(1) Moshe assembled the entire congregation of Israel and said to them, "These are the things that Hashem has commanded to do. (2) Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day shall be holy for you, a Shabbat of complete restShabbat of complete rest | שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּתוֹן – See the note on Shemot 31:15. to Hashem; all who do work on it shall be put to death. (3) You shall not kindle a firekindle a fire | תְבַעֲרוּ אֵשׁ – See HaRekhasim Levik'ah that fire might be singled out since it was necessary for almost every aspect of the construction of the Tabernacle. Its centrality to construction and ancient technologies might have made it a prototype for all creative work. in all your dwelling places on the Shabbat day." (4) Moshe said to the entire congregation of Israel, saying: "This is the thing that Hashem commanded, saying, (5) 'Take from what is with you a donation offering for Hashem, all whose hearts are willing shall bring it, Hashem's donation offering: gold and silver and copper, (6) and blue, and purple, and worm-scarlet, and linen, and goat hair, (7) and red-dyed ram skins, and sea cow hides and acacia wood, (8) and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrance incense, (9) and sardonyx stones, and stones for setting for the ephod and for the breastplate. (10) And all who are wise-hearted among you shall come and make all that Hashem commanded: (11) the Tabernacle, its tent and its cover, its clasps, its boards, its crossbars, its pillars, and its sockets, (12) the ark and its poles, the cover, and the veil of the screen, (13) the table, its poles, and all its vessels, and the bread of Presence, (14) and the Menorah for the light, its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light, (15) and the incense altar and its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrances spices, and the entrance screen for the entrance of the Tabernacle, (16) the altar of the burnt offering and its copper grating, its poles, and all its vessels, and the copper basin and its base, (17) the hangings of the courtyard, its pillars and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the courtyard, (18) the pegs of the Tabernacle and the pegs of the courtyard and their cords,and their cords | וְאֶת מֵיתְרֵיהֶם – These have not been mentioned previously. (19) the service garments to serve in the Holy, the holy garments for Aharon the priest, and the garments of his sons to serve as priests.'" (20) The entire congregation of the Children of Israel went out from before Moshe. (21) Every man whose heart uplifted himwhose heart uplifted him | אֲשֶׁר נְשָׂאוֹ לִבּוֹ – This phrase might be somewhat synonymous with the following one, "כֹל אֲשֶׁר נָדְבָה רוּחוֹ", both referring to those who were stirred to donate to the Tabernacle. Cf. Ibn Ezra that this phrase refers to the craftsmen who were elevated in wisdom (the heart in Biblical times was understood to be the seat of wisdom), while the second term refers to those who wished to donate. came, and everyone whose spirit made him willing brought Hashem's donation offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments. (22) The men came withwith | עַל – See Ibn Ezra that often "עַל" can mean "with" rather than the more usual "on". Alternatively: "in addition to", with the verse highlighting that the women came first (Ramban). the women; all whose heart was willing brought nose rings,nose rings | חָח – See Shadal, pointing to Yeshayahu 37:29, that this is an ornament placed on the nose. It might alternatively be an earring (Ibn Ezra), a bracelet (Rashi), or brooch (many modern translations). The noun might have the more general connotation of "hook", allowing for all the possibilities. earrings,earrings | נֶזֶם – In Tanakh a "נֶזֶם" can refer either to an earring (Bereshit 35:4, Shemot 32:2-3) or a nose ring (Bereshit 24:47,Yeshayahu 3:21). finger rings,finger rings | וְטַבַּעַת – Elsewhere, this ring is explicitly associated with the hand (Bereshit 41:42, Esther 3:10), and often refers to a signet ring. It relates to the verb "טבע", to "sink" (or, in the case of a signet, "to imprint"). and bracelets,and bracelets | וְכוּמָז – See Ibn Ezra. Cf, Bavli Shabbat 64a and Rashi that it is an ornament placed over a woman's private parts. every golden vessel, every man who waved a wave offering of goldwaved a wave offering of gold | הֵנִיף תְּנוּפַת זָהָב – This is somewhat synonymous with the phrase "donated a donation offering" of verse 24.

