Musa assembled all the congregation of Bani-Israel, and said to them, “These are the words which Allah has commanded, that you should do them. 2‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to Allah: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death. 3You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.‘”
4Musa spoke to all the congregation of Bani-Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Allah commanded, saying, 5‘Take from among you an offering to Allah. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, Allah’s offering: gold, silver, bronze, 6blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair, 7rams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood, 8oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, 9onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
10“Let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that Allah has commanded: 11the tent, its outer covering, its roof, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 12the ark, and its poles, the mercy seat, the veil of the screen; 13the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the show bread; 14the lampstand also for the light, with its vessels, its lamps, and the oil for the light; 15and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door, at the door of the tent; 16the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, it poles, and all its vessels, the basin and its base; 17the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court; 18the pins of the tent, the pins of the court, and their cords; 19the finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Harun the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.‘”
20All the congregation of Bani-Israel departed from the presence of Musa. 21They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought Allah’s offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all of its service, and for the holy garments. 22They came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, ear-rings, signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man who offered an offering of gold to Allah. 23Everyone, with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them. 24Everyone who did offer an offering of silver and bronze brought Allah’s offering; and everyone, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. 25All the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen. 26All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair. 27The rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastplate; 28and the spice, and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 29Bani-Israel brought a freewill offering to Allah; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Allah had commanded to be made by Musa.
30Musa said to Bani-Israel, “Behold, Allah has called by name Bezalel Ibn Uri, Ibn Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; 32and to make skillful works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, 33in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship. 34He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab Ibn Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.
