1 Tendo Moisés convocado toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, disse- lhes: Estas são as coisas que Jeová ordenou que se fizessem.

2 Seis dias se trabalhará, porém ao sétimo dia haverá para vós um dia santo, um sábado de descanso solene a Jeová; todo o que nele fizer qualquer trabalho será morto.

3 Não acendereis fogo em nenhum das vossas casas no dia de sábado.

4 Disse mais Moisés a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel: Isto é o que Jeová ordenou, dizendo:

5 Tomai de entre vós uma oferta para Jeová. Quem for bem disposto a trará como oferta a Jeová: ouro, prata, cobre,

6 estofo azul, púrpura, escarlata, linho fino, pêlos de cabras,

7 peles de carneiros tintas de vermelho, peles de animais marinhos, madeira de acácia,

8 azeite para a luz, especiarias para o óleo da unção e para o incenso aromático,

9 pedras de ônix e pedras de engaste para o efode e para o peitoral.

10 Venha todo o homem hábil dentre vós, e faça tudo o que Jeová ordenou:

11 o tabernáculo com a sua tenda, e a sua coberta, os seus ganchos, as suas peças, as suas travessas, as suas colunas e as suas bases;

12 a arca e os seus varais, o propiciatório e o anteparo;

13 a mesa e os seus varais, e todo os seus utensílios, e os pães da proposição;

14 o candeeiro para a luz, e os seus utensílios, e as suas lâmpadas, e o azeite para a luz;

15 o altar do incenso, e os seus varais, e o óleo da unção, e o incenso aromático, e o anteparo para a entrada, à entrada do tabernáculo;

16 o altar do holocausto e a sua grelha de cobre, os seus varais e todos os seus utensílios, a bacia e a sua base;

17 as cortinas do átrio, as suas colunas e as suas bases, e o anteparo para a porta do átrio;

18 os pregos do tabernáculo, e os pregos do átrio, e as suas cordas;

19 os vestidos finamente tecidos, de que se usam no ministério dentro do santo lugar, os vestidos sagrados do sacerdote Arão, e os vestidos de seus filhos, para quando se empregarem no ofício sacerdotal.

20 Então toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel saiu da presença de Moisés.

21 Veio todo o homem, cujo coração o incitou e cujo espírito o impeliu a isso, e trouxe a oferta a Jeová para a obra da tenda da revelação, e para todo o serviço dela, e para os vestidos sagrados.

22 Vieram, tanto homens como mulheres, todos quantos eram bem dispostos de coração, e trouxeram gargantilhas, arrecadas, anéis, braceletes, todas as jóias de ouro; a saber, todo o homem que fez uma oferta de ouro a Jeová.

23 Todo o homem, em cujo poder se achava estofo azul, púrpura, escarlata, linho fino, pêlos de cabras, peles de carneiros tintas de vermelho e peles de animais marinhos, ele os trazia.

24 Trazia a oferta a Jeová todo aquele que fazia uma oferta de prata ou de cobre; e todo o homem em cujo poder se achava madeira de acácia para qualquer obra do serviço, a trazia.

25 Todas as mulheres que eram hábeis, fiavam com as suas mãos, e traziam o que tinham fiado, estofo azul, púrpura, escarlata e linho fino.

26 Todas as mulheres hábeis fiavam os pêlos de cabras.

27 Os príncipes traziam as pedras de ônix e as pedras de engaste para o efode e para o peitoral,

28 e as especiarias, e o azeite para a luz, e para o óleo da unção, e para o incenso aromático.

29 Os filhos de Israel trouxeram uma oferta voluntária a Jeová; a saber, todo o homem e mulher, cujo coração os dispôs para trazerem uma oferta para toda a obra que Jeová tinha ordenado se fizesse por intermédio de Moisés.

30 Disse Moisés aos filhos de Israel: Eis que Jeová chamou por nome a Bezalel, filho de Uri, filho de Hur, da tribo de Judá;

31 e o encheu do espírito de Deus, no tocante à sabedoria, à inteligência, à ciência e a toda a sorte de obras,

32 para fazer invenções, para trabalhar em ouro, em prata e em cobre,

33 para gravar pedras de engaste, para entalhar madeiras, e para trabalhar em toda a sorte de obras finas.

34 Pôs-lhes no coração a ele e a Aoliabe, filho de Aisamaque, da tribo de Dã, o poder de ensinar.

35 A estes encheu da sabedoria do coração para fazerem toda a sorte de obras, seja de gravador, de desenhista, do bordador em estofo azul, em púrpura, em escarlata e em linho fino, e de tecelão sim para fazerem toda a sorte de obra e a daqueles que fazem invenção.

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.
