And Moses gathered all the company of the children of Israel together,
and said unto them: these are the things which the LORD hath commanded
to do: Six days ye shall work, but the seventh day shall be unto you
the holy Sabbath of the LORD's rest: so that whosoever doth any work
therein, shall die. Moreover ye shall kindle no fire thorowout all your
habitations upon the Sabbath day. And Moses spake unto all the
multitude of the children of Israel saying: this is the thing which the
LORD commanded saying: Give from among you an heave offering, unto the
LORD. All that are willing in their hearts, shall bring heave offerings
unto the LORD: gold, silver, brass: Iacinth, scarlet, purple, byss and
goats' hair: rams' skins red and taxus' skins and Sethim wood: and oil
for lights and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet cense:
and Onyx stones and stones to be set for the Ephod and for the
breastlap. And let all them that are wise hearted among you, come and
make all that the LORD hath commanded: the habitation and the tent
thereof with his covering and his rings, boards, bars, pillars and
sockets: the ark and the staves thereof with the mercy seat and the
vail that covereth it: the table and his staves with all that
pertaineth thereto and the shewbread: the candlestick of light with his
apparel and his lamps and the oil for the lights: the cense altar and
his staves, the anointing oil and the sweet cense and the hanging
before the tabernacle door: the altar of burnt sacrifices and his
brazen gridiron that longeth thereto with his staves and all his
ordinance and the laver and his foot: the hangings of the court with
his pillars and their sockets, and the hanging to the door of the
court: the pins of the habitation and the pins of the court with their
boards: the ministering garments to minister with in holiness, and the
holy vestments of Aaron the priest and the vestments of his sons to
minister in. And all the company of the children of Israel departed
from the presence of Moses. And they went (as many as their hearts
couraged them and as many as their spirits made them willing) and
brought heave offerings unto the LORD, to the making of the tabernacle
of witness and for all his uses and for the holy vestments. And the men
came with the women (even as many as were willing hearted) and brought
bracelets, earings, rings and girdles and all manner Iewels of gold.
And all the men that waved wave offerings of gold unto the LORD and
every man with whom was found Iacinth, scarlet, purple, byss or goats'
hair or red skins of rams' or taxus' skins, brought it. And all that
hove up gold or brass, brought an heave offering unto the LORD. And all
men with whom was found sethim wood meet for any manner work or
service, brought it. And all the women that were wise hearted to work
with their hands, span, and brought the spun work, both of Iacinth,
scarlet, purple and byss. And all the women that excelled in wisdom of
heart, span the goats' hair.
