²¹ Here are ^(A)the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and ^(B)every willing craftsman will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for every kind of service; also the leaders and all the people will be completely at your command.”

The Divisions of the Priests

24 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. ^(A)The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ² And ^(B)Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests. ³ Then David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and ^(C)Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to the schedule of their service.

⁴ There were more leaders found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar. ⁵ Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar. ⁶ And the scribe, Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites, one father’s house taken for Eleazar and one for Ithamar.

⁷ Now the first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, ⁸ the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, ⁹ the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, ¹⁰ the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to ^(D)Abijah, ¹¹ the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, ¹² the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, ¹³ the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, ¹⁴ the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, ¹⁵ the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to ^[a]Happizzez, ¹⁶ the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to ^[b]Jehezekel, ¹⁷ the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, ¹⁸ the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

¹⁹ This was the schedule of their service ^(E)for coming into the house of the Lord according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.

Other Levites

²⁰ And the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, ^[c]Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. ²¹ Concerning ^(F)Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah. ²² Of the Izharites, ^[d]Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. ²³ Of the sons ^[e]of ^(G)Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. ²⁴ Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah; of the sons of Michah, Shamir. ²⁵ The brother of Michah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. ^26 (H)The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah, Beno.

Graces of the Heirs of Grace

3 Remind them ^(A)to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, ^(B)to be ready for every good work,

Submit to Government

13 Let every soul be ^(A)subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

¹³ also for the division of the priests and the ^(A)Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord.

¹⁷ David also commanded all the ^(A)leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, ¹⁸ “Is not the Lord your God with you? ^(B)And has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and before His people.

²⁵ All the women who were ^(A)gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. ²⁶ And all the women whose hearts ^[a]stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair. ^27 (B)The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate, ²⁸ and ^(C)spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. ²⁹ The children of Israel brought a ^(D)freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.

The Artisans Called by God^(E)

³⁰ And Moses said to the children of Israel, “See, ^(F)the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; ³¹ and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, ³² to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, ³³ in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.

³⁴ “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and ^(G)Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. ³⁵ He has ^(H)filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.

Building the Tabernacle

36 “And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every ^(I)gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the ^(J)sanctuary,^[b] shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.”

The People Give More than Enough

² Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone ^(K)whose heart ^[c]was stirred, to come and do the work. ³ And they received from Moses all the ^(L)offering which the children of Israel ^(M)had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. ⁴ Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,

³ And I have ^(A)filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
