Of

So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.

But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

…and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.

Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.

Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

…the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

…the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;

…the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;

…the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard;

And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.

So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.

Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.

And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.
