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.”
