1Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and said to them, "These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

1וַיַּקְהֵ֣ל מֹשֶׁ֗ה אֶֽת־ כָּל־ עֲדַ֛ת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אֵ֚לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־ צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה לַעֲשֹׂ֥ת אֹתָֽם׃

2For six days work is to be done, but on the seventh day you are to have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on it must be executed.

2שֵׁ֣שֶׁת יָמִים֮ תֵּעָשֶׂ֣ה מְלָאכָה֒ וּבַיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗י יִהְיֶ֨ה לָכֶ֥ם קֹ֛דֶשׁ שַׁבַּ֥ת שַׁבָּת֖וֹן לַיהוָ֑ה כָּל־ הָעֹשֶׂ֥ה ב֛וֹ מְלָאכָ֖ה יוּמָֽת׃

3Do not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day."

3לֹא־ תְבַעֲר֣וּ אֵ֔שׁ בְּכֹ֖ל מֹשְׁבֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם בְּי֖וֹם הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃ פ

4Then Moses said to the entire Israelite community, "This is what the LORD has commanded:

4וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶל־ כָּל־ עֲדַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר זֶ֣ה הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁר־ צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר׃

5Take up an offering among you for the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring this as the LORD's offering: gold, silver, and bronze;

5קְח֨וּ מֵֽאִתְּכֶ֤ם תְּרוּמָה֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כֹּ֚ל נְדִ֣יב לִבּ֔וֹ יְבִיאֶ֕הָ אֵ֖ת תְּרוּמַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה זָהָ֥ב וָכֶ֖סֶף וּנְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

7ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

7וְעֹרֹ֨ת אֵילִ֧ם מְאָדָּמִ֛ים וְעֹרֹ֥ת תְּחָשִׁ֖ים וַעֲצֵ֥י שִׂטִּֽים׃‪‬

8oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

8וְשֶׁ֖מֶן לַמָּא֑וֹר וּבְשָׂמִים֙ לְשֶׁ֣מֶן הַמִּשְׁחָ֔ה וְלִקְטֹ֖רֶת הַסַּמִּֽים׃

9and onyx with gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece.

9וְאַ֨בְנֵי־ שֹׁ֔הַם וְאַבְנֵ֖י מִלֻּאִ֑ים לָאֵפ֖וֹד וְלַחֹֽשֶׁן׃

10"Let all the skilled artisans among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:

10וְכָל־ חֲכַם־ לֵ֖ב בָּכֶ֑ם יָבֹ֣אוּ וְיַעֲשׂ֔וּ אֵ֛ת כָּל־ אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה יְהוָֽה׃

11the tabernacle--its tent and covering, its clasps and supports, its crossbars, its pillars and bases;

11אֶת־ הַ֨מִּשְׁכָּ֔ן אֶֽת־ אָהֳל֖וֹ וְאֶת־ מִכְסֵ֑הוּ אֶת־ קְרָסָיו֙ וְאֶת־ קְרָשָׁ֔יו אֶת־ בְּרִיחָ֕ו‪‬ אֶת־ עַמֻּדָ֖יו וְאֶת־ אֲדָנָֽיו׃

12the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the curtain for the screen;

12אֶת־ הָאָרֹ֥ן וְאֶת־ בַּדָּ֖יו אֶת־ הַכַּפֹּ֑רֶת וְאֵ֖ת פָּרֹ֥כֶת הַמָּסָֽךְ׃

13the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

13אֶת־ הַשֻּׁלְחָ֥ן וְאֶת־ בַּדָּ֖יו וְאֶת־ כָּל־ כֵּלָ֑יו וְאֵ֖ת לֶ֥חֶם הַפָּנִֽים׃

14the lampstand for light with its utensils and lamps as well as the oil for the light;

14וְאֶת־ מְנֹרַ֧ת הַמָּא֛וֹר וְאֶת־ כֵּלֶ֖יהָ וְאֶת־ נֵרֹתֶ֑יהָ וְאֵ֖ת שֶׁ֥מֶן הַמָּאֽוֹר׃

15the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the entryway screen for the entrance to the tabernacle;

15וְאֶת־ מִזְבַּ֤ח הַקְּטֹ֙רֶת֙ וְאֶת־ בַּדָּ֔יו וְאֵת֙ שֶׁ֣מֶן הַמִּשְׁחָ֔ה וְאֵ֖ת קְטֹ֣רֶת הַסַּמִּ֑ים וְאֶת־ מָסַ֥ךְ הַפֶּ֖תַח לְפֶ֥תַח הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃

