Exodus Chapter 35

The sabbath. Offerings for making the tabernacle. Beseleel and Ooliab are called to the work.

English (Douay-Rheims)

1 And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done: 2 Six days you shall do work; the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death. 3 You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day. 4 And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying: 5 Set aside with you firstfruits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass, 6 Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats' hair, 7 And rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, setim wood, 8 And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet incense, 9 Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod and the rational. 10 Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded: 11 To wit, the tabernacle, and the roof thereof, and the cover, the rings, and the board-work with the bars, the pillars and the sockets: 12 The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it: 13 The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of proposition: 14 The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires: 15 The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction, and the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle: 16 The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels thereof: the laver and its foot: 17 The curtains of the court, with the pillars and the sockets, the hanging in the doors of the entry. 18 The pins of the tabernacle, and of the court, with their little cords: 19 The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the sanctuary, the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do the office of priesthood to me. 20 And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence of Moses, 21 Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was necessary to the service and to the holy vestments, 22 Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord. 23 If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats' hair, ramskins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, 24 Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses. 25 The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, 26 And goats' hair, giving all of their own accord. 27 But the princes offered onyx stones, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational, 28 And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour. 29 All, both men and women, with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.

30 And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold, the Lord hath called by name Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Juda, 31 And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge, and all learning, 32 To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass, 33 And in engraving stones, and in carpenters' work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially, 34 He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan: 35 Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters' work, and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.

Latin (Clementine Vulgate)

1 Igitur congregata omni turba filiorum Israël, dixit ad eos: Hæc sunt quæ jussit Dominus fieri. 2 Sex diebus facietis opus: septimus dies erit vobis sanctus, sabbatum, et requies Domini: qui fecerit opus in eo, occidetur. 3 Non succendetis ignem in omnibus habitaculis vestris per diem sabbati. 4 Et ait Moyses ad omnem catervam filiorum Israël: Iste est sermo quem præcepit Dominus, dicens: 5 Separate apud vos primitias Domino. Omnis voluntarius et prono animo offerat eas Domino: aurum et argentum, et æs, 6 hyacinthum et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, et byssum, pilos caprarum, 7 pellesque arietum rubricatas, et janthinas, ligna setim, 8 et oleum ad luminaria concinnanda, et ut conficiatur unguentum, et thymiama suavissimum, 9 lapides onychinos, et gemmas ad ornatum superhumeralis et rationalis. 10 Quisque vestrum sapiens est, veniat, et faciat quod Dominus imperavit: 11 tabernaculum scilicet, et tectum ejus, atque operimentum, annulos, et tabulata cum vectibus, paxillos, et bases: 12 arcam et vectes, propitiatorium, et velum, quod ante illud oppanditur: 13 mensam cum vectibus et vasis, et propositionis panibus: 14 candelabrum ad luminaria sustentanda, vasa illius et lucernas, et oleum ad nutrimenta ignium: 15 altare thymiamatis, et vectes, et oleum unctionis et thymiama ex aromatibus: tentorium ad ostium tabernaculi: 16 altare holocausti, et craticulam ejus æneam cum vectibus et vasis suis: labrum et basim ejus: 17 cortinas atrii cum columnis et basibus, tentorium in foribus vestibuli, 18 paxillos tabernaculi et atrii cum funiculis suis: 19 vestimenta, quorum usus est in ministerio sanctuarii, vestes Aaron pontificis ac filiorum ejus, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi. 20 Egressaque omnis multitudo filiorum Israël de conspectu Moysi, 21 obtulerunt mente promptissima atque devota primitias Domino, ad faciendum opus tabernaculi testimonii. Quidquid ad cultum et ad vestes sanctas necessarium erat, 22 viri cum mulieribus præbuerunt, armillas et inaures, annulos et dextralia: omne vas aureum in donaria Domini separatum est. 23 Si quis habebat hyacinthum, et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, byssum et pilos caprarum, pelles arietum rubricatas, et janthinas, 24 argenti, ærisque metalla, obtulerunt Domino, lignaque setim in varios usus. 25 Sed et mulieres doctæ, quæ neverant, dederunt hyacinthum, purpuram, et vermiculum, ac byssum, 26 et pilos caprarum, sponte propria cuncta tribuentes. 27 Principes vero obtulerunt lapides onychinos, et gemmas ad superhumerale et rationale, 28 aromataque et oleum ad luminaria concinnanda, et ad præparandum unguentum, ac thymiama odoris suavissimi componendum. 29 Omnes viri et mulieres mente devota obtulerunt donaria, ut fierent opera, quæ jusserat Dominus per manum Moysi. Cuncti filii Israël voluntaria Domino dedicaverunt.

30 Dixitque Moyses ad filios Israël: Ecce, vocavit Dominus ex nomine Beseleel filium Uri, filii Hur de tribu Juda, 31 implevitque eum spiritu Dei, sapientia et intelligentia, et scientia et omni doctrina, 32 ad excogitandum, et faciendum opus in auro, et argento, et ære, 33 sculpendisque lapidibus, et opere carpentario, quidquid fabre adinveniri potest, 34 dedit in corde ejus: Ooliab quoque filium Achisamech de tribu Dan: 35 ambos erudivit sapientia, ut faciant opera abietarii, polymitarii, ac plumarii, de hyacintho ac purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso, et texant omnia, ac nova quæque reperiant.
