Exodus 35:4-29

International Standard Version

⁴ Then Moses told the entire congregation of the Israelis, “This is what the Lord has commanded, ⁵ ‘Take from among yourselves an offering for the Lord. Everyone whose heart is willing is to bring as an offering for the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze; ⁶ blue, purple, and scarlet material;^[a] fine linen and goat hair; ⁷ ram skins dyed red,^[b] dolphin^[c] skins, acacia wood, ⁸ oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for aromatic incense, ⁹ onyx stones, and stones for setting in the ephod and the breast piece.

¹⁰ “‘Let everyone who is skilled^[d] among you come and make everything that the Lord has commanded: ¹¹ the tent, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets, ¹² the ark, its poles, the Mercy Seat, the curtain,^{[e] 13} the table, its poles, all its furnishings, and the bread of the presence, ¹⁴ the lamp stand for light, its furnishings, its lamps, and oil for the light, ¹⁵ the altar of incense, its poles, the anointing oil, the aromatic incense, and the screen for the doorway at the entrance to the tent, ¹⁶ the altar for burnt offerings, the bronze lattice for it, its poles, and all its furnishings, the basin and its base, ¹⁷ the hangings for the court, its pillars, its sockets,^[f] the screen for the gate of the court, ¹⁸ the pegs for the tent, the pegs for the court, and their cords, ¹⁹ the woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments of Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons for serving as priests.’”

²⁰ Then the entire congregation of the Israelis withdrew from Moses’ presence, ²¹ and every person whose heart moved him and all whose spirits prompted them, brought an offering to the Lord for constructing^[g] the Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments. ²² Both the men and women came—all whose hearts prompted them—and brought brooches, earrings, rings, pendants, and all kinds of gold jewelry. Every person presented a wave offering of gold to the Lord.

²³ Everyone who had blue, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red,^[h] and dolphin^[i] skins brought them. ²⁴ Everyone who could give an offering of silver and bronze brought it as a contribution for the Lord. Also all who had acacia wood for any use in the work^[j] brought it.

²⁵ Every skilled^[k] woman spun with her hands, and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine linen. ²⁶ All the women who were skilled artisans^[l] spun the goat hair.

²⁷ The leaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and the breast piece, ²⁸ spices and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and the aromatic incense. ²⁹ Each Israeli man and woman whose heart was prompted brought something^[m] as a freewill offering to the Lord for all the work that the Lord had commanded them to do through^[n] Moses.
