Psalms 5

NEW JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Moses assembled the whole community of Israelites and said, 'These are the things Yahweh hasordered 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 Work must be done for six days, but the seventh must be a holy day for you, a day of complete rest, inhonour of Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on that day wil 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 will not light a fire on the Sabbath day in any of your homes.'	3 You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling places throughout the day of the Sabbath.”
4 Moses spoke to the whole community of Israelites. 'This', he said, 'is what Yahweh has ordered:	4 And Moses said to the entire crowd of the sons of Israel: “This is the word which the Lord has instructed, saying:
5 Set aside a contribution for Yahweh out of your possessions. Everyone whose heart prompts him to doso should bring a contribution for Yahweh: gold, silver and bronze;	5 Separate from among you the first-fruits to the Lord. Let all who are willing and have a ready soul offer these to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,
6 materials dyed violet-purple, red-purple and crimson, finely woven linen, goats' hair,	6 hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,
7 rams' skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood,	7 and the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins, setim wood,
8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;	8 and oil to prepare lights and to produce ointment, and most sweet incense,
9 cornelian and other stones to be set in the ephod and breastplate.	9 onyx stones and gems, to adorn the ephod and the breastplate.
10 And al those of you who have the skil must come and make everything that Yahweh has ordered:	10 And whoever among you is wise, let him come and make what the Lord has commanded:
11 the Dwel ing, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its frames, its crossbars, its pillars and itssockets;	11 the tabernacle, certainly, and its roof, and also the covering, the rings, and the panels with the bars, the tent pegs and the bases,
12 the ark, its shafts and al its accessories, the mercy-seat and the screening curtain;	12 the ark and its bars, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it,
13 the table, its shafts and al its accessories, and the loaves of permanent offering;	13 the table with its bars and vessels, and the bread of the presence,
14 the lamp-stand for the light, its accessories, its lamps, and the oil for the light;	14 the lampstand to hold up the lights, its vessels and lamps, and the oil to the nourish the fire,
15 the altar of incense and its shafts, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the screen for theentrance, for the entrance of the tent;	15 the altar of incense and its bars, and the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics, the tent at the door of the tabernacle,
16 the altar of burnt offerings and its bronze grating, its shafts, and all its accessories; the basin and itsstand;	16 the altar of holocaust and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels, the washtub and its base,
17 the curtaining for the court, its poles, its sockets, and the screen for the entrance to the court;	17 the curtains of the atrium, with the columns and the bases, the hanging at the doors of the vestibule,
18 the pegs for the Dwel ing and the pegs for the court, and their cords;	18 the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium, with their little cords,
19 the liturgical vestments for service in the sanctuary -- the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest, andthe vestments for his sons, for their priestly functions.'	19 the vestments, which are to be used in the ministry of the Sanctuary, the vestments of Aaron, the high priest, as well as those of his sons, in order to exercise the priesthood to me.”
20 The whole community of Israelites then withdrew from Moses' presence.	20 And all the multitude of the sons of Israel, departing from the sight of Moses,
21 And al those whose heart stirred them and al those whose spirit prompted them brought acontribution for Yahweh, for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for its general service and for the sacredvestments.	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 Men and women, they came, al those whose heart prompted them, bringing brooches, rings,bracelets, necklaces, golden objects of every kind -- all those who had vowed gold to Yahweh,	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 while al those who happened to own violet-purple, red-purple or crimson materials, finely wovenlinen, goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, or fine leather, brought that.	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 Al those offering a contribution of silver or bronze brought their contribution for Yahweh and al whohappened to own acacia wood, suitable for any of the work to be done, brought that.	24 metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, along with setim wood for various uses.
25 Al the skil ed women set their hands to spinning, and brought what they had spun: violet-purple, red-purple or crimson materials, and fine linen,	25 But the skillful women also gave whatever they had spun: hyacinth, purple, and vermillion, as well as fine linen,
26 while al those women whose heart stirred them by virtue of their skil , spun goats' hair.	26 and the hair of goats, donating everything of their own accord.
27 The leaders brought cornelians and other stones to be set in the ephod and breastplate,	27 Yet truly, the leaders offered onyx stones and gems, for the ephod and the breastplate,
28 and the spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil and for the 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 Al those Israelites, men and women, whose heart prompted them to contribute to the entire work thatYahweh had ordered through Moses to be done, brought a contribution to Yahweh.	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 then said to the Israelites, 'Look, Yahweh has singled out Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of thetribe 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 the spirit of God in wisdom, knowledge and skil in every kind of craft:	31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, and all teaching,
32 in designing and carrying out work in gold and silver and bronze,	32 to design and to fashion, with gold and silver and brass,
33 in cutting stones to be set, in wood carving and in executing every kind of work.	33 and with engraving stones, and with the skill of a carpenter. Whatever can be skillfully invented,
34 And on him and on Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, he has bestowed the gift ofteaching,	34 he has given to his heart. It is likewise with Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan.
35 and filled them with the skill to carry out every kind of work, that of the engraver, that of theembroiderer, that of the needleworker in violet-purple, red-purple and crimson materials and fine linen, that of theweaver, and indeed that of every kind of craftsman and designer.'	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.”
