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

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 ⁶And Moses commanded, and they proclaimed the message^g in the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution.” And so the people were restrained from bringing. ⁷And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.