(23) And every man with whom was found blue, purple, worm-scarlet, linen, goat hair, red-dyed ram skins, and sea cow hides, brought them.brought them | הֵבִיאוּ – The Hebrew does not include the object "them" either here or in the next verse, but has been included here for clarity. (24) Everyone who donated a donation offering of silver and copper brought Hashem's donation offering, and everyone with whom was found acacia trees for all the work of the service, brought them. (25) And every woman who was wise-hearted spun with her hands, and they brought what they had spun: the blue, the purple, the worm-scarlet, and the linen. (26) And all the women whose heart uplifted them in wisdom spun the goat hair. (27) And the princes brought the sardonyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and the breastplate, (28) and the spices, and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrance spices. (29) Every man and women whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work that Hashem commanded to be made by the hand of Moshe, the Children of IsraelChildren of Israel | בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל – This term might be a rewording of the phrase "man and women" that opened the verse, with the verse repeating the subject of the sentence due to its length. [See Resumptive Repetition for other examples of the phenomenon.] Cf. R. Hirsch that the verse wishes to emphasize how the people brought their gifts as part of a national effort, no one trying to stand out as an individual. brought a free-will offering to Hashem. (30) Moshe said to the Children of Israel, "See, Hashem has called by name Betzalel the son of Uri the son of Chur, from the tribe of Yehuda. (31) He has filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, and with knowledge, and with all types of workmanship, (32) and to design designs, to work in gold, silver, and copper, (33) and in stone cutting for setting and in wood cutting, to work in all types of designing work,designing work | מְלֶאכֶת מַחֲשָׁבֶת – Alternatively: "skilled work", and see the notes on Shemot 26:1 and 31:4. (34) and He has placed in his heart to teach, he and Oholiav the son of Achisamakh, from the tribe of Dan. (35) He has filled them with wisdom of the heart to do all the work of the engraver, of the designer,of the designer | וְחֹשֵׁב – Alternatively: "of the skillful craftsman", and see the discussion of the terms "מַעֲשֵׂה חֹשֵׁב" and "לַחְשֹׁב מַחֲשָׁבֹת" in the notes on Shemot 26:1 and 31:4, respectively. of the embroiderer in blue, in purple, in worm-scarlet, and in linen, and of the weaver, of those who do any workmanship, and who design designs."

(1) Betzalel and Oholiav and every wise-hearted man in whom Hashem placed wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the workto do all the work… | לַעֲשֹׂת אֶת כׇּל מְלֶאכֶת – Alternatively: "to make all the work", with "מְלָאכָה" referring not to the process of creating, but to the objects created. Such usage is more explicit in Shemot 28:24. Elsewhere, too, "מְלָאכָה" can refer to made objects. See Bereshit 33:14, Shemot 22:7, and Shemuel I 15:9 where it means: "possessions". Several of the following verses are similarly ambiguous and can sustain both the idea of "doing work" or "making works". of the service of the Holy, shall do according to all that Hashem commanded. (2) Moshe called Betzalel and Oholiav and every wise-hearted man in whose heart Hashem gave wisdom, everyone whose heart uplifted him, to draw near to do the work. (3) They took from before Moshe all the donation offerings that the Children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the Holy, to do it. And they brought to him more free will offerings every morning. (4) All the wise men who were doing all the work for the Holy came, each man from his work that they were doing. (5) They said to Moshe, saying, "The people are bringing more than enough for the service for the work that Hashem commanded to do." (6) Moshe commanded, and they made word passThey had word pass | וַיַּעֲבִירוּ קוֹל – More literally: "they caused a voice to pass". In other words: "they proclaimed". throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man and woman do more work for the donation offering for the Holy"; and the people were restrained from bringing. (7) And the prepared materialprepared materials | וְהַמְּלָאכָה – See the opinion brought by Ibn Ezra and R. Hirsch. See the note on verse 2 that though "מְלָאכָה" is often translated as "work", it can also refer to possessions. Cf. Rashi: "the work [of contributing]" or Ibn Ezra: "the work [which was done by the volunteers], referring to their spinning and the like. was enough for themenough for them | הָיְתָה דַיָּם – See Ibn Ezra that "them" refers to the workers. Cf. Rashbam that the "ם" at the end of the word "דַיָּם" is superfluous, and the word should be understood as if written "די" (enough). for all the work, to do it and have spare. (8) And everyone who was wise-hearted among the workers made the Tabernacle with ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, purple, and worm-scarlet; with cherubs, the work of a designer he made them. (9) The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width, four cubits for the one curtain, one measure for all the curtains. (10) He joined five of the curtains one to another,one to another | אַחַת אֶל אֶחָת – More literally: "one to one". The same phrase is used also in verses 12, 13, and 22. and five curtains he joined one to another. (11) He made loops of blue along the edge of the curtain at the end of the set, and so he did along the edge of the end curtain of the second set. (12) He made fifty loops on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the end of the curtain that was on the second set; the loops corresponded one to another. (13) He made fifty golden clasps and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, so that the Tabernacle was one. (14) He made curtains of goat hair as a tent over the Tabernacle; eleven curtains he made them. (15) The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width