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
(Exodus 25.1-9)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.

(Exodus 39.32-43)10 “All the skilled workers among you are to come and make everything that the Lord commanded: 11 the Tent, its covering and its outer covering, its hooks and its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases; 12 the Covenant Box, its poles, its lid, and the curtain to screen it off; 13 the table, its poles, and all its equipment; the bread offered to God; 14 the lampstand for the light and its equipment; the lamps with their oil; 15 the altar for burning incense and its poles; the anointing oil; the sweet-smelling incense; the curtain for the entrance of the Tent; 16 the altar on which to burn offerings, with its bronze grating attached, its poles, and all its equipment; the washbasin and its base; 17 the curtains for the enclosure, its posts and bases; the curtain for the entrance of the enclosure; 18 the Tent pegs and ropes for the Tent and the enclosure; 19 and the magnificent garments the priests are to wear when they serve in the Holy Place—the sacred clothes for Aaron the priest and for his sons.”
The People Bring Their Offerings
20 All the people of Israel left, 21 and everyone who wished to do so brought an offering to the Lord for making the Tent of the Lord's presence. They brought everything needed for use in worship and for making the priestly garments. 22 All who wanted to, both men and women, brought decorative pins, earrings, rings, necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry and dedicated them to the Lord. 23 Everyone who had fine linen; blue, purple, or red wool; cloth of goats' hair; rams' skin dyed red; or fine leather, brought it. 24 All who were able to contribute silver or bronze brought their offering for the Lord, and all who had acacia wood which could be used for any of the work brought it. 25 All the skilled women brought fine linen thread and thread of blue, purple, and red wool, which they had made. 26 They also made thread of goats' hair. 27 The leaders brought carnelians and other jewels to be set in the ephod and the breastpiece 28 and spices and oil for the lamps, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet-smelling incense. 29 All the people of Israel who wanted to brought their offering to the Lord for the work which he had commanded Moses to do.
Workers to Make the Tent of the Lord's Presence
(Exodus 31.1-11)30 Moses said to the Israelites, “The Lord has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur from the tribe of Judah. 31 God has filled him with his power and 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.
Norādījums par sabatu
1 Mozus sasauca visu Israēla dēlu sapulci un teica tiem: “Šie ir vārdi, ko Kungs pavēlējis darīt, – 2 sešas dienas lai dara darbus, bet septītā diena lai jums ir svēta Kungam, sabats, kad jāpārtrauc darbs! Ikviens, kas tajā dienā darīs kādu darbu, lai mirst! 3 Neiededziet sabata dienā uguni nevienā savā mājvietā!”
Gatavošanās Saiešanas telts celšanai
(2Moz 25:1–92Moz 39:32–43)4 Un Mozus teica visai Israēla dēlu sapulcei: “Tā pavēlējis Kungs: 5 dodiet ikviens Kungam ziedojumus, ikviens, kam dāsna sirds, lai nes ziedojumu Kungam – zeltu, sudrabu un varu, 6 purpurzilu, purpura, sarkanu un vieglbalta lina audumu un kazu vilnu, 7 sarkanas aunu ādas, ģērētas ādas un akācijkoku, 8 eļļu gaismeklim un smaržas svaidāmajai eļļai un kvēpināmajām smaržzālēm, 9 oniksus un ieliekamos akmeņus efodam un krūšu uzliktnim. 10 Tie jūsu vidū, kas ir prasmīgi, lai nāk un taisa visu, ko Kungs pavēlējis, – 11 Mājokli un telti, pārsegu, āķus, dēļus, šķērskokus, stabus un pamatus, 12 šķirstu, tā nesamās kārtis, pārsegu un aizkarināmu priekškaru, 13 galdu un tā nesamās kārtis, un visus tā rīkus, un upurmaizes, 14 un gaismekli apgaismojumam, tā rīkus un eļļas lukturīšus, un eļļu gaismai, 15 un altāri kvēpināšanai un tā nesamās kārtis, un svaidāmo eļļu, un kvēpināmās smaržzāles, un durvju priekškaru Mājokļa durvīm, 16 un altāri sadedzināmajiem upuriem un vara režģi, nesamās kārtis un visus rīkus, katlu, kur mazgāties, un tā pamatu, 17 pagalma priekškarus, to stabus un pamatus, un priekškaru pagalma vārtiem, 18 mietiņus Mājoklim un mietiņus pagalmam, un auklas, 19 smalki austas drānas kalpošanai svētvietā, svētās drānas priesterim Āronam un drānas viņa dēliem, lai kalpo kā priesteri.”
Ziedojumi Saiešanas teltij
20 Visa Israēla dēlu sapulce devās projām no Mozus. 21 Un nāca visi, kurus sirds skubināja un kam devīgs gars, un nesa ziedojumu Kungam, lai taisītu Saiešanas telti, visas kalpošanas lietas un svētās drānas. 22 Nāca vīri ar sievām, visi, kam dāsna sirds, viņi nesa piekariņus un riņķus, zīmoggredzenus un rokassprādzes – visas zelta lietas – tā darīja ikviens, kas pienesa zelta veltījumu Kungam. 23 Ikviens, kam bija purpurzils, purpura, sarkans vai vieglbalta lina audums vai kazu vilna, vai sarkanas aunu ādas, vai ģērētas ādas, tas atnesa. 24 Ikviens, kam bija ziedojams sudrabs un varš, tas ziedoja Kungam, un katrs, kam bija akācijkoks, tas nesa to darbiem. 25 Un visas sievas, kam prasmīgas rokas, auda un atnesa, ko bija noaudušas no purpurzila, purpura, sarkana un vieglbalta lina auduma. 26 Un visas prasmīgās sievas auda kazu vilnu. 27 Vadoņi atnesa oniksus un ieliekamos akmeņus efodam un krūšu uzliktnim, 28 un smaržvielas un eļļu gaismeklim un svaidāmajai eļļai un kvēpināmās smaržzāles. 29 Visi vīri un sievas, kam devīga sirds, nesa visu, kas vajadzīgs darbiem, ko Kungs Mozum pavēlēja darīt, – tie Israēla dēli nesa labprātīgu upuri Kungam.
Becalēls un Āholīābs
(2Moz 31:1–11)30 Un Mozus teica Israēla dēliem: “Redziet, Kungs izvēlējās Becalēlu, Ūrī dēlu, Hūra dēlu no Jūdas cilts. 31 Un viņš to ir piepildījis ar Dieva Garu, gudrību un saprātu, ar atziņu un visādām mākām 32 izdomāt un darināt lietas zeltā, sudrabā un varā, 33 apstrādāt akmeni un likt to ietvarā, apstrādāt koku un veikt jebkuru amatu! 34 Viņš licis tiem sirdī spēju mācīt – viņam un Āholīābam, Ahīsāmāha dēlam, no Dāna cilts. 35 Viņš devis tiem gudru sirdi, ka tie spēj jebkuru amatu – gan grebēja, gan šuvēja no purpurzila, purpura, sarkana vai vieglbalta lina auduma, gan audēja – tie prot un izdomā visus darbus.
