that yee should doe them.

2 [Note: Leviticus 20:9; Leviticus 23:3; Deuteronomy 5:12; Luke 13:14.] Sixe dayes shall worke be done, but on the seuenth day there shall be to you an [Note: Hebrew: Helinesse.] holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoeuer doeth worke therein, shall be put to death.

3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations vpon the Sabbath day.

4 And Moses spake vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying,

5 Take ye from amongst you an offring vnto the Lord: [Note: Leviticus 25:2.] Whosoeuer is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord, gold, and siluer, and brasse,

6 And blew, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linnen, and goats haire,

7 And rammes skinnes died red, & badgers skinnes, and Shittim wood,

8 And oyle for the light, and spices for anoynting oyle, and for the sweet incense:

9 And Onix stones, and stones to be set for the Ephod, and for the brestplate.

10 And euery wise hearted among you, shall come and make all that the Lord hath commanded:

11 [Note: Leviticus 26:31.] The Tabernacle, his tent, and his couering, his taches, & his barres, his pillars, and his sockets:

12 The Arke and the staues thereof, with the Mercy seat, and the Uaile of the couering:

13 The Table and his staues, and all his vessels, and the Shewbread,

14 The Candlesticke also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oyle for the light,

15 [Note: Leviticus 30.1.] And the incense Altar, and his staues, and the anoynting oyle, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the doore, at the entring in of the Tabernacle:

of his sonnes to minister in the Priests office.

20 And all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

21 And they came euery one whose heart stirred him vp, and euery one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lords offering to the worke of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and for all his seruice, and for the holy garments.

22 And they came both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earerings, and rings, & tablets, all iewels of gold: and euery man that offered, offered an offering of gold vnto the Lord.

23 And euery man with whom was found blew, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linnen, and goates haire, and red skinnes of rammes, and badgers skinnes, brought them.

24 Euery one that did offer an offering of siluer and brasse, brought the Lords offering: and euery man with whom was found Shittim wood for any worke of the seruice, brought it.

25 And all the women that were wise hearted, did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blew, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linnen.

26 And all the women whose heart stirred them vp in wisedome, spunne goats haire.

27 And the rulers brought Onix stones, and stones to be set for the Ephod, and for the brestplate:

28 And [Note: Leviticus 30.23.] spice, and oyle for the light, and for the anoynting oyle, and for the sweet incense.

29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering vnto the Lord, euery man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all maner of worke, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hands of Moses.

30 And Moses said vnto the children of Israel, See, [Note: Leviticus 31.2.] the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the sonne of Uri, the sonne of Hur, of the tribe of Iudah.

31 And he hath filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisedome, in vnderstanding, and in knowledge, and in all maner of workemanship:

32 And to deuise curious workes, to

[The people liberall.]

worke in gold, & in siluer, and in brasse,

33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in caruing of wood, to make any maner of cunning worke.

34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Aholiab the sonne of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.

35 Them hath hee filled with wisedome of heart, to worke all manner of worke, of the ingrauer, and of the cunning workeman, and of the embroiderer, in blew, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linnen, and of the weauer, euen of them that doe any worke, and of those that deuise cunning worke.