for the one curtain, one measure for the eleven curtains. (16) He joined the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves. (17) He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the set and he made fifty loops along the edge of the curtain of the second set. (18) He made fifty clasps of copper to join the tent, so that it was one. (19) He made a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skins and a covering of sea cow hides on top. (20) He made the boards for the Tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. (21) Ten cubits was the length of the board, and one and a half cubits the width of the one board. (22) Two tenons for a board, parallel one to another; so he did for all the boards of the Tabernacle. (23) He made the boards for the Tabernacle, twenty boards on the southern side, southward. (24) And he made forty silver sockets under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. (25) And for the second side of the Tabernacle, on the northern side, he made twenty boards, (26) and their forty sockets, of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. (27) And at the rear of the Tabernacle, westward, he made six boards. (28) And two boards he made for the corners of the Tabernacle, at the rear. (29) They were adjoined at the bottom, and they ended together at its top in the one ring. So he did for both of them; for the two corners. (30) And there were eight boards and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each board.two sockets… | שְׁנֵי אֲדָנִים שְׁנֵי אֲדָנִים... – Literally: "two sockets, two sockets under the one board". (31) He made crossbars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the Tabernacle, (32) and five crossbars for the boards of the other side of the Tabernacle, and five crossbars for the boards of the rear of the Tabernacle, westward. (33) He made the middle crossbar to cross through in the midst of the boards, from end to end. (34) He overlaid the boards in gold and made their rings of gold as holders for the crossbars; and he overlaid the crossbars in gold. (35) He made a veil of blue, purple, worm-scarlet, and twined linen; the work of a designer he made it, with cherubs. (36) He made for it four acacia pillars and overlaid them with gold, their hooks of gold, and he cast for them four silver sockets. (37) He made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue, purple, worm-scarlet, and twined linen, the work of the embroiderer, (38) and its five pillars and their hooks; and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold, and their five sockets, of copper.

Chapter 37

(1) Betzalel made the ark of acacia wood, two and half cubits its length, one and a half cubits its width, and one and a half cubits its height. (2) He overlaid it with pure gold on the inside and on the outside, and he made for it a golden molding all around. (3) He cast for it four golden rings on its four corners, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. (4) He made for them poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. (5) He brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark. (6) He made a cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits its length and one cubit and a half its width. (7) He made two cherubs of gold; of beaten work he made them, at the two ends of the cover, (8) one cherub at one end, and one cherub at the other end; from the cover he made the cherubs at its two ends. (9) And the cherubs were spreading their wings upwards, screening the cover with their wings, their faces one to another; towards the cover were the cherub's faces. (10) He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits it length, one cubit its width, and one and a half cubits its height. (11) He overlaid it with pure gold, and made for it a golden molding all around. (12) He made for it a rim, a handbreadth all around; and he made a golden molding for its rim all around. (13) He cast for it four golden rings, and he put the rings on the four corners which are at its four legs. (14) The rings were adjacent to the frame, as holders for the poles to carry the table. (15) He made the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold to carry the table. (16) He made the vessels which were on the table, its platters, its ladles, its jugs and its pitchers with which libations were poured of pure gold. (17) He made the Menorah of pure gold; of beaten work he made the Menorah. Its base, its branch, its goblets, its knobs and its blossoms were from it. (18) And six branches going out from its sides, three branches of the Menorah from one of its sides, and three branches of the Menorah from the other side. (19) Three almond-decorated goblets on one branch, a knob and blossom, and three almond-decorated goblets on the other branch, a knob and blossom; so for the six branches that go out from the Menorah. (20) And on the Menorah, four goblets, almond-decorated, its knobs and its blossoms. (21) And a knob beneath the two branches going out from it, and a knob beneath the two branches going out from it, and a knob beneath the two branches going out from it, for the six branches that go out from the Menorah. (22) Their knobs and their branches were from it; all of it was of hammered work, of pure gold. (23) He made its seven lamps, and its tongs and its fire-pans, of pure gold. (24) With a talent of pure gold, he made it, and all its vessels. (25) He made the altar for incense of acacia wood, a cubit its length, a cubit its width, a square, and two cubits its height; its horns were from it. (26) He overlaid it with pure gold, its roof, its walls all around, and its horns; and he made for it a golden molding all around. (27) And two golden rings he made for it, beneath the molding on its two sides, on both sides,its both its sides | עַל שְׁנֵי צִדָּיו – See the note on Shemot 30:4. as holders for the poles to carry it with them. (28) He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. (29) He made oil for holy anointing, and the fragrance spices, pure, the work of a perfumer.

