; everyone doing work on it shall die.
3. You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling-places on the sabbath day.
4. And Moses spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, This is the word which Jehovah commanded, saying,

16. The altar of burnt offering and the grating of bronze made for it, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its pedestal,
17. The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the screen of the gate of the court,
18. The pins of the dwelling-place, and the pins of the court, and their ropes,
19. The garments of service for serving in the holy place, the holy garments 8

20. And all the assembly of the children of Israel went out from before Moses.
21. And they came, every man whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit was willing 9
; they brought Jehovah's offering for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments 8
.
22. And they came, the men with the women, everyone willing in heart; they brought brooches, and earrings, and rings, and girdles, and all jewellery made of gold 10
; and every man who waved a wave-offering of gold to Jehovah.
23. And every man with whom was found violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet and fine linen and [wool of] she-goats and skins of red rams 2

26. And all the women whose hearts stirred them in wisdom spun [the yarn of] she-goats.
27. And the leaders brought shoham 4

28. And spices, and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the incense of spices.
29. Every man and woman whose hearts were willing to bring something for all the work which Jehovah had commanded through Moses to be done 11
[came]; the children of Israel brought a freewill offering to Jehovah.
30. And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, Jehovah has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, belonging to the tribe of Judah.
31. And He has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all [manner of] work 12
,
32. To compose designs 13
, to work 14
in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
33. And in the cutting of stones for filling 15
, and in the carving of wood to work 1
in all [manner of] work of the designer 16
.
34. And He has put [wisdom] into his heart in order that he - he and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach belonging to the tribe of Dan - may teach [others].
35. He has filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work of a craftsman, and of a designer, and of an embroiderer in violet and in purple and in twice-dyed scarlet and in fine linen, and of a weaver - of those doing every work, of those who compose designs 17

CONTENTS
The internal sense of this chapter makes brief reference to every kind of goodness and truth which exists in the Church and in heaven, and from which worship of the Lord springs. These are the things that are meant by the materials which the children of Israel brought willingly to make the tabernacle and everything in it, also the altar of burnt offering, and the garments of Aaron and his sons as well.
