Exodus 35:30-36:7
New Living Translation
30 Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The Lord has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31 The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. 32 He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze. 33 He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft. 34 And the Lord has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their skills to others. 35 The Lord has given them special skills as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers.
36 “The Lord has gifted Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the Lord has commanded.”
2 So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the Lord and were eager to get to work. 3 Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning. 4 Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work. 5 They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the Lord has commanded us to do!”
6 So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings. 7 Their contributions were more than enough to complete the whole project.

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
2 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. 3 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. 4 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, 5 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.” 6 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. 7 (F)Indeed, the [s]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to do it.
