Contributions for the Tabernacle
4Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. 5 aTake from among you a contribution to the Lord. bWhoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; 6blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats’ hair, 7tanned rams’ skins, and goatskins; ▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain; also verse 23; compare 25:5
acacia wood, 8oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 9and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. 10“Let devery skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 ethe tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12 fthe ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the gveil of the screen; 13 hthe table with its poles and all its utensils, and the ibread of the Presence; 14 jthe lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the koil for the light; 15 land the altar of incense, with its poles, mand the anointing oil and the nfragrant incense, and othe screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; 16 pthe altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the qbasin and its stand; 17 rthe hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18 sthe pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their tcords; 19the ufinely worked garments for ministering ▼

in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests.” 20Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 21And they came, weveryone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, xand brought the Lord’s contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22So they came, both men and women. All who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and armlets, all sorts of gold objects, every man dedicating an offering of gold to the Lord. 23And yevery one who possessed zblue or purple or scarlet yarns or fine linen or goats’ hair or tanned rams’ skins or goatskins brought them. 24 aaEveryone who could make a contribution of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord’s contribution. And every one who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work brought it. 25And every abskillful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. 26All the women acwhose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats’ hair. 27And the adleaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastpiece, 28and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29 aeAll the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord.
Construction of the Tabernacle
30 afThen Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with agskill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, 32to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 33in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. 34And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. 35He has ahfilled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.Exodus 36:1-7
1“Bezalel and Oholiab and aievery craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone ajwhose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. 3And they received from Moses all the akcontribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him alfreewill offerings every morning, 4so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, 5and said to Moses, am“The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.” 6So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the ancontribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, 7for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.