Chapter 38

(1) He made the altar of the burnt-offering of acacia wood, five cubits its length, and five cubits its width, a square, and three cubits its height. (2) He made its horns on its four corners; its horns were from it; and he overlaid it with copper. (3) He made all the vessels of the altar, its pots, its shovels, its basins, its forks, and its fire-pans; all its vessels he made of copper. (4) He made for the altar a grating, a copper network, beneath its ledge, below until its middle. (5) He cast four rings on the four corners of the copper grating, as holders for the poles. (6) He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with copper. (7) He brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with them; hollow-planked he made it. (8) He made a copper basin and its copper base from the mirrorsfrom the mirrors | בְּמַרְאֹת – The noun is related to the root "ראה", to see, hence: "a mirror" (many commentators, noting that in Biblical times mirrors were made of copper rather than glass). See also Ibn Ezra that the "ב", normally translated as: "in" or "with", can also take the meaning: "from" (see such usage in Vayikra 8:32). Cf. R"Y Bekhor Shor: "in the sight of", with the verse emphasizing that the basin was made in view of these women who gathered, as a warning to them, for the waters therein were used to test the suspected adulteress. Prof. Itai Elitzur has more recently proposed: "in the visions of those who gathered…", suggesting that just as Moshe saw a prophetic vision of the vessels (Shemot 25:30), the artisans were shown an image of the basin. [See here.] of those who gathered for service,those who gathered for service | הַצֹּבְאֹת – See R. Avraham b. HaRambam and Shadal. The verb is related to the noun "צָבָא", most commonly used to refer to an army or host, but sometimes also to refer to service (or an allotted time of service), as per its usage in Bemidbar 4:3, 23, Yeshayahu 40:2 and Iyyov 7:1. See also Ibn Ezra and Sforno who similarly translate: "those who gathered for worship/to seek God". Cf. Abarbanel: "those who gathered in hosts" (referring the many who gathered to donate). who gathered for service at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.Tent of Meeting | אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד – Ramban notes that since the Tabernacle has not yet been built, this might refer to Moshe's tent. Alternatively, if one assumes this refers to the Tabernacle, one might suggest that the command to build the basin was given later (see the placement of the command in Chapter 30, distinct from the commands regarding the other vessels), and that the copper for it was gathered only after the Tabernacle itself was already constructed. (9) He made the courtyard. For the southern side, southwards, the hangings for the courtyard were of twined linen, one hundred cubits. (10) Its pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. (11) For the northern side: one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. (12) And for the western side, there were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. (13) And for the eastern side, eastward: fifty cubits. (14) The hangings were fifteen cubits for the shoulder, their pillars three and their sockets three, (15) and for the other shoulder;And for the other shoulder | וְלַכָּתֵף הַשֵּׁנִית – The connotation appears to be: "and likewise for the other shoulder". on this side and that of the gate of the courtyard were hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three. (16) All of the hangings of the courtyard were of twined linen. (17) And the sockets for the pillars were of copper, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops was of silver; and they were banded with silver, all the pillars of the courtyard. (18) And the screen of the gate of the courtyard was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, worm-scarlet, and twined linen, twenty cubits in length, and the height in the widththe height in the width | וְקוֹמָה בְרֹחַב – The meaning of this formulation is not clear. As the screen was only two-dimensional, both terms might refer to the same dimension: while the screen was hanging upright one would refer to this measurement as its height, but while lying on the ground, it would be referred to as its width (A. Hakham, Da'at Mikra Shemot). Alternatively, perhaps the screen was made of four individual curtains, each measuring five cubits in height and five in breadth, like the surrounding hangings (W.C. Propp, The Anchor Bible). was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard.corresponding to the hangings… | לְעֻמַּת קַלְעֵי הֶחָצֵר – See Rashi that the screen's height measured the same as the courtyard hangings. (19) And their pillars were four and their sockets four, of copper; their hooks were of silver and the overlaying of their tops and their bands were of silver. (20) And all the pegs of the Tabernacle and the courtyard, all around, were of copper.