16the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;

16אֵ֣ת ׀ מִזְבַּ֣ח הָעֹלָ֗ה וְאֶת־ מִכְבַּ֤ר הַנְּחֹ֙שֶׁת֙ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֔וֹ אֶת־ בַּדָּ֖יו וְאֶת־ כָּל־ כֵּלָ֑יו אֶת־ הַכִּיֹּ֖ר וְאֶת־ כַּנּֽוֹ׃

17the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and bases, and the screen for the gate of the courtyard;

17אֵ֚ת קַלְעֵ֣י הֶחָצֵ֔ר אֶת־ עַמֻּדָ֖יו וְאֶת־ אֲדָנֶ֑יהָ וְאֵ֕ת מָסַ֖ךְ שַׁ֥עַר הֶחָצֵֽר׃

18the tent pegs for the tabernacle and the tent pegs for the courtyard, along with their ropes;

18אֶת־ יִתְדֹ֧ת הַמִּשְׁכָּ֛ן וְאֶת־ יִתְדֹ֥ת הֶחָצֵ֖ר וְאֶת־ מֵיתְרֵיהֶֽם׃

19and the specially woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary--the holy garments for the priest Aaron and the garments for his sons to serve as priests."

19אֶת־ בִּגְדֵ֥י הַשְּׂרָ֖ד לְשָׁרֵ֣ת בַּקֹּ֑דֶשׁ אֶת־ בִּגְדֵ֤י הַקֹּ֙דֶשׁ֙ לְאַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְאֶת־ בִּגְדֵ֥י בָנָ֖יו לְכַהֵֽן׃

20Then the entire Israelite community left Moses's presence.

20וַיֵּֽצְא֛וּ כָּל־ עֲדַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִלִּפְנֵ֥י מֹשֶֽׁה׃

21Everyone whose heart was moved and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.

21וַיָּבֹ֕אוּ כָּל־ אִ֖ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ נְשָׂא֣וֹ לִבּ֑וֹ וְכֹ֡ל אֲשֶׁר֩ נָדְבָ֨ה רוּח֜וֹ אֹת֗וֹ הֵ֠בִיאוּ אֶת־ תְּרוּמַ֨ת יְהוָ֜ה לִמְלֶ֨אכֶת אֹ֤הֶל מוֹעֵד֙ וּלְכָל־ עֲבֹ֣דָת֔וֹ וּלְבִגְדֵ֖י הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃

22Both men and women came; all who had willing hearts brought brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry--everyone who presented a presentation offering of gold to the LORD.

22וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֖ים עַל־ הַנָּשִׁ֑ים כֹּ֣ל ׀ נְדִ֣יב לֵ֗ב הֵ֠בִיאוּ חָ֣ח וָנֶ֜זֶם וְטַבַּ֤עַת וְכוּמָז֙ כָּל־ כְּלִ֣י זָהָ֔ב וְכָל־ אִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵנִ֛יף תְּנוּפַ֥ת זָהָ֖ב לַיהוָֽה׃

23Everyone who possessed blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, fine linen or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or fine leather, brought them.

23וְכָל־ אִ֞ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ נִמְצָ֣א אִתּ֗וֹ תְּכֵ֧לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֛ן וְתוֹלַ֥עַת שָׁנִ֖י וְשֵׁ֣שׁ וְעִזִּ֑ים וְעֹרֹ֨ת אֵילִ֧ם מְאָדָּמִ֛ים וְעֹרֹ֥ת תְּחָשִׁ֖ים הֵבִֽיאוּ׃

24Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Everyone who possessed acacia wood useful for any task in the work brought it.

24כָּל־ מֵרִ֗ים תְּר֤וּמַת כֶּ֙סֶף֙ וּנְחֹ֔שֶׁת הֵבִ֕יאוּ אֵ֖ת תְּרוּמַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְכֹ֡ל אֲשֶׁר֩ נִמְצָ֨א אִתּ֜וֹ עֲצֵ֥י שִׁטִּ֛ים לְכָל־ מְלֶ֥אכֶת הָעֲבֹדָ֖ה הֵבִֽיאוּ׃

25Every skilled woman spun yarn with her hands and brought it: blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

25וְכָל־ אִשָּׁ֥ה חַכְמַת־ לֵ֖ב בְּיָדֶ֣יהָ טָו֑וּ וַיָּבִ֣יאוּ מַטְוֶ֗ה אֶֽת־ הַתְּכֵ֙לֶת֙ וְאֶת־ הָֽאַרְגָּמָ֔ן אֶת־ תּוֹלַ֥עַת הַשָּׁנִ֖י וְאֶת־ הַשֵּֽׁשׁ׃

26And all the women whose hearts were moved spun the goat hair by virtue of their skill.

