Regulations for the Sabbath
1 Moses called together the whole community of the people of Israel and said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded you to do:
2 You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is to be sacred, a solemn day of rest dedicated to me, the Lord. Anyone who does any work on that day is to be put to death.
3 Do not even light a fire in your homes on the Sabbath.”
Offerings for the Sacred Tent
4 Moses said to all the people of Israel, “This is what the Lord has commanded:
5 Make an offering to the Lord. Everyone who wishes to do so is to bring an offering of gold, silver, or bronze;
6 fine linen; blue, purple, and red wool; cloth made of goats’ hair;
7 rams’ skin dyed red; fine leather; acacia wood;
8 oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet-smelling incense;
9 carnelians and other jewels to be set in the High Priest’s ephod and in his breastpiece.

31 God has filled him with his powerand given him skill, ability, and understanding for every kind of artistic work,
32 for planning skillful designs and working them in gold, silver, and bronze;
33 for cutting jewels to be set; for carving wood; and for every other kind of artistic work.
34 The Lord has given to him and to Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their crafts to others.
35 He has given them skill in all kinds of work done by engravers, designers, and weavers of fine linen; blue, purple, and red wool; and other cloth. They are able to do all kinds of work and are skillful designers.
