Exodus 35:30-Exodus 36:7 - Bezalel And Oholiab

30 Then Moses said to the sons of Israel: Jehovah has called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur of the tribe of Judah. 31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all craftsmanship. 32 He is a master artist familiar with gold, silver, and copper. 33 He knows how to cut and set stones and how to work with wood. He is an expert in all trades. 34 Jehovah also gave Bezalel and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan the ability to teach others. 35 Jehovah made these men highly skilled in all trades. They can do the work of jewelers, carpenters, and designers. They know how to embroider violet, purple and bright red yarn on fine linen. They know how to weave yarn on a loom. They can do all kinds of trades. They are master artists.

1 Moses continued speaking: Bezalel and Oholiab will do the work as Jehovah commanded. They will do this with the help of every other craftsman to whom Jehovah has given the necessary skills and talents. They will know how to do all the work for constructing the holy place.

2 Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman to whom Jehovah gave these skills and who was willing to come and do the work. 3 Moses provided them with all the contributions the Israelites brought for the work of constructing the holy place. Plus, the people still kept bringing him (voluntary) freewill offerings every morning.

4 Then the skilled men who were doing the work went 5 to Moses. They said: The people are bringing more than is needed for the work Jehovah commanded to be done.

6 Moses sent a command throughout the camp, saying: No one is to make any further contribution for the sacred Tent. So the people did not bring any more. 7 What had already been brought was sufficient to finish all the work.
