fragrant incense.	28 and aromatics and oil, to maintain the lights, and to prepare ointment, and also to produce incense with a most sweet odor.
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.	29 All the men and women offered donations with a devout mind, so that the works might be done which the Lord had ordered by the hand of Moses. All the sons of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.
30 Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,	30 And Moses said to the sons of Israel: “Behold, the Lord has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah,
31 and has filled him with a divine spirit of skill and understanding and knowledge in every craft:	31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, and all teaching,
32 in the production of embroidery, in making things of gold, silver or bronze,	32 to design and to fashion, with gold and silver and brass,
33 in cutting and mounting precious stones, in carving wood, and in every other craft.	33 and with engraving stones, and with the skill of a carpenter. Whatever can be skillfully invented,
34 He has also given both him and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.	34 he has given to his heart. It is likewise with Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan.
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.	35 He has taught both of them wisdom, in order to do the work of carpentry, tapestry, and embroidery, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, and every textile, and to discover whatever may be new.”
