30 (A)Then Moses said to the sons of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all [a]craftsmanship; 32 [b]to make designs for working in gold and in silver and in [c]bronze, 33 and in the cutting of stones for settings and in the carving of wood, so as to perform in every inventive work. 34 He also has put in his heart to teach, both he and (B)Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 (C)He has filled them with [d]skill to perform every work of an engraver and of a designer and of an embroiderer, in [e]blue and in purple and in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs.

The Tabernacle Underwritten

36 “Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every [f]skillful person in whom the Lord has put [g]skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work [h]in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”

Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every [i]skillful person in [j]whom the Lord had put [k]skill, (D)everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it. They received from Moses all the [l]contributions which the sons of Israel had brought [m]to perform the work [n]in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. And all the [o]skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [p]the work which [q]he was performing, and they said to [r]Moses, “(E)The people are bringing much more than enough for the [s]construction work which the Lord commanded us to [t]perform.” So Moses issued a command, and a [u]proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the [v]contributions of the sanctuary.” Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more. (F)For the [w]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.
