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.
安息日的條例
1摩西招聚以色列全體會眾，對他們宣佈說：「以下是耶和華吩咐你們遵守的事。 2一週可以工作六天，但第七天是你們為耶和華守的聖日，是完全休息的安息日。凡在這一天工作的，必被處死。 3在安息日，你們的任何住處都不可生火。」
為造聖幕奉獻
4摩西對以色列全體會眾說：「以下是耶和華給你們的吩咐。
5「你們要獻物品給耶和華。凡慷慨樂捐的，都可以把下列物品獻給耶和華為禮物，即金、銀、銅， 6藍色、紫色和朱紅色毛線，細麻，山羊毛， 7染成紅色的公羊皮，海狗皮，皂莢木， 8燈油，製作膏油和香的香料， 9鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的紅瑪瑙及其他寶石。
10「你們當中的能工巧匠都要來建造耶和華所吩咐的物件， 11即聖幕和聖幕的罩棚、頂蓋、鉤子、木板、橫閂、柱子和帶凹槽的底座； 12約櫃和抬約櫃的橫槓、施恩座和遮掩約櫃的幔子； 13桌子和抬桌子的橫槓、桌上的一切器具和供餅； 14燈臺和燈臺用的器具、燈盞和燈油； 15香壇和抬香壇的橫槓、膏油和芬芳的香；聖幕門口的簾子； 16燔祭壇、祭壇的銅網、抬祭壇的橫槓、祭壇用的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座； 17院子的帷幔、懸掛幔子的柱子和底座、院子入口的門簾； 18聖幕及院子用的橛子和繩子； 19在聖所供職時穿的精製禮服、亞倫祭司的聖衣及其眾子供祭司之職時穿的衣服。」
20之後，以色列全體會眾便從摩西面前退去。 21凡心裡有感動又甘願奉獻的，都把禮物拿來獻給耶和華，作會幕、會幕中的一切器具及聖衣之用。 22凡甘心奉獻的，不論男女，都把別針、耳環、戒指、項鏈等各樣金飾拿來獻給耶和華。 23凡有藍色、紫色和朱紅色毛線，細麻，山羊毛，染成紅色的公羊皮，海狗皮的，都把它們拿來了。 24凡奉獻銀器和銅器的，都拿來獻給耶和華。凡有皂莢木的，只要用得上，都拿來奉獻。 25凡善於紡線的婦女，都把親手紡成的細麻和藍色、紫色、朱紅色毛線拿來奉獻。 26凡心裡受感動又善於紡織的婦女都來紡山羊毛。 27眾首領奉獻了紅瑪瑙和其他寶石，用來鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上。 28他們又獻出香料和油，用來做香、點燈、做膏油。 29以色列人，不論男女、凡是甘心樂意奉獻的，都把禮物帶來獻給耶和華，好完成耶和華藉摩西吩咐他們的一切工作。
30摩西對以色列人說：「看啊，耶和華已經親自在猶大支派中選出戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列， 31上帝的靈已經充滿他，使他有聰明智慧，精於各種技能和手藝， 32能用金、銀和銅製造精巧的器具， 33又能雕刻和鑲嵌寶石，精通木工和各種手藝。 34耶和華又使他與但支派亞希撒抹的兒子亞何利亞伯有能力教授別人。 35耶和華使他們成為能工巧匠，精通各樣技藝，包括雕刻、圖案設計、紡織，以及用細麻和藍色、紫色、朱紅色毛線刺繡。」
