Moses then convoked the whole Israelite community and said to them:
These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: On six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. You shall kindle no fire throughout your settlements on the sabbath day.
Moses said further to the whole community of Israelites:
This is what the Lord has commanded: Take from among you gifts to the Lord; everyone whose heart so moves him shall bring them–gifts for the Lord: gold, silver, and copper; blue, purple, and crimson yarns, fine linen, and goats’ hair; tanned ram skins, dolphin skins, and acacia wood; oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense; lapis lazuli and other stones for setting, for the ephod and the breastpiece.
So the whole community of the Israelites left Moses’ presence.
