Exodus 35:30–36:1

Craftsmen for the Tent of the ’s Presence

³⁰Moses said to the Israelites, “The Lord has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah. ³¹God has filled him with his power^k and given him skill, ability, and understanding for every kind of artistic work, ³²for planning skilful designs and working them in gold, silver and bronze; ³³for cutting jewels to be set; for carving wood; and for every other kind of artistic work. ³⁴The Lord has given to him and to Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their crafts to others. ³⁵He has given them skill in all kinds of work done by engravers, designers, and weavers of fine linen; blue, purple, and red wool; and other cloth. They are able to do all kinds of work and are skilful designers.

36“Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other workers to whom the Lord has given skill and understanding, who know how to make everything needed to build the sacred Tent, are to make everything just as the Lord has commanded.”
