Exodus 35
Bible in Basic English
1And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.
2Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.
3No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.
4And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:
5Take from among you an offering to the Lord; everyone who has the impulse in his heart, let him give his offering to the Lord; gold and silver and brass;
6And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,
7And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,
8And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.
9And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.
10And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;
11The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;
12The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;
13The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;
14And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;
