Exodus 31:1-11
New International Reader's Version
Bezalel and Oholiab
31 Then the Lord spoke to Moses. 2 He said, “I have chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri. Uri is the son of Hur. Bezalel is from the tribe of Judah. 3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God. I have filled Bezalel with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skill. 4 He can make beautiful patterns in gold, silver and bronze. 5 He can cut and set stones. He can work with wood. In fact, he can work in all kinds of crafts. 6 I have also appointed Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak, to help him. Oholiab is from the tribe of Dan.
“I have given ability to all the skilled workers. They can make everything I have commanded you to make. Here is the complete list.
7 “the tent of meeting
the ark where the tablets of the covenant law are kept
the cover for the ark
8 the table for the holy bread and its things
the pure gold lampstand and everything used with it
the altar for burning incense
9 the altar for burnt offerings and all its tools
the large bowl with its stand
10 the sacred clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons when they serve as priests
11 the anointing oil
and the sweet-smelling incense for the Holy Room
“The skilled workers must make them just as I commanded you.”
