1Then Moses called together the whole community of Israel and told them, “These are the instructions the LORD has commanded you to follow.

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

2You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death.

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

3You must not even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath.” Offerings for the Tabernacle

3לֹא־ תְבַעֲר֣וּ אֵ֔שׁ בְּכֹ֖ל מֹשְׁבֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם בְּי֖וֹם הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃ פ

4Then Moses said to the whole community of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

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

5Take a sacred offering for the LORD. Let those with generous hearts present the following gifts to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;

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

6blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth;

6וּתְכֵ֧לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֛ן וְתוֹלַ֥עַת שָׁנִ֖י וְשֵׁ֥שׁ וְעִזִּֽים׃

7tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather; acacia wood;

7וְעֹרֹ֨ת אֵילִ֧ם מְאָדָּמִ֛ים וְעֹרֹ֥ת תְּחָשִׁ֖ים וַעֲצֵ֥י שִׂטִּֽים׃‪‬

8olive oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense;

8וְשֶׁ֖מֶן לַמָּא֑וֹר וּבְשָׂמִים֙ לְשֶׁ֣מֶן הַמִּשְׁחָ֔ה וְלִקְטֹ֖רֶת הַסַּמִּֽים׃

9onyx stones, and other gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

9וְאַ֨בְנֵי־ שֹׁ֔הַם וְאַבְנֵ֖י מִלֻּאִ֑ים לָאֵפ֖וֹד וְלַחֹֽשֶׁן׃

10“Come, all of you who are gifted craftsmen. Construct everything that the LORD has commanded:

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

11the Tabernacle and its sacred tent, its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts, and bases;

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

12the Ark and its carrying poles; the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement; the inner curtain to shield the Ark;

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

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

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

14for light, the lampstand, its accessories, the lamp cups, and the olive oil for lighting;

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

15the incense altar and its carrying poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the entrance of the Tabernacle;

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

16the altar of burnt offering; the bronze grating of the altar and its carrying poles and utensils; the washbasin with its stand;

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

17the curtains for the walls of the courtyard; the posts and their bases; the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard;

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

18the tent pegs of the Tabernacle and courtyard and their ropes;

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

19the beautifully stitched garments for the priests to wear while ministering in the Holy Place—the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests.”

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

20So the whole community of Israel left Moses and returned to their tents.

20וַיֵּֽצְא֛וּ כָּל־ עֲדַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִלִּפְנֵ֥י מֹשֶֽׁה׃

21All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the LORD. They brought all the materials needed for the Tabernacle, for the performance of its rituals, and for the sacred 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 whose hearts were willing. They brought to the LORD their offerings of gold—brooches, earrings, rings from their fingers, and necklaces. They presented gold objects of every kind as a special offering 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׃

23All those who owned the following items willingly brought them: blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth; and tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather.

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

24And all who had silver and bronze objects gave them as a sacred offering to the LORD. And those who had acacia wood brought it for use in the project.

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

25All the women who were skilled in sewing and spinning prepared blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen cloth.

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

26All the women who were willing used their skills to spin the goat hair into yarn.

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

27The leaders brought onyx stones and the special gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

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

28They also brought spices and olive oil for the light, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense.

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

29So the people of Israel—every man and woman who was eager to help in the work the LORD had given them through Moses—brought their gifts and gave them freely to the LORD.

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

30Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The LORD has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

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

31The LORD has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

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

32He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.

32וְלַחְשֹׁ֖ב מַֽחַשָׁבֹ֑ת לַעֲשֹׂ֛ת בַּזָּהָ֥ב וּבַכֶּ֖סֶף וּבַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃

33He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft.

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

34And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their skills to others.

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

35The LORD has given them special skills as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers.

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