Exodus 35:30-36:7
New American Standard Bible
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, in knowledge, and in all [a]craftsmanship; 32 to create [b]designs for working in gold, 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, of a designer, and of an embroiderer, in violet, 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, Oholiab, and every [e]skillful person in whom the Lord has put [f]skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work [g]in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with everything that the Lord has commanded.”
2 Then Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and every [h]skillful person in [i]whom the Lord had put [j]skill, (D)everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it. 3 They received from Moses every [k]contribution which the sons of Israel had brought to perform [l]the work [m]in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him [n]voluntary offerings every morning. 4 And all the [o]skillful people who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [p]the work which they were performing, 5 and they said to [q]Moses, “(E)The people are bringing much more than enough for the [r]construction work which the Lord commanded us to [s]perform.” 6 So Moses issued a command, and circulated a [t]proclamation throughout the camp, saying, “No man or woman is to perform work any longer for the [u]contributions of the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing any more. 7 (F)For the [v]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.

Bezalel and Oholiab
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;(A) 31 he has filled him with a divine spirit,[a] with ability, intelligence, and knowledge, and with every kind of skill, 32 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 33 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, in every kind of artistic craft. 34 And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has filled them with skill to do every kind of work done by an artisan or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue, purple, and crimson yarns and in fine linen or by a weaver—by any sort of skilled worker or designer.(B)
36 “Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the Lord has given skill and understanding to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”(C)
2 Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the Lord had given skill, everyone whose heart was stirred to come to do the work,(D) 3 and they received from Moses all the offerings that the Israelites had brought for the work of constructing the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning,(E) 4 so that all the skilled workers who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task being performed, 5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.”(F) 6 So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, 7 for what they had already brought was more than enough to do all the work.
