The People Offer Gifts
20Then the wholeH3605 congregationH5712H1121 of IsraelH3478 withdrewH3318 from the presenceH6440 of MosesH4872. 21And everyoneH3605H376 whoseH834 heartH3820 stirred himH5375 andH3605 whoseH834 spiritH7307 promptedH5068 himH853 cameH935 and broughtH935 an offeringH8641 to the LORDH3068 for the workH4399 on the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, for allH3605 its servicesH5656, and for the holyH6944 garmentsH899.
22So allH3605 who had willingH5081 heartsH3820, both menH582 andH5921 womenH802, cameH935 and broughtH935 broochesH2397 and earringsH5141, ringsH2885 and necklacesH3558, and all kindsH3605 of goldH2091 jewelryH3627. And they allH3605H376 presentedH5130 their goldH2091 as a wave offeringH8573 to the LORDH3068.
23EveryoneH3605H376 whoH834H4672 hadH854 blueH8504, purpleH713, or scarlet yarnH8438H8144, or fine linenH8336, goat hairH5795, ramH352 skinsH5785 dyed redH119, or articles of fine leatherH8476H5785, brought themH935. 24And allH3605 who could presentH7311 an offeringH8641 of silverH3701 or bronzeH5178 broughtH935 itH853 as a contributionH8641 to the LORDH3068. Also, everyoneH3605 whoH834 hadH4672H854 acaciaH7848 woodH6086 for anyH3605 partH4399 of the serviceH5656 brought itH935.
25EveryH3605 skilledH2450H3820 womanH802 spunH2901 with her handsH3027 and broughtH935 what she had spunH4299: blueH8504, purpleH713, or scarlet yarnH8438H8144, or fine linenH8336. 26And allH3605 the skilled womenH802H2451 whoseH834 heartsH3820 were stirredH5375 spunH2901 the goat hairH5795.
27The leadersH5387 broughtH935 onyxH7718 stonesH68 and gemstonesH68 to mountH4394 on the ephodH646 and breastpieceH2833, 28as well as spicesH1314 and olive oilH8081 for the lightH3974, for the anointingH4888 oilH8081, and for the fragrantH5561 incenseH7004.
29So allH3605 the menH376 and womenH802 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478 whoseH834 heartsH3820 promptedH5068 themH853 broughtH935 a freewill offeringH5071 to the LORDH3068 for allH3605 the workH4399 thatH834 the LORDH3068 throughH3027 MosesH4872 had commanded themH6680 to doH6213.
Bezalel and Oholiab
(Exodus 31:1–11)
30Then MosesH4872 saidH559 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, “SeeH7200, the LORDH3068 has calledH7121 by nameH8034 BezalelH1212 sonH1121 of UriH221, the sonH1121 of HurH2354, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063. 31And He has filledH4390 himH853 with the SpiritH7307 of GodH430, with skillH2451, abilityH8394, and knowledgeH1847 in all kindsH3605 of craftsmanshipH4399, 32to designH2803 artisticH4284 worksH6213 in goldH2091, silverH3701, and bronzeH5178, 33to cutH2799 gemstonesH68 for settingsH4390, and to carveH2799 woodH6086, so that he may be a masterH6213 of everyH3605 artisticH4284 craftH4399.
34AndH3820 the LORD has givenH5414 both himH1931 and OholiabH171 sonH1121 of AhisamachH294, of the tribeH4294 of DanH1835, the ability to teach othersH3384. 35He has filledH4390 themH853 with skillH2451H3820 to doH6213 all kindsH3605 of workH4399 as engraversH2796, designersH2803, embroiderersH7551 in blueH8504, purpleH713, and scarlet yarnH8438H8144 and fine linenH8336, and as weaversH707—as artistic designersH6213H2803H4284 of every kindH3605 of craftH4399.
