Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded, saying, (A)Take from among you a [a]contribution to the Lord; whoever is of a willing heart is to bring it as the Lords [b]contribution: gold, silver, and [c]bronze, and [d]violet, purple, and scarlet material, fine linen, goats’ hair, and rams’ skins [e]dyed red, and [f]fine leather, and acacia wood, and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, and onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the [g]breastpiece.

Tabernacle Artisans

10 (B)Have every skillful person among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 the [h](C)tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12 the (D)ark and its poles, the [i]atoning cover, and the covering curtain; 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 curtain 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 basin and its stand; 17 (K)the hangings of the courtyard, its pillars and its bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard; 18 the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the courtyard and their ropes; 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 serve as priests.’”

Gifts Received

20 Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from Moses’ presence. 21 And (M)everyone whose heart [p]stirred him and everyone whose spirit [q]moved him came and brought the Lords [r]contribution for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22 Then all [s]whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came and brought brooches and [t]earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did everyone who [u]presented an offering of gold to the Lord. 23 Everyone [v]who was in possession of violet, purple, or scarlet material or fine linen or goats’ hair, or rams’ skins [w]dyed red or fine leather, brought them. 24 Everyone who could make a [x]contribution of silver and [y]bronze brought the Lords [z]contribution; and everyone [aa]who was in possession of acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. 25 And all the [ab]skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in violet, purple, and scarlet material, and in fine linen. 26 And all the women whose heart [ac]stirred with a skill spun the goats’ hair. 27 The rulers, moreover, brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the [ad]breastpiece; 28 and (N)the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29 The [ae]Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart [af]moved them to bring material for all the work, which the Lord had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a (O)[ag]voluntary offering to the Lord.

Then Moses told the entire congregation of the Israelis, “This is what the Lord has commanded, ‘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; blue, purple, and scarlet material;[a] fine linen and goat hair; ram skins dyed red,[b] dolphin[c] skins, acacia wood, oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for aromatic incense, 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.
