Exodus 35
GOD’S WORD Translation
Rules about the Day of Rest
35 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a holy day of rest, a day when you don’t work. It is dedicated to the Lord. Whoever does any work on this day should be put to death. 3 Never light a fire in any of your homes on this day of rest.”
The People Contribute Their Wealth(A)
4 Then Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: 5 Choose something of your own to give as a special contribution to the Lord. Let everyone who is willing bring this kind of contribution to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze, 6 violet, purple, and bright red yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair, 7 rams’ skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood, 8 olive oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense, 9 onyx stones, and other precious stones to be set in the ⌞chief priest’s⌟ ephod [a] and breastplate.
The Craftsmen for the Tent(B)
10 “Have all the skilled craftsmen among you come and make everything the Lord has commanded: 11 the inner tent, the outer tent, and cover, along with the fasteners, frames, crossbars, posts, and sockets, 12 the ark with its poles, the throne of mercy and the canopy over it, 13 the table with its poles, all the dishes, the bread of the presence, 14 the lamp stand used for the light with its utensils, its lamps and the olive oil for the lamps, 15 the altar for incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet-smelling incense, the screen for the entrance to the tent, 16 the altar for burnt offerings with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its accessories, the basin with its stand, 17 the curtains for the courtyard, the posts, bases, and the screen for the entrance to the courtyard, 18 the pegs for the tent and the courtyard with their ropes, 19 the special clothes worn for official duties in the holy place—both the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons when they serve as priests.”
20 Then the whole Israelite community left Moses. 21 Those who were willing and whose hearts moved them came and brought their contributions to the Lord. The gifts were used to construct the tent of meeting, to pay other expenses, and to make the holy clothes. 22 All who were willing—men and women alike—came and brought all kinds of gold jewelry: pins, earrings, signet rings, and pendants. They took these gifts of gold and offered them to the Lord. 23 Those who had violet, purple, or bright red yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, or fine leather brought them. 24 Those who could give silver or bronze brought it as their contribution to the Lord. Those who had acacia wood that could be used in the construction brought it. 25 All the women who were skilled in spinning yarn brought violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine linen, which they had made by hand. 26 All the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goats’ hair. 27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other precious stones to be set in the ⌞chief priest’s⌟ ephod and breastplate. 28 They also brought the spices and the olive oil for the lamps, the anointing oil, and the sweet-smelling incense. 29 Every Israelite man and woman who was willing brought all these items to the Lord as a freewill offering. They brought these items to be used to make everything the Lord had commanded through Moses.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “The Lord has chosen Bezalel, son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah. 31 The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, making him highly skilled, resourceful, and knowledgeable in all trades. 32 He’s a master artist familiar with gold, silver, and bronze. 33 He knows how to cut and set stones and how to work with wood. He’s an expert in all trades. 34 Also, the Lord has given Bezalel and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan the ability to teach others. 35 The Lord has made these men highly skilled in all trades. They can do the work of jewelers, carpenters, and designers. They know how to embroider violet, purple and bright red yarn on fine linen. They know how to weave yarn on a loom. They can do all kinds of trades. They are master artists.”

2 Mose 35
Schlachter 1951
Das Sabbatgebot wiederholt
35 Und Mose versammelte die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel und sprach zu ihnen: Das sind die Worte, die der Herr geboten hat, daß ihr sie tun sollt: 2 Sechs Tage soll gearbeitet werden, aber der siebente Tag soll euch heilig sein, zu feiern die Sabbatruhe des Herrn. Wer da Arbeit verrichtet, der soll sterben. 3 Am Sabbattag sollt ihr in allen euren Wohnungen kein Feuer anzünden!
Gaben für den Bau der Stiftshütte
4 Mose redete weiter mit der ganzen Gemeinde der Kinder Israel und sprach: Das ist's, was der Herr geboten hat: 5 Bringt aus eurer Mitte Gaben für den Herrn; jeder, den sein Herz dazu treibt, der soll sie bringen, die Gabe des Herrn, nämlich Gold, Silber und Erz, 6 Stoffe von blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesinfarbe, feine weiße Baumwolle und Ziegenhaare, 7 rötliche Widderfelle, Seehundsfelle und Akazienholz, 8 und Öl zum Leuchter und Spezerei zum Salböl und zu gutem Räucherwerk, 9 Schohamsteine und Steine zum Besatz für das Ephod und das Brustschild.
