24:1He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.24:2Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."
24:3Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."
24:4Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.24:5He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.24:6Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.24:7He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient."
24:8Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."
24:9Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.24:10They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work ofsapphirestone, like the skies for clearness.24:11He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
24:12Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."
24:13Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.24:14He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."
24:15Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.24:16The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.24:17The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.24:18Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
25:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,25:2"Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me.

29:10"You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.29:11You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.29:12You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.29:13You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.29:14But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.
29:15"You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.29:16You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.29:17You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.29:18You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
29:19"You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.29:20Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.29:21You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.29:22Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),29:23and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.29:24You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.29:25You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
29:26"You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion.29:27You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:29:28and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.
29:29"The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.29:30Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.
29:31"You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.29:32Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.29:33They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.29:34If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
29:35"You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.29:36Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.29:37Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.
29:38"Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.29:39The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:29:40and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.29:41The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.29:42It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.29:43There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.29:44I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office.29:45I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.29:46They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Yahweh their God.
30:1"You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.30:2Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.30:3You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.30:4You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.30:5You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.30:6You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.30:7Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.30:8When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.30:9You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.30:10Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."
30:11Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,30:12"When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.30:13They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.30:14Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.30:15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.30:16You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."
30:17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,30:18"You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.30:19Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.30:20When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.30:21So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."
30:22Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,30:23"Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;30:24and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.30:25You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.30:26You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,30:27the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,30:28the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.30:29You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.30:30You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.30:31You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.30:32It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.30:33Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"
30:34Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;30:35and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:30:36and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.30:37The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.30:38Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
31:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,31:2"Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:31:3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,31:4to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,31:5and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.31:6I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:31:7the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,31:8the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,31:9the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,31:10the finely worked garments--the holy garments for Aaron the priest--the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office,31:11the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do."
31:12Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,31:13"Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, 'Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.31:14You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.31:15Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.31:16Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.31:17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.'"
31:18He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God's finger.
32:1When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him."
32:2Aaron said to them, "Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me."
32:3All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.32:4He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, "These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."
32:5When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh."
32:6They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
32:7Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!32:8They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'"
32:9Yahweh said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.32:10Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation."
32:11Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, "Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?32:12Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'He brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?' Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.32:13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.'"
32:14Yahweh repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.
32:15Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.32:16The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.
32:17When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is the noise of war in the camp."
32:18He said, "It isn't the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear."32:19It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.32:20He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
32:21Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?"
32:22Aaron said, "Don't let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.32:23For they said to me, 'Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him.'32:24I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:' so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."
32:25When Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies),32:26then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me!"
All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.32:27He said to them, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'"32:28The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.32:29Moses said, "Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day."
32:30It happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin."
32:31Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.32:32Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written."
32:33Yahweh said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.32:34Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."32:35Yahweh struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
33:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your seed.'33:2I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:33:3to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."
33:4When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
33:5Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.'"
33:6The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
33:7Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The Tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.33:8It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.33:9It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.33:10All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.33:11Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the Tent.
33:12Moses said to Yahweh, "Behold, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'33:13Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."
33:14He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
33:15He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, don't carry us up from here.33:16For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?"
33:17Yahweh said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."
33:18He said, "Please show me your glory."
33:19He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."33:20He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."33:21Yahweh also said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.33:22It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;33:23then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
34:1Yahweh said to Moses, "Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.34:2Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.34:3No one shall come up with you; neither let anyone be seen throughout all the mountain; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mountain."
34:4He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.34:5Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Yahweh.34:6Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,34:7keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."
34:8Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.34:9He said, "If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us; although this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance."
34:10He said, "Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.34:11Observe that which I command you this day. Behold, I drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.34:12Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you:34:13but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim;34:14for you shall worship no other god: for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.34:15Don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;34:16and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.34:17You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.
34:18"You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.34:19All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.34:20The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. No one shall appear before me empty.
34:21"Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.34:22You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year's end.34:23Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.34:24For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times in the year.
34:25"You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left to the morning.34:26You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk."
34:27Yahweh said to Moses, "Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."
34:28He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
34:29It happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain, that Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.34:30When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.34:31Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.34:32Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all of the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.34:33When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.34:34But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.34:35The children of Israel saw Moses' face, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
35:1Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, "These are the words which Yahweh has commanded, that you should do them.35:2'Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to Yahweh: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death.35:3You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.'"
35:4Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which Yahweh commanded, saying,35:5'Take from among you an offering to Yahweh. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, Yahweh's offering: gold, silver, brass,35:6blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair,35:7rams' skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,35:8oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,35:9onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
35:10"'Let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that Yahweh has commanded:35:11the tent, its outer covering, its roof, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;35:12the ark, and its poles, the mercy seat, the veil of the screen;35:13the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the show bread;35:14the lampstand also for the light, with its vessels, its lamps, and the oil for the light;35:15and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door, at the door of the tent;35:16the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of brass, it poles, and all its vessels, the basin and its base;35:17the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;35:18the pins of the tent, the pins of the court, and their cords;35:19the finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.'"
35:20All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.35:21They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought Yahweh's offering, for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all of its service, and for the holy garments.35:22They came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, earrings, signet rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man who offered an offering of gold to Yahweh.35:23Everyone, with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them.35:24Everyone who did offer an offering of silver and brass brought Yahweh's offering; and everyone, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.35:25All the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.35:26All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.35:27The rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastplate;35:28and the spice, and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.35:29The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to Yahweh; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Yahweh had commanded to be made by Moses.
35:30Moses said to the children of Israel, "Behold, Yahweh has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.35:31He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;35:32and to make skillful works, to work in gold, in silver, in brass,35:33in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship.35:34He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.35:35He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.
36:1"Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yahweh has commanded."
36:2Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:36:3and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.36:4All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.36:5They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."
36:6Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing.36:7For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
