Reglamento del día de reposo

35 Moisés convocó a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel y les dijo: Estas son las cosas que Jehová ha mandado que sean hechas: Seis días se trabajará, mas el día séptimo os será santo, día de reposo[a] para Jehová; cualquiera que en él hiciere trabajo alguno, morirá.(A) No encenderéis fuego en ninguna de vuestras moradas en el día de reposo.[b]

La ofrenda para el tabernáculo

(Ex. 25.1-9)

Y habló Moisés a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Esto es lo que Jehová ha mandado: Tomad de entre vosotros ofrenda para Jehová; todo generoso de corazón la traerá a Jehová; oro, plata, bronce, azul, púrpura, carmesí, lino fino, pelo de cabras, pieles de carneros teñidas de rojo, pieles de tejones, madera de acacia, aceite para el alumbrado, especias para el aceite de la unción y para el incienso aromático, y piedras de ónice y piedras de engaste para el efod y para el pectoral.

La obra del tabernáculo

(Ex. 39.32-43)

10 Todo sabio de corazón de entre vosotros vendrá y hará todas las cosas que Jehová ha mandado: 11 el tabernáculo, su tienda, su cubierta, sus corchetes, sus tablas, sus barras, sus columnas y sus basas; 12 el arca y sus varas, el propiciatorio, el velo de la tienda; 13 la mesa y sus varas, y todos sus utensilios, y el pan de la proposición; 14 el candelero del alumbrado y sus utensilios, sus lámparas, y el aceite para el alumbrado; 15 el altar del incienso y sus varas, el aceite de la unción, el incienso aromático, la cortina de la puerta para la entrada del tabernáculo; 16 el altar del holocausto, su enrejado de bronce y sus varas, y todos sus utensilios, y la fuente con su base; 17 las cortinas del atrio, sus columnas y sus basas, la cortina de la puerta del atrio; 18 las estacas del tabernáculo, y las estacas del atrio y sus cuerdas; 19 las vestiduras del servicio para ministrar en el santuario, las sagradas vestiduras de Aarón el sacerdote, y las vestiduras de sus hijos para servir en el sacerdocio.

El pueblo trae la ofrenda

20 Y salió toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel de delante de Moisés. 21 Y vino todo varón a quien su corazón estimuló, y todo aquel a quien su espíritu le dio voluntad, con ofrenda a Jehová para la obra del tabernáculo de reunión y para toda su obra, y para las sagradas vestiduras. 22 Vinieron así hombres como mujeres, todos los voluntarios de corazón, y trajeron cadenas y zarcillos, anillos y brazaletes y toda clase de joyas de oro; y todos presentaban ofrenda de oro a Jehová. 23 Todo hombre que tenía azul, púrpura, carmesí, lino fino, pelo de cabras, pieles de carneros teñidas de rojo, o pieles de tejones, lo traía. 24 Todo el que ofrecía ofrenda de plata o de bronce traía a Jehová la ofrenda; y todo el que tenía madera de acacia la traía para toda la obra del servicio. 25 Además todas las mujeres sabias de corazón hilaban con sus manos, y traían lo que habían hilado: azul, púrpura, carmesí o lino fino. 26 Y todas las mujeres cuyo corazón las impulsó en sabiduría hilaron pelo de cabra. 27 Los príncipes trajeron piedras de ónice, y las piedras de los engastes para el efod y el pectoral, 28 y las especias aromáticas, y el aceite para el alumbrado, y para el aceite de la unción, y para el incienso aromático. 29 De los hijos de Israel, así hombres como mujeres, todos los que tuvieron corazón voluntario para traer para toda la obra, que Jehová había mandado por medio de Moisés que hiciesen, trajeron ofrenda voluntaria a Jehová.

Llamamiento de Bezaleel y de Aholiab

(Ex. 31.1-11)

30 Y dijo Moisés a los hijos de Israel: Mirad, Jehová ha nombrado a Bezaleel hijo de Uri, hijo de Hur, de la tribu de Judá; 31 y lo ha llenado del Espíritu de Dios, en sabiduría, en inteligencia, en ciencia y en todo arte, 32 para proyectar diseños, para trabajar en oro, en plata y en bronce, 33 y en la talla de piedras de engaste, y en obra de madera, para trabajar en toda labor ingeniosa. 34 Y ha puesto en su corazón el que pueda enseñar, así él como Aholiab hijo de Ahisamac, de la tribu de Dan; 35 y los ha llenado de sabiduría de corazón, para que hagan toda obra de arte y de invención, y de bordado en azul, en púrpura, en carmesí, en lino fino y en telar, para que hagan toda labor, e inventen todo diseño.

