Bezalel and Oholiab

31 (A)And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “See, I have called by name Bezalel, the (B)son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have (C)filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in discernment, in knowledge, and in all kinds of [a]craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in [b]bronze, and in the cutting of stones [c]for settings, and in the carving of wood, in order for him to work in all kinds of [d]craftsmanship. And behold, I Myself have [e]appointed with him (D)Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are [f]wise at heart I have put [g]wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you: (E)the tent of meeting, and (F)the ark of testimony, and (G)the [h]mercy seat upon it, and all the furniture of the tent, (H)the table also and its [i]utensils, and the (I)pure gold lampstand with all its [j]utensils, and (J)the altar of incense, (K)the altar of burnt offering also with all its [k]utensils, and (L)the laver and its stand, 10 the [l](M)woven garments as well, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, with which to minister as priests; 11 (N)the anointing oil also, and the (O)fragrant incense for the holy place, they shall make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

Bezalel and Oholiab(A)

31 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel(B) son of Uri, the son of Hur,(C) of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge(D) and with all kinds of skills(E) to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab(F) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan,(G) to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers(H) to make everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting,(I) the ark of the covenant law(J) with the atonement cover(K) on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— the table(L) and its articles, the pure gold lampstand(M) and all its accessories, the altar of incense,(N) the altar of burnt offering(O) and all its utensils, the basin(P) with its stand— 10 and also the woven garments(Q), both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 11 and the anointing oil(R) and fragrant incense(S) for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded(T) you.”