10 Und wer unter euch weisen Herzens ist, der komme und mache, was der Herr geboten hat: 11 Die Wohnung mit ihrer Hütte, ihre Decke, ihre Bretter, ihre Riegel, ihre Säulen und ihre Füße; 12 die Lade mit ihren Stangen, den Sühndeckel und den Vorhang; 13 den Tisch mit seinen Stangen und allem seinem Gerät und die Schaubrote; 14 den Leuchter zur Beleuchtung samt seinen Geräten und Lampen und das Öl des Leuchters; 15 den Räucheraltar mit seinen Stangen, das Salböl und die Spezerei zum Räucherwerk, den Vorhang der Tür beim Eingang der Wohnung; 16 den Brandopferaltar mit seinem ehernen Gitter, mit seinen Stangen und allem seinem Gerät, das Becken mit seinem Fuß; 17 die Vorhänge des Vorhofs mit seinen Säulen und Füßen, und den Vorhang des Tors am Vorhof; 18 die Nägel der Wohnung und des Vorhofs mit ihren Seilen; 19 die Amtskleider zum Dienst im Heiligtum, die heiligen Kleider Aarons, des Priesters, und die Kleider seiner Söhne zum Priestertum.
20 Da ging die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel von Mose hinweg.
21 Und ein jeder, dessen Geist willig war, kam und brachte dem Herrn Gaben für das Werk der Stiftshütte und all ihren Dienst und für die heiligen Kleider. 22 Es kamen aber die Männer samt den Frauen, alle die willigen Herzens waren, und brachten Nasenringe, Ohrringe, Fingerringe, Armbänder und allerlei goldene Geräte; alle, die dem Herrn Gold zum Webopfer brachten. 23 Und wer bei sich Stoffe fand von blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesinfarbe, feine weiße Baumwolle, Ziegenhaare, rötliche Widderfelle und Seehundsfelle, der brachte es. 24 Und wer Silber und Erz hatte, der brachte es dem Herrn zum Hebopfer. Und wer Akazienholz bei sich fand, der brachte es zu allerlei Werk des Dienstes. 25 Und alle Frauen, die weisen Herzens waren, spannen mit ihren Händen und brachten das Gesponnene, Stoffe von blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesinfarbe und von feiner weißer Baumwolle. 26 Und die Frauen, die ihr Herz dazu trieb und welche verständigen Sinnes waren, die spannen Ziegenhaare. 27 Die Fürsten aber brachten Schohamsteine und eingefaßte Steine zum Brustschild, 28 und Spezerei und Öl für den Leuchter und für das Salböl und zu gutem Räucherwerk.
29 So brachten die Kinder Israel alle Männer und Frauen, die willigen Herzens waren zu allerlei Werk beizutragen, das der Herr durch Mose zu machen befohlen hatte dem Herrn freiwillige Gaben.
Die kunstfertigen Werkleute
30 Da sprach Mose zu den Kindern Israel: Seht, der Herr hat mit Namen berufen Bezaleel, den Sohn Uris, des Sohnes Hurs, vom Stamm Juda. 31 Und der Geist Gottes hat ihn erfüllt mit Weisheit, Verstand und Geschicklichkeit für allerhand Arbeit; 32 auch daß er kunstreiche Arbeit erfinden kann zur Ausführung in Gold, Silber und Erz; 33 im Schneiden und Einsetzen der Edelsteine, im Zimmern des Holzes, um allerlei kunstvolle Arbeit zu machen. 34 Auch hat er ihm ins Herz gegeben, daß er unterweisen kann; er und Oholiab, der Sohn Ahisamachs, vom Stamm Dan. 35 Er hat sie mit weisen Herzen erfüllt, zu machen allerlei Werk eines Künstlers und Erfinders und Buntwirkers in Stoffen von blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesinfarbe und von feiner weißer Baumwolle, und eines Webers, daß sie allerlei Werke machen und sinnreiche Arbeit erfinden.
Exodus 35
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying,
5 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,
6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 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.