Sabbath Regulations

35 Moses assembled the whole community of the Israelites and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do.[a] In six days[b] work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a holy day[c] for you, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord.[d] Anyone who does work on it will be put to death. You must not kindle a fire[e] in any of your homes[f] on the Sabbath day.”[g]

Willing Workers

[h] Moses spoke to the whole community of the Israelites, “This is the word that the Lord has commanded: ‘Take[i] an offering for the Lord. Let everyone who has a willing heart[j] bring[k] an offering to the Lord:[l] gold, silver, bronze; blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen; goats’ hair; ram skins dyed red; fine leather;[m] acacia wood; olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; onyx stones, and other gems[n] for mounting[o] on the ephod and the breastpiece. 10 Every skilled person[p] among you is to come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 the tabernacle with[q] its tent, its covering, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases; 12 the ark, with its poles, the atonement lid, and the special curtain that conceals it; 13 the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence; 14 the lampstand for[r] the light and its accessories, its lamps, and oil for the light; 15 and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; 16 the altar for the burnt offering with its bronze grating that is on it, its poles, and all its utensils; the large basin and its pedestal; 17 the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway to the courtyard; 18 tent pegs for the tabernacle and tent pegs for the courtyard and their ropes; 19 the woven garments for serving in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.’”

20 So the whole community of the Israelites went out from the presence of Moses. 21 Everyone[s] whose heart stirred him to action[t] and everyone whose spirit was willing[u] came and brought the offering for the Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.[v] 22 They came, men and women alike,[w] all who had willing hearts. They brought brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry,[x] and everyone came who waved[y] a wave offering of gold to the Lord.

23 Everyone who had[z] blue, purple, or[aa] scarlet yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair, ram skins dyed red, or fine leather[ab] brought them.[ac] 24 Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as[ad] an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood[ae] for any work of the service brought it.[af] 25 Every woman who was skilled[ag] spun with her hands and brought what she had spun, blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, 26 and all the women whose heart stirred them to action and who were skilled[ah] spun goats’ hair.

27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted[ai] for the ephod and the breastpiece, 28 and spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the Lord through[aj] Moses had commanded them[ak] to do.

30 Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen[al] Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God—with skill, with understanding, with knowledge, and in all kinds of work— 32 to design artistic designs, to work in gold, in silver, and in bronze, 33 and in cutting stones for their setting,[am] and in cutting wood, to do work in every artistic craft.[an] 34 And he has put it in his heart[ao] to teach, he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has filled them with skill[ap] to do all kinds of work[aq] as craftsmen, as designers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and as weavers. They are[ar] craftsmen in all the work[as] and artistic designers.[at]

