安息日的条例

35 摩西招聚以色列全体会众,对他们宣布说:“以下是耶和华吩咐你们遵守的事。 一周可以工作六天,但第七天是圣日,是你们为耶和华守安息的日子。凡在这一天工作的,必被处死。 在安息日,家家户户都不可生火。”

摩西对以色列全体会众说:“以下是耶和华给你们的吩咐。

“凡慷慨乐捐的,都可以把下列物品献给耶和华为礼物,即金,银,铜, 细麻线,山羊毛,蓝色、紫色和朱红色的线, 染成红色的公羊皮,海狗皮,皂荚木, 灯油,制作膏油和香的香料, 镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的红玛瑙及其他宝石。

10 “你们当中的能工巧匠都要来建造耶和华所吩咐的物件, 11 即圣幕和圣幕的罩棚、顶盖、钩子、木板、横闩、柱子和底座; 12 约柜和抬约柜的横杠、施恩座和遮掩约柜的幔子; 13 桌子和抬桌子的横杠、桌上的一切器具和供饼; 14 灯台和灯台用的器具、灯盏和灯油; 15 香坛和抬香坛的横杠、膏油和芬芳的香;圣幕门口的帘子; 16 燔祭坛、祭坛的铜网、抬祭坛的横杠、祭坛用的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座; 17 院子的帷幔、悬挂幔子的柱子和底座、遮挡院子入口的门帘; 18 圣幕和院子用的橛子和绳索; 19 在圣所供职时穿的精制礼服、亚伦祭司的圣衣及其众子供祭司之职时穿的衣服。”

20 摩西说完后,以色列全体会众便从他面前退去。 21 凡心里有感动又甘愿奉献的,都把礼物拿来献给耶和华,作会幕、会幕中的一切器具及圣衣之用。 22 凡甘心奉献的,不论男女,都把别针、耳环、戒指、项链等各样金饰拿来献给耶和华。 23 凡有细麻线,山羊毛,蓝色、紫色和朱红色的线,染成红色的公羊皮,海狗皮的,都把它们拿来了。 24 凡奉献银器和铜器的,都拿来献给耶和华。凡有皂荚木的,只要用得上,都拿来奉献。 25 凡懂得纺线的妇女,都把亲手纺成的细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线拿来奉献。 26 凡心里受感动又懂得纺织的妇女都来纺山羊毛。 27 众首领奉献了红玛瑙和其他宝石,用来镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上。 28 他们又献出香料和油,用来做香、点灯、做膏油。 29 以色列人,不论男女、凡是甘心乐意奉献的,都把礼物带来献给耶和华,好完成耶和华借摩西吩咐他们的一切工作。

30 摩西对以色列人说:“看啊,耶和华已经亲自选出犹大支派中户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列, 31 上帝的灵已经充满他,使他有聪明智慧,精于各种技能和手艺, 32 懂得用金、银和铜制造各式各样精巧的器具, 33 又能雕刻和镶嵌宝石,精通木工和各种手艺。 34 耶和华又使他与但支派亚希撒抹的儿子亚何利亚伯有能力教授别人。 35 耶和华使他们成为能工巧匠,精通各样技艺,包括雕刻、图案设计、纺织以及用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线刺绣。”

Sabbath Regulations

35 Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, (A)“These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do. (B)For six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. (C)You shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day.”

Contributions for the Tabernacle

Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. (D)Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. (E)Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats' hair, tanned rams' skins, and goatskins;[a] acacia wood, oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.

10 “Let (F)every skilful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 (G)the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12 (H)the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the (I)veil of the screen; 13 (J)the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the (K)bread of the Presence; 14 (L)the lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the (M)oil for the light; 15 (N)and the altar of incense, with its poles, (O)and the anointing oil and the (P)fragrant incense, and (Q)the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; 16 (R)the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the (S)basin and its stand; 17 (T)the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18 (U)the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their (V)cords; 19 the (W)finely worked garments for ministering[b] in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests.”

20 Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 21 And they came, (X)everyone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, (Y)and brought the Lord's contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22 So 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. 23 And (Z)everyone who possessed (AA)blue or purple or scarlet yarns or fine linen or goats' hair or tanned rams' skins or goatskins brought them. 24 (AB)Everyone who could make a contribution of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord's contribution. And everyone who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work brought it. 25 And every (AC)skilful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. 26 All the women (AD)whose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats' hair. 27 And the (AE)leaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastpiece, 28 and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29 (AF)All 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 (AG)Then 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; 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with (AH)skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, 32 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 33 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. 34 And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has (AI)filled 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.

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.
