Exodus 35:30-36:7
1599 Geneva Bible
30 ¶ Then Moses said unto the children of Israel, Behold, (A)the Lord hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah,
31 And hath filled him [a]with an excellent spirit of wisdom, of understanding, and of knowledge, and in all manner work,
32 To find out curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in graving stones to set them, and in carving of wood, even to make any manner of fine work.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach other: both he, and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan:
35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart to work all manner [b]of cunning (B)and broidered, and needle work: in blue silk, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen and weaving, even to do all manner of work and subtle inventions.
36 5 The great readiness of the people. 8 The curtains made. 19 The coverings. 20 The boards. 31 The bars, 35 and the veil.
1 Then wrought Bezalel, and Aholiab, and all [c]cunning men, to whom the Lord gave wisdom, and understanding, to know how to work all manner work for the service of the [d]Sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded.
2 For Moses had called Bezalel, and Aholiab, and all the wise-hearted men, in whose hearts the Lord had given wisdom, even as many as their hearts encouraged to come unto that work to work it.
3 And they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the Sanctuary, to make it: also [e]they brought still unto him free gifts every morning.
4 So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy work, came every man from his work which they wrought,
5 And spake to Moses, saying, The people bring too [f]much, and more than enough for the use of the work, which the Lord hath commanded to be made.
6 Then Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the host, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the oblations of the Sanctuary. So the people were stayed from offering.
7 For the stuff they had, was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
