Exodus 35:4-29

4And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying:

5‘Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze;

6blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair;

7ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood;

8oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense;

9onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.

10‘All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded:

11the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

12the ark and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering;

13the table and its poles, all its utensils, and the showbread;

14also the lampstand for the light, its utensils, its lamps, and the oil for the light;

15the incense altar, its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the screen for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle;

16the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, all its utensils, and the laver and its base;

17the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;

18the pegs of the tabernacle, the pegs of the court, and their cords;

19the garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place—the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.’ ”

20And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

21Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.

22They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the Lord.

23And every man, with whom was found blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair, red skins of rams, and badger skins, brought them.

24Everyone who offered an offering of silver or bronze brought the Lord’s offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.

25All the women who were gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

26And all the women whose hearts stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair.

27The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate,

28and spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

29The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.
