Exodus 35:1–13

The Sabbath Command

¹Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel and said to them, “^aThese are the things that Yahweh has commanded you to ¹do:

²“^aSix days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, ^ba sabbath of complete rest to Yahweh; ^cwhoever does any work on it shall be put to death.

³“^aYou shall not kindle a fire in any of your places of habitation on the sabbath day.”

Willing Hearts Contribute to Yahweh

⁴And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, saying,

⁵‘^aTake from among you a ¹contribution to Yahweh; whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as a ²contribution to Yahweh: gold, silver, and ³bronze,

⁶and ¹blue, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, goats’ hair,

⁷and rams’ skins ¹dyed red, and porpoise skins, and acacia wood,

⁸and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense,

⁹and onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the ¹breastpiece.

¹⁰‘^aAnd let everyone ¹wise at heart among you come and make all that Yahweh has commanded:

¹¹the ^1atabernacle, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;

¹²the ^aark and its poles, the ¹mercy seat, and the curtain of the screen;

¹³the ^atable and its poles, and all its ¹utensils, and the bread of the ²Presence;
