Willing Hearts Contribute to Yahweh
4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, saying, 5 ‘(A)Take from among you a [a]contribution to Yahweh; whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as a [b]contribution to Yahweh: gold, silver, and [c]bronze, 6 and [d]blue, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, goats’ hair, 7 and rams’ skins [e]dyed red, and porpoise skins, and acacia wood, 8 and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, 9 and onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the [f]breastpiece.
10 ‘(B)And let everyone [g]wise at heart among you come and make all that Yahweh has commanded: 11 the [h](C)tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12 the (D)ark and its poles, the [i]mercy seat, and the curtain of the screen; 13 the (E)table and its poles, and all its [j]utensils, and the bread of the [k]Presence; 14 the (F)lampstand also for the light and its utensils and its lamps and the oil for the light; 15 and the (G)altar of incense and its poles, and the (H)anointing oil and the (I)fragrant incense, and the screen for the doorway at the [l]entrance of the tabernacle; 16 (J)the altar of burnt offering with its [m]bronze grating, its poles, and all its [n]utensils, the laver and its stand; 17 (K)the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18 the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court and their cords; 19 the [o](L)woven garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.’”
Contributions Brought by the People
20 Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel went out from Moses’ presence. 21 (M)And everyone whose heart [p]stirred him and everyone whose spirit was willing came and brought the [q]contribution to Yahweh for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service and for the holy garments. 22 Then all whose hearts were willing, both men and women, came and brought brooches and [r]earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did every man who waved it as a wave offering of gold to Yahweh. 23 And every man, [s]who had in his possession [t]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine linen and goats’ hair and rams’ skins [u]dyed red and porpoise skins, brought them. 24 Everyone who could raise up a [v]contribution of silver and [w]bronze brought the [x]contribution to Yahweh; and every man [y]who had in his possession acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. 25 All the women [z]wise at heart spun with their hands and brought what they had spun, in [aa]blue and purple and scarlet material and in fine linen. 26 And all the women whose heart [ab]stirred with wisdom spun the goats’ hair. 27 And the rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the [ac]breastpiece; 28 and (N)the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. 29 The sons of Israel—all the men and women whose heart was willing to bring material for all the work, which Yahweh had commanded through the hand of Moses to do—brought a (O)freewill offering to Yahweh.

4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, (B)“This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying: 5 ‘Take from among you an offering to the Lord. (C)Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the Lord: (D)gold, silver, and bronze; 6 (E)blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and (F)goats’ hair; 7 ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; 8 oil for the light, (G)and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 9 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.

10 (H)‘All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 (I)the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 12 (J)the ark and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering; 13 the (K)table and its poles, all its utensils, (L)and the showbread; 14 also (M)the lampstand for the light, its utensils, its lamps, and the oil for the light; 15 (N)the incense altar, its poles, (O)the anointing oil, (P)the sweet incense, and the screen for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; 16 (Q)the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, all its utensils, and the laver and its base; 17 (R)the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18 the pegs of the tabernacle, the pegs of the court, and their cords; 19 (S)the [a]garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place—the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.’ ”
The Tabernacle Offerings Presented
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 21 Then everyone came (T)whose heart [b]was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they (U)brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22 They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought (V)earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all (W)jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the Lord. 23 And (X)every man, with whom was found blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair, red skins of rams, and [c]badger skins, brought them. 24 Everyone who offered an offering of silver or bronze brought the Lord’s offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. 25 All the women who were (Y)gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. 26 And all the women whose hearts [d]stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair. 27 (Z)The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate, 28 and (AA)spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 29 The children of Israel brought a (AB)freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.
