Sabbath Regulations
1Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded you to do: 2For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. 3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
Materials for the Tabernacle
4Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: 5From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver and bronze; 6blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 7ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather35:7 Possibly the hides of large aquatic mammals; also in verse 23; acacia wood; 8olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
10“All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded: 11the tabernacle with its tent and its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 12the ark with its poles and the atonement cover and the curtain that shields it; 13the table with its poles and all its articles and the bread of the Presence; 14the lampstand that is for light with its accessories, lamps and oil for the light; 15the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle; 16the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the bronze basin with its stand; 17the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; 18the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, and their ropes; 19the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary—both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests.”
20Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses’ presence, 21and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. 22All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord. 23Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them. 24Those presenting an offering of silver or bronze brought it as an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work brought it. 25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun—blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen. 26And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. 27The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. 28They also brought spices and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. 29All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.
Bezalel and Oholiab
30Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 32to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. 34And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. 35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.
安息日的条例
1摩西招聚以色列全体会众，对他们宣布说：“以下是耶和华吩咐你们遵守的事。 2一周可以工作六天，但第七天是你们为耶和华守的圣日，是完全休息的安息日。凡在这一天工作的，必被处死。 3在安息日，你们的任何住处都不可生火。”
为造圣幕奉献
4摩西对以色列全体会众说：“以下是耶和华给你们的吩咐。
5“你们要献物品给耶和华。凡慷慨乐捐的，都可以把下列物品献给耶和华为礼物，即金、银、铜， 6蓝色、紫色和朱红色毛线，细麻，山羊毛， 7染成红色的公羊皮，海狗皮，皂荚木， 8灯油，制作膏油和香的香料， 9镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的红玛瑙及其他宝石。
10“你们当中的能工巧匠都要来建造耶和华所吩咐的物件， 11即圣幕和圣幕的罩棚、顶盖、钩子、木板、横闩、柱子和带凹槽的底座； 12约柜和抬约柜的横杠、施恩座和遮掩约柜的幔子； 13桌子和抬桌子的横杠、桌上的一切器具和供饼； 14灯台和灯台用的器具、灯盏和灯油； 15香坛和抬香坛的横杠、膏油和芬芳的香；圣幕门口的帘子； 16燔祭坛、祭坛的铜网、抬祭坛的横杠、祭坛用的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座； 17院子的帷幔、悬挂幔子的柱子和底座、院子入口的门帘； 18圣幕及院子用的橛子和绳子； 19在圣所供职时穿的精制礼服、亚伦祭司的圣衣及其众子供祭司之职时穿的衣服。”
20之后，以色列全体会众便从摩西面前退去。 21凡心里有感动又甘愿奉献的，都把礼物拿来献给耶和华，作会幕、会幕中的一切器具及圣衣之用。 22凡甘心奉献的，不论男女，都把别针、耳环、戒指、项链等各样金饰拿来献给耶和华。 23凡有蓝色、紫色和朱红色毛线，细麻，山羊毛，染成红色的公羊皮，海狗皮的，都把它们拿来了。 24凡奉献银器和铜器的，都拿来献给耶和华。凡有皂荚木的，只要用得上，都拿来奉献。 25凡善于纺线的妇女，都把亲手纺成的细麻和蓝色、紫色、朱红色毛线拿来奉献。 26凡心里受感动又善于纺织的妇女都来纺山羊毛。 27众首领奉献了红玛瑙和其他宝石，用来镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上。 28他们又献出香料和油，用来做香、点灯、做膏油。 29以色列人，不论男女、凡是甘心乐意奉献的，都把礼物带来献给耶和华，好完成耶和华借摩西吩咐他们的一切工作。
30摩西对以色列人说：“看啊，耶和华已经亲自在犹大支派中选出户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列， 31上帝的灵已经充满他，使他有聪明智慧，精于各种技能和手艺， 32能用金、银和铜制造精巧的器具， 33又能雕刻和镶嵌宝石，精通木工和各种手艺。 34耶和华又使他与但支派亚希撒抹的儿子亚何利亚伯有能力教授别人。 35耶和华使他们成为能工巧匠，精通各样技艺，包括雕刻、图案设计、纺织，以及用细麻和蓝色、紫色、朱红色毛线刺绣。”
