30 (A)Then Moses said to the sons of Israel, “See, Yahweh 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 discernment, and in knowledge, and in all [a]craftsmanship; 32 to devise [b]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 do well in every work of thoughtful design. 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]wisdom in their heart to do 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 those who do every work and make designs.

36 “Now Bezalel and Oholiab and every person [f]wise at heart, to whom Yahweh has given [g]wisdom and discernment to know how to do all the work of the service of constructing the sanctuary, shall do in accordance with all that Yahweh has commanded.”

Making the Tabernacle

Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every person [h]wise at heart to whom Yahweh had given [i]wisdom, (D)everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to do it. And they received from Moses the entire [j]contribution which the sons of Israel had brought [k]to do the work in the service of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. And all the [l]wise men who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [m]the work which [n]he was doing, and they said to [o]Moses, “(E)The people are bringing much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded us to [p]do.” So Moses commanded and a [q]proclamation was passed throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer do the work for the [r]contributions of the sanctuary.” Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more. (F)Indeed, the [s]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to do it.

30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, Jehovah hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31 and he hath filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; 32 and to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 33 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skilful workmanship. 34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the [a]engraver, and of the skilful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise skilful works.

36 And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah hath commanded.

And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it: and they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, wherewith to make it. And they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning. And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought; and they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make. And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing. For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
