²⁵And every woman who was skilled of heart with her hands they spun, and they brought yarn—the blue and the purple, the crimson and the fine linen. ²⁶And all the women whose heart lifted them with skill spun the goat hair. ²⁷And the leaders brought the onyx stones and stones for mountings for the ephod and for the breast piece ²⁸and the balsam oils and the oil for light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. ²⁹Every man and woman whose heart impelled them to bring for all the work to be done that Yahweh had commanded by the agency of^j Moses—the Israelites^k brought freely to Yahweh.

³⁰And Moses said to the Israelites,^l “See, Yahweh has called by name^m Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah. ³¹And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with skillⁿ and with knowledge and with every kind of craftsmanship, ³²and to devise designs, to work with the gold and with the silver and with the bronze, ³³and in stonecutting for setting and in cutting wood, for doing every kind of design craftsmanship. ³⁴And he has put it in his heart to teach—he and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. ³⁵He 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.

36And 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

²And 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. ³And they took from Moses all the contributions^a that the Israelites^b 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.^c ⁴And all the skilled workers who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came, each^d from his work that they were doing. ⁵And they said to Moses, saying, “The people are bringing more^e than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”^f
