Rules for the Sabbath Day
1Moses gathered the whole community of Israel together. He said to them, “Here are the things the Lord has commanded you to do. 2You must do your work in six days. But the seventh day will be your holy day. It will be a day of sabbath rest to honor the Lord. You must rest on it. Anyone who does any work on it must be put to death. 3Do not even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”
Supplies for the Holy Tent
4Moses spoke to the whole community of Israel. He said, “Here is what the Lord has commanded. 5Take an offering for the Lord from what you have. Those who want to can bring an offering to the Lord. Here is what they can bring.
“gold, silver and bronze
6blue, purple and bright red yarn and fine linen

7ram skins that are dyed red
another kind of strong leather
acacia wood
8olive oil for the lights
spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense
9onyx stones and other jewels for the linen apron and the chest cloth
10“All the skilled workers among you must come. They must make everything the Lord has commanded 11for the holy tent and its covering. Here is what they must make.
“hooks, frames, crossbars, posts and bases
12the ark of the covenant law, the poles and cover for the ark, and the curtain that hides the ark
13the table for the holy bread, the poles and all the things for the table, and the holy bread

18the ropes and tent stakes for the holy tent and for the courtyard
19and the sacred clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons when they serve as priests”
20Then the whole community of Israel left Moses. 21Everyone who wanted to give offerings to the Lord brought them to him. The offerings were for the work on the tent of meeting. They were also for the sacred clothes and for any other purpose at the tent. 22Every man and woman who wanted to give came. They brought gold jewelry of all kinds. They brought pins, earrings, rings and other jewelry. All of them gave their gold as a wave offering to the Lord. 23People brought what they had. They brought blue, purple or bright red yarn or fine linen. They brought goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or the other kind of strong leather. 24Some brought silver or bronze as an offering to the Lord. Others brought acacia wood for any part of the work. 25All the skilled women spun yarn with their hands. They brought blue, purple or bright red yarn or fine linen. 26All the skilled women who wanted to spin the goat hair did so. 27The leaders brought onyx stones and other jewels for the linen apron and the chest cloth. 28They also brought spices and olive oil. They brought them for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet-smelling incense. 29All the men and women of Israel who wanted to bring offerings to the Lord brought them to him. The offerings were for all the work the Lord had commanded Moses to tell them to do.
Bezalel and Oholiab
30Then Moses spoke to the people of Israel. He said, “The Lord has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri. Uri is the son of Hur. Bezalel is from the tribe of Judah. 31The Lord has filled him with the Spirit of God. He has filled him with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skill. 32Bezalel can make beautiful patterns in gold, silver and bronze. 33He can cut and set stones. He can work with wood. In fact, he can work in all kinds of arts and crafts. 34And the Lord has given both him and Oholiab the ability to teach others. Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak, is from the tribe of Dan. 35The Lord has filled Bezalel and Oholiab with skill to do all kinds of work. They can carve things and make patterns. They can sew skillfully with blue, purple and bright red yarn and on fine linen. They use thread to make beautiful cloth. Both of them have the skill to work in all kinds of crafts.
