² “Behold, I have called Bezalel by name, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

³ “I have filled him with the Spirit of God—in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all workmanship—

⁴ “to design artistic works (to work in gold and in silver and in copper)

⁵ “with the cutting of stones, the carving of wood, and in all manner of workmanship.

⁶ “And behold, I have given him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom into the hearts of all who are wise-hearted, to make all that I have commanded you:

⁷ “the Tabernacle of the Congregation, the Ark of the Testimony and the Mercy Seat that shall be upon it, with all instruments of the Tabernacle,

⁸ “the Table and its instruments, the pure Lampstand with all its instruments, the Altar of Incense,

⁹ “the Altar of Burnt Offering with all its instruments, the Basin with its pedestal,

¹⁰ “the garments of the ministration, the holy garment for Aaron the Priest and the garments of his sons (to minister in the Priest’s office),

¹¹ “and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the Sanctuary. They shall do according to all that I have commanded you.”

5 I encourage the elders among you. I am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and also a partaker of the Glory that shall be revealed.

⁴ And when that chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive an incorruptible crown of Glory.

⁵ Likewise, you younger people, submit yourselves to the elders. And everyone submit yourselves one to another. Clothe yourselves inwardly in humility. For “God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.”
