NEW AMERICAN BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.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.
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 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.
3 You shall not even light a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath day."3 You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day.
4 Moses told the whole Israelite community, "This is what the LORD has commanded:4 And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:
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;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,
6 violet, purple and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;6 Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats' hair,
7 rams' skins dyed red, and tahash skins; acacia wood;7 And rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, setim wood,
8 oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;8 And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet incense.
9 onyx stones and other gems for mounting on the ephod and on the breastpiece.9 Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod and the rational.
10 "Let every expert among you come and make all that the LORD has commanded: the Dwelling,10 Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded:
11 with its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its columns and its pedestals;11 To wit, the tabernacle and the roof thereof, and the cover, the rings, and the board work with the oars, the pillars, and the sockets:
12 the ark, with its poles, the propitiatory, and the curtain veil;12 The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it:
13 the table, with its poles and all its appurtenances, and the showbread;13 The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of proposition:
14 the lampstand, with its appurtenances, the lamps, and the oil for the light;14 The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires:
15 the altar of incense, with its poles; the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; the entrance curtain for the entrance of the Dwelling;15 The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction and the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle:
16 the altar of holocausts, with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its appurtenances; the laver, with its base;16 The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels thereof: the laver and its foot:
17 the hangings of the court, with their columns and pedestals; the curtain for the entrance of the court;17 The curtains of the court with the pillars and the sockets, the hanging in the doors of the entry,
18 the tent pegs for the Dwelling and for the court, with their ropes;18 The pins of the tabernacle and of the court with their little cords:
19 the service cloths for use in the sanctuary; the sacred vestments for Aaron, the priest, and the vestments worn by his sons in their ministry."19 The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the sanctuary, the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do the office of priesthood to me.
20 When the whole Israelite community left Moses' presence,20 And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence 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 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,
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 Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered 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 any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured 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, and setim wood for divers uses.
25 All the women who were expert spinners brought hand-spun violet, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen thread.25 The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
26 All the women who possessed the skill, spun goat hair.26 And goats' hair, giving all of their own accord.
27 The princes brought onyx stones and other gems for mounting on the ephod and on the breastpiece;27 But the princes offered onyx stone, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational,
28 as well as spices, and oil for the light, anointing oil, and fragrant incense.28 And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour.
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 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.
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 children of Israel: Behold the Lord hath called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda.
31 and has filled him with a divine spirit of skill and understanding and knowledge in every craft:31 And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding and knowledge and all learning.
32 in the production of embroidery, in making things of gold, silver or bronze,32 To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,
33 in cutting and mounting precious stones, in carving wood, and in every other craft.33 And in engraving stones, and in carpenters' work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially,
34 He has also given both him and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.34 He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also the son of Achisamech of 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 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.
