³⁰ And Moses said to the Israelites,^[a] “See, Yahweh has called by name^[b] Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah. ³¹ And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with skill^[c] and with knowledge and with every kind of craftsmanship, ³² and to devise designs, to work with the gold and with the silver and with the bronze, ³³ and in stonecutting for setting and in cutting wood, for doing every kind of design craftsmanship. ³⁴ And he has put it in his heart to teach—he and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. ³⁵ He has filled them with skill of heart to do every work of a craftsman and a designer and an embroiderer with the blue and with the purple, with the crimson yarns and with the fine linen and a weaver; they are doers of every kind of craftsmanship and devisers of designs.

36 And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone who is skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary—they will do it, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”

Making the Tabernacle

² And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it. ³ And they took from Moses all the contributions^[d] that the Israelites^[e] had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings every morning.^{[f] 4} And all the skilled workers who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came, each^[g] from his work that they were doing. ⁵ And they said to Moses, saying, “The people are bringing more^[h] than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”^{[i] 6} And Moses commanded, and they proclaimed the message^[j] in the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution.” And so the people were restrained from bringing. ⁷ And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.
