Sabbath Regulations 1Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the LORD has commanded you to do: 2For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the LORD . Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death.

3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

Materials for the Tabernacle 4Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the LORD has commanded: 5From what you have, take an offering for the LORD .

19the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary—both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests.” 20Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses’ presence,
