Gifts for the Meeting Tent

⁴ Moses said to all the people of Israel, “This is what the Lord has told you to do. ⁵ Take from among you a gift to the Lord. Whoever has a willing heart, let him bring the Lord’s gift: gold, silver and brass,

²¹ And every one whose heart or spirit moved him brought the Lord’s gift to be used for the meeting tent, for all its work, and for the holy clothing. ²² Then all the men and women who wanted to give brought objects of gold that had been worn on their clothing, ears, fingers and arms. Every man gave a gift of gold to the Lord. ²³ And every one who had blue, purple and red cloth, fine linen, cloth made from goats’ hair, rams’ skins made red, and badgers’ skins, brought them. ²⁴ Every one who could give a gift of silver or brass brought it as a gift to the Lord. Every one who had acacia wood to be used for the work, brought it. ²⁵ All the able women made cloth with their hands. They brought the blue, purple and red cloth and fine linen they had made. ²⁶ All the able women whose hearts moved them made cloth from goat hair. ²⁷ The leaders brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set for the linen vest and the breast-piece, ²⁸ and the spice and the oil for the light, and the oil for holy use, and for the sweet-smelling perfume. ²⁹ The people of Israel who wanted to brought gifts to the Lord. Every man and woman, whose heart moved them, brought what the Lord had told them through Moses.
