1 Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, ^b“These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do. 2 ^cSix days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. 3 ^dYou shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day.”

4 Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. 5 ^eTake from among you a contribution to the Lord. ^fWhoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; 6 blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats’ hair, 7 tanned rams’ skins, and goatskins;¹ acacia wood, 8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 9 and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.

10 “Let ^gevery skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 ^hthe tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 12 ⁱthe ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the ^jveil of the screen; 13 ^kthe table with its poles and all its utensils, and the ^lbread of the Presence; 14 ^mthe lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the ⁿoil for the light; 15 ^oand the altar of incense, with its poles, ^pand the anointing oil and the ^qfragrant incense, and ^rthe screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; 16 ^sthe altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the ^tbasin and its stand; 17 ^uthe hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18 ^vthe pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their ^wcords; 19 the ^xfinely worked garments for ministering² in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests.”

20 Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
