| 2Six 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. | 2For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. |
| 3Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. | 3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day." |

| 20And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. | 20Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses' presence, |
| 21And 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. | 21and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. |
| 22And 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. | 22All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD. |
| 23And 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. | 23Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them. |
| 24Every 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. | 24Those presenting an offering of silver or bronze brought it as an offering to the LORD, and everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work brought it. |
| 25And 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. | 25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun--blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen. |
| 26And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair. | 26And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. |
| 27And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; | 27The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. |
| 28And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. | 28They also brought spices and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. |
| 29The 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. | 29All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the LORD freewill offerings for all the work the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do. |
| 30And 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; | 30Then Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, |
| 31And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; | 31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills-- |
| 32And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, | 32to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, |
| 33And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work. | 33to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. |
| 34And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. | 34And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. |
| 35Them 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. | 35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers--all of them skilled workers and designers. |
