Offerings for the Tabernacle

35 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael and said to them, “These are the words which Adonai has commanded you to do. Work is to be done for six days, but the seventh day is a holy day for you, a Shabbat of complete rest to Adonai. Whoever does any work then will die. Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on Yom Shabbat.”

Moses also said to all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael, “This is the word which Adonai commanded saying: Take from among you an offering for Adonai. Whoever has a willing heart, let him bring Adonai’s offering: gold, silver and bronze; blue, purple and scarlet cloth; fine linen and goat hair; ram skins dyed red, sealskins and acacia wood; oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; onyx stones, and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastplate.

10 “Let every wise-hearted man among you come and make everything that Adonai has commanded, including 11 the Tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its boards, its crossbars, its pillars and its bases; 12 the Ark and the poles, the atonement cover and the curtain screen; 13 the table and its poles with all of its utensils, along with the bread of the Presence; 14 also the menorah for light with its utensils, its lamps and the oil for the light; 15 the altar of incense and its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the screen for the entrance of the Tabernacle; 16 the altar of burnt offering with its grating of bronze, its poles and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; 17 the hangings of the courtyard, the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard; 18 the pegs of the Tabernacle and of the courtyard, along with their cords; 19 the woven garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the kohen and for his sons, to minister as kohanim.”

20 Then all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael departed from before Moses.

35 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded(A) you to do: For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath(B) rest to the Lord.

Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver and bronze; blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather[a]; acacia wood; olive oil(G) for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

10 “All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded:(H) 11 the tabernacle(I) with its tent and its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 12 the ark(J) with its poles and the atonement cover and the curtain(K) that shields it; 13 the table(L) with its poles and all its articles and the bread of the Presence; 14 the lampstand(M) that is for light with its accessories, lamps and oil for the light; 15 the altar(N) of incense with its poles, the anointing oil(O) and the fragrant incense;(P) the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;(Q) 16 the altar(R) of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the bronze basin(S) with its stand; 17 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard;(T) 18 the tent pegs(U) for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, and their ropes; 19 the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary—both the sacred garments(V) for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests.”
