1 Moisés reuniu toda a comunidade de Israel e lhes disse: "Estas são as coisas que o Senhor os mandou fazer:
2 Em seis dias qualquer trabalho poderá ser feito, mas o sétimo dia lhes será santo, um sábado de descanso consagrado ao Senhor. Todo aquele que trabalhar nesse dia terá que ser morto.
3 Nem sequer acendam fogo em nenhuma de suas casas no dia de sábado! "
4 Disse Moisés a toda a comunidade de Israel: "Foi isto que o Senhor ordenou:
5 Separem dentre os seus bens uma oferta para o Senhor. Todo aquele que, de coração, estiver disposto, trará como oferta ao Senhor ouro, prata e bronze;
6 fios de tecido azul, roxo e vermelho; linho fino e pêlos de cabra;
7 peles de carneiro tingidas de vermelho e couro; madeira de acácia;
8 óleo para a iluminação; especiarias para o óleo da unção e para o incenso aromático;
9 pedras de ônix e outras pedras preciosas para serem encravadas no colete sacerdotal e no peitoral.
10 "Todos os que dentre vocês forem capazes virão fazer tudo quanto o Senhor ordenou:
11 o tabernáculo com sua tenda e sua cobertura, os ganchos, as armações, os travessões, as colunas e as bases;
12 a arca com suas varas, a tampa e o véu que a protege;
13 a mesa com suas varas e todos os seus utensílios, e os pães da Presença;
14 o candelabro com seus utensílios, as lâmpadas e o óleo para iluminação;
15 o altar do incenso com suas varas, o óleo da unção e o incenso aromático; a cortina divisória à entrada do tabernáculo;
16 o altar de holocaustos com sua grelha de bronze, suas varas e todos os seus utensílios; a bacia de bronze e sua base;
17 as cortinas externas do pátio com suas colunas e bases, e a cortina da entrada para o pátio;
18 as estacas do tabernáculo e do pátio e suas cordas;
19 as vestes litúrgicas para ministrar no Lugar Santo, tanto as vestes sagradas de Arão, o sacerdote, como as vestes de seus filhos, para quando servirem como sacerdotes".
20 Então toda a comunidade de Israel saiu da presença de Moisés,
21 e todos os que estavam dispostos, cujo coração os impeliu a isso, trouxeram uma oferta ao Senhor para a obra na Tenda do Encontro, para todos os seus serviços e para as vestes sagradas.
22 Todos os que se dispuseram, tanto homens como mulheres, trouxeram jóias de ouro de todos os tipos: broches, brincos, anéis e ornamentos; e apresentaram seus objetos de ouro como oferta ritualmente movida perante o Senhor.
23 Todos os que possuíam fios de tecido azul, roxo e vermelho, ou linho fino, ou pêlos de cabra, peles de carneiro tingidas de vermelho ou couro, trouxeram-nos.
24 Aqueles que apresentaram oferta de prata ou de bronze trouxeram-na como oferta ao Senhor, e todo aquele que possuía madeira de acácia para qualquer das partes da obra, também a trouxe.
25 Todas as mulheres capazes teceram com suas mãos e trouxeram o que haviam feito: tecidos azul, roxo e vermelho e linho fino.
26 Todas as mulheres que se dispuseram e que tinham habilidade teceram os pêlos de cabra.
27 Os líderes trouxeram pedras de ônix e outras pedras preciosas para serem encravadas no colete sacerdotal e no peitoral.
28 Trouxeram também especiarias e azeite de oliva para iluminação, para o óleo da unção e para o incenso aromático.
29 Todos os israelitas que se dispuseram, tanto homens como mulheres, trouxeram ao Senhor ofertas voluntárias para toda a obra que o Senhor, por meio de Moisés, ordenou-lhes que fizessem.
30 Disse então Moisés aos israelitas: "O Senhor escolheu Bezalel, filho de Uri, neto de Hur, da tribo de Judá,
31 e o encheu do Espírito de Deus, dando-lhe destreza, habilidade e plena capacidade artística,
32 para desenhar e executar trabalhos em ouro, prata e bronze,
33 para talhar e lapidar pedras, entalhar madeira para todo tipo de obra artesanal.
34 E concedeu tanto a ele como a Aoliabe, filho de Aisamaque, da tribo de Dã, a habilidade de ensinar os outros.
35 A todos esses deu capacidade para realizar todo tipo de obra como artesãos, projetistas, bordadores de linho fino e de fios de tecido azul, roxo e vermelho, e como tecelões. Eram capazes para projetar e executar qualquer trabalho artesanal".
1 And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.
2 Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.
3 No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.
4 And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:
5 Take from among you an offering to the Lord; everyone who has the impulse in his heart, let him give his offering to the Lord; gold and silver and brass;
6 And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,
7 And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,
8 And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.
9 And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.
10 And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;
11 The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;
12 The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;
13 The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;
14 And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;
15 And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;
16 The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;
17 The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;
18 The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;
19 The robes of needlework for the work of the holy place, the holy robes for Aaron the priest, and the robes for his sons when acting as priests.
20 And all the children of Israel went away from Moses.
21 And everyone whose heart was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.
22 They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.
23 And everyone who had blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair and sheepskins coloured red and leather, gave them.
24 Everyone who had silver and brass gave an offering of them to the Lord; and everyone who had hard wood, such as was needed for the work, gave it.
25 And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.
26 And those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.
27 And the rulers gave the beryls and the cut jewels for the ephod and the priest's bag;
28 And the spice and the oil for the light, and the holy oil and the sweet perfumes.
29 The children of Israel, every man and woman, from the impulse of their hearts, gave their offerings freely to the Lord for the work which the Lord had given Moses orders to have done.
30 And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And he has made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;
32 As an expert designer of beautiful things, working in gold and silver and brass;
33 Trained in the cutting of stones and the ornamenting of wood and in every sort of handwork.
34 And he has given to him, and to Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the power of training others.
35 To them he has given knowledge of all the arts of the handworker, of the designer, and the expert workman; of the maker of needlework in blue and purple and red and the best linen, and of the maker of cloth; in all the arts of the designer and the trained workman they are expert.
