Exodus 35:1–13

The Sabbath Emphasized

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

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

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

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

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

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‘^aLet every skillful man among you come, and make all that the Lord has commanded:

¹¹the ^1atabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its ²sockets;

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;
