Preparation of Materials and People for Building
1 And Moses assembled all the community of the {Israelites}, and he said to them, "These are the words that Yahweh has commanded [for us] to do them.
2
[On] six days work can be done, and on the seventh there will be for you a holy [day], a {Sabbath of complete rest}, for Yahweh; anyone doing work on it will be put to death.
3
You will not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the day of the Sabbath."
4
And Moses said to all the community of the {Israelites}, saying, "This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying,
5
'Take from among you a contribution for Yahweh, anyone willing of heart, let him bring Yahweh's contribution--gold and silver and bronze,
6
and blue and purple and crimson [yarns], and fine linen and goat hair,
7
and red-dyed ram skins, and fine leather, and acacia wood,
8
and oil for the lamp, balsam oils for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,
9
onyx stones and stones for mountings on the ephod and the breast piece.
10
"And let all [the] skilled of heart among you come and make all that Yahweh has commanded:
11
The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering; its clasps and its frames; its bars, its pillars, and its bases;
12
the ark and its poles; the atonement cover and the curtain of the screen;
13
the table and its poles and all its equipment; and the bread of the presence;
14
and lampstand of the light and its equipment and its lamps and the oil for the light;
15
and the altar of incense and its poles; and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense and the entrance curtain for the entrance of the tabernacle;
16
the altar of the burnt offering and the bronze grating that [is] for it, its poles and all its equipment; the basin and its stand;
17
the hangings of the courtyard, its pillars, and its bases, and the screen for the courtyard gate;
18
the {pegs} of the tabernacle and the {pegs} of the courtyard and their cords;
19
the woven garments for serving in the sanctuary--the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to serve as priests."
