Majority Standard Bible
1 Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
2 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
4 Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
5 Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;
6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
7 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
9 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
10 Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
11 the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;
12 the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;
13 the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;
14 the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;
15 the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;
16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;
17 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard;
18 the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes;
19 and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”
20 Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.
21 And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.
22 So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
23 Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.
24 And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.
25 Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.
26 And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,
28 as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29 So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
32 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
34 And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35 He 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 as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.

2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever [is] of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair],
7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12 The ark, and the staves thereof, [with] the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
15 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
16 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
17 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place], the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
20 ¶ And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, [and] brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered [offered] an offering of gold unto the LORD.
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair], and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought [them].
24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought [it].
25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, [both] of blue, and of purple, [and] of scarlet, and of fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' [hair].
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
30 ¶ And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in the cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, [both] he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, [even] of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

5 Offer ye among yourselves an heave offering unto the LORD, that every man may willingly offer the heave offering of the LORD, gold, silver, brass,
6 Yellow silk, scarlet, rose, white silk and goat hair,
7 reddish ram fur, badger fur and pine wood,
8 oil for a lamp, and spices for an ointment, and for good incense,
9 onyx and stones set for the ephod and for the shield.
10 And whosoever he be of you that hath understanding, let him come and do that which the LORD hath commanded:
11 Namely, the tabernacle, with the hut thereof, and the ceiling thereof, and the rafters thereof, and the boards thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the feet thereof;
12 The ark with its poles, the mercy seat and curtain;
13 The table with his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread;
14 The candlestick to shine, and the vessels thereof, and the lamps thereof, and the oil to light;
15 The altar of incense with the staves thereof, and the ointment, and the spices for the incense, and the cloth that is before the door of the tabernacle;
16 And the altar of burnt offering, with the brasen grate thereof, and the staves thereof, and all the vessels thereof; and the censer with the foot thereof;
17 The cloak of the court with its pillars and feet, and the cloth of the gate of the court;
18 the nails of the tabernacle and of the court with their pillars
19 The garments of the ministry for the service of the holy things, the holy garments of Aaron the priest, with the garments of his sons for the priesthood.
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel went out from Moses.
21 And all they that gladly and willingly gave came and brought the heave offering unto the LORD for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
22 And both man and woman, whosoever would, brought harness, and earrings, and rings, and buckles, and all manner of vessels of gold. And every man brought gold for a garment unto the LORD.
23 And whosoever found with him yellow silk, and scarlet, and scarlet, and white silk, and goats' hair, and reddish rams' skins, and badgers' skins, brought them.

27 And the princes brought onyx, and stones set for their ephods, and for their shields.
28 And spices, and oil for lights, and for ointment, and for good incense.
29 So the children of Israel brought willingly, both man and woman, to do all the work which the LORD commanded by Moses to be done.
30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, Behold, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Us, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
31 And hath filled him with the Spirit of God, that he should be wise, and understanding, and able to do all manner of work,
32 to work artificially on gold, silver, and ore,
33 to cut and set precious stone, to carpenter wood, to make all manner of artificial work.
34 And he taught him his heart, and Ahaliab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 He hath filled their hearts with wisdom to make all manner of work, to cut, to work, and to embroider with yellow silk, and scarlet, and purple, and white silk, and with weaving, to make all manner of work, and to invent workmanship.
