1
And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.
2
Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.
3
No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.
4
And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:
5
Take from among you an offering to the Lord; everyone who has the impulse in his heart, let him give his offering to the Lord; gold and silver and brass;
6
And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,
7
And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,
8
And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.
9
And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.
10
And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;
11
The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;
12
The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;
13
The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;
14
And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;
15
And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;
16
The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;
17
The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;
18
The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;
19
The robes of needlework for the work of the holy place, the holy robes for Aaron the priest, and the robes for his sons when acting as priests.
