Exodus 35:1-13
The Sabbath Command
1 Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do:(A)
2 For six days work is to be done, but on the seventh day you are to have a holy day, a Sabbath(B) of complete rest to the Lord. Anyone who does work on it must be executed.
3 Do not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”(C)
Building the Tabernacle
4 Then Moses said to the entire Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded:
5 Take(D) up an offering among you for the Lord. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring this as the Lord’s offering: gold, silver, and bronze;
6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
7 ram skins dyed red and manatee skins;(a) acacia wood;
8 oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
9 and onyx with gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece.
10 “Let all the skilled craftsmen(b) among you come and make everything that the Lord has commanded:(E)
11 the tabernacle—its tent and covering, its clasps and planks, its crossbars, its posts and bases;
12 the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil for the screen;
13 the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;