26וְכָל־ הַ֨נָּשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָשָׂ֥א לִבָּ֛ן אֹתָ֖נָה בְּחָכְמָ֑ה טָו֖וּ אֶת־ הָעִזִּֽים׃

27The leaders brought onyx and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,

27וְהַנְּשִׂאִ֣ם הֵבִ֔יאוּ אֵ֚ת אַבְנֵ֣י הַשֹּׁ֔הַם וְאֵ֖ת אַבְנֵ֣י הַמִּלֻּאִ֑ים לָאֵפ֖וֹד וְלַחֹֽשֶׁן׃

28as well as the spice and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

28וְאֶת־ הַבֹּ֖שֶׂם וְאֶת־ הַשָּׁ֑מֶן לְמָא֕וֹר וּלְשֶׁ֙מֶן֙ הַמִּשְׁחָ֔ה וְלִקְטֹ֖רֶת הַסַּמִּֽים׃

29So the Israelites brought a freewill offering to the LORD, all the men and women whose hearts prompted them to bring something for all the work that the LORD, through Moses, had commanded to be done.

29כָּל־ אִ֣ישׁ וְאִשָּׁ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָדַ֣ב לִבָּם֮ אֹתָם֒ לְהָבִיא֙ לְכָל־ הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה לַעֲשׂ֖וֹת בְּיַד־ מֹשֶׁ֑ה הֵבִ֧יאוּ בְנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל נְדָבָ֖ה לַיהוָֽה׃ פ

30Moses then said to the Israelites: "Look, the LORD has appointed by name Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

30וַיֹּ֤אמֶר מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶל־ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל רְא֛וּ קָרָ֥א יְהוָ֖ה בְּשֵׁ֑ם בְּצַלְאֵ֛ל בֶּן־ אוּרִ֥י בֶן־ ח֖וּר לְמַטֵּ֥ה יְהוּדָֽה׃

31He has filled him with God's Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in every kind of craft

31וַיְמַלֵּ֥א אֹת֖וֹ ר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֑ים בְּחָכְמָ֛ה בִּתְבוּנָ֥ה וּבְדַ֖עַת וּבְכָל־ מְלָאכָֽה׃

32to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,

32וְלַחְשֹׁ֖ב מַֽחַשָׁבֹ֑ת לַעֲשֹׂ֛ת בַּזָּהָ֥ב וּבַכֶּ֖סֶף וּבַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃

33to cut gemstones for mounting, and to carve wood for work in every kind of artistic craft.

33וּבַחֲרֹ֥שֶׁת אֶ֛בֶן לְמַלֹּ֖את וּבַחֲרֹ֣שֶׁת עֵ֑ץ לַעֲשׂ֖וֹת בְּכָל־ מְלֶ֥אכֶת מַחֲשָֽׁבֶת׃

34He has also given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.

34וּלְהוֹרֹ֖ת נָתַ֣ן בְּלִבּ֑וֹ ה֕וּא וְאָֽהֳלִיאָ֥ב בֶּן־ אֲחִיסָמָ֖ךְ לְמַטֵּה־ דָֽן׃

35He has filled them with skill to do all the work of a gem cutter; a designer; an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen; and a weaver. They can do every kind of craft and design artistic designs.

35מִלֵּ֨א אֹתָ֜ם חָכְמַת־ לֵ֗ב לַעֲשׂוֹת֮ כָּל־ מְלֶ֣אכֶת חָרָ֣שׁ ׀ וְחֹשֵׁב֒ וְרֹקֵ֞ם בַּתְּכֵ֣לֶת וּבָֽאַרְגָּמָ֗ן בְּתוֹלַ֧עַת הַשָּׁנִ֛י וּבַשֵּׁ֖שׁ וְאֹרֵ֑ג עֹשֵׂי֙ כָּל־ מְלָאכָ֔ה וְחֹשְׁבֵ֖י מַחֲשָׁבֹֽת׃
