When the whole Israelite community left Moses’ presence, all, as their hearts moved them and their spirit prompted, brought a contribution to the Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its services, and for the sacred vestments.

Both the men and the women, all as their heart prompted them, brought brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces, and various other gold articles. Everyone who could presented an offering of gold to the Lord.

Everyone who happened to have violet, purple, or scarlet yarn, fine linen or goat hair, rams’ skins dyed red or tahash skins, brought them.

Whoever could make a contribution of silver or bronze offered it to the Lord; and everyone who happened to have acacia wood for any part of the work, brought it.

All the women who were expert spinners brought hand-spun violet, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen thread.

All the women, as their hearts and skills moved them, spun goat hair.

The tribal leaders brought onyx stones and other gems for mounting on the ephod and on the breastpiece; as well as spices, and oil for the light, anointing oil, and fragrant incense.

Every Israelite man and woman brought to the Lord such voluntary offerings as they thought best, for the various kinds of work which the Lord, through Moses, had commanded to be done.