Footnotes

  1. Exodus 35:1 tn Heb “to do them”; this is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
  2. Exodus 35:2 tn This is an adverbial accusative of time.
  3. Exodus 35:2 tn The word is קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh, “holiness”). S. R. Driver suggests that the word was transposed, and the line should read: “a sabbath of entire rest, holy to Jehovah” (Exodus, 379). But the word may simply be taken as a substitution for “holy day.”
  4. Exodus 35:2 sn See on this H. Routtenberg, “The Laws of the Sabbath: Biblical Sources,” Dor le Dor 6 (1977): 41-43, 99-101, 153-55, 204-6; G. Robinson, “The Idea of Rest in the Old Testament and the Search for the Basic Character of Sabbath,” ZAW 92 (1980): 32-43.
  5. Exodus 35:3 sn Kindling a fire receives special attention here because the people thought that kindling a fire was not work, but only a preparation for some kind of work. The Law makes sure that this too was not done. But see also G. Robinson, “The Prohibition of Strange Fire in Ancient Israel: A Look at the Case of Gathering Wood and Kindling Fire on the Sabbath,” VT 28 (1978): 301-17.
  6. Exodus 35:3 tn Heb “dwelling places”; KJV, ASV “habitations.”
  7. Exodus 35:3 sn The presence of these three verses in this place has raised all kinds of questions. It may be that after the renewal of the covenant the people needed a reminder to obey God, and obeying the sign of the covenant was the starting point. But there is more to it than this; it is part of the narrative design of the book. It is the artistic design that puts the filling of the Spirit section (31:1-11) prior to the Sabbath laws (31:12-18) before the idolatry section, and then after the renewal there is the Sabbath reminder (35:1-3) before the filling of the Spirit material (35:4-36:7).
  8. Exodus 35:4 sn The book now turns to record how all the work of the sanctuary was done. This next unit picks up on the ideas in Exod 31:1-11. But it adds several features. The first part is the instruction of God for all people to give willingly (35:4-19); the next section tells how the faithful brought an offering for the service of the tabernacle (35:20-29); the next section tells how God set some apart with special gifts (35:30-35), and finally, the narrative reports how the faithful people of God enthusiastically began the work (36:1-7).
  9. Exodus 35:5 tn Heb “from with you.”
  10. Exodus 35:5 tn “Heart” is a genitive of specification, clarifying in what way they might be “willing.” The heart refers to their will, their choices.
  11. Exodus 35:5 tn The verb has a suffix that is the direct object, but the suffixed object is qualified by the second accusative: “let him bring it, an offering.”
  12. Exodus 35:5 tn The phrase is literally “the offering of Yahweh”; it could be a simple possessive, “Yahweh’s offering,” but a genitive that indicates the indirect object is more appropriate.
  13. Exodus 35:7 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
  14. Exodus 35:9 tn Heb “and stones.”
  15. Exodus 35:9 tn Heb “filling.”
  16. Exodus 35:10 tn Heb “wise of heart”; here also “heart” would be a genitive of specification, showing that there were those who could make skillful decisions.
  17. Exodus 35:11 tn In Hebrew style all these items are typically connected with a vav (ו) conjunction, but English typically uses commas except between the last two items in a series or between items in a series that are somehow related to one another. The present translation follows contemporary English style in lists such as this.
  18. Exodus 35:14 tn “for” has been supplied.
  19. Exodus 35:21 tn Heb “man.”
  20. Exodus 35:21 tn The verb means “lift up, bear, carry.” Here the subject is “heart” or will, and so the expression describes one moved within to act.
  21. Exodus 35:21 tn Heb “his spirit made him willing.” The verb is used in Scripture for the freewill offering that people brought (Lev 7).
  22. Exodus 35:21 tn Literally “the garments of holiness,” the genitive is the attributive genitive, marking out what type of garments these were.
  23. Exodus 35:22 tn The expression in Hebrew is “men on/after the women,” meaning men with women, to ensure that it was clear that the preceding verse did not mean only men. B. Jacob takes it further, saying that the men came after the women because the latter had taken the initiative (Exodus, 1017).
  24. Exodus 35:22 tn Heb “all gold utensils.”
  25. Exodus 35:22 tn The verb could be translated “offered,” but it is cognate with the following noun that is the wave offering. This sentence underscores the freewill nature of the offerings people made. The word “came” is supplied from v. 21 and v. 22.
  26. Exodus 35:23 tn The text uses a relative clause with a resumptive pronoun for this: “who was found with him,” meaning “with whom was found.”
  27. Exodus 35:23 tn The conjunction in this verse is translated “or” because the sentence does not intend to say that each person had all these things. They brought what they had.
  28. Exodus 35:23 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
  29. Exodus 35:23 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
  30. Exodus 35:24 tn This translation takes “offering” as an adverbial accusative explaining the form or purpose of their bringing things. It could also be treated as the direct object, but that would seem unnecessarily repetitive.
  31. Exodus 35:24 sn U. Cassuto notes that the expression “with whom was found” does not rule out the idea that these folks went out and cut down acacia trees (Exodus, 458). It is unlikely that they had much wood in their tents.
  32. Exodus 35:24 tn Here “it” has been supplied.
  33. Exodus 35:25 tn Heb “wisdom of heart,” which means that they were skilled and could make all the right choices about the work.
  34. Exodus 35:26 tn The text simply uses a prepositional phrase, “with/in wisdom.” It seems to be qualifying “the women” as the relative clause is.
  35. Exodus 35:27 tn Heb “and stones of the filling.”
  36. Exodus 35:29 tn Heb “by the hand of.”
  37. Exodus 35:29 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
  38. Exodus 35:30 tn Heb “called by name” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV). This expression means that the person was specifically chosen for some important task (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 342). See the expression with Cyrus in Isa 45:3-4.
  39. Exodus 35:33 tn Heb “to set.”
  40. Exodus 35:33 tn Heb “in every work of thought,” meaning, every work that required the implementation of design or plan.
  41. Exodus 35:34 sn The expression means that God has given them the ability and the desire to teach others how to do the work. The infinitive construct “to teach” is related to the word Torah, “instruction, guide, law.” They will be able to direct others in the work.
  42. Exodus 35:35 tn The expression “wisdom of heart,” or “wisdom in heart,” means artistic skill. The decisions and plans they make are skilled. The expression forms a second accusative after the verb of filling.
  43. Exodus 35:35 tn The expression “all the work” means “all kinds of work.”
  44. Exodus 35:35 tn Here “They are” has been supplied.
  45. Exodus 35:35 tn Heb “doers of all work.”
  46. Exodus 35:35 tn Heb “designers of designs.”

35 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them.

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.

Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying,

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,

And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

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.
