² Then Moses summoned Bezalel^(A) and Oholiab^(B) and every skilled person to whom the Lord had given ability and who was willing^(C) to come and do the work.

⁴ And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.^(A)

¹⁷ Tell Archippus:^(A) “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”^(B)

⁶ Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab^(A) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan,^(B) to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers^(C) to make everything I have commanded you:

²³ Paul and Barnabas appointed elders^[a](A) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,^(B) committed them to the Lord,^(C) in whom they had put their trust.

³ Brothers and sisters,^(A) choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit^(B) and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them^{(C) 4} and will give our attention to prayer^(D) and the ministry of the word.”

⁵ for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord today?”

²¹ and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. ²² All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord. ²³ Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn^(A) or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them. ²⁴ Those presenting an offering of silver or bronze brought it as an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work brought it. ²⁵ Every skilled woman^(B) spun with her hands and brought what she had spun—blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen. ²⁶ And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. ²⁷ The leaders^(C) brought onyx stones and other gems^(D) to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. ²⁸ They also brought spices and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.^{(E) 29} All the Israelite men and women who were willing^(F) brought to the Lord freewill offerings^(G) for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.

Bezalel and Oholiab^(H)

³⁰ Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, ³¹ and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills^(I)— ³² to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, ³³ to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. ³⁴ And he has given both him and Oholiab^(J) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach^(K) others. ³⁵ He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work^(L) as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.

¹⁰ “All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded:^(A)
