Shemot 35

Vayakhel

Now Moshe assembled the entire community of the Children of Israel

and said to them:

“These are the words that Adonai has commanded, to do them:

For six days is work to be made,

but on the seventh day,

there is to be holiness for you,

Sabbath, Sabbath-Ceasing for Adonai;

whoever makes work on it is to be put to death!

You are not to light a fire throughout all your settlements on the Sabbath day.”

 

Moshe spoke to the entire community of the Children of Israel,

saying:

“This is the matter that Adonai has commanded, saying:

Take, from yourselves, a fund-raiser for Adonai,

whoever is of willing mind is to bring it,

Adonai’s contribution:

gold, silver, and bronze,

blue-violet, purple, worm scarlet, byssus and goats’-hair,

rams’ skins dyed-red, tanned-leather skins,

acacia wood,

oil for lighting,

spices for oil of anointing and for fragrant smoking-incense,

onyx stones and stones for setting,

for the efod and for the Chest-plate.”

 

“And everyone wise of mind among you

is to come and is to make all that Adonai has commanded:

the Dwelling, its tent and its cover,

its clasps and its boards,

its running bars, its columns and its sockets;

the Coffer and its poles,

the purgation-cover and the curtain for the screen;

the table and its poles and all its implements,

and the Bread of the Presence;

and the lampstand for lighting and its implements and its lamps,

and the oil for lighting;

and the altar for smoke-offering and its poles, and the oil for anointing,

and the fragrant smoking-incense;

and the entrance screen for the entrance of the Dwelling;

the altar for offering-up and the bronze lattice that [belongs] to it, its poles and all its implements;

the basin and its pedestal;

the hangings of the courtyard, its columns and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the courtyard;

the pins of the Dwelling and the pins of the courtyard, and their cords,

the officiating garments for attending at the Holy-Shrine;

the garments of holiness for Aharon the priest

and the garments of his sons for acting-as-priest.

 

So the entire community of the Children of Israel

went out from Moshe’s presence,

and then they came, every person whose mind was uplifted

and everyone whose spirit made-him-willing brought Adonai’s fund-raiser

for the skilled-work on the Tent of Appointed-time, for all its service [of construction], and for the garments of holiness.

Then came men and women alike, everyone of willing mind;

they brought

brooch and nose-ring and signet-ring and necklace, every kind of gold object,

everyone who wished to elevate an elevation-offering of gold to Adonai;

and everyone with whom could be found

blue-violet, purple, worm scarlet, byssus and goats’-hair, rams’ skins dyed-red and tanned-leather skins,

brought it.

Everyone raising a fund-raiser of silver and bronze

brought Adonai’s contribution,

and everyone with whom could be found

acacia wood for all the work of the service [of construction], brought it.

 

And every woman wise of mind,

with their hands they spun

and brought their spinning—

the blue-violet, the purple, the worm scarlet and the byssus,

and every one of the women whose mind uplifted them in practical-wisdom

spun the goats’-hair.

 

And the princely-leaders brought

the onyx stones and the stones for setting,

for the efod and for the Chest-plate,

and the fragrant-spice and the oil

for lighting, for oil of anointing, for fragrant smoking-incense.

Every man and woman

whose mind made-them-willing to bring [anything] for all the workmanship

that Adonai had commanded to make through Moshe, the Children of Israel brought it,

as a freewill-offering for Adonai.

…so Moshe called

for Betzalel, for Oholiav,

and for all persons wise of mind into whose mind Adonai had put wisdom,

all those whose mind uplifted them to come-near for the work,

to make it.

And they took from Moshe all the contributions

that the Children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of [constructing] the Holy-Shrine,

to make it.

Now they brought him further, freewill-offerings in the morning, [every] morning;

and came, all the wise-ones who were making all the skilled-work for the Holy-Shrine,

person after person, from their skilled-work that they were making,

and said to Moshe, saying:

“The people are bringing much more

than enough for the service of [doing] the work

that Adonai has commanded, to make it!”

So Moshe commanded and they had a call go throughout the camp, saying:

“Man and woman—let them not make-ready any further work-material for the fund-raiser of the Holy-Shrine!”

So the people were stopped from bringing;

the work-material was enough for them, for all the work, to make it, and more.
