The People Respond Generously

20

Then the whole community of the people of Isra'el withdrew from Moshe's presence;

21

and they came, everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit made him willing, and brought ADONAI's offering for the work on the tent of meeting, for the service in it and for the holy garments.

22

Both men and women came, as many as had willing hearts; they brought nose-rings, earrings, signet-rings, belts, all kinds of gold jewelry - everyone bringing an offering of gold to ADONAI.

23

Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn; fine linen; tanned ram skins or fine leather brought them.

24

Everyone contributing silver or bronze brought his offering for ADONAI, and everyone who had acacia-wood suitable for any of the work brought it.

25

All the women who were skilled at spinning got to work and brought what they had spun, the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and the fine linen.

26

Likewise the women whose heart stirred them to use their skill spun the goat's hair.

27

The leaders brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set, for the ritual vest and the breasplate;

28

the spices; and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.

29

Thus every man and woman of the people of Isra'el whose heart impelled him to contribute to any of the work ADONAI had ordered through Moshe brought it to ADONAI as a voluntary offering.
