Read the Story

Moses gathered all the people. He said, Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to Yahweh. Then he said, Take from among you an offering to Yahweh. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it.

Everyone whose heart stirred him came. Men and women brought bracelets, earrings, rings and gold. Others brought blue, purple and red yarn, fine linen, skins and acacia wood. Women with skill spun yarn with their hands. Some spun goats' hair. The leaders brought onyx stones and jewels for the ephod and breastplate, plus spices and oil.

Moses said, Behold, Yahweh has called by name Bezalel. He said God had filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom and skill, and had put it in his heart to teach, both him and Oholiab. All the people of Israel, men and women, brought a freewill offering to the Lord.

Memory Verse
